The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Thursday declared the results of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET-UG, with 11.21 lakh candidates qualifying for admission to undergraduate medical courses across the country.
According to the NTA, 19 candidates scored 700 out of 720 marks, while 1,492 candidates secured more than 650 marks in the highly competitive entrance examination.
Aryan Gupta of Punjab and Panshul Bansal of Haryana emerged as the joint toppers, scoring 715 out of 720 marks, the NTA said.
Earlier in the day, the NTA released the final answer keys for the NEET UG 2026 re-exam held on June 21.
Nearly 20 lakh candidates appeared for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination on June 21 at 5,440 centres across 551 cities in India and 14 overseas cities. The re-test was held after the May 3 examination for more than 20 lakh students was cancelled over allegations of a paper leak.
NEET-UG is the country's largest undergraduate medical entrance examination and serves as the gateway for admission to MBBS, BDS and other undergraduate medical programmes in government and private institutions across India.
