The Story in Brief
The provisional merit list for NEET-UG 2026 released by J&K BOPEE shows 1,064 candidates scoring above 500 marks. The top-ranked candidate from J&K is a female with All India Rank 99. Twenty-eight of the top 100 are women. In total, 1,087 candidates scored 500 or more. The list covers candidates from J&K and Ladakh. With 1,675 MBBS seats approved for 2026-27 (1,525 government, 150 private), competition is intense. The cut-off is expected to be in low-to-mid 500s for Open Merit. Candidates can submit objections by August 14.
The Indian Opinion
The high number of candidates scoring above 500 does not guarantee admission; the cut-off will vary by category and college. Some may mistakenly assume that 500 marks is the threshold, but the actual closing marks depend on counselling and seat availability. The tougher test will be whether reserved category cut-offs drop enough to accommodate more candidates. How will the final seat matrix alter the expected cut-offs for each category?
