NEET-UG 2027 — Complete Guide: Eligibility, Dates, Pattern, Reservation & Counselling

Important — Read Before You Rely On Any Dateमहत्त्वाचे — कोणतीही तारीख गृहीत धरण्याआधी वाचा

As of 10 September 2026, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not yet released the official NEET (UG) 2027 Information Bulletin. Every date, fee figure and rule on this page that is not explicitly marked "Officially Confirmed for 2027" is either (a) the latest official information, taken from the official "Information Bulletin NEET (UG)-2026", or (b) a widely expected/tentative estimate based on NTA's past release pattern — never an official 2027 figure. Several 2026 dates (city intimation, admit card release, display of responses/answer keys, result date) were themselves left "to be announced later on the website" even in the 2026 Bulletin. Always cross-check final details on neet.nta.nic.in once the 2027 notification is released. 10 सप्टेंबर 2026 पर्यंत, National Testing Agency (NTA) ने अधिकृत NEET (UG) 2027 Information Bulletin अजून प्रसिद्ध केलेली नाही. या पानावरील प्रत्येक तारीख, फी आणि नियम — ज्यावर स्पष्टपणे "Officially Confirmed for 2027" लिहिलेले नाही — तो एकतर (अ) सर्वात अलीकडची अधिकृत माहिती आहे, जी अधिकृत "Information Bulletin NEET (UG)-2026" मधून घेतली आहे, किंवा (ब) NTA च्या मागील पॅटर्नवर आधारित अपेक्षित/तात्पुरता अंदाज आहे — तो 2027 चा अधिकृत आकडा नाही. 2026 मधील काही तारखा (city intimation, admit card प्रसिद्ध होणे, responses/answer keys दाखवणे, result तारीख) 2026 च्या Bulletin मध्येही "website वर नंतर जाहीर केले जाईल" असेच सोडलेल्या होत्या. 2027 ची notification आल्यावर neet.nta.nic.in वर नक्की खात्री करून घ्या.

1About the Examinationपरीक्षेबद्दल

Full name: National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate), commonly called NEET (UG).पूर्ण नाव: National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate), सामान्यतः NEET (UG) म्हणतात.

Conducting authority: Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) since 2019, pursuant to the Hon'ble Supreme Court's judgment dated 22 November 2018 in CBSE vs. T.K. Rangarajan & Ors., and with the approval of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and the Ministry of Education. Per Section 14 of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 (and the corresponding NCISM Act, 2020 and National Commission for Homoeopathy Act, 2020), NEET (UG) is the mandatory common entrance test for undergraduate medical education across all Medical, Ayurveda/Siddha/Unani and Homoeopathy institutions in India.आयोजक authority: 2019 पासून National Testing Agency (NTA) कडून घेतली जाते, CBSE वि. T.K. Rangarajan & Ors. मधील 22 नोव्हेंबर 2018 च्या माननीय Supreme Court च्या निकालानुसार, आणि Ministry of Health & Family Welfare व Ministry of Education च्या मान्यतेने. National Medical Commission Act, 2019 च्या Section 14 नुसार (व संबंधित NCISM Act, 2020 आणि National Commission for Homoeopathy Act, 2020), NEET (UG) ही भारतातील सर्व Medical, Ayurveda/Siddha/Unani व Homoeopathy institutions मधील undergraduate medical education साठीची अनिवार्य समान प्रवेश परीक्षा आहे.

NTA's role: NTA's responsibility is limited to inviting online applications, conducting the test, declaring the result, and providing the All India Rank (AIR) to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS). NTA does not itself allot seats — actual admission norms, reservation and counselling are governed by the respective Regulatory Bodies (NMC, DCI, NCISM, NCH) and counselling authorities (MCC, AACCC, State authorities).NTA ची भूमिका: NTA ची जबाबदारी online applications मागवणे, परीक्षा घेणे, result जाहीर करणे, आणि Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) ला All India Rank (AIR) पुरवणे इतकीच मर्यादित आहे. NTA स्वतः जागा वाटप करत नाही — प्रत्यक्ष प्रवेश नियम, reservation व counselling संबंधित Regulatory Bodies (NMC, DCI, NCISM, NCH) व counselling authorities (MCC, AACCC, State authorities) द्वारे नियंत्रित केले जातात.

