The original NEET UG 2026 examination was held on 3 May 2026. NTA subsequently announced a re-examination, which was conducted on 21 June 2026. The re-examination result was declared in July, and the result/scorecard is used for the 2026-27 admission cycle. Candidates should refer to their own NTA scorecard for marks, percentile, All India Rank and qualifying status.
NTA published the final answer key after the re-examination answer-key challenge process. The final answer key and the scorecard are separate documents. Candidates should use the scorecard for their official marks and rank rather than estimating their result from a provisional answer key.
If the original scorecard download link is no longer available, check NTA's latest instructions. NTA issued a duplicate scorecard procedure on 17 September 2026 for candidates whose original scorecard has been lost, stolen, damaged, mutilated or destroyed. The procedure requires an application and supporting documents and is subject to verification by NTA. It is not a general re-download facility for candidates who simply did not save their original scorecard.
Read NTA's official duplicate scorecard procedure.
NEET counselling is conducted separately by the central and state authorities. MCC handles All India Quota and specified institutional or central university seats, while state counselling authorities handle their respective state quota and other state-controlled seats. Candidates must register on the correct portal and follow the schedule applicable to their seat type.
As of 14 November 2026, MCC's latest major MBBS counselling update is the final allotment result for the special stray vacancy round.

Candidates who have been allotted a seat in this round should complete joining formalities by the deadline printed in the schedule and allotment instructions.

Keep the original documents and the required photocopies ready. The final document list depends on the counselling authority, category and college. Commonly requested documents include:
Do not assume that the same document list applies to every state or institution. Read the current information bulletin and reporting notice before travelling for admission.
Before accepting or reporting for a seat, read the rules for free exit, upgradation, resignation and forfeiture of security deposit in the relevant counselling bulletin. The rules can differ by round.
NEET qualification is based on the qualifying percentile prescribed for the candidate's category in the applicable information bulletin. The qualifying percentile is not the same as the closing rank or admission cutoff of a particular medical college. Actual admission depends on the candidate's All India Rank or state merit position, category, seat quota, college preferences and the available seats in the counselling round.
Use the qualifying status printed on the official NTA scorecard. Do not rely on unofficial expected cutoffs to decide whether you have qualified.
