"I was completely lost after my NEET MDS 2025 result. Navin sir not only told me exactly which colleges to fill in Maharashtra state quota, but also helped me understand the stray vacancy round. I got Orthodontics at Government Dental College, Mumbai. Life-changing!"
"I almost gave up and thought my score of 572 was too low. Navin sir showed me data I didn't even know existed — Tamil Nadu state cutoffs, deemed college options, management quota strategy. I'm now in MDS Periodontics. Worth every rupee."
"Three of my batchmates enrolled with different 'free' groups on Telegram and didn't get seats they deserved. I paid for Navin sir's Platinum Plan and got OMFS at MAHER University. The data, the speed, the accuracy — unmatched."

Based on 2025 closing data and the 2026 merit list distribution, the expected NEET MDS 2026 cutoff for General category in government dental colleges under MCC AIQ ranges between 560–680 marks depending on specialty. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery remains the highest cutoff specialty, while Public Health Dentistry typically has the lowest.
MCC NEET MDS counselling typically has 2 main rounds followed by a Stray Vacancy round. Each round requires separate choice filling. The Stray Vacancy round is crucial as it fills remaining unfilled seats and can be your last opportunity.
Yes, you can register and participate in both MCC counselling (for All India Quota seats) and state quota counsellings (for state-level seats) simultaneously. However, once you accept a seat in MCC, your state counselling options may be affected depending on state rules.
Required documents include: NEET MDS 2026 Admit Card and Result, Class 10 & 12 certificates, BDS degree certificate and mark sheets, Internship completion certificate, MCI/State Council registration, Category certificate (if applicable), Domicile certificate for state quota, and photos.
All India Quota (AIQ) seats (15% of government seats) are filled through MCC counselling and open to all regardless of domicile. State Quota seats (85% of government + all private college seats) are filled through state counsellings and usually require state domicile.
Yes, private and deemed dental colleges have management quota seats (typically 15–25% of total seats) that are filled through the respective college after state counselling rounds. These seats may have higher fees but lower cutoffs.
Specialty selection depends on: your NEET MDS 2026 score, category, government vs private preference, and 2025 baseline cutoffs. A high scorer may access OMFS or Orthodontics; mid-range may target Periodontics or Prosthodontics. Our counselling maps your exact rank.
The Stray Vacancy Round fills seats left unfilled after main MCC rounds. Cutoffs can drop significantly (20–40 marks). However, it requires fast decision-making within 24–48 hours. Expert guidance is highly recommended for this round.
Our counselling packages start from our Silver plan for basic MCC guidance, up to our comprehensive Platinum counselling including management quota strategy, stray vacancy guidance, and post-admission support. Visit neetadmission.in to book.
MCC typically begins NEET MDS counselling 4–6 weeks after result declaration. State counsellings may start simultaneously or follow MCC rounds. Register early on mcc.nic.in and stay updated with our alerts.
