Hello,

The cut-off in Jammu and Kashmir for students to get the MBBS seats under the EWS category is around 420 in NEET. For BDS, the cutoff is slightly lower than the MBBS cutoff. Following the trend and previous years' cut-off data:

• EWS Cutoff Marks: As per the percentile 50 for NEET 2024, the marks for appearing in the counseling process of the EWS category should be at least 164.
• BDS Trends: Closing ranks of government dental colleges under diverse categories for the previous year were in the range of around 16,000 to 30,000. So, probably, BDS seats under EWS category will be viable with NEET scores anywhere from 350 to 400, which may all depend on college and type of counseling round.

More precise information and better predictions can only be got by awaiting the state counseling notification and merit list release for the 2024 admission cycle.
