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.
