Puducherry NEET UG 2026: Topper Details

Krishanth Abhinav M topped the Union Territory of Puducherry in the Re-NEET UG 2026 result, securing All India Rank (AIR) 553 with a percentile of 99.9721, as reported by exam-tracking sources including Aakash Institute and Daily Jagran.

Source conflict note: Moneycontrol has separately reported that the Puducherry topper scored 670 marks. This specific marks figure could not be independently cross-verified against a second source at the time of writing, so it is presented here as reported by Moneycontrol rather than as a confirmed official figure. Candidates should treat the AIR/percentile (cross-verified across two sources) as more reliable than the marks figure until the official NTA scorecard or CENTAC records are checked directly.

Important Instructions for Applicants

• Only one application per candidate is permitted; multiple applications result in cancellation.
• Applications and objections must be submitted only through the official portals or email listed in this article.
• Keep renewed residence, community, EWS/income, and category certificates ready with the correct issue dates before starting the application.
• False nativity or residency claims across multiple states can lead to rejection and legal action.
• Since the seat matrix and full counselling schedule are still awaited, candidates should check centacpuducherry.in regularly for updates rather than relying on unofficial estimates.