Important features students should knowविद्यार्थ्यांनी जाणून घ्याव्यात अशा महत्त्वाच्या गोष्टी

NEET (UG) is a single 180-question, 720-mark paper covering Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany & Zoology) — there is no separate "Paper 1/Paper 2" split like JEE Advanced.NEET (UG) हा Physics, Chemistry व Biology (Botany & Zoology) समाविष्ट असलेला एकच 180-प्रश्न, 720-गुण paper आहे — JEE Advanced प्रमाणे वेगळा "Paper 1/Paper 2" split नाही.
Unlike MHT-CET or JEE Main, NEET (UG) uses raw marks directly (out of 720) for the All India Rank — there is no percentile normalization of the score itself, since it is a single-shift exam. (A percentile of the marks is used only to determine the minimum qualifying threshold — see Section 12.)MHT-CET किंवा JEE Main प्रमाणे नाही, NEET (UG) All India Rank साठी थेट raw marks (720 पैकी) वापरते — ही एकाच shift ची परीक्षा असल्याने score चे percentile normalization केले जात नाही. (फक्त किमान qualifying मर्यादा ठरवण्यासाठी गुणांचा percentile वापरला जातो — Section 12 पाहा.)
NEET (UG) has definite negative marking: +4 for a correct/most appropriate answer, −1 for an incorrect option, 0 for unanswered.NEET (UG) मध्ये निश्चित negative marking आहे: बरोबर/सर्वात योग्य उत्तरासाठी +4, चुकीच्या पर्यायासाठी −1, उत्तर न दिल्यास 0.
Qualifying NEET (UG) does not guarantee an MBBS/BDS/AYUSH seat — actual admission depends on category-wise All India Rank, the specific quota (15% AIQ / State Quota / Central Institutions / Deemed University / NRI), seat availability, and successful counselling by MCC, AACCC or the relevant State authority.NEET (UG) qualify करणे MBBS/BDS/AYUSH जागेची हमी देत नाही — प्रत्यक्ष प्रवेश category-निहाय All India Rank, विशिष्ट कोटा (15% AIQ / State Quota / Central Institutions / Deemed University / NRI), जागांची उपलब्धता, आणि MCC, AACCC किंवा संबंधित State authority द्वारे यशस्वी counselling वर अवलंबून असतो.

What actually happened to the 3 May 2026 exam3 मे 2026 च्या परीक्षेचे प्रत्यक्षात काय झाले

The Information Bulletin's own printed schedule above shows the exam as originally planned for 3 May 2026. In reality, NTA cancelled that sitting on 12 May 2026, via an official press release ("NEET (UG) 2026 – Decision on the Examination of 3 May 2026"), after a suspected question-paper leak came to light; the matter was referred to the CBI. NTA re-conducted the exam on 21 June 2026 (2:00 PM–5:15 PM), without requiring fresh registration or fees, and issued new admit cards. This is exactly why this page treats the Bulletin's printed schedule as historical reference only, not as a guarantee of what actually happens — always check neet.nta.nic.in for the live, current-cycle status of any date. वरील Information Bulletin च्या स्वतःच्या छापील वेळापत्रकात परीक्षा मूळतः 3 मे 2026 रोजी नियोजित होती. प्रत्यक्षात, संशयित question-paper leak उघड झाल्यानंतर, NTA ने अधिकृत press release ("NEET (UG) 2026 – Decision on the Examination of 3 May 2026") द्वारे 12 मे 2026 रोजी ती परीक्षा रद्द केली; हे प्रकरण CBI कडे पाठवण्यात आले. NTA ने नवीन registration किंवा fees न घेता 21 जून 2026 रोजी परीक्षा पुन्हा घेतली (2:00 PM–5:15 PM), आणि नवीन admit cards जारी केली. यामुळेच हे page Bulletin चे छापील वेळापत्रक फक्त ऐतिहासिक संदर्भ म्हणून घेते, प्रत्यक्षात काय होईल याची हमी म्हणून नाही — कोणत्याही तारखेच्या live, चालू-cycle स्थितीसाठी नेहमी neet.nta.nic.in तपासा.

Remember: No 2026 date should ever be read as a 2027 date, and even several 2026 milestones (city intimation, admit card, responses/answer keys, result) were left "to be announced later" rather than fixed in the Bulletin itself, on top of the mid-cycle cancellation/reschedule described above.लक्षात ठेवा: कोणतीही 2026 ची तारीख 2027 ची तारीख समजू नये, आणि वरील मध्य-cycle रद्द/पुनर्नियोजनाव्यतिरिक्त, 2026 चे अनेक टप्पेही (city intimation, admit card, responses/answer keys, result) Bulletin मध्येच निश्चित न करता "नंतर जाहीर केले जाईल" असे सोडलेले होते.

