🔥 NEET UG 2026 RESULTS DECLARED: BIGGEST UPDATES YOU NEED TO KNOW! 🔥
The wait is officially over! The National Testing Agency (NTA) has declared the final results for NEET UG 2026. With historic shifts in cut-offs and intense competition at the very top, this year’s data is changing the game for medical admissions.
Here is a quick breakdown of the official highlights every aspirant and parent needs to see:
🏆 THE SHINING STARS
AIR 1 Joint Toppers: A***n Gupta (Punjab) and Panshul Bansal (Haryana) topped the nation with an incredible 715/720 marks!
Girl Power: Female candidates completely outshone, making up over 58% of the total qualified pool.
Massive Competition: More than 11.21 lakh candidates qualified this year.
📊 OFFICIAL NTA QUALIFYING CUT-OFFS (2026)
The qualifying benchmarks have reached historic highs:
General / EWS: 715 – 213 Marks (50th Percentile)
OBC / SC / ST: 212 – 177 Marks (40th Percentile)
PwBD (Disabled): Ranges from 177 up to 212 Marks
⚠️ THE REALITY CHECK FOR GOVERNMENT SEATS
Remember: Simply clearing the qualifying marks (e.g., 213 for General) grants eligibility for counseling, but securing a Government MBBS seat requires a much higher score:
General (UR) Safe Score: ~615 – 630+ Marks for comfortable All India Quota safety.
OBC / EWS Safe Score: ~590 – 625+ Marks.
SC / ST Safe Score: ~480 – 550+ Marks.
(Note: State Domicile Quotas will offer a massive protective cushion of 30,000 to 80,000 ranks deeper compared to AIQ!)
