Why UP BDS Government Seats Are Highly Competitive in 2025

The demand for BDS programs in UP government colleges continues to rise for several reasons:

 Affordable Fees vs. Private Colleges

Government dental colleges in UP offer fees between ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000 per year, making them one of the most cost-effective options for BDS students. In contrast, private college fees range from ₹2–5 lakh annually.

 Academic Reputation

Institutions such as KGMU, RIMS & RML, and BDCs hold strong clinical exposure and practical training reputations, attracting more applicants in all rounds.

 Higher Closing Merit

With more candidates applying through UP state counselling, even Round 3 cutoff remains competitive for general and OBC categories.

 General Category Cutoff Trend – URGL & UROP

The URGL closing rank at 34386 (517 marks) indicates a strong year for achievers above the 510+ range. This is comparatively higher than previous sessions where Round 3 usually closed around 490–500.

Key reasons for increased cutoff:

  • Increasing number of high scorers in NEET UG 2025
  • Preference for government BDS over medium-tier MBBS private seats
  • Delay in resignations from AIQ seats due to Supreme Court directives

 OBC Category Cutoff Analysis – BCGL

BCGL closed at 36330 AIR with 515 marks, almost matching the general category marks. This reflects:

  • Reduced OBC seat availability
  • Increased participation in state counselling due to AIQ Round-3 restrictions
  • High interest in KGMU BDS program

Students aiming for Round 4 or stray vacancy should understand that competition will remain consistent, and marks below 505 may be borderline for government seats.

 Special Category Cutoff – BCPH, SCOP, STOP

 BCPH Category (PH Reservation)

Closing AIR: 1201395
Marks: 128

This category follows a relaxed benchmark, but students must ensure correct documentation to retain the allotted seat.

SCOP Category Trend

Closing AIR: 196201
Marks: 407

SC category seats saw strong engagement this year with rising cutoffs compared to 2024.

 STOP Category (ST)

Closing AIR: 553649
Marks: 264

While the marks appear lower, competition in ST category remains stable due to limited seats.

What Students Should Expect in Stray Vacancy Round

With AIQ Round-3 joined candidates not eligible for state Round-3 (as per Supreme Court), several seats in UP may be redistributed in stray rounds.

Likely trends:

  • General category cutoff may drop by 5–10 marks
  • SC/ST categories may drop slightly more
  • OBC likely to remain stable due to high demand

 Final Advice for NEET Aspirants

If your marks are:

  • 510+ → Strong chance in government BDS (Round 3 or Stray)
  • 480–505 → Slight chances; consider private colleges
  • Below 480 → Evaluate BAMS, BHMS, BUMS or BDS private options
