There is no separate qualifying cutoff for Telangana. Candidates must meet the NEET PG 2026 qualifying cutoff prescribed by NBEMS to become eligible for counselling:

Category	Qualifying Percentile	Cutoff Score (Out of 720)
General / EWS	50th Percentile	262

SC / ST / OBC, including PwBD	40th Percentile	226

A qualifying score only makes you eligible. The seat depends on your All India Rank and the closing ranks below.

Qualifying Cutoff vs Admission Cutoff

• Qualifying cutoff: the minimum percentile set by NBEMS, the same across India, declared with the result.
• Admission cutoff: the last rank at which a branch was allotted in a college and category in Telangana. It changes every year with seats, competition and choices filled.
• Opening and closing rank: the opening rank is the best rank allotted in a branch and the closing rank is the last. Use the closing rank to judge your chances.

Factors Affecting Telangana NEET PG Cutoff 2026

• Number of candidates: Higher competition can push closing ranks.
• Exam difficulty: An easier paper changes the score and rank distribution.
• Seat availability: More MD/MS seats directly widen the closing ranks.
• Category reservation: Cutoffs vary for OPEN, BC-A to BC-E, SC, ST and Minority, and for Gen and Female sub-categories.
• Local, non-local and service status: Quotas have separate cutoffs.
• Fees, bond and stipend: See state-wise bond for NEET PG and state-wise stipend.
• Counselling participation: The number of candidates in each round affects seat movement.

How to Calculate NEET PG Cutoff 2026

The qualifying cutoff is based on percentile, not on a percentage of total marks.

1. Know the exam pattern: NEET PG 2026 has 180 questions and 720 marks.
2. Know the qualifying percentile: 50th for General/EWS, 45th for General PwBD and 40th for SC/ST/OBC.
3. Understand percentile: it shows the share of candidates who scored at or below you.
4. Remember that rank is decided by raw marks: percentile is only used to check if you qualify.

Percentile = (Total candidates − Your rank) ÷ Total candidates × 100

For example, if 2,00,000 candidates appear (a made-up number for explanation), the candidate at rank 1,00,000 sits at the 50th percentile, and that candidate’s marks become the General cutoff.

How to Use the Telangana NEET PG Cutoff

1. Note your All India Rank and category. Rank matters more than marks.
2. Shortlist 8 to 10 branches you would genuinely accept.
3. Match your rank with the government and private tables above and mark each option as safe, possible or a stretch.
4. Check a quick estimate with the NEET PG college predictor and branch predictor.
5. Compare the full cost of private seats: fee, stipend and bond.
6. Prepare two lists: one for MCC and one for Telangana state counselling, since the rules differ.
7. Fill and lock your choices carefully.
