NEET UG 2026Information Bulletin

NEET UG is the common national entrance and qualifying examination used for admission to MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BUMS, BSMS and BHMS courses under the applicable laws and regulations. NTA conducts the test; the relevant regulators and counselling authorities control eligibility, quotas, counselling and admission.

The test covers Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany and Zoology) from the official NMC-notified syllabus. The uploaded bulletin specifies a pen-and-paper OMR examination of 180 compulsory MCQs in 180 minutes.

A candidate must complete 17 years on or before 31 December 2026. The bulletin states no upper age limit. Eligibility also depends on the recognized qualifying examination, the required Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English subjects, and correct qualifying-code selection.

NTA supplies the result and All India Rank. Seat allotment happens only through the competent counselling authority. Students often need separate registrations for MCC, AACCC or State routes and must follow each authority's rules.

• General/General-EWS candidates ordinarily need the 50th percentile; SC/ST/OBC-NCL candidates the 40th percentile; specified PwBD categories follow the applicable percentile rules.
• The All India Rank and merit list are prepared under the regulatory criteria; counselling authorities use the rank to prepare route-specific merit/allotment results.
• Tie-breaking follows the sequence notified in Chapter 8. Students should rely on the published score card and current NTA notice rather than informal calculations.
• A qualifying percentile only makes a candidate eligible for the next stage. It does not itself create a seat entitlement.

• NEET UG 2026 is the common entrance route for BAMS, BSMS, BUMS and BHMS admissions covered by the bulletin.
• AACCC conducts counselling for notified All India Quota AYUSH seats; State authorities handle seats within their jurisdiction.
• Eligibility, qualifying percentile, reservation and document rules follow NCISM/NCH and the applicable counselling authority.
• Candidates must register separately for the relevant counselling route and follow its choice-filling, allotment and reporting schedule.
• NTA conducts the test and supplies the result; it does not allot AYUSH seats or verify admission documents.

The official syllabus is notified by NMC and reproduced/referenced through the NTA bulletin. The visible topic map below helps students and search systems understand the subject coverage; it is a summary, not a replacement for the official syllabus.

This crawlable State/UT directory helps students locate the relevant authority. Counselling URLs, annual portals and committee names can change, so verify the current notice before paying or uploading documents.

Appendix VI provides the embassy-certificate format for an NRI claim; Appendix VII lists documentary proof of citizenship/nationality for foreign and OCI candidates. Counselling authorities may ask for additional relationship, sponsorship, residence, equivalence or visa documents.
