The wait is finally over — the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), New Delhi, has declared the NEET-PG 2026 result. The official notice came out on 24 September 2026, and candidates can now log in to check their raw scores and NEET-PG 2026 rank on the NBEMS website, https://natboard.edu.in.
For those unfamiliar with it, NEET-PG is the entrance exam that decides admission to postgraduate medical courses across the country. Clearing it opens the door to MD, MS, DNB, DrNB (Direct 6 Years) courses and PG Medical Diploma courses for the 2026-27 admission session.
The Exam Was Held on 30 August, With a Small Twist
NEET-PG 2026 was conducted nationwide on 30 August 2026, with candidates appearing at exam centres across the country.
But not everything went smoothly everywhere. At one centre in Jaipur — iON Digital Zone (iDZ) Sitapura, to be exact — an internal power failure meant some candidates couldn't finish their paper. The affected test centre codes were 41682 and 41683.
To make sure these candidates weren't left out, NBEMS held a re-examination for them on 5 September 2026, also in Jaipur.
How Many Candidates Appeared
- 2,63,544 candidates took the exam on 30 August 2026
- 2,416 candidates appeared in the re-exam on 5 September 2026
That's well over two and a half lakh aspiring doctors whose future now hinges on this result.
What Exactly Is a NEET-PG Rank?
Your NEET-PG 2026 rank simply tells you where you stand compared to every other candidate who took the exam. NBEMS arrives at this rank using your actual marks, and where scores are tied, the tie-breaking rules laid out in the NEET-PG 2026 information bulletin come into play.
It's worth taking a moment to go through your score and rank carefully once the result is up.
Cut-Off Scores, Category by Category
NBEMS has also released the minimum qualifying cut-offs for each category. Here's how they break down (out of 720):
- General/EWS: 50th percentile — 262 marks
- General PwBD: 45th percentile — 244 marks
- SC/ST/OBC (including PwBD candidates from these categories): 40th percentile — 226 marks
What Should You Do Next?
Stick to the official NBEMS website for your result — steer clear of random links or unverified sources doing the rounds online. Once you've checked your score, download and save a copy for your records; you'll need it later.
If you've qualified, the next big thing to watch out for is the counselling process. Keep an eye on official announcements, because that's the next real step toward securing your seat in a PG medical course.
