Candidates have to follow the steps given below to check the NEET 2021 result:

  • Visit the official website of NEET, i.e. www.neet.nta.nic.in

  • Click on the tab indicating NEET 2021 result

  • Login with NEET 2021 application number and password or date of birth

  • Download NEET 2021 scorecard in PDF format

What Information Will NEET 2021 Result Carry

  • Candidate's name

  • Candidate’s roll number

  • Category

  • Application number

  • Overall score

  • Subject-wise score

  • Percentile score

  • All India Rank

  • Qualifying status

  • NEET AIR for 15 per cent AIQ seats

  • NEET cut off score

How is NEET 2021 Percentile Calculated

The NEET 2021 percentile will be calculated based on the following formula:

NEET Percentile = 100 x Number of candidates with their raw score equal to/ less than the candidate

                                                       Total number of candidates who appeared for NEET

NEET 2021 Tie-Breaking Procedure

In case more than one candidate secures the same rank in NEET 2021, the following steps will be followed to implement the tie-breaking method:

  • Candidate with higher marks in Biology is assigned a higher rank compared to others

  • If the marks scored in the Biology section are equal, a candidate with higher marks in Chemistry is assigned a higher rank compared to others

  • If marks scored in Biology and Chemistry are equal, a candidate with a lesser number of incorrect answers is assigned a higher rank

It may be noted that till last year, in the tie-breaking procedure, the candidate with older age was given the higher rank. However, from this year onwards, the age factor has been removed from the NEET 2021 tie-breaking procedure.

NEET 2021 Result – Types of Merit Lists

The NEET 2021 merit lists can be classified into the following types:

Overall merit list: This merit list includes the names and ranks of all the candidates who would appear for NEET 2021. This is the first merit list and is prepared by NTA. This merit list will be forwarded to all counselling bodies, both national and state.

15 per cent AIQ merit list: This merit list will contain the names of only those candidates who would qualify in the NEET 2021 result. This merit list is prepared by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).

State quota merit list: Every state will prepare their individual merit lists for admissions to 85 per cent of state quota seats. These merit lists will include only those candidates who will qualify for NEET result 2021 and register for the counselling of that respective state.

What After NEET 2021 Result Declaration

After the declaration of the NEET 2021 result, candidates have to be prepared to participate in the NEET 2021 counselling rounds. Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will conduct state-wise NEET 2021 counselling tentatively in the fourth week of October to November for MBBS and BDS courses.

Candidates need to be updated with the counselling schedule so that they do not miss the registration, document submission and verification schedules. Based on the candidates’ ranks, scores and the institutes’ cutoff, seats would be allotted. They need to pay the admission fee within the deadline to confirm their admission to the medical college of their choice.
