Rajasthan Merit List

Aspect	Detail
How prepared	Based strictly on NEET UG 2026 score and resulting All India Rank (AIR)
State Merit Rank	A Rajasthan-specific rank assigned to domicile candidates based on AIR, used for state-quota seat allotment
Category Rank	Separate rank assigned within each reservation category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, SBC/MBC, PwBD)
Tie-Breaking Rules	Where two candidates have the same NEET score, standard NTA tie-breaking criteria are applied first (higher marks in Biology, then Chemistry, then fewer incorrect attempts, then older age) before the state assigns the final merit position
Publication	Released category-wise; only candidates appearing on the list can proceed to choice filling

Choice Filling Guide

Question	Answer
How many colleges can be selected?	Candidates may generally add as many available college-course combinations as they wish, limited only by the number of actual seats/colleges on offer (no fixed cap typically applied, but this should be confirmed from the year’s brochure)
Can choices be edited?	Yes – choices can be added, removed, and reordered any number of times before the round-specific locking deadline
Locking	Candidate must click “Final Lock” to submit the choice list for that round
Auto-lock	If the candidate does not lock manually, the system may auto-lock the choices as filled at the deadline – but this should not be relied upon, as unlocked or incomplete choice lists in some past cycles were treated as non-participation for that round
What happens if not locked?	The candidate risks losing eligibility for allotment in that round; rules vary by cycle, so choices should always be locked manually well before the deadline

Common Mistakes Students Make (Choice Filling):

• Filling only “dream” colleges and leaving no realistic backups
• Arranging colleges purely by expected cutoff instead of genuine preference
• Missing the choice-locking deadline
• Not cross-checking the seat matrix before finalising the list
• Ignoring bond and service conditions attached to specific colleges (e.g., RUHS CMS, Jhalawar Medical College)
• Uploading incorrect or expired category/domicile certificates

Seat Allotment Process

Seat allotment is based on:

• NEET UG 2026 Rank (AIR and State Merit Rank)
• Category (General/OBC/SC/ST/EWS/SBC/PwBD)
• Reservation applicable to the candidate
• Seat availability in each round
• Choices filled and their locked order
• Priority: The system checks the candidate’s highest-preference choice first; if unavailable at their rank, it automatically moves to the next locked preference, continuing down the list until a seat is matched or the list is exhausted

Counselling Rounds

Round 1

• Eligibility: All candidates who completed registration, document upload, and fee payment
• Free Exit: Typically permitted within a specified window before final reporting, without forfeiting security deposit (exact window confirmed per year)
• Penalty: Exiting after the Free Exit window, or not reporting after allotment, generally leads to forfeiture of the security deposit

Round 2

• Who can participate? Both already-registered candidates (for upgrade) and new candidates (fresh registration permitted)
• Fresh registration? Yes
• Upgrade? Yes – candidates already allotted a seat in Round 1 can apply to upgrade to a better choice

Round 3

• Fresh registration and fresh choice filling permitted, based on past-cycle practice
• Vacant seats from Rounds 1 and 2 are added to the pool

Stray Vacancy Round

• Who is eligible? Candidates who registered within the counselling cycle and remain eligible as per Board rules
• Who is not eligible? Candidates debarred due to non-joining after acceptance, or those who violated exit rules in earlier rounds
• Can resigned candidates participate? Generally no, if resignation happened after the permitted exit window in an earlier round; rules vary by cycle and should be verified in the year’s brochure

Reporting Process

Step	Detail
College Reporting	Physical reporting to the allotted institution (or SMS Medical College, Jaipur, for centralised stages) within the specified window
Physical Verification	Original documents checked against uploaded copies
Fee Payment	Balance admission fee paid at the college
Medical Examination	Basic medical fitness check may be conducted by the college, as per institutional norms
Original Documents	All documents listed in Section 9 must be submitted/shown in original
Admission Confirmation	Only completed after successful verification, fee payment, and signing of any applicable bond/undertaking

What Happens After Seat Allotment?

Option	Explanation
Accept Seat	Candidate reports and confirms admission at the allotted college
Upgrade	Candidate retains the current seat while remaining in the pool for a better allotment in the next round
Resign	Candidate voluntarily gives up the allotted seat, subject to round-specific rules and deposit forfeiture
Not Report	Failure to report within the window is treated as non-joining
Forfeit	Security deposit is forfeited on non-joining after the Free Exit period
Penalty	May include debarment from future counselling rounds/cycles, in addition to deposit forfeiture

Seat Resignation Rules

Stage	Rule
Before Round 2 (within Free Exit window)	Resignation generally permitted without major penalty; security deposit refunded
After Round 2	Resignation typically leads to forfeiture of security deposit and may attract further penalty/debarment
Bond Implications	Resigning after joining and signing a service bond can trigger bond-penalty clauses
Refund	Only the security deposit component is potentially refundable; the registration fee is never refunded

Bond Policy

Aspect	Government / RajMES Colleges	Private Colleges
Service Bond	Required – 2 years of mandatory service in Rajasthan government health facilities for government/government-society/RUHS CMS admits	Not typically applicable in the same form; may involve fee-completion affidavits instead
Penalty for Non-Compliance	₹5,00,000 (reported figure for breach or course discontinuation)	Not typically applicable
Caution Deposit	₹20,000 – forfeited if a candidate withdraws a day before counselling closes	College-specific, if any
RUHS CMS / Jhalawar Medical College (JMC) — Additional Condition	Extra bond requiring payment of fees for all remaining semesters if the candidate drops out	Not applicable
Rural Service Bond (separate condition, some colleges)	Up to 5 years rural service reported for certain government-linked seats, with ₹5 lakh penalty for breach	Not applicable
PG Bond (post-MBBS, for reference)	₹25 lakh bond with 5-year mandatory government service for PG (MD/MS/DM/MCh) admits in Rajasthan (2025 policy) – relevant only after MBBS completion	–

Rajasthan is generally categorised as a “moderate bond” state (2-year service, ₹5 lakh penalty) compared to stricter states like Assam and Haryana (5-year bonds, ₹23–30 lakh penalties). Candidates are advised to verify the exact bond terms tied to their specific allotted college, since RUHS CMS and JMC Jhalawar carry additional conditions beyond the standard state bond.

Common Mistakes Students Make

• Filling only “dream” colleges without realistic backup options
• Arranging college choices purely by expected cutoff instead of genuine preference
• Missing registration, choice-filling, or locking deadlines
• Not reviewing the official seat matrix before finalising choices
• Ignoring bond and service conditions tied to specific colleges (e.g., RUHS CMS, JMC Jhalawar)
• Not reporting to the allotted college within the specified window
• Uploading incorrect, expired, or mismatched category/domicile certificates
• Relying on unofficial or lookalike counselling websites for registration and payment

Expert Choice Filling Tips

• Fill the maximum possible number of realistic choices – a longer list improves the chance of allotment
• Arrange colleges by genuine preference, not purely by expected cutoff
• Include realistic backup options alongside aspirational ones
• List government colleges before private ones if fee and quality goals align with government seats
• Review every choice carefully before final locking – locked lists cannot be edited within that round
• Cross-check bond and service conditions before placing RUHS CMS or JMC Jhalawar high on the list
• Verify domicile and category certificate validity before choice-filling begins, to avoid last-minute rejection