12Qualifying Criteria & Percentile CutoffQualifying निकष व Percentile Cutoff Officially Confirmed (2026)

To be eligible for admission (not merely to appear), a candidate must obtain a minimum percentile of the highest marks in the All India common merit list for that year — this percentile is determined fresh each year and is separate from the raw 720-mark score used for ranking.प्रवेशासाठी पात्र होण्यासाठी (फक्त बसण्यासाठी नाही), उमेदवाराने त्या वर्षीच्या All India common merit list मधील सर्वाधिक गुणांचा किमान percentile मिळवणे आवश्यक आहे — हा percentile दरवर्षी नव्याने ठरवला जातो व ranking साठी वापरल्या जाणाऱ्या raw 720-गुण score पेक्षा वेगळा आहे.

CategoryCategory	Minimum Qualifying Percentileकिमान Qualifying Percentile
General (UR) / General-EWS	50th percentile
SC / ST / OBC	40th percentile
Unreserved & GEN-EWS candidates with Benchmark DisabilitiesBenchmark Disabilities असलेले Unreserved व GEN-EWS उमेदवार	45th percentile
SC / ST / OBC-NCL candidates with Benchmark DisabilitiesBenchmark Disabilities असलेले SC / ST / OBC-NCL उमेदवार	40th percentile

Discretionary lowering: If a sufficient number of candidates in a category fail to meet the minimum marks in a given year, the Central Government, in consultation with NMC/DCI/NCISM/NCH and other regulatory bodies, may lower the minimum marks required for that academic year only — this lowered threshold does not carry forward to future years.विवेकाधीन कपात: एखाद्या वर्षी एखाद्या category मधील पुरेसे उमेदवार किमान गुण पूर्ण करू शकले नाहीत, तर Central Government, NMC/DCI/NCISM/NCH व इतर regulatory bodies यांच्याशी सल्लामसलत करून, फक्त त्या academic year साठी आवश्यक किमान गुण कमी करू शकते — ही कमी केलेली मर्यादा भविष्यातील वर्षांसाठी पुढे चालू राहत नाही.

Course-specific language rule: For BUMS, candidates must have passed Class 10 with Urdu/Arabic/Persian or cleared an Urdu proficiency test; for BSMS, candidates must have passed Tamil at Class 10/Higher Secondary or study it during the First Professional course.Course-विशिष्ट भाषा नियम: BUMS साठी, उमेदवारांनी Class 10 मध्ये Urdu/Arabic/Persian उत्तीर्ण केलेले असावे किंवा Urdu प्रवीणता चाचणी उत्तीर्ण केलेली असावी; BSMS साठी, उमेदवारांनी Class 10/Higher Secondary मध्ये Tamil उत्तीर्ण केलेले असावे किंवा First Professional course दरम्यान ते शिकावे.

13Tie-Breaking Rules (Inter-Se-Merit)Tie-Breaking नियम (Inter-Se-Merit) Officially Confirmed (2026)

Where two or more candidates obtain equal marks/percentile scores, the tie is resolved strictly in this order:दोन किंवा अधिक उमेदवारांचे गुण/percentile scores समान असल्यास, tie खालील क्रमानेच सोडवला जातो:

Higher marks/percentile in Biology (Botany & Zoology)Biology (Botany & Zoology) मधील जास्त गुण/percentile
Higher marks/percentile in ChemistryChemistry मधील जास्त गुण/percentile
Higher marks/percentile in PhysicsPhysics मधील जास्त गुण/percentile
Lower proportion of attempted incorrect-to-correct answers across all subjectsसर्व विषयांत सोडवलेल्या चुकीच्या-ते-बरोबर उत्तरांचे कमी प्रमाण
Lower proportion of attempted incorrect-to-correct answers in BiologyBiology मध्ये सोडवलेल्या चुकीच्या-ते-बरोबर उत्तरांचे कमी प्रमाण
Lower proportion of attempted incorrect-to-correct answers in ChemistryChemistry मध्ये सोडवलेल्या चुकीच्या-ते-बरोबर उत्तरांचे कमी प्रमाण
Lower proportion of attempted incorrect-to-correct answers in PhysicsPhysics मध्ये सोडवलेल्या चुकीच्या-ते-बरोबर उत्तरांचे कमी प्रमाण
If the tie still persists after all the above, it is resolved through a random process under the guidance of an independent expert committeeवरील सर्वानंतरही tie कायम राहिल्यास, स्वतंत्र तज्ज्ञ समितीच्या मार्गदर्शनाखाली random प्रक्रियेद्वारे सोडवला जातो

