The NEET Re-Exam for 2026 has successfully taken place. Initially canceled due to a paper leak, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) UG was held on June 21, attracting over 2.2 million candidates. However, the number of available MBBS seats in the country is less than 150,000. A NEET score is essential for admission into various medical programs, including BAMS, BHMS, and nursing. As a result, many candidates strive for high scores in NEET UG, yet a significant number do not secure MBBS seats despite good performance. Additionally, some candidates may not achieve competitive scores and may exit the system altogether.
This year, candidates have alternative options to pursue a career in the medical field without needing a NEET score. They can gain admission to several reputable medical courses based on their Class 12 marks. Here are the details:
**Admission to 13 Allied Healthcare Courses Without NEET Score**
Candidates can enroll in 13 different allied healthcare courses without a NEET score, which are overseen by the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP). The available courses include:
**Postponement of NEET Score Requirement for Admissions**
Initially, admissions for these allied health courses were set to rely on NEET-UG scores starting this year. An official notification was released, but a subsequent update in March indicated that using NEET-UG scores for admissions to courses like BPT and BOT would not be possible for the 2026-27 academic year. This implementation has been deferred to the 2027-28 academic year. Therefore, this year presents the final chance to enroll in these courses without a NEET score, with admissions still being conducted at the university level based on Class 12 results.
