Re-NEET 2026 Expected Cut-Off for MBBS, BDS, BAMS and Government Medical Colleges: More than 22.79 lakh candidates appeared for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination held on June 21 and are now eagerly awaiting the release of the provisional answer key and expected cut-off marks. While the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not yet announced the official results, coaching experts have started estimating the category-wise cut-offs based on this year’s exam difficulty, previous years’ trends, and the overall number of candidates.
NEET-UG cut-offs differ across categories and are influenced by several factors, including the total number of candidates, the availability of seats, and the overall performance of students in the examination. For the general category, a score above 700 is typically considered competitive for admission to government medical colleges, while the expected cut-off is generally lower for candidates from reserved categories.
Here’s What Experts Predict for the Expected Cut-Off
| Category | Aakash Institute | Motion Education |
| General / UR | 130 – 150 | 144 – 148 |
| EWS | 135 – 720 | — |
| OBC | 110 –125 | 113 – 143 |
| SC | 110 –125 | 113 – 143 |
| ST | 110 –125 | 113 – 143 |
These figures are only estimates based on previous years’ trends and an analysis of this year’s question paper. The official cut-off will be announced by the National Testing Agency (NTA) along with the results. Candidates should use these projections as a general guide rather than consider them the final cut-off.
It is important to note that meeting the qualifying cut-off is only the first step in the admission process. Securing a seat in a government medical college requires a significantly higher score, which varies depending on the state, institution, and candidate category. While candidates who clear the qualifying cut-off become eligible to participate in the counselling process, final seat allotment is based on merit rank and the availability of seats within each category.
Candidates are advised to regularly visit the official National Testing Agency (NTA) website and the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) website for the latest updates on results, cut-offs, counselling schedules, and the admission process.
