NEET-UG 2026 exam results declared; 11.21 lakh candidates qualify for medical admissions
The National Testing Agency has released the results for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination, with over 11 lakh candidates qualifying for medical admissions. The re-test was conducted following the cancellation of the original May exam due to paper leak allegations.
Why it matters
The NEET-UG is a critical gateway for medical education in India, and the successful conduct of the re-exam is vital for maintaining the integrity of the national admission process.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Thursday (July 16, 2026) announced the result of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2026 re-examination held on July 16, with 11.21 lakh candidates qualifying for medical admissions.
Eligible candidates can access and download their respective results from the official website at neet.nta.nic.in. The NTA also published the lists of All India Rank holders, state toppers, category-wise toppers, qualifying cut-offs and language-wise participation.
The NEET-UG, originally held on May 3, was cancelled on May 12 after allegations of a question paper leak.
“The result has been declared in time so that the medical-admission and counselling calendar for candidates stays on track,” the NTA said in a post on X.
