On January 13, 2026, a notice was released by NBEMS regarding the reduction in NEET PG qualifying cutoff percentile 2025-26. After the reduction of cutoff candidates with zero percentile were also eligible for admission.

Advocate Satyam Singh Rajput filed a plea in SC challenging the NBEMS NEET PG cutoff reduction notice. He mentioned that lowering the cutoff standards to zero or even negative percentile after the announcement of  result and completion of two rounds of NEET PG counselling is arbitrary and unconstitutional, and it violates Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution.
