    If two or more candidates secure the same score in NEET UG 2026, the National Testing Agency (NTA) will apply the following tie-breaking rules to determine the All India Rank (AIR):

    • Higher biology marks: Candidates with higher marks in biology (botany and zoology combined) will be ranked higher.
    • Higher chemistry marks: If the tie remains, preference will be given to the candidate with higher marks in chemistry.
    • Higher physics marks: If required, candidates scoring higher in physics will be placed ahead.
    • Fewer incorrect answers overall: If the tie still persists, the candidate with the lower number of incorrect answers across the entire paper will receive the better rank.
    • Fewer incorrect answers in subjects: If the tie is unresolved, preference will be given to candidates with fewer incorrect answers in biology, followed by chemistry, and then physics.
    • Random process: If all the above criteria fail to break the tie, the final ranking will be decided through a random selection process conducted under the supervision of an independent expert committee.

    Factors Affecting NEET Cutoff 2026 Expected For Government Colleges

    The NEET 2026 expected cutoff for government medical colleges will depend on many important factors. For General category students, experts believe a safe score for getting a government MBBS seat may be around 610-650+ marks.

    • Difficulty Level of NEET 2026 Exam: One major factor is the difficulty level of the NEET exam. If the paper is tough, especially in subjects like Physics, the cutoff may go lower. However, if the paper is easy, especially Biology, the cutoff is likely to increase.

    • Number of NEET 2026 Candidates: The number of students appearing for the exam also affects the cutoff. Around 22.05 lakh students appeared for the NEET 2026 exam, which means competition will remain very high.

    • Total Available Seats: The total number of seats also plays an important role. If there are more seats available for admission, cutoff will go low, however if limited seats remain available, the cutoff will be pushed upwards.

    • Reservation Policy: Cutoffs are different for each category because of reservation rules. SC, ST, OBC, and EWS category students usually have lower cutoff marks compared to General category students.

    • AIQ vs State Quota: The cutoff also changes between All India Quota (AIQ) and State Quota seats. Under the 15% AIQ, General category students may need 630+ marks. In state quota counselling, cutoffs vary from state to state. States like Delhi, Rajasthan, and Kerala usually have higher cutoffs because of stronger competition.
