The Assam NEET PG 2026 rank list provides specific details for each candidate, including their roll number, name, gender, category, NEET PG 2026 score, NEET PG 2026 rank, state in permanent address, and MBBS state.

Candidates who are allotted a seat must report to the designated institute within the specified timeline to complete their admission formalities.

NEET PG 2026 Examination and Qualifying Scores

The NEET PG 2026 examination, conducted by NBEMS, comprised 200 questions for a total of 720 marks, with a duration of 3.5 hours. A negative marking scheme of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer was applied. The minimum qualifying scores for different categories were declared by NBEMS.

For the General/EWS category, the minimum qualifying score was 262 out of 720, corresponding to the 50th percentile. Candidates in the SC/ST/OBC categories required a minimum score of 226, which is the 40th percentile.

National and State-Level Counselling Processes

Counselling for 50% All India Quota (AIQ), deemed, central, ESIC, and AFMS seats is conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). The remaining 50% state quota seats are allotted by respective state authorities through their own portals. The MCC’s AIQ counselling typically involves four rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, and a Stray Vacancy Round.

Rules for joining and security deposits vary across counselling rounds. In Round 1, a free exit is available, and no security deposit is forfeited for not joining. However, from Round 2 onwards, not joining an allotted seat results in the forfeiture of the security deposit. The MCC counselling schedule for NEET PG 2026 has not yet been announced.
