What the NEET PG 2026 Scorecard Contains

• Candidate’s name, roll number / testing ID and photograph

• All India Rank and category rank
• Percentile score
• Qualifying status (qualified / not qualified) for the category
• Category declared in the application
• Instructions relating to counselling and retention of the scorecard

Does the Answer Key Come Before the Result?

Yes. In the NEET PG cycle the provisional answer key and response sheet are published first on the candidate login, followed by the result. In the 2025 cycle too, the key preceded the result, and the final key was published along with or before the result. This order gives candidates a chance to review their paper and raise any genuine discrepancy before the merit is frozen.

What Does a “Withheld” Result Mean?

• A withheld result usually means the candidate’s score has not been declared pending verification or an inquiry.
• It is not the same as being declared unsuccessful, and it does not necessarily mean disqualification.
• The reason and the remedy are communicated through an official notice, which must be read carefully.
• Candidates whose result is withheld should respond to the notice within the prescribed time with the documents or explanation sought.

How AIR, Percentile and the Merit List Are Prepared

1. Raw scores are calculated using the final answer key.
2. Scores from different shifts are placed on a common scale through the published normalisation formula.
3. The percentile of each candidate is computed from the normalised score.
4. Candidates are arranged in descending order of normalised score to prepare the All India Rank.
5. Ties are resolved as per the tie-breaking rule in the information bulletin.
6. Counselling eligibility is decided on the basis of rank, category and the qualifying percentile.

Counselling After the Result

• All India Quota (AIQ): counselling is conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee, with registration, choice filling and seat allotment rounds.
• State quota: each state conducts its own counselling for state seats, with its own registration and merit list.
• Documents: keep the scorecard, admit card, qualification certificates, internship completion certificate and category documents ready.
• Choice filling: prepare a realistic branch-and-college list in advance, based on the rank ladder rather than on the score alone.

Six-Point Checklist for Result Day

1. Log in on the day the result is declared and download the scorecard immediately.
2. Verify the name, roll number, category and score against your admit card.
3. Note your All India Rank and category rank, and your percentile.
4. Save the scorecard PDF in cloud storage and email a copy to yourself.
5. Cross-check the qualifying status for your category.
6. Start preparing documents and a choice list for counselling rather than waiting for the counselling notice.

Mistake or Mismatch on the Scorecard?

• Note the exact field that is wrong and the value shown against it.
• Report it to NBEMS in writing through the official channel mentioned in the notice, with a copy of the scorecard and your admit card.
• Do not wait for counselling registration — raise the issue as soon as it is noticed.
• Keep the acknowledgement, because a mismatch is usually resolved by reissuing the scorecard.
• For any change in category or PwBD status, act within the window allowed in the notice.