Note this hierarchy — Biology first, then Chemistry, then Physics — is the reverse subject order compared to JEE Advanced's Mathematics-then-Physics approach, reflecting NEET's biology-heavy weightage.लक्षात घ्या की हा क्रम — प्रथम Biology, नंतर Chemistry, मग Physics — JEE Advanced च्या Mathematics-नंतर-Physics पद्धतीच्या उलट आहे, जो NEET च्या biology-प्रधान गुणभाराचे प्रतिबिंब आहे.

Candidates should refer to Regulation 5A(4) of the Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 1997 regarding "seat-blocking" rules that can affect eligibility for subsequent counselling rounds.Merit list कार्यपद्धती: NTA फक्त All India Rank पुरवते; ते स्वतः counselling घेत नाही. प्रत्येक counselling authority स्वतंत्रपणे counselling साठी applications मागवते व संबंधित category व quota मधील AIR वरून स्वतःची merit list तयार करते. पुढील counselling फेऱ्यांतील पात्रतेवर परिणाम करू शकणाऱ्या "seat-blocking" नियमांसाठी उमेदवारांनी Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 1997 च्या Regulation 5A(4) चा संदर्भ घ्यावा.

Nursing course at Armed Forces Medical Service hospitals must qualify NEET, with the NEET score used for shortlisting.कालावधी: 4 वर्षे.

Nursing course इच्छिणाऱ्या Military Nursing Service (MNS) इच्छुकांनी NEET qualify करणे आवश्यक आहे, NEET score shortlisting साठी वापरला जातो.

What the NEET Bulletin does NOT contain: The Information Bulletin does not list individual college names, their Government/Private/Deemed status, or seat-wise numbers for MBBS, BDS or any AYUSH course — Appendix IV of the Bulletin explicitly directs candidates to external regulator websites instead (see Section 16A below) rather than publishing a static list, since colleges and seats are added, increased or renewed every year.NEET Bulletin मध्ये काय नाही: Information Bulletin मध्ये MBBS, BDS किंवा कोणत्याही AYUSH course साठी वैयक्तिक college names, त्यांचे Government/Private/Deemed status, किंवा seat-निहाय आकडे दिलेले नाहीत — Bulletin चे Appendix IV स्थिर यादी प्रकाशित करण्याऐवजी उमेदवारांना बाह्य regulator websites कडे स्पष्टपणे निर्देशित करते (खालील Section 16A पाहा), कारण colleges व जागा दरवर्षी जोडल्या, वाढवल्या किंवा नूतनीकृत केल्या जातात.

16AWhere to Find Govt./Private College & Seat InformationGovt./Private College व Seat माहिती कुठे मिळेल

NTA's role is limited to conducting the exam and providing the All India Rank — it does not publish or maintain a college-wise or seat-wise list. That information is compiled separately, closer to each counselling round, by the regulator/counselling authority for each course:NTA ची भूमिका फक्त परीक्षा घेणे व All India Rank पुरवणे इतकीच मर्यादित आहे — ते college-निहाय किंवा seat-निहाय यादी प्रसिद्ध किंवा राखत नाही. ती माहिती प्रत्येक counselling फेरीजवळ, प्रत्येक course साठीच्या regulator/counselling authority कडून स्वतंत्रपणे संकलित केली जाते:

NMC itself states its matrix is provisional and subject to revision by its Appeal Committee or courts, and MCC/State authorities publish their own round-wise versions during counselling. Always cross-check the live figure on nmc.org.in (MBBS) or dciindia.gov.in (BDS), or the MCC/state seat matrix released for the specific round you're filling choices in.Source टीप: हे आकडे NEET Information Bulletin मध्ये नाहीत — ते NMC च्या Medical Assessment & Rating Board (MARB) seat matrix व Dental Council of India (DCI)/National Dental Commission data चा हवाला देणाऱ्या शिक्षण-बातम्यांनुसार आहेत, 2026 च्या मध्यापर्यंत चालू. NMC स्वतः सांगते की त्याचा matrix provisional आहे व त्याच्या Appeal Committee किंवा courts कडून सुधारित होऊ शकतो, आणि MCC/State authorities counselling दरम्यान त्यांच्या स्वतःच्या फेरी-निहाय आवृत्त्या प्रसिद्ध करतात. नेहमी nmc.org.in (MBBS) किंवा dciindia.gov.in (BDS) वरील live आकडा, किंवा तुम्ही choices भरत असलेल्या विशिष्ट फेरीसाठी प्रसिद्ध झालेला MCC/state seat matrix तपासा.

