As per the notification, the online application submission facility based on revised minimum qualifying criteria for the MDS-2025 course in Dental Colleges in Kerala will be available till 24 August 2025, 11:59 PM. Candidates who are qualified in the NEET-MDS-2025 as per the newly announced revised cut-off scores and satisfy the eligibility conditions can submit an online application to the CEE Kerala through the official website for the stray vacancy round. The allotment will be conducted to fill up the currently available vacant seats and vacancies arising, if any. The net vacant seats after the third round are published herewith.

Candidates can avail the facility of application submission through the link‘PG Dental 2025 – Re-Opening Online Application’ and should complete the online submission of application and upload the required documents within the timeline. The application facility is hosted on the official website of CEE Kerala.

Application fee is Rs 1,000/- and in the case of SC/ST candidates and those eligible for SC/ST benefits is Rs 500/-. Documents in support of the basic eligibility (such as nativity, birth proof, etc.) along with those for the following benefits, if applicable, should be uploaded within the stipulated time limit-

a) Fee Concession.

b) Lower NEET-MDS-2025 cut-off for reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC).

c) Any other category claim.

In this phase of online application submission, only those candidates who have freshly qualified as per the revised qualification criteria will be able to submit the applications. The National Eligibility and Entrance Test-Master of Dental Surgery (NEET MDS) 2025 minimum qualifying percentile has been lowered by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), as shown in the table below-

Candidates submitting fresh applications with any community reservation claim and with a percentile higher than or equal to the 40th percentile and lower than the 50th percentile and candidates submitting fresh applications in the PwD Category with a percentile higher than or equal to the 45th percentile and lower than the 50th percentile will not be considered for category claims, even if they submit the required certificates and documents in proof of their claim.

Meanwhile, the candidates who have applied for the PG Dental Course Allotment 2025 earlier, but were excluded from the merit list due to the failure to upload the relevant documents in the stipulated time to substantiate their claim, will not be allowed the category claims, even though they submit relevant documents at this stage.

Such candidates can participate in the allotment process as General Category only and will not be considered for category claims, but they need not submit an online application again. Newly qualified candidates, who find a place in the rank list, can participate in the stray vacancy filling allotment, subject to the condition that none of the allotments/admissions carried out in the previous allotments are disturbed.
