This is an official announcement from the NEET PG Board, Rajasthan confirming that grievances have been filed by candidates regarding the State Merit Rank (SMR) list that was published on 18 October 2026 for Round 1 counselling. The Board has acknowledged these grievances and committed to publishing a revised SMR list to address the issues raised.
The State Merit Rank is the official ranking used by Rajasthan to determine the order in which candidates are called for choice-filling and seat allotment during NEET PG counselling. Any changes to the SMR can directly affect your position in the queue, your eligibility for certain seats, and ultimately which college and specialty you are offered. This is why the Board's decision to revise the list is significant for all candidates in the Rajasthan counselling process.
Why was the SMR revised?
The notice does not specify the exact nature of the grievances received. However, common reasons for merit list revisions in NEET PG counselling include: calculation errors in the ranking algorithm, incorrect handling of tie-breaking rules, missing or wrongly processed candidate data, eligibility verification issues, or category/quota classification errors.
Candidates who filed grievances likely identified discrepancies in how their rank was calculated or how their eligibility was assessed. The Board's decision to revise the list indicates that the grievances were substantial enough to warrant a correction of the published merit list.
When will the revised SMR be released?

The notice states that the revised SMR will be published 'shortly' but does not provide a specific date or time. This means you must check the official NEET PG Rajasthan portal (pg.neetrajasthan.com) regularly—ideally daily—to catch the announcement as soon as it is posted.
Given that Round 1 counselling is already underway (choice-filling and allotment processes are in progress), the Board is likely to release the revised list as quickly as possible to minimize disruption to the counselling schedule. However, do not assume a date; wait for the official announcement.
What should you do right now?
Do not take any irreversible action based on the current (pre-revision) SMR. If you have not yet filled your choices or accepted a seat, wait for the revised list before proceeding. If you have already been allotted a seat, continue to monitor the portal—the Board may issue further instructions if your rank changes significantly.
Bookmark the official portal and check it at least once daily. Many boards post important updates during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM), but some announcements may come outside these times. Set a phone reminder if needed. The moment the revised SMR is published, download it and verify your new rank immediately.
- Visit pg.neetrajasthan.com daily
- Check the 'Notifications' or 'Announcements' section first
- Download and save the revised SMR as soon as it is posted
- Compare your new rank with your previous rank
- Read any accompanying instructions from the Board carefully
What happens after the revised SMR is published?
Once the revised SMR is released, the Board will likely issue a fresh schedule for the next steps in counselling. Depending on where Round 1 is in its cycle, this could mean: a new choice-filling window for candidates whose ranks have changed, a revised allotment list, or an extension of the current round's deadlines.
Candidates whose ranks improve may become eligible for better colleges or specialties. Candidates whose ranks worsen should be prepared to adjust their expectations and choice strategy accordingly. The Board will communicate the exact next steps via the portal and email notifications.
How does this affect in-service candidates?
Every kind of PG seat, one rank

A separate notice on the portal (dated 26 October 2026) states that choice-filling for in-service candidates with MBBS degrees obtained outside Rajasthan will be enabled only after the Provisional State Merit List is released following in-service verification by the Directorate of Medical and Health Services (DMHS). The revised SMR may trigger this process or delay it further, depending on whether in-service verification is complete.
If you are an in-service candidate, ensure that you have deposited all required documents for verification at DMHS as instructed. Do not assume your choice-filling window will open until the Board explicitly announces it.
What documents and bonds do you need to prepare?
While waiting for the revised SMR, use this time to prepare the documents you will need for seat acceptance and joining. The Board has published several bond and fee documents on the portal that you should review and download now.
Key documents to prepare include: Service Bond (for in-service candidates applying for study or extraordinary leave), Surety Bond (for non-service candidates), and fee payment receipts. Having these ready will speed up your joining process once a seat is allotted to you.

- Fee details for Government, RajMES, and RUHS-CMS colleges

What is the State Merit Rank (SMR) and why does it matter?
The State Merit Rank is the official ranking list used by Rajasthan to determine the order in which candidates are called for choice-filling and seat allotment in NEET PG counselling. Your SMR directly determines which colleges and specialties you are eligible to choose and when you get your turn. A higher rank (lower number) means you get priority in the selection process.
When exactly will the revised SMR be published?
The notice does not specify an exact date or time—it only says 'shortly'. You must check the official portal pg.neetrajasthan.com regularly, ideally daily, to catch the announcement. The Board will post it on the Notifications section of the portal.
What should I do if my rank changes in the revised SMR?
If your rank improves (becomes a lower number), you may become eligible for better colleges or specialties—review your options and be ready to fill fresh choices if the Board opens a new choice-filling window. If your rank worsens, adjust your expectations and prepare a revised list of colleges and specialties you are willing to accept. Follow the Board's instructions on the next steps.
I have already been allotted a seat in Round 1. Will the revised SMR affect my allotment?
The notice does not explicitly state whether allotments already made will be cancelled or revised. However, it is possible that if the revised SMR significantly changes the ranking order, the Board may re-run the allotment process. Continue to monitor the portal for further instructions. Do not assume your current allotment is final until the Board confirms it after the revised SMR is published.
I am an in-service candidate. How does this affect my choice-filling?
A separate notice states that choice-filling for in-service candidates with MBBS from outside Rajasthan will be enabled only after in-service verification is complete and the Provisional State Merit List is released. The revised SMR may be part of this process. Ensure you have submitted all required documents to DMHS for verification and wait for the Board's announcement on when your choice-filling window will open.
What if I filed a grievance? How will I know if it was addressed?
The notice does not provide details on individual grievance resolution. Once the revised SMR is published, check your new rank to see if the issue you reported has been corrected. If you believe your rank is still incorrect, you may be able to file a fresh grievance—watch for instructions on the portal.
Should I fill my choices now or wait for the revised SMR?
If you have not yet filled your choices, it is safer to wait for the revised SMR to be published so you can make decisions based on your correct rank. If you have already filled choices, do not change them unless the Board explicitly asks you to or opens a fresh choice-filling window after the revised list is released.
Where can I find the revised SMR once it is published?
The revised SMR will be published on the official portal pg.neetrajasthan.com, most likely in the Notifications or Documents section. Download it immediately and verify your new rank. The Board will also send an email notification to your registered email address.
Will the counselling schedule change because of the revised SMR?
The notice does not mention any changes to the counselling schedule. However, the Board may adjust deadlines for choice-filling or allotment once the revised SMR is released. Watch the portal for any updated schedule announcements.
What documents should I prepare while waiting for the revised SMR?
Use this time to download and review the Service Bond (for in-service candidates), Surety Bond (for non-service candidates), and fee details for your preferred colleges. Having these ready will speed up your joining process once a seat is allotted to you. The Board has published all these documents on the portal.
The revised State Merit Rank list is critical to your NEET PG 2026 counselling outcome in Rajasthan. Check the official portal pg.neetrajasthan.com daily for the announcement—do not wait for a reminder or social media post. As soon as the revised SMR is published, download it, verify your new rank, and follow the Board's next instructions carefully. If you have any doubts about your rank or eligibility, contact the Board through the official portal or email as soon as possible.
