Factors Affecting UP NEET PG Cutoff 2026

The UP NEET PG cutoff may vary each year due to several factors:

• Number of candidates: Higher competition can increase the cutoff.
• Exam difficulty: An easier paper may lead to higher scores and changing closing ranks.
• Seat availability: An increase or decrease in MD/MS seats directly affects cutoffs.
• Category reservation: Cutoffs vary for General, EWS, OBC, SC, ST and PwBD candidates.
• Qualifying percentile: Any reduction in the qualifying percentile can widen closing ranks in later rounds.
• Fees, bond and stipend: College costs, bond rules and stipend amounts influence candidate preferences.
• Counselling participation: The number of candidates participating in each round affects seat movement and final closing ranks.

How to Calculate NEET PG Cutoff 2026

The qualifying cutoff is based on percentile, not on a percentage of the total marks. This is a common mistake.

Step 1: Know the exam pattern. NEET PG 2026 has 180 questions and 720 marks.

Step 2: Know the qualifying percentile.

Category	Required Percentile
General / EWS	50th
General PwBD	45th
SC / ST / OBC	40th

Step 3: Understand how percentile works. Percentile shows the share of candidates who scored at or below you. The formula is:

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. That candidate’s marks become the General cutoff. For the 40th percentile, the marks of the candidate at rank 1,20,000 become the SC/ST/OBC cutoff.

Step 4: Remember that rank is decided by raw marks. Your All India Rank depends on your marks. Percentile is only used to check if you qualify.

Step 5: Compare previous year trends. The official cutoff changes each year based on competition and exam difficulty.

Previous Year NEET PG Cutoff Trends

The qualifying cutoff has changed from year to year and in several years it was reduced during counselling to fill seats:

Year	General / EWS	SC / ST / OBC	General PwBD	Total Marks
2026	262 (50th percentile)	226 (40th percentile)	244 (45th percentile)	720
2025	276 (50th percentile)	235 (40th percentile)	255 (45th percentile)	800
2024	50th percentile	40th percentile	45th percentile	800
2023	291 (50th percentile)	257 (40th percentile)	274 (45th percentile)	800
2022	275 (50th percentile)	245 (40th percentile)	260 (45th percentile)	800

How to Use the UP 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 the 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 UP state counselling, since the rules differ.
7. Fill and lock your choices carefully.
