Govt. Dental College & Hospital, Cuddalore

Govt. Dental College & Hospital, Cuddalore has been predictable under Tamil Nadu state counselling. The OPEN cutoff has stayed within a 553-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 1,357 ranks (29%) between Round 1 and Round 3 in 2025. If you missed the Round 1 cutoff by up to 950 ranks, keep this college on your preference list for subsequent rounds.

Category matters significantly at this college. The SCA cutoff is 3.5× 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.

Rank-based planning: AIR 4,335 or better = safe (high probability of allotment). AIR 4,335–6,193 = target (likely but not certain). AIR 6,193–7,169 = reach (possible in later rounds only). These bands are derived from 3 years of closing rank data.
