Unlock My College ListWhat is this seat matrix and why does it matter?
A seat matrix is an official table that lists exactly how many seats are available in each category (unreserved, EWS, OBC, SC, ST, SA, and MBC) at a specific college for a specific round of counselling. This matrix is for management quota seats — seats that the college fills directly, not through the state's main counselling process. The stray vacancy round is the final opportunity to fill any management seats that were not filled in earlier rounds.
This matrix matters because it tells you: (1) whether there are any seats left at this college in your category, (2) how many candidates will be competing for those seats, and (3) whether it is worth registering for counselling in this round. If your category has zero seats, you cannot be allotted a seat at this college in this round, no matter how high your NEET rank is.
Which college and course does this apply to?
This seat matrix applies exclusively to Pacific Dental College & Hospital, located in Udaipur, Rajasthan. The course is BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery), a 4-year undergraduate dental degree. The seats listed are management quota seats only — these are seats that the college fills through its own admission process, separate from the state's main counselling. This is not about government seats or seats filled through the state's Competent Authority Quota.
Pacific Dental College is a private dental institution in Rajasthan. If you are looking for BDS seats at other colleges in Rajasthan or at government dental colleges, you will need to check the separate seat matrices for those institutions.
How many seats are available and in which categories?
Pacific Dental College has a total of 4 BDS management seats available in the stray vacancy round. The breakdown by category is shown in the table below. The key point: only two categories have seats — Unreserved and OBC. All other categories (EWS, MBC, SC, ST, SA) have zero seats available.
| Category | Seats Available |
|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) | 2 |
| EWS (Economically Weaker Section) | 0 |
| MBC (Most Backward Class) | 0 |
| OBC (Other Backward Class) | 2 |
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | 0 |
| ST (Scheduled Tribe) | 0 |
| SA (Sports/Armed Forces) | 0 |
| Total | 4 |
Who is eligible to apply for these management seats?
To be eligible for these BDS management seats, you must: (1) have appeared for NEET UG 2026 and obtained a valid score, (2) have passed 12th standard (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, (3) meet the age requirement set by the National Medical Commission (typically 17 years at the time of admission), and (4) be an Indian citizen or hold an OCI/PIO card.

What does 'management quota' mean?
Management quota (also called 'management seat' or 'private seat') refers to seats that a private or deemed college fills directly through its own admission process, rather than through the state's counselling system. These seats are typically filled based on merit (NEET rank) and the college's own criteria, which may include entrance tests, interviews, or direct merit-based selection. The college has the authority to set its own fee structure for these seats, which is usually higher than government seats.
In Rajasthan's NEET UG counselling, management seats are offered in a separate round after the main and supplementary rounds. The stray vacancy round is the final opportunity to fill any management seats that remain unfilled. If you are allotted a management seat, you will be required to pay the college's fee directly to the college, not to the government.
What is the stray vacancy round?
The stray vacancy round is the final round of counselling in the NEET UG admission process. It is conducted after the main round and supplementary rounds have been completed. In this round, any seats that remain unfilled — whether due to candidates not joining, candidates withdrawing, or seats not being filled in earlier rounds — are offered to eligible candidates. This is the last chance to secure a seat in the current admission cycle.
The stray vacancy round typically has fewer seats available and operates on a first-come, first-served basis or on the basis of merit (NEET rank). Candidates who did not get a seat in earlier rounds, or who wish to upgrade to a better college or course, can participate in the stray vacancy round. However, the number of seats available is usually very small, as shown in this matrix (only 4 seats at Pacific Dental College).
When will counselling for these seats take place?
This notice does not specify the exact dates for the stray vacancy round counselling. The notice only provides the updated seat matrix as of 21 October 2026. To find out when registration, choice filling, and allotment for the stray vacancy round will occur, you must check the official Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal (ug.neetrajasthan.com) or wait for a separate counselling schedule notification from the NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission/Counselling Board.
It is important to monitor the official portal regularly, as stray vacancy round dates are often announced with short notice. Missing the registration or choice-filling deadline will disqualify you from this round.
How do I apply for these management seats?
The exact application process for the stray vacancy round will be detailed in a separate counselling notification. Typically, the process involves: (1) registering on the official Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal using your NEET roll number and password, (2) filling in your choices of colleges and courses (in this case, Pacific Dental College BDS), (3) locking your choices, and (4) waiting for the allotment result. You will need to have your NEET admit card, category certificate (if applicable), and other required documents ready.
Once you receive an allotment, you will be required to report to the college within the specified time to complete admission formalities, pay fees, and join the course. Failure to report within the deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat. Since this is a management quota seat, the fee structure will be set by the college and may be significantly higher than government seats.

While this notice does not list the specific documents required, standard documents for NEET UG counselling and admission typically include: (1) NEET admit card and score card, (2) 12th mark sheet and pass certificate, (3) birth certificate or age proof, (4) category certificate (if applicable — OBC, SC, ST, EWS, SA, or MBC), (5) Aadhaar card or other government-issued ID, (6) passport-size photographs, and (7) any other documents specified in the counselling notification.
For management quota seats, the college may also require additional documents such as a medical fitness certificate, character certificate, or proof of residence. Check the college's official website or the counselling notification for the complete list of documents required for admission to Pacific Dental College.
- NEET admit card and score card
- 12th mark sheet and pass certificate
- Birth certificate or age proof
- Category certificate (if applicable)
- Aadhaar card or government-issued ID
- Passport-size photographs
- Any documents specified in the counselling notification
What if my category has zero seats?
If your category (EWS, MBC, SC, ST, or SA) has zero seats at Pacific Dental College in this round, you cannot be allotted a seat at this college in the stray vacancy round, regardless of your NEET rank or merit. The seat matrix is fixed and binding — the college cannot allot seats in categories where the matrix shows zero availability.
If you belong to a category with zero seats, your options are: (1) look for other BDS colleges in Rajasthan that have seats in your category, (2) consider MBBS instead of BDS if seats are available, or (3) wait for the next admission cycle. Do not waste time registering for counselling at Pacific Dental College if your category has no seats.
Can this seat matrix change?
Yes, seat matrices can change between rounds. This matrix is labeled 'Updated' and dated 21 October 2026, which suggests it may have been revised from an earlier version. Seats can increase or decrease based on: (1) candidates joining or not joining in earlier rounds, (2) candidates withdrawing after joining, (3) court orders or regulatory changes, or (4) colleges reporting additional vacancies.
Always check the official Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal for the most recent seat matrix before registering for counselling. Do not rely on an older version of the matrix. The portal will display the latest matrix for each round.
Important points to remember
This is a management quota seat matrix, not a government seat matrix. Management seats are filled by the college directly and typically have higher fees. The stray vacancy round is the final round of counselling — if you do not secure a seat here, you will have to wait for the next admission cycle. Only 4 seats are available at this college in this round, so competition may be high. If your category has zero seats, you cannot apply at this college in this round.
Monitor the official Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal (ug.neetrajasthan.com) regularly for updates on counselling dates, registration deadlines, and any changes to the seat matrix. Missing a deadline can cost you your opportunity to participate in this round.
