The Rajasthan NEET PG Admission/Counselling Board has released the official schedule for Round 1 of NEET PG 2026 counselling for MD, MS, Post-MBBS DNB, and Post-MBBS Diploma seats. Applications open on 18 October 2026 and close on 23 October 2026. This is the first and critical step in the state's counselling process — every candidate seeking a postgraduate medical seat in Rajasthan must apply during this window, pay the non-refundable application fee, deposit a security amount, and fill their choice of colleges and specialties. The allotment list will be published on 2 November, and successful candidates must report for document verification and fee payment between 3 and 6 November 2026.
Apply online by 23 October 2026 (11:55 PM), pay the application fee by 5 PM the same day, deposit security amount by 29 October, and fill your college choices by 29 October (auto-locked at 11:45 PM) — missing any deadline will exclude you from Round 1 allotment.

Unlock My College ListWhat is Rajasthan NEET PG Round 1 Counselling?
Rajasthan NEET PG Round 1 is the first phase of postgraduate medical seat allotment in the state. It covers MD (Doctor of Medicine), MS (Master of Surgery), Post-MBBS DNB (Diplomate of National Board), and Post-MBBS Diploma courses offered in government medical colleges, government society medical colleges, RUHS CMS (Rajasthan University of Health Sciences Centre for Medical Sciences), government district hospitals, and private medical colleges across Rajasthan.
This round determines which candidates get which seats based on their NEET PG merit rank, category, and the choices they submit. If you do not participate in Round 1, you cannot be allotted a seat in this phase — you may be eligible for later rounds, but missing the deadline is a permanent loss for Round 1.
Application Fee: How Much and Who Pays Less?
Every candidate must pay a non-refundable application fee to participate in Round 1. The fee is ₹4,000 for most candidates (UR, EWS, OBC, MBC categories). However, candidates belonging to SC, ST, or ST-STA (Scheduled Tribe Special Area) categories AND holding Rajasthan state domicile pay a reduced fee of ₹3,000.
Both fees are subject to applicable transaction charges (bank charges, payment gateway fees, etc.), which will be added on top. The fee must be deposited online through the counselling website by 23 October 2026 at 5:00 PM. This is a mandatory step — without fee payment, your application will not be processed, even if you fill the form.
- General/EWS/OBC/MBC candidates: ₹4,000 + transaction charges
- SC/ST/ST-STA candidates (Rajasthan domicile only): ₹3,000 + transaction charges
- Deadline: 23 October 2026, 5:00 PM
- Non-refundable — you will not get this money back under any circumstance
Security Deposit: A Different Payment You Must Make
In addition to the application fee, you must deposit a security amount. This is separate money held by the board to ensure you join the allotted seat if you are selected. The security amount varies depending on the type of seat you are applying for and must be deposited in a single transaction only (do not split it into multiple payments).
The security deposit window is 19 October to 29 October 2026, 5:00 PM. This is a tight timeline — do not wait until the last day. The amount you deposit depends on which course and college type you choose: ₹1,00,000 for government seats (MD/MS/DNB/Diploma in government colleges, government society colleges, RUHS CMS, or government district hospitals), ₹2,00,000 for MD/MS management seats in government society colleges and RUHS CMS, and ₹5,00,000 for MD/MS seats in private medical colleges.
If you are allotted a seat and join, this security amount is typically adjusted against your tuition fee or returned after the academic year. If you do not join or are not allotted, the board's policy on refund will be clarified in the information bulletin — check the counselling website for details.
- ₹1,00,000 — for MD/MS/Post-MBBS DNB/Post-MBBS Diploma on government seats in government medical colleges, government society medical colleges, RUHS CMS, or government district hospitals
- ₹2,00,000 — for MD/MS on management seats in government society medical colleges and RUHS CMS
- ₹5,00,000 — for MD/MS in private medical colleges
- Deposit window: 19 October to 29 October 2026, 5:00 PM
- Must be deposited in a single transaction — no split payments
Step-by-Step Application Process
The application process has two parts, and both must be completed fully. Part 1 typically includes your personal details, NEET PG roll number, category, and domicile information. Part 2 includes your academic qualifications, medical registration details, and any special status (e.g., Senior Demonstrator, In-Service candidate). The notice emphasizes that both parts must be fully filled and completed — incomplete applications will be rejected.

These documents will be verified online by the DME (Director of Medical Education) for Senior Demonstrators and by the DMHS (Director of Medical and Health Services) for In-Service candidates.
Do not skip this step. The notice explicitly states that verification will be done online, and you are required to upload the requisite documents on the website during application.

