NBEMS has made results available on two official platforms: natboard.edu.in and nbe.edu.in. Both portals host the same information, so you can use whichever is more accessible to you. The result portal contains two key documents: your individual scorecard (personalised to your performance) and the overall merit list PDF (showing all candidates' ranks and scores by category).
To retrieve your result, log into the candidate portal using your registration ID (or application number) and the password you created during registration. If you have forgotten your password, use the 'Forgot Password' option on the login page to reset it via your registered email or mobile number. Once logged in, your scorecard will display your total marks, percentile score, category-wise rank, and qualifying status—all essential information for counselling eligibility.
Understanding NEET PG Qualifying Cutoff Percentiles by Category
NBEMS has set category-specific qualifying percentiles that you must achieve to be eligible for counselling. For General (UR) candidates, the qualifying percentile is 50th; for SC, ST, and OBC candidates, it is 40th; and for UR-PwD (Persons with Disability) candidates, it is 45th. These percentiles are not fixed marks but rather your position relative to all test-takers—a 50th percentile for General means you scored better than or equal to 50% of all General category candidates.
Your individual scorecard will clearly state whether you have achieved the qualifying percentile for your category and your qualifying status (Qualified or Not Qualified). If you have qualified, you are eligible to participate in All India Quota counselling and state-level counselling rounds. If you have not qualified, you will not be able to register for counselling, regardless of your absolute marks. It is crucial to check this status immediately after downloading your result.
- General (UR): 50th percentile
- SC/ST/OBC: 40th percentile
- UR-PwD: 45th percentile

What Information Is Included in Your NEET PG Scorecard
Your individual scorecard is a comprehensive document that contains all details required for counselling registration and seat allocation. It includes your name, roll number, application ID, category and sub-category, date of birth, gender, total marks obtained (out of 300), your percentile score, the qualifying cutoff percentile for your category, and your qualifying status. This scorecard serves as official proof of your performance and must be retained for the entire admission process.
Additionally, the scorecard displays your All India Rank (AIR) within your category, which determines your priority in seat allocation during counselling. A lower AIR indicates a higher rank and better chances of securing your preferred specialty and college. Download and print multiple copies of your scorecard immediately—you will need it for counselling registration, document verification at colleges, and future reference during your postgraduate course.

- All India Rank (AIR) in your category
Downloading and Storing Your Merit List and Scorecard
After logging in and viewing your scorecard on the portal, you must download the PDF version to your device. Click the 'Download' or 'Print' button (usually located at the top or bottom of the scorecard page) to save the file. Store this PDF in a secure location—your computer, cloud storage, or email—so you can access it even if the portal becomes temporarily unavailable. Print at least two physical copies: one for your records and one to carry during counselling and college visits.
The overall merit list PDF, which shows all qualified candidates ranked by their AIR within each category, is also available for download from the result notification page. This list helps you understand the competition in your category and estimate your chances of securing specific specialties based on historical cutoff data. However, your individual scorecard is the official document you will need for all admission-related purposes.
Next Steps After Checking Your NEET PG Result
Once you have confirmed your qualifying status, the immediate next step is to prepare for counselling registration. NBEMS will announce the counselling schedule, which typically includes registration, choice filling, and seat allocation rounds. Mark these dates on your calendar and ensure you have all required documents ready: your scorecard, MBBS degree certificate, category certificate (if applicable), PwD certificate (if applicable), and identity proof.

