The National Testing Agency announced the NEET UG 2026 results on Thursday. A total of 11.21 lakh candidates qualified for undergraduate medical, dental, AYUSH and related courses nationwide. The timing supports the ongoing medical admission and counselling timeline.
Candidates may access their scorecards via the official site neet.nta.nic.in. The agency also released All India Rank lists, state and category toppers, qualifying thresholds and language-wise data.
The top mark of 715 out of 720 was achieved jointly by one candidate from Punjab and one from Haryana. Nineteen candidates exceeded 700 marks, while 138 scored above 690. Further breakdowns show 1,492 candidates at 650 or higher, 10,160 at 600 or above, and 90,780 at 500 or more.
