NEET UG 2026 Category-Wise Qualifying Percentile
NTA uses a fixed percentile cut-off to decide who qualifies for counselling. The percentile bands remain the same every year, though the corresponding raw marks shift with the difficulty of the paper.
| Category | Qualifying Percentile |
|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) and EWS | 50th percentile |
| OBC, SC, and ST | 40th percentile |
| UR-PwBD | 45th percentile |
| OBC / SC / ST with PwBD | 40th percentile |
The raw marks matching these percentile cut-offs for the 2026 cycle have been published in the official information bulletin accompanying the result.
What Happens After the Result?
The result triggers two parallel counselling processes for admission to medical UG seats across India. Candidates must register separately for the counselling round they wish to join.
- All India Quota (15 percent) and central institutions: Conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at mcc.nic.in.
- State Quota (85 percent): Conducted by the respective state counselling authorities on their own portals.
Both processes will use the NEET UG 2026 AIR as the sole basis for merit.
