Yes, the NEET UG 2026 exam will follow a negative marking system. Candidates will receive 4 marks for each correct answer, while 1 mark will be deducted for every incorrect response.
Can you believe the numbers? Can you guess what could be the volume of students applying for the coveted MBBS degree? All the candidates aspiring to pursue an MBBS have to appear and qualify for the very competitive National Eligibility cum Entrance Test- NEET exam. The road to qualifying for medical admission is a long and arduous one. So who is training NEET aspirants to pull through this competition? Where do they train for the exam? Like the JEE, NEET coaching is also extremely competitive and requires a lot of hard work.
Careers360 undertook an immersive study of NEET AIR toppers and their coaching institutes. Let’s take a look at some numbers and understand this mania of the medical profession in detail.
Our analysis shows that in just two years there has been an increase of almost 30 per cent in the number of students who registered for NEET UG. Out of the registered candidates only 53-55 per cent students qualify the test.

2023 | 20,87,462 | 20,24,390 | 11,45,976 |

Around 57.4 per cent students from Allen Career Institute; 63.64 per cent from Sri Chaitanya; 77.1 per cent from Narayana and almost all students from rest of the coaching institutes took classroom coaching. These numbers underline the fact that classroom coaching is the most favourite and most effective for students.

As per NEET UG data for 2022 and 2023, 43 - 44 per cent candidates were boys and the rest were girl candidates and just a handful of them are transgenders.

There is a clear indication that one module supersedes others – Classroom Coaching. Our research brought out the fact as to how much a student prepares to appear for the NEET. For the ease of analysis, we collected data on AIR top 100 of NEET for the year 2022. Since we could gather information of only the top 70 students, we compared these 70 top rankers out of which 54 students took just one type of coaching, which is either a classroom programme or a distance learning programme offered by coaching centres. As many as 16 top rankers opted to go for more than one coaching institute. The next 10 students took only help from distance education and 11 students took classroom as well as distance coaching to prepare for NEET UG.
