Factors Affecting NEET 2024 Cutoff for BDS

The NEET 2024 BDS government college cutoff for admission changes every year. A few of the factors affecting NEET 2024 cutoff for BDS are as follows:

  • Number of Test Takers : Total number of students registered and appeared for the NEET UG 2024 affects the BDS government college cut off.

NEET 2024 Cutoff for BDS Tie-Breaking Criteria (Revised)

This year, the NEET 2024 tie-breaking policy has been revised. Computer technology and human intervention have been abolished going forward for NEET 2024 admission into BDS courses. In order of preference, let's examine the updated NEET 2024 tie-breaking policy:

  • Tie-Breaking Criteria 1 : Students who have the highest percentile or grades in biology will be selected in order of preference.
  • Tie-Breaking Criterion 2 : The marks obtained in the NEET chemistry section will be given precedence if the first criterion is unable to break the deadlock.
  • Tie-Breaking Criterion 3 : The better chemistry percentile will take precedence.
  • Tie-Breaking Criteria 4 : If the first three criteria are unable to break the tie, the higher physics percentile will take precedence.
  • Tie-Breaking Criterion 5 : The quantity of wrong answers in biology will be prioritized as the fifth criterion. Students will be given precedence if they have fewer incorrect answers in biology.
  • Tie-Breaking Criterion 6 : In the event that the previous criteria are not met, preference is given to a smaller percentage of erroneous answers in the NEET chemistry section.
  • Tie-Breaking Criterion 7 : The amount of wrong answers serves as the last chance to break ties.
