Question 1

What is the NEET qualifying cutoff for each category in 2026?

Accepted Answer

General and EWS qualify at the 50th percentile (715–213 marks); OBC, SC and ST qualify at the 40th percentile (212–177 marks). Qualifying only makes you eligible for counselling — actual MBBS admission depends on your All-India-Quota closing rank, which is lower (harder) for General/EWS and more relaxed for OBC/SC/ST. Open your category below for the college-wise ranks.

Question 2

Is the NEET cutoff lower for reserved categories?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under the 15% All India Quota, OBC/SC/ST closing ranks are higher (easier) than General at the same government college, so reserved-category candidates can secure better colleges at the same rank. EWS follows the General qualifying line but has its own 10% quota ranks.