If you have qualified, begin researching colleges and specialties based on your AIR and historical cutoff data. Consult previous years' opening and closing ranks for your preferred specialties to gauge your realistic chances. If you have not qualified, understand that you cannot participate in this counselling cycle. However, you may consider retaking NEET PG in the next year or exploring alternative pathways such as DNB (Diplomate of National Board) programs, which have separate entrance exams and admission processes.
Troubleshooting: What If You Cannot Access Your Result
If you encounter difficulties logging into the portal, first verify that you are using the correct registration ID (or application number) and password. Passwords are case-sensitive, so ensure Caps Lock is off. If you have forgotten your password, use the 'Forgot Password' link to reset it. You will receive a password reset link via your registered email address; check your spam or junk folder if you do not see it in your inbox.
If the portal is slow or unresponsive, try accessing it during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening) when server traffic is lower. Clear your browser cache and cookies, or try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). If you continue to face issues, contact NBEMS support through the official website or email. Do not share your login credentials with anyone, and be cautious of phishing emails claiming to be from NBEMS—always access the portal directly via the official URL.
How NEET PG Results Affect Your MD, MS, and PG Diploma Admission
Your NEET PG result is the sole criterion for admission to MD, MS, and PG Diploma programs in India's government and private medical colleges. Your AIR determines your position in the merit list for seat allocation during counselling. Seats are filled in order of merit—the candidate with AIR 1 in a category gets first choice of specialty and college, followed by AIR 2, and so on. Your percentile and qualifying status determine whether you are eligible to participate at all.
The counselling process typically occurs in multiple rounds: All India Quota (AIQ) counselling for 15% of seats in government colleges, followed by state-level counselling for the remaining 85% of seats. Your AIR is used in both rounds. Understanding your rank relative to the number of available seats in your preferred specialty helps you make informed choices during counselling. For example, if there are 50 MD General Surgery seats in AIQ and your AIR is 45, you are likely to secure a seat in that specialty.
Important Dates and Deadlines to Remember
While the result has been declared, the counselling schedule is the next critical timeline. NBEMS will announce the counselling registration start and end dates, choice-filling window, and seat allocation dates. These dates are typically announced within a few days of result declaration. Missing any deadline can result in forfeiture of your seat or exclusion from that counselling round, so set reminders and monitor the official website regularly.
Additionally, after seat allocation, you will have a limited window to report to your allotted college for document verification and admission formalities. Delays in reporting can lead to cancellation of your seat and its allocation to the next candidate in the merit list. Plan your travel and document submission well in advance to avoid last-minute complications.

How do I check my NEET PG 2026 result online?
Visit natboard.edu.in or nbe.edu.in, click on the NEET PG result link, and log in using your registration ID (or application number) and password. Your individual scorecard will display your marks, percentile, All India Rank, and qualifying status. Download and save the PDF for future reference.
What is the qualifying percentile for NEET PG 2026, and how does it differ by category?
The qualifying percentiles are: General (UR) candidates must achieve 50th percentile, SC/ST/OBC candidates must achieve 40th percentile, and UR-PwD candidates must achieve 45th percentile. These are relative scores based on your performance compared to all candidates in your category, not fixed marks.
What does 'All India Rank' (AIR) mean, and how does it affect my counselling chances?
Your AIR is your position in the merit list within your category. A lower AIR (e.g., AIR 10) means you ranked higher than a candidate with AIR 100. During counselling, seats are allocated in order of AIR—candidates with lower AIRs get priority in choosing their specialty and college. Your AIR directly determines your chances of securing your preferred specialty and institution.
I have not qualified according to my scorecard. Can I still participate in counselling?
No. If your scorecard shows 'Not Qualified,' you have not achieved the qualifying percentile for your category and are ineligible for counselling in this cycle. You cannot register for or participate in any counselling round. You may consider retaking NEET PG next year or exploring alternative pathways such as DNB programs.
What documents do I need to download and keep after checking my result?
Download and print your individual scorecard (which shows your marks, percentile, AIR, and qualifying status) and the overall merit list PDF. Keep multiple copies—digital and printed—of your scorecard. You will need the original scorecard for counselling registration, document verification at colleges, and admission formalities.
When will counselling begin, and what should I do now that my result is out?
NBEMS will announce the counselling schedule (registration dates, choice-filling window, and seat allocation dates) shortly after result declaration. Begin researching colleges and specialties based on your AIR and historical cutoff data. Gather all required documents (degree certificate, category certificate if applicable, identity proof) and prepare for counselling registration.
I forgot my password. How can I reset it to access my result?
Click the 'Forgot Password' link on the login page. You will receive a password reset link via your registered email address. Check your spam or junk folder if you do not see it immediately. Follow the link to create a new password and log in to access your scorecard.
Can I use my NEET PG result for admission to super-speciality programs like DM or M.Ch?
No. NEET PG results are used only for admission to MD, MS, and PG Diploma programs. Super-speciality programs (DM, M.Ch, DrNB) require a separate entrance exam called NEET-SS, which you can take after completing your MD or MS and gaining the required experience.
Your NEET PG 2026 result is now available—download your scorecard immediately and verify your qualifying status. If you have qualified, begin preparing for counselling by researching colleges and specialties; if you have not qualified, explore alternative pathways or plan to retake the exam next year. Stay alert for counselling schedule announcements and ensure you meet all deadlines.
