NEET (UG) 2026 Results Declared: 11.21 Lakh Candidates Qualify Following Successful Re-Examination

The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the results of the NEET (UG) 2026 examination today, confirming that 11.21 lakh candidates have qualified for admission to undergraduate medical, dental, AYUSH, and allied programmes. The release of these results follows the successful re-conduct of the examination on 21 June 2026, which was necessitated by earlier concerns regarding examination integrity. Despite the logistical complexities of the re-examination, the NTA maintained the admission calendar by re-engineering its internal processes to ensure a timely result declaration.

Top Performers and Statistical Highlights

• Aryan Gupta from Punjab and Panshul Bansal from Haryana jointly achieved the highest score, securing 715 out of 720 marks.

• A total of 19 candidates scored above 700, while 1,492 candidates secured 650 marks or higher.

• Close to 20 lakh candidates appeared for the examination across 5,440 centres in 551 Indian cities and 14 international locations.

• Women demonstrated significant success, accounting for more than 58 per cent of all qualified candidates.

• The qualification rate for women was 56.8 per cent, compared to 55.1 per cent for men.

Qualified candidates emerged from every one of the 36 States and Union Territories, ranging from large states like Uttar Pradesh to smaller regions like Lakshadweep.

Advisory for Counselling and Admission

Candidates may now view their scorecards on the official website, neet.nta.nic.in. The NTA has clarified that its mandate is limited to conducting the examination and issuing the All-India Rank, while the processes of merit listing, domicile determination, and counselling remain the responsibility of the respective State and national admitting authorities.

In response to the interest surrounding the results, the NTA has issued a strict advisory warning candidates against fraudulent calls, messages, or websites that claim to offer seat blocking, admission assistance, or score improvements. Aspirants are urged to rely exclusively on official portals, such as mcc.nic.in for All-India Quota counselling, and to report any suspicious communication directly to the NTA.
