NBE prepares the result of all candidates by calculating their raw scores. Each correct answer is allotted 4 marks while 1 mark is deducted for every wrong answer. The score calculated using this scheme is used to calculate the percentage and the subsequent percentile of the candidate. Based on the percentiles, three ranks of the candidate are displayed in the scorecard.
Authorities have also specified the eligibility criteria for participating in the NEET MDS 2021 counselling session after the declaration of results. According to the information bulletin, general and EWS category candidates must score 50th percentile or above to be eligible for the counselling session.

UR PwD candidates are required to score the 45th percentile or more to appear for the counselling session.
NBE also follows certain tie-breaking criteria to assign ranks to candidates who have scored the same marks in the entrance exam. Candidate having lesser number of negative responses in part A and part B are given a higher rank. In case the tie persists, the candidate obtaining better marks in part B of the paper is given a higher merit position. In case the tie doesn’t break, the candidate with lesser number of negative responses in part B shall be given a higher merit rank. Lastly, the older candidate shall be given a higher merit position to break the tie.
