    What is the Re NEET 2026 Safe Score?

    The Re NEET 2026 safe score is the estimated marks range that can improve a candidate's chances of getting admission to MBBS, BDS, and other medical courses through the counselling process. For SC and ST candidates, the expected safe score is generally lower than that of the General and OBC categories because of the reservation policy.

    Candidates should remember that the NEET qualifying cutoff only makes them eligible for counselling, while a safe score increases the possibility of securing a government medical college seat. However, the safe score is only an estimate based on previous years' admission trends and does not guarantee admission.
