Green marks 70 or above, red below 35. The last column is the change against this institution's own 2024 rank. Perception
comes from a survey, so newer and regional institutions often score low on it even where teaching and outcomes are
strong.

How to use this list
• Entrance exams. NEET UG is the single route to BDS across India, for both the all-India quota and state quotas.

• A rank is not a ranking of your experience. NIRF measures the institution as a whole, not the individual
department or specialisation. One ranked lower overall may still be stronger for the one you want.

• Participation is voluntary. A good institution missing here may simply not have submitted data. Absence is not
evidence of poor quality.

• Check the year. These are India Rankings 2025 figures, released September 2025. The 2026 edition is expected
later in 2026 and will supersede them.
