Two types of cutoff exist, know which one matters to you: The qualifying cutoff (set by NTA) is the minimum marks to enter counselling. The admission cutoff is the marks actually needed to secure an MBBS seat in a college. These are vastly different numbers. Qualifying with 144 marks does not get you a seat. Getting a government MBBS seat requires 600 marks or more.
Re-NEET 2026 Expected Qualifying Cutoff (Category-Wise)
NTA sets the qualifying cutoff using percentile. General/EWS candidates must score at the 50th percentile. OBC, SC and ST candidates must score at the 40th percentile. The marks at those percentile positions vary each year based on how the full candidate pool performs.
| Category | Qualifying Percentile | NEET 2025 Official (Benchmark) | Re-NEET 2026 Expected Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| General / UR | 50th Percentile | 144 marks | 138 to 145 marks |
| EWS | 50th Percentile | 144 marks | 138 to 145 marks |
| OBC-NCL | 40th Percentile | 113 marks | 108 to 118 marks |
| SC | 40th Percentile | 113 marks | 108 to 118 marks |
| ST | 40th Percentile | 113 marks | 108 to 118 marks |
| General / EWS PwD | 45th Percentile | 127 marks | 122 to 130 marks |
| OBC / SC / ST PwD | 40th Percentile | 113 marks | 108 to 118 marks |
| These are expected estimates based on NTA 2025 official data. Official cutoff released with Re-NEET 2026 result on neet.nta.nic.in only. | |||

NEET 2026 Course-Wise Expected Cutoff Marks
NEET 2026 score is used for admission to multiple medical and allied health courses, not just MBBS. The cutoff varies significantly by course and type of college.
| Course | General Government | Reserved Category Govt | Private College |

4 Factors That Determine the NEET Qualifying Cutoff Every Year
| Factor | How It Affects Cutoff | 2026 Status |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Candidates | More candidates increase competition. The score at the 50th percentile rises when more people score higher overall. | 22.79 lakh registered. High competition level. |
| Paper Difficulty | Harder paper means fewer high scorers. The 50th percentile falls at a lower marks threshold. Easier paper pushes the cutoff up sharply (as seen in 2024 when cutoff rose to 162). | Re-NEET June 21 reported as moderate. Biology easier, Physics tougher. Suggests cutoff near 138 to 145. |
| Seat Availability | Total MBBS seats for 2026 counselling: approximately 1,29,603. If NMC approves new colleges, additional seats ease the admission cutoff slightly. Qualifying cutoff is not directly affected by seat count. | 63,683 government MBBS seats. 65,920 private and deemed seats. |
| Legal or Administrative Events | In 2024, Supreme Court intervention reduced the General cutoff from 162 to 137. Re-NEET 2026 itself is a result of the paper leak event. Any further legal intervention post-result could alter the cutoff. | Watch official NTA communications closely after result declaration. |
What to Do After Calculating Your Re-NEET 2026 Score
| Your Expected Score | Realistic Outlook | Next Steps |
|---|---|---|
| 620+ (General) | Govt MBBS confirmed range | Prepare college preference list. Research MCC AIQ and state quota closing ranks from 2025. Organise all documents for counselling. |
| 550 to 619 (General) | State quota in range | Focus on state-specific counselling. Your home state’s 85% quota is primary target. Use MCC stray vacancy rounds for additional options. |
| 460 to 549 (General) | Private MBBS and BDS | Research private MBBS fee structures and management quota options. BDS government seats in your state. AYUSH government options through AACCC. |
| 380 to 459 (General) | AYUSH and BDS private | Appear in all counselling rounds. BAMS government in some states. Evaluate NEET 2027 re-attempt seriously. |
| 144 to 379 (General) | Qualified but limited | Appear in counselling for completeness. Begin NEET 2027 preparation now. Identify subject gaps from this attempt. |
| Below 138 (General) | Not qualified | Not eligible for any 2026 counselling round. Start NEET 2027 preparation immediately with structured subject plan. |
| SC/ST/OBC candidates should use the category-specific score ranges from the safe score table above, not the General figures in this table. | ||
For candidates who need to re-attempt NEET 2027: NEET Biology carries 360 marks out of 720 and is the most directly NCERT-dependent section. Students who under-score on Biology relative to their Physics and Chemistry performance typically gain the most marks in a focused re-attempt. Complete NCERT Biology line by line before moving to any other material.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Re-NEET 2026 expected cutoff for General category?
The Re-NEET 2026 expected qualifying cutoff for General and EWS candidates is approximately 138 to 145 marks out of 720. This is the 50th percentile threshold. NEET 2025 official qualifying marks were 144 for General. The qualifying cutoff only gives you eligibility for counselling. For a government MBBS seat under the All India Quota, you need 620 to 650 or more marks.
What is the Re-NEET 2026 cutoff for OBC, SC and ST categories?
OBC, SC and ST candidates need to score at the 40th percentile. For Re-NEET 2026, this is expected at approximately 108 to 118 marks. NEET 2025 official cutoff for these categories was 113 marks. For government MBBS: OBC candidates need 580 to 610 marks through AIQ, SC candidates 500 to 530 marks, and ST candidates 480 to 510 marks for AIQ government seats.
When will the Re-NEET 2026 result be declared?
Re-NEET 2026 was conducted on June 21, 2026. NTA has not announced the result date yet. Based on past NEET result timelines, results are typically declared within 3 to 4 weeks of the exam. The official cutoff will be released alongside the result on neet.nta.nic.in. All cutoff figures on this page are estimates until the official announcement.
What is the NEET qualifying cutoff vs admission cutoff difference?
The qualifying cutoff is the minimum marks set by NTA to make you eligible for counselling, expected at 138 to 145 for General in 2026. The admission cutoff is the actual marks or closing rank needed to secure a seat in a specific college during counselling, typically 600 or more for government MBBS. Clearing the qualifying cutoff only enters you into the counselling process. It does not guarantee any seat.
Why was Re-NEET 2026 conducted instead of NEET 2026?
The original NEET UG 2026 conducted on May 3, 2026 was cancelled by NTA following a confirmed question paper leak. NTA conducted Re-NEET 2026 on June 21, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM. All 2026 MBBS admissions will be based entirely on Re-NEET 2026 performance. The original May 3 exam results carry no validity.
Can I get government MBBS with 500 marks in Re-NEET 2026?
For General category, 500 marks is below the competitive range for government MBBS through AIQ (which requires 620 or more). However, SC candidates with 500 or more marks can compete for government MBBS through AIQ in many states. ST candidates may find government MBBS options even below 500 in some states. OBC candidates at 500 marks may access some state quota government seats in lower-competition states. The outcome depends heavily on category and state domicile.
What is the NEET 2025 official qualifying cutoff for reference?
NTA officially released the NEET 2025 qualifying cutoff along with results on June 14, 2025. General/EWS: 144 marks (score range 686 to 144). OBC/SC/ST: 113 marks (score range 143 to 113). General PwD: 127 marks. OBC/SC/ST PwD: 113 marks. The NEET 2025 topper was Mahesh Kumar from Rajasthan with 686 out of 720.
