How to Use the NEET Rank Predictor 2026
Download the official NTA answer key from neet.nta.nic.in for your paper code (Code 11, 12, 13, or 14). Apply the marking scheme: +4 for every correct answer and -1 for every wrong answer. Formula: Score = (Correct × 4) − (Wrong × 1). The maximum score is 720.
Type Physics, Chemistry, and Biology scores separately (the tool auto-totals them) or enter your total directly. Subject-wise entry is recommended as Biology marks are used in NTA's official tie-breaking sequence.
Choose General/EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, or PwD. Your category affects your qualifying cutoff, category rank calculation, and effective AIR cutoff for each college tier during counselling.
Choose Tough (like NEET 2025), Average (blend of 2024 and 2025), or Easy (like NEET 2024). The same 600 marks gave AIR 1,386 in the tough 2025 paper and AIR 30,200 in the easy 2024 paper. Use Average if unsure.
You will see your estimated AIR range, percentile to four decimal places, category rank, qualifying status, college tier admission chances, and a five-year historical rank comparison for the same score.

How is the NEET Rank Calculated?
NTA ranks candidates solely on raw marks out of 720. There is no normalisation. Unlike JEE Main, NEET is a single-day, single-session exam where your raw score is the sole factor determining your rank.
Marking Scheme
Tie-Breaking Rules (NTA Official Sequence)
| Priority | Criterion |
|---|---|
| 1st | Higher Biology marks (Botany + Zoology) — most common differentiator as Biology is worth 360 of 720 marks |
| 2nd | Higher Chemistry marks — decides the tie if Biology marks are equal |
| 3rd | Fewer wrong answers across all subjects — lower ratio of incorrect to attempted answers wins |
| 4th | Older candidate (by date of birth) — if all above are equal, the older candidate gets the better rank |
Category Rank
| Category | Pool Share | Reservation Type |
|---|---|---|
| General / EWS | 50% | Open merit + EWS quota |
| OBC-NCL | 27% | Horizontal reservation in AIQ |
| SC | 15% | Horizontal reservation in AIQ |
| ST | 7.5% | Horizontal reservation in AIQ |
| PwD | 5% | Horizontal across all categories |
