Hello Aspirant. You mentioned your expected marks in NEET UG 2021 is 160 and that you belong to BC (OBC-NCL) category. Based on your marks, your overall percentile ends up around 55.22 - 55.82 and your AIR may end up somewhere around 682106 - 757256 considering difficulty of the paper to be moderate.

As per your performance in NEET UG 2021, it is less likely for you to get admission at Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences, Pondicherry. In 2019, NEET UG Cutoff AIR prescribed for OBC category were 169402 (for Home State ) and 193478 (for All India) .

PIMS is a tertiary care hospital and teaching institute at Kalapet area in the Union Territory of Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, India. The college has been approved for full recognition by MCI and MBBS degree being granted by the Pondicherry University. The institute has been established in 2002 and the area of the campus is around 45 acres .

If you really get this score then it will be hard for you to get admission to MBBS or BDS at any top-rated Private medical colleges under Government quota, let alone chances to get seats at Government medical colleges. In other words, getting chance to contest a seat for MBBS/BDS is less even if you participate in All India or State Counselling process.

However, you may get admission at few Private dental colleges for BDS via Management quota, if you are willing to pay exceptionally high price.

At this point, if you ask for my opinion, I'd say you better try again next year and start your preparation for NEET UG 2022 from scratch.
