NEET UG 2026 Qualifying Percentile: Has the Cutoff Changed?

No. According to MCC's advisory, the competent authority has not approved any reduction in the NEET UG 2026 qualifying percentile. Candidates should not assume that a lower percentile or new admission opportunity has been announced because of the viral notice.

Candidates should refer to official NEET UG information and counselling notices for applicable qualifying criteria and admission rules. Any future change must be confirmed through an official notification.
