Primary answer

If two or more candidates obtain the same score in NEET PG, a tie-breaking policy is applied to determine their ranking. Generally, the candidate with fewer incorrect responses is given a higher rank. If the tie still persists, the candidate who has higher marks in specific sections or fewer negative marks may be preferred depending on the guidelines issued by the exam authority for that year. These rules help ensure fair ranking when candidates obtain identical scores.
