SCB Dental College and Hospital

SCB Dental College and Hospital, Cuttack is a long-established dental institution in Cuttack, Odisha, dating back to 1962. Operating under the Dental Council of India (DCI), it offers BDS at the undergraduate level and MDS specialisations for postgraduate students, with an attached hospital that provides extensive clinical training across the dental specialties.

BDS admission is decided through NEET-UG, while NEET-MDS governs entry to its postgraduate seats, both filled via Odisha and all-India counselling.

Admission to SCB Dental College and Hospital is entirely NEET-based; there is no separate entrance test. Undergraduate seats (BDS) are filled through NEET-UG. Candidates must qualify NEET and then take part in centralised counselling — direct admission is not permitted.

As a government college, seats are divided between the 15% All India Quota and the 85% state quota. The All India Quota is counselled online by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), while the state quota is counselled by the Odisha State NEET-UG Counselling. Both run in rounds — Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up and Stray Vacancy — with seats allotted strictly on NEET rank, category and choice order.

To secure a seat, a NEET-qualified candidate registers for the relevant counselling, fills a preference list that includes SCB Dental College and Hospital, and is allotted a seat if their rank clears the closing rank for that quota and category in that round. Closing ranks move each year with the number of applicants and seats, so treat past cut-offs as guidance, not a guarantee.
