You need to decide on your first preferred speciality or branch and then your second and third . Then decide which colleges you prefer -it could be as per the location of college and distance from your home or stipend or the name and ranking of the college.

For eg if you live in Delhi and your choice is only orthodontics then fill up all the college’s in and around Delhi or you can choose the top colleges from All over India in orthodontics .Then if you can think about taking prosthodontics as your second choice you can put in a list of colleges with prosthodontics after ortho preferences.There can be a lot of permutations and combinations that you can make in your list with speciality and college.

See the choice should be your own ,Don’t listen to anyone and join a branch which you don’t like just because it is a good college. Join a branch and college which you prefer.
