- Radio Diagnosis, Nuclear Medicine, and Dermatology remain the toughest government branches in Uttar Pradesh, with very low closing AIR under UR and OBC categories.
- Forensic Medicine, SPM, and Pathology continue to be the most accessible government branches for candidates with comparatively higher AIR, across almost every category.
- In private colleges (Open category), Radio Diagnosis and Nuclear Medicine have the most competitive (lowest rank) cut-offs, while Pathology and SPM remain relatively easier to secure with a lower score.
- Reservation categories (OBC, EWS, SC, ST) show significantly relaxed cut-offs compared to UR in most branches, so category-eligible candidates should compare both lists carefully during choice filling.
- Target scores are projections based on historical trends and may shift slightly depending on exam difficulty, number of seats, and total candidates appearing in NEET PG 2026.
Choosing the right branch and college is not just about matching your score to a cut-off number, it also depends on bond policy, hostel facilities, faculty strength, and long-term career value of the specialty. At NEET MENTOR, we provide personalised, one-on-one counselling support to help you make the most informed choice-filling decision for NEET PG 2026, covering both government and private options across Uttar Pradesh and all other states.
