Your next steps in the NEET UG process

1. Download and verify scorecard — Download your scorecard from neet.nta.nic.in immediately. Verify all personal details, subject-wise scores, and total marks for accuracy.
2. Register for NEET UG counselling — Qualified candidates must register for MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) counselling for AIQ seats. State counselling registration may also be required for state quota seats. Registration typically opens within 1-2 weeks of results.
3. Arrange required documents — Keep ready: NEET scorecard, Class 10 & 12 marksheets and certificates, category/EWS/PwD certificates if applicable, domicile certificate for state quota, passport-size photos, and valid ID proof.
4. Prepare college preference list — Research MBBS/BDS/AYUSH colleges based on your score and previous year cutoffs. Prepare a strategic preference list considering location, fees, and seat availability before choice filling begins.
5. For non-qualified candidates — Consider alternative career paths in allied health sciences, or begin preparation for NEET UG 2027. Analyze your scorecard to identify weak areas for focused improvement.
