How to Calculate Your NEET 2026 Score
NEET 2026 Score Formula
Score = (Correct × 4) − (Wrong × 1)
Unattempted questions = 0 marks (no negative marking)
NEET 2026 Marking Scheme
| Answer Type | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct Answer | +4 marks |
| Wrong Answer | −1 mark |
| Unattempted | 0 marks |
Example Calculation
Suppose you attempted 160 questions out of 200:
- Correct: 130 → 130 × 4 = 520 marks
- Wrong: 30 → 30 × 1 = 30 marks deducted
- Unattempted: 40 → 0 marks
- Expected Score = 520 − 30 = 490 / 720
Total Questions Breakdown
- Physics: 50 questions (45 to attempt) — Max 180 marks
- Chemistry: 50 questions (45 to attempt) — Max 180 marks
- Biology (Botany + Zoology): 100 questions (90 to attempt) — Max 360 marks
- Total Maximum Score: 720 marks
NEET 2026 Qualifying Marks
- General Category: 50th percentile (~130–150 marks, varies by year)
- SC / ST / OBC: 40th percentile (~110–130 marks)

What to Do After Checking Your Score?
Check if You've Cleared the Qualifying Percentile
Confirm your score meets the NMC minimum qualifying percentile for your category.