Filling Your College and Specialty Choices
After the provisional merit list is published on 27 October 2026, you will be able to fill your choices of colleges and specialties. The choice-filling window is 19 October to 29 October 2026, and your choices will be automatically locked at 11:45 PM on 29 October 2026. This means you cannot change your choices after 11:45 PM on 29 October — so plan carefully and submit well before the deadline.
You can fill, save, and change your choices multiple times during this window. The system allows you to rank colleges and specialties in order of preference. The allotment algorithm will match your rank, category, and choices to available seats. Your final allotment will be based on your merit position and the choices you have locked. On 30 October 2026, you will be able to print your online application form after your choices are auto-locked.
- Choice-filling window: 19 October to 29 October 2026
- Choices auto-lock at 11:45 PM on 29 October 2026 — no changes after this time

Provisional Merit List and Allotment
The Provisional Merit List will be published on 27 October 2026. This list shows all candidates who have submitted valid applications and paid the application fee, ranked by their NEET PG score and category. Your position on this list determines your eligibility for seat allotment. If you are not on the merit list, it means your application was incomplete, your fee was not received, or you do not meet the eligibility criteria — contact the board immediately if you believe this is an error.
The Provisional Allotment List (Round 1) will be published on 2 November 2026. This list shows which seat (college, specialty, category quota) has been allotted to each candidate. You must check this list carefully to confirm your allotment. If you are allotted a seat, you must proceed to the next steps (printing the allotment letter, paying the tuition fee, and reporting for document verification) by the specified deadlines.
- Provisional Merit List published: 27 October 2026

After Allotment: Printing, Fee Payment, and Reporting
If your name appears on the Provisional Allotment List on 2 November 2026, you must take the following actions in sequence. First, print your allotment letter online between 3 November and 6 November 2026 (until 1:00 PM). This letter confirms your allotted seat and is mandatory for reporting.

The tuition fee payment window is 3 November to 6 November 2026 (until 3:00 PM). Third, report in person at the allotted college desk at the Academic Block, SMS Medical College, Jaipur, between 3 November and 6 November 2026, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Common Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected
Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable errors. Here are the most common traps:
1. **Incomplete application form**: Both Part 1 and Part 2 must be fully filled. If you leave any field blank or incomplete, your application will be rejected. Do not assume you can fill it later — submit only when the entire form is complete.
2. **Missing or late application fee payment**: The fee must be paid online through the website by 23 October 2026, 5:00 PM. If you pay after 5:00 PM, it will not be accepted. Bank delays are not an excuse — pay at least 1–2 days before the deadline.
3. **Forgetting the security deposit**: The security amount is separate from the application fee. Many candidates pay the application fee and forget to deposit the security amount. You must deposit it between 19 and 29 October 2026, 5:00 PM. If you do not deposit it, you will not be eligible for allotment.
4. **Not uploading documents for Senior Demonstrators or In-Service candidates**: If you are a Senior Demonstrator or In-Service candidate and do not upload the required documents during application, your application will be rejected or your allotment will be cancelled later.
5. **Missing the choice-filling deadline**: Choices auto-lock at 11:45 PM on 29 October 2026. If you do not fill and lock your choices by this time, you will not be allotted any seat in Round 1.
6. **Paying tuition fee in cash or by cheque**: The tuition fee must be paid via NEFT or RTGS only. If you pay by any other method, it will not be accepted, and your admission will be cancelled.
7. **Not reporting on time or with incomplete documents**: You must report between 3 and 6 November 2026, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with all original documents, bonds, and photocopies. If you miss this window or arrive without the required documents, your seat will be cancelled.

Both fees are subject to applicable transaction charges. The fee is non-refundable — you will not get it back under any circumstance.
What is the security deposit, and how is it different from the application fee?
The security deposit is a separate amount held by the board to ensure you join the allotted seat. It is not the same as the application fee. The security amount varies: ₹1,00,000 for government seats (MD/MS/DNB/Diploma), ₹2,00,000 for MD/MS management seats in government society colleges and RUHS CMS, and ₹5,00,000 for MD/MS in private colleges. You must deposit it between 19 and 29 October 2026, 5:00 PM, in a single transaction.
What happens if I do not deposit the security amount by 29 October?
If you do not deposit the security amount by 29 October 2026, 5:00 PM, you will not be eligible for seat allotment in Round 1. The security deposit is mandatory, and missing this deadline is a permanent loss for this round. You may be eligible for later rounds, but you cannot participate in Round 1 allotment without the security deposit.
When do I fill my college and specialty choices, and what happens if I miss the deadline?
You can fill your college and specialty choices between 19 October and 29 October 2026. Your choices will be automatically locked at 11:45 PM on 29 October 2026, and you cannot change them after this time. If you do not fill and lock your choices by 11:45 PM on 29 October, you will not be allotted any seat in Round 1. Plan carefully and submit your choices well before the deadline.

If you are a Senior Demonstrator, you must upload specific documents during the application form filling. These documents will be verified online by the DME (Director of Medical Education). Check the Information Bulletin on the counselling website to see the exact list of required documents. Do not skip this step — failure to upload these documents will result in rejection of your application or cancellation of your allotment.
What if I do not see my name on the Provisional Merit List published on 27 October?
If your name is not on the Provisional Merit List, it means your application was incomplete, your application fee was not received, or you do not meet the eligibility criteria. Contact the board immediately at chairmanneetpg2026@gmail.com or visit the counselling website to clarify the issue. Do not wait — the allotment process moves quickly, and delays in resolving this may cost you a seat.
When does the academic session start, and what if I cannot report by 6 November?
The academic session commences on 20 November 2026. You must report for document verification and fee payment between 3 and 6 November 2026, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Yes, the notice states that further rounds will be conducted after Round 1. However, the detailed programme for further rounds (Round 2, Round 3, etc.) will be announced later on the counselling website. Candidates are advised to visit the website regularly for updates.
