Government Dental College, Pudukkottai has been predictable under Tamil Nadu state counselling. The OPEN cutoff has stayed within a 179-rank band across 3 years. Students whose rank falls within this band can plan around this college with reasonable confidence.
Later rounds significantly widen the entry window here. The closing rank relaxed by 128 ranks (22%) between Round 1 and Round 3 in 2025. If you missed the Round 1 cutoff by up to 90 ranks, keep this college on your preference list for subsequent rounds.
Category matters significantly at this college. The SCA cutoff is 29.2× the OPEN cutoff, meaning reserved category students have a dramatically wider rank window. If you belong to SCA, this college is accessible at ranks that would be far out of reach for general category candidates.
At mean cutoff AIR 770, this is a top-tier seat. Students with ranks better than AIR 603 can list it as a safe option; ranks up to AIR 888 make it a reach. Beyond that, skip it.
