The NEET UG result date for 2027 is not announced, because NTA has not announced the exam. The NEET UG exam results of the last three cycles came 25 to 41 days after the exam. So the NEET UG 2027 result is expected only some weeks after the paper. This is a past pattern, not a 2027 date.

Is the NEET result date declared for 2027?

No. NTA has not announced NEET UG 2027 as of 20 October 2026. Its exam calendar notice of 16 September 2026 lists exams up to March 2027 and does not include NEET UG. So no NEET UG result date exists for 2027. The NEET UG result date will be known only after NTA fixes the exam date.

Is the re-NEET UG 2026 result out?

When will the NEET UG 2027 result come?

If NEET UG 2027 follows the first-Sunday-of-May pattern, the result would fall in June 2027. This is an expectation, not an NTA date.

The NEET UG scorecard carries your score for counselling, and NTA expresses it as a marks-based percentile. It is the main record of your NEET UG exam results. NTA has not published the 2027 scorecard format, so this section tells you what to check.

What should I check on the NEET UG scorecard?

Check your name, category and sub-category on the NEET UG exam results scorecard first. A wrong category changes the cutoff that applies to you. Then check your total marks out of 720 and your percentile. If your scorecard shows an All India Rank, note that too, because MCC uses it for seat allotment.

What if my NEET UG scorecard has a mistake?

Write to NTA through the helpline at once. For 2026, the numbers were 011-40759000 and 011-69227700. The email address was neetug2026@nta.ac.in. NTA may change these for 2027, so check neet.nta.nic.in. A wrong category must be fixed before counselling registration.

Your NEET UG score is out of 720. The percentile in your NEET UG exam results tells you how many candidates scored below you. In the simple form, take the candidates who scored less than you. Divide that by the candidates who appeared and multiply by 100. NTA's own method handles ties, so the last decimal on your scorecard can differ slightly.

How is percentile different from marks?

Marks show how well you did on the paper. Percentile shows how you did against everyone else. The qualifying cutoff is set as a percentile. It is the 50th for UR and EWS, and the 40th for SC, ST and OBC-NCL. The marks that match a percentile change every year, depending on the paper.

The same 50th percentile stood at 162 marks in 2024, 144 marks in 2025 and 213 marks in 2026. That shows why a percentile, not a fixed mark, decides qualification in the NEET UG exam results. See the NEET UG cutoff page for every band.

What is a worked example of NEET UG percentile?

Take the NEET UG result 2026 figures. A total of 19,99,895 candidates appeared. NTA reported that 10,160 candidates scored 600 or more. So 19,89,735 scored below 600. Divide by 19,99,895 and multiply by 100. The answer is about 99.49 percentile for a score of 600.

The table applies the same method to the five score bands NTA published. These are our calculations from NTA's figures, and they are approximate.

What rank does my NEET UG score give?

Your rank is close to the number of candidates who scored the same or more than you. In 2026, 10,160 candidates scored 600 or more. So a score of 600 gave a rank of about 10,000 or better. These are 2026 figures. The same score can give a different rank in 2027, because the paper and the number of candidates change.

Is 700 a good score in NEET?

Yes. Only 19 candidates scored above 700 in the NEET UG result 2026. That puts a 700 score in the top handful of the 19,99,895 who appeared. The highest score was 715 out of 720.

Is 487 a good NEET score?

It is above the qualifying cutoff, but it is below 500. In the NEET UG result 2026, 90,780 candidates scored 500 or more. So a score of 487 gives a rank beyond 90,780. A seat depends on your category, your quota and the state. Check the NEET UG colleges page for the seat picture.

How does NTA decide the All India Rank when two scores are equal?

NTA applies a fixed tie-break order, as per the NEET UG 2026 Information Bulletin. It checks these in turn. Subject marks matter here, as Biology carries 360 of the 720 marks.

1. Higher marks in Biology.
2. Higher marks in Chemistry.
3. Higher marks in Physics.
4. A lower proportion of incorrect to attempted answers, overall and then subject-wise.
5. A random method, if the tie is still not broken.