Maharashtra is consistently reported as the state with either the highest or near-highest MBBS and BDS seat count in India, reflecting its large number of both government and private medical/dental colleges. Well-known Government Medical Colleges include Seth GS Medical College (Mumbai), Grant Government Medical College (Mumbai), B.J. Government Medical College (Pune), Government Medical College Nagpur, and Armed Forces Medical College (Pune, admission via MCC only, not the state quota); well-known Government Dental Colleges include Government Dental College & Hospital, Mumbai.महाराष्ट्र सातत्याने भारतातील सर्वाधिक किंवा जवळपास सर्वाधिक MBBS व BDS जागा असलेले राज्य म्हणून नोंदवले जाते, जे तेथील मोठ्या संख्येने government व private medical/dental colleges दर्शवते. प्रसिद्ध Government Medical Colleges मध्ये Seth GS Medical College (Mumbai), Grant Government Medical College (Mumbai), B.J. Government Medical College (Pune), Government Medical College Nagpur, आणि Armed Forces Medical College (Pune, फक्त MCC द्वारे प्रवेश, state quota नाही) यांचा समावेश आहे; प्रसिद्ध Government Dental Colleges मध्ये Government Dental College & Hospital, Mumbai यांचा समावेश आहे.

Maharashtra State Quota — Counselling Authority & Where the Real List LivesMaharashtra State Quota — Counselling Authority व खरी यादी कुठे असते

For candidates seeking admission under Maharashtra's State Quota seats (85% of state medical/dental college seats, plus private/self-financed/NRI-quota seats within the state), the counselling authority is the same office that conducts MHT-CET — the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Government of Maharashtra (via the Directorate of Medical Education and Research, DMER, Maharashtra), not MCC. Its every-year college-wise and seat-wise list is published as a downloadable seat-matrix PDF on the CET Cell's counselling portal before each round of the admission cycle — it is not part of the NEET (UG) Information Bulletin itself, and it changes round-to-round as seats are surrendered, added or reallocated. Maharashtra च्या State Quota जागांखाली (state medical/dental college जागांच्या 85%, तसेच राज्यातील private/self-financed/NRI-quota जागा) प्रवेश इच्छिणाऱ्या उमेदवारांसाठी, counselling authority ही MHT-CET घेणारीच office आहे — State Common Entrance Test Cell, Government of Maharashtra (Directorate of Medical Education and Research, DMER, Maharashtra द्वारे), MCC नाही. त्यांची दरवर्षीची college-निहाय व seat-निहाय यादी admission cycle च्या प्रत्येक फेरीपूर्वी CET Cell च्या counselling portal वर download करण्याजोगी seat-matrix PDF म्हणून प्रसिद्ध केली जाते — ती स्वतः NEET (UG) Information Bulletin चा भाग नाही, आणि जागा सोडल्या, जोडल्या किंवा पुन्हा वाटप झाल्याने ती फेरी-निहाय बदलते.

In short: for the 15% All India Quota anywhere in India, check MCC's seat matrix; for a Maharashtra college under the State Quota, check the State CET Cell / DMER's own published list — both are released fresh every counselling cycle and are never fixed numbers carried over from the NEET Information Bulletin.थोडक्यात: भारतात कुठेही 15% All India Quota साठी, MCC चा seat matrix तपासा; State Quota अंतर्गत Maharashtra college साठी, State CET Cell / DMER ची स्वतःची प्रसिद्ध यादी तपासा — दोन्ही प्रत्येक counselling cycle साठी नव्याने प्रसिद्ध केल्या जातात व NEET Information Bulletin मधून पुढे नेलेले निश्चित आकडे कधीच नसतात.

