NEET UG 2026 Cutoff Out: Category-Wise Marks for UP AYUSH Counselling

NEET UG 2026 cutoff is out, and AYUSH aspirants in Uttar Pradesh now have a clear starting point for counselling planning. Students targeting BAMS, BHMS or BUMS must first check whether they have qualified NEET in their category, and then move toward document readiness, college preference planning and round-wise counselling action.

For UP AYUSH admission, the qualifying cutoff only confirms counselling eligibility. Actual admission depends on NEET rank, state rules, category, seat matrix, course preference and choice filling. This blog explains the 2026 cutoff along with 2025 and 2024 data so students can understand the competition in a practical way.

The 2026 cutoff table is the qualifying cutoff. It confirms whether a student can participate in eligible counselling processes. It is not the same as the college admission cutoff, because college allotment depends on rank, category, seat matrix, choices and round-wise vacancy.

The three-year trend shows why students should not depend only on old marks while planning counselling. A rank-based strategy is safer because the same marks can carry a different rank every year.
