What is Rajasthan NEET UG State Counselling? It is the centralised admission process through which the 85% state-quota MBBS and BDS seats in Rajasthan’s medical and dental colleges are filled, based purely on NEET UG 2026 rank, category, and domicile status.
Note: Exact percentages for each state-quota category are notified afresh by DME Rajasthan each year in the Information Brochure; candidates should verify the confirmed percentage breakdown once released.

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.

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
