ReNEET UG 2026 Cutoff Out: Check General, OBC, SC, ST and PwD Qualifying Marks

NTA has announced the cutoff of Re-NEET UG 2026 along with the result. Aspirants who have appeared in the entrance examination for medical courses can now view their scorecard along with the qualifying marks as per their categories.

The cutoff shows the minimum marks and percentile candidates must secure to qualify for the counselling process.

Qualified candidates can apply for admission to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, BSc Nursing and other undergraduate medical programmes.

The Re-NEET UG 2026 result and qualifying cutoff were announced on July 16, 2026.

NEET UG 2026 Cutoff: Category-Wise Qualifying Marks

The NEET UG 2026 qualifying cutoff has been prepared according to the percentile criteria prescribed by the National Medical Commission (NMC).

The NTA has announced the qualifying percentile and corresponding score range for each category.

Candidates who have secured the minimum qualifying marks for their category are eligible to participate in the NEET UG counselling process.

However, qualifying for the examination doesn’t guarantee admission. College allotment will depend on the candidate’s All India Rank, category, preferences, seat availability and admission cutoff.

NEET UG 2026 Category-Wise Qualified Candidates

Along with the cutoff marks, the NTA has released category-wise data for qualified candidates.

The agency has clarified that these figures represent candidates who qualified under the categories mentioned in their official scorecards.

Overall, more than 11.21 lakh candidates qualified for Re-NEET UG 2026 across all categories.

NEET UG 2026 Cutoff Increases Compared to 2025

The NEET UG 2026 qualifying score range has increased compared with the previous year.

The rise is particularly noticeable for candidates in the UR and EWS categories. The lower end of the qualifying range increased from 144 marks in 2025 to 213 marks in 2026.

Reserved-category cutoff marks have also increased.

The cutoff can change every year depending on the examination’s difficulty level, the number of candidates, overall performance and the highest marks obtained.

NEET Qualifying Cutoff vs Admission Cutoff

Students must be aware of the difference between qualifying cut-off and admission cut-off.

Qualifying cut-off is the minimum score required for clearing NEET UG exam and getting into the counselling process.

Admission cut-off is the final rank or score required for securing a seat in a specific medical college.

Admission cut-off scores are higher than qualifying scores. Admission cut-offs differ based on college, courses, category, quota, counselling round, and seats available.

Even if the student qualifies for the NEET UG test, he/she may not get an MBBS seat due to low final rank in comparison with cut-off of that college.