17Unfair Means & DisciplineUnfair Means व शिस्त

Candidates found using unfair means or violating examination rules are liable for cancellation of result, debarment from future NTA examinations, and — depending on severity — legal/criminal action.Unfair means वापरताना किंवा परीक्षेच्या नियमांचे उल्लंघन करताना आढळलेल्या उमेदवारांचा result रद्द होऊ शकतो, भविष्यातील NTA परीक्षांतून debarment होऊ शकते, आणि — गंभीरतेनुसार — कायदेशीर/फौजदारी कारवाई होऊ शकते.
All disputes relating to the conduct of the examination fall within the jurisdiction of the courts in Delhi only — a different jurisdiction than MHT-CET (Mumbai) or JEE Advanced.परीक्षा घेण्याशी संबंधित सर्व वाद फक्त Delhi च्या courts च्या कक्षेत येतात — MHT-CET (Mumbai) किंवा JEE Advanced पेक्षा वेगळी कक्षा.
NTA maintains a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) framework and caution notices warning candidates against fraudulent claims of "guaranteed" seats or leaked papers; suspicious activity should be reported to [email protected].NTA Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) framework राखते व "guaranteed" जागा किंवा leaked papers च्या फसव्या दाव्यांबाबत उमेदवारांना इशारा देणाऱ्या caution notices जारी करते; संशयास्पद activity [email protected] वर कळवावी.

Don't assume the medium of the question paper can be changed later — it cannotquestion paper चे माध्यम नंतर बदलता येईल असे गृहीत धरू नका — ते बदलता येत नाही

Don't expect re-checking or re-evaluation after the result is declared — there is none, by design, for a machine-graded OMR examresult जाहीर झाल्यानंतर re-checking किंवा re-evaluation ची अपेक्षा करू नका — machine-graded OMR परीक्षेसाठी ती मुळातच नाही

19Common Mistakes Students Makeविद्यार्थी करतात त्या सामान्य चुका

Guessing on negative marking: Random guessing on MCQs can hurt more than help, since each wrong answer costs 1 mark against a 4-mark reward for a correct oneNegative marking वर अंदाजाने उत्तर देणे: MCQs वर अंदाजाने उत्तर देणे फायद्यापेक्षा नुकसानच जास्त करू शकते, कारण प्रत्येक चुकीच्या उत्तराला 1 गुण किंमत आहे तर बरोबरला 4 गुण बक्षीस
Choosing the wrong qualifying-examination code: Not identifying the correct Code (01–07) for one's own Class 12/equivalent background, especially for diploma, foreign-board, or improvement-exam candidatesचुकीचा qualifying-examination code निवडणे: स्वतःच्या Class 12/समकक्ष पार्श्वभूमीसाठी योग्य Code (01–07) ओळखता न येणे, विशेषतः diploma, foreign-board, किंवा improvement-exam उमेदवारांसाठी
Overlooking the percentile-vs-marks distinction: Assuming the qualifying percentile (50th/40th/45th) is the same as a percentage of marks — it is not; it is a category-wise relative threshold recalculated each yearpercentile-वि-marks फरक दुर्लक्षित करणे: qualifying percentile (50th/40th/45th) हे गुणांच्या टक्केवारीसारखेच आहे असे गृहीत धरणे — तसे नाही; ती दरवर्षी पुन्हा गणलेली category-निहाय सापेक्ष मर्यादा आहे
Missing the correction window: Not fixing an error in category, medium or personal details during the brief window provided right after registration closesCorrection window चुकवणे: registration बंद झाल्यानंतर लगेच दिलेल्या थोड्या कालावधीत category, माध्यम किंवा वैयक्तिक तपशिलांतील चूक दुरुस्त न करणे
Wrong category documentation: Applying under OBC-NCL, EWS, SC or ST without the correct central-list/certificate format, risking rejection of the reservation claim during counsellingचुकीची category कागदपत्रे: योग्य central-list/certificate format शिवाय OBC-NCL, EWS, SC किंवा ST अंतर्गत अर्ज करणे, ज्यामुळे counselling दरम्यान reservation दावा नाकारला जाण्याचा धोका
Ignoring the AIQ vs State Quota distinction: Not understanding that only 15% of state seats fall under AIQ (MCC counselling) while the rest follow the home state's own counselling and reservation rulesAIQ वि. State Quota फरक दुर्लक्षित करणे: state जागांपैकी फक्त 15% AIQ (MCC counselling) अंतर्गत येतात तर उर्वरित home state च्या स्वतःच्या counselling व reservation नियमांनुसार असतात हे न समजणे
Assuming NEET score alone secures a seat: Overlooking that admission also depends on quota, category-wise cutoff in that specific counselling round, and successful document verificationफक्त NEET score ने जागा निश्चित होईल असे गृहीत धरणे: प्रवेश quota, त्या विशिष्ट counselling फेरीतील category-निहाय cutoff, व यशस्वी कागदपत्र पडताळणीवरही अवलंबून असतो हे दुर्लक्षित करणे
