Frequently Asked Questions
All India Rank (AIR) is the overall rank among all NEET 2026 candidates regardless of category. Category Rank is the rank within a specific category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD). The Category Rank is used for state quota and reserved category seat allotment. Both ranks are printed on the NEET scorecard. AIQ counselling uses AIR for General seats and Category Rank for reserved seats.
The NEET UG 2026 qualifying cutoff percentile is: General (UR) — 50th Percentile, General-PwBD — 45th Percentile, SC/ST/OBC-NCL — 40th Percentile, SC/ST/OBC-NCL PwBD — 40th Percentile. These percentile requirements remain fixed every year. However, the actual marks corresponding to these percentiles vary each year based on difficulty level and number of candidates.
