The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the NEET UG 2026 examination, which is the single entrance test for admission into MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, and other medical courses in India. The exam is expected to be held on June 21st 2026

After the exam, NTA releases the NEET qualifying cutoff, which is the minimum marks required to qualify for counselling. However, actual admission cutoffs vary based on college type, category, seat availability, and counselling rounds.

NEET UG 2026 Expected Cutoff (Overview)

The expected NEET UG 2026 cutoff is predicted based on previous year trends:

• General / EWS: 720 – 155 marks
• OBC / SC / ST: 154 – 125 marks
• PwD categories: Slightly lower based on category relaxation

👉 These are qualifying marks, not admission guarantee marks.

The NEET UG 2026 expected cutoff analysis shows that:

• General category students need around 155+ marks to qualify
• OBC/SC/ST require around 125+ marks
• For MBBS government colleges, much higher scores (600+) are required in AIQ counselling
