    Score vs Rank analysis is dependent on the two factors: number of candidates appeared for the examination (if the number of candidates who have appeared for the examination increases the cutoff also increases) and the difficulty level of the paper (if the difficulty level of the paper decreases, the cutoff increases).

    On the basis of the available score vs rank data, we will determine the NEET 2026 rank.

    • 700 score in NEET provided 97 rank in NEET 2022, and the same score provided 347 rank in NEET 2023, and 1,626 rank in NEET 2024.

    • The rank for the same score varies over the years, depending on the number of candidates and exam difficulty level.

    • Similarly, securing around 680 marks in 2022 provided a rank of 912, and the same score provided a rank of 1,742 in 2023, and a rank of 7,842 in 2024. The predicted NEET 2026 rank for this score is approximately 50th rank.

    • Securing around 650 marks in 2022 provided a rank of 4677, and the same score provided a rank of 7288 in 2023, a rank of 27368 in 2024, and a rank of 71 in 2025. The predicted NEET 2026 rank for this score is approximately 1000.

    • Securing around 600 marks in 2022 provided a rank of 21162, and the same score provided a rank of 29,348.00 in 2023, a rank of 77972 in 2024, and a rank of 1392 in 2025. The predicted NEET 2026 rank for this score is approximately 10,000.
