Which Coaching Has the Highest Selections in NEET 2026? Toppers, Claims & Real Numbers
Allen, Aakash and PW all claimed NEET 2026 toppers. We put each institute's claims next to the official Re-NEET result and independent top-10 lists to show who really led.
Which coaching has the highest selection in NEET 2026? On the numbers the institutes themselves published, Allen led NEET UG 2026: it claimed 5 of the top 10 ranks, 46 of the top 100, and 63 of the 138 candidates who scored 690 or more. Aakash claimed several top-10 ranks too, and Physics Wallah claimed a long list of ranks inside AIR 1,000. However, several of these claims overlap, and independent topper lists credit some of the same students to different institutes. This article puts the claims side by side with the official result data so you can read them correctly.
NEET UG 2026 was held twice. The original exam on 3 May 2026 was followed by a Re-NEET on 21 June 2026, and NTA declared the result on 16 July 2026. All rank claims below refer to that final result.

NEET 2026 Top 10 and the Coaching Credited
The table below shows the top 10 as compiled by an independent education portal (Careers360) from the official result and coaching information, next to what Allen stated in its own announcement.
| AIR | Topper | Coaching per independent list | Also claimed by Allen? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aryan Gupta | Education Square | Yes |
| 2 | Panshul Bansal | Allen (classroom) | Yes |
| 3 | Uplakshya Goyal | Aakash (classroom) | — |
| 4 | Ayush Bhalotia | Allen (classroom) | Yes |
| 5 | Kudale Shravani Krishna | Success Code Coaching Institute, Baramati | — |
| 6 | Riya Ranjan | No coaching claim | — |
| 7 | Aryan Dubey | Aakash (classroom) | Yes |
| 8 | Geetansh Sarin | Aakash (classroom) | — |
| 9 | Gaurav Singh | Allen (classroom) | Yes |
| 10 | Mohanish Maruti Bhosale | Sanjay Ghodawat IIT & Medical Academy | — |
By the independent count, Allen and Aakash each have 3 of the top 10. Allen's figure of 5 includes Aryan Gupta (AIR 1) and Aryan Dubey (AIR 7), whom other lists credit to Education Square and Aakash. Aakash's own topper page also lists Aryan Gupta (via its distance-learning programme) and Aryan Dubey among its results.
Why the same topper appears in several lists: students often take a classroom course at one institute and a test series, distance-learning programme or crash course at another. Each institute counts every student who was enrolled in any of its products. None of these claims is necessarily false, but they are not exclusive.
What Each Major Coaching Claimed for NEET 2026
| Coaching | Headline claim (as published by the institute) |
|---|---|
| Allen Career Institute | 5 in top 10, 10 in top 20, 23 in top 50, 46 in top 100; 63 of 138 students with 690+ marks (classroom, online and distance learning combined) |
| Aakash Educational Services | Multiple top-10 ranks including AIR 3, AIR 7 and AIR 8, plus a long list of state toppers from classroom, hybrid and distance-learning courses |
| Physics Wallah (PW) | A growing list of verified ranks led by AIR 55 (695 marks), with many students inside AIR 1,000 from its Lakshya and Yakeen batches |
| Regional institutes | Education Square, Success Code (Baramati) and Sanjay Ghodawat Academy each credited with a top-10 rank |
Reading this fairly: Allen and Aakash dominate the very top ranks, which reflects their large classroom programmes in Kota, Delhi and other hubs. PW's strength is the volume of qualified students from low-cost online batches rather than top-10 ranks. And two of the top 10 came from smaller regional institutes, while one topper credited no coaching at all.
Highest Selections vs Highest Selection Rate
"Highest selections" usually means the largest absolute number of students who got a medical seat. That number is driven mostly by how many students a coaching enrols. A coaching with 2 lakh students will always have more selections than one with 2,000, even if the smaller institute has a better success rate.
When comparing coachings, ask for:
- Selection rate: selections divided by students enrolled in the same programme (for example, the two-year classroom course).
- Programme split: how many toppers came from the classroom course versus a test series or crash course.
- Verifiable proof: roll number or scorecard verification, as PW does for its published list.
- Your city's centre: results from the Kota flagship centre say little about a new centre in your town.
So, Which NEET Coaching Should You Join?
| Your priority | Consider |
|---|---|
| Top-100 ambition and a strict classroom routine | Allen or Aakash classroom programmes |
| Low budget, self-driven, strong internet | PW (Lakshya, Yakeen) or other online batches |
| Staying in your home town | A strong local institute; check its verified results for your city |
| Already in coaching, need more practice | A national test series to benchmark yourself |
