NEET PG 2026 Result Declared: Check Rank, Score and Qualifying Cut-Off

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has declared the NEET PG 2026 result for candidates who appeared in the examination conducted for admission to MD, MS, DNB, DrNB (Direct 6-Year Courses) and PG Diploma programmes for the 2026–27 academic session. The official NEET-PG section of the NBEMS website provides access to the 2026 result.

According to the notice dated September 24, 2026, the result includes candidates who appeared in both the original examination and the re-examination conducted for affected candidates in Jaipur.

NEET PG 2026 Exam and Re-Examination

The NEET PG 2026 examination was conducted on August 30, 2026 across the country.

However, candidates scheduled at iON Digital Zone iDZ Sitapura, Jaipur (Test Centres 41682 and 41683) could not complete the examination because of an internal power failure. NBEMS subsequently conducted a re-examination for the affected candidates on September 5, 2026. The NBEMS notice board had earlier listed the re-examination-related notices for these centres.

Number of Candidates

Therefore, the declared result covers candidates from both examination dates.

NEET PG 2026 Result: What Does the Rank Mean?

The NEET PG 2026 Rank represents the candidate's overall merit position among candidates who appeared for the examination.

The rank has been calculated on the basis of the actual marks obtained in NEET PG 2026, along with the applicable tie-breaking criteria mentioned in the NEET PG 2026 Information Bulletin.

Candidates can check their raw score and NEET PG 2026 rank through the official NBEMS result portal.

NEET PG 2026 Qualifying Cut-Off

The qualifying percentile and corresponding score mentioned in the result notice are as follows:

This distinction is important because merely qualifying NEET PG does not guarantee admission to a preferred specialty or medical college. Admission will depend on the counselling process, category, seat availability, choice filling and applicable admission rules.

What Happens After NEET PG 2026 Result?

The next major stage for qualified candidates will be NEET PG counselling. Candidates will need to participate in the applicable counselling process and submit their preferred colleges and specialties during choice filling.

The counselling process is expected to consider factors such as:

• NEET PG 2026 rank
• Category and applicable reservation
• Available MD/MS/DNB/PG Diploma seats
• College and specialty preferences
• Seat matrix released for counselling
• Candidate eligibility and document verification
• Round-wise seat availability and upgrades

Candidates should therefore keep their NEET PG scorecard, rank details and academic documents ready for the counselling process.

Important Difference Between Qualifying Cut-Off and Admission Cut-Off

Candidates should not confuse the 262/244/226 qualifying scores with the actual admission cut-offs.

For example, a candidate scoring above the qualifying threshold may become eligible to participate in counselling, but the closing rank for a particular specialty such as Radiology, Dermatology, General Medicine or Orthopaedics can be significantly different depending on the college, category and counselling round.

Therefore, candidates should analyse previous-year closing ranks and the 2026 seat matrix before preparing their choice list.

Where to Check NEET PG 2026 Result?

The result is available through the official NBEMS website under the NEET PG 2026 section.

Candidates should download and preserve their result/score details for the upcoming counselling process.

Conclusion

The declaration of the NEET PG 2026 result on September 24, 2026 marks the beginning of the next phase of postgraduate medical admissions. With 2,63,544 candidates appearing on August 30 and 2,416 candidates appearing in the September 5 re-examination, candidates should now focus on their rank, specialty preferences, previous-year cut-offs and counselling strategy.

The qualifying scores are 262 for General/EWS, 244 for General PwBD and 226 for SC/ST/OBC categories including PwBD. The actual admission cut-offs, however, will vary by specialty, college, category and counselling round.
