Unlock My College ListWhat is the Seat Matrix and Why It Matters
The seat matrix is an official table that lists every postgraduate medical seat available in Rajasthan for the 2026-27 academic year. It shows how many seats exist for each specialty (MD Anaesthesiology, MS General Surgery, MD Paediatrics, etc.), at each college, and under each quota category (government, society, and private management).
This matrix is your roadmap. Before you log in to the counselling portal and choose your specialties and colleges, you must study this matrix to understand: (1) which specialties have seats at which colleges, (2) how many seats are available in each category, and (3) which colleges and specialties match your rank and preferences. Without this information, you may waste your choices on unavailable combinations.
Total Seats Available: Government, Society, Private and Diploma
The Rajasthan NEET PG 2026 Round 1 seat matrix includes:
• **990 MD/MS seats** across government, society-run (RUHS-CMS) and private colleges combined • **137 Post-MBBS Diploma seats** (Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Anaesthesia, Ophthalmology, ENT, TB & Chest, Radiology, Family Medicine) reserved for regular in-service government employees only • **2 DNB (3-year) seats** in Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine, also reserved for regular in-service government candidates only
The 990 MD/MS seats are distributed across 8 government colleges, 1 society college (RUHS-CMS Jaipur), 8 additional government colleges (GMC Bharatpur, GMC Bhilwara, GMC Churu, GMC Dungarpur, GMC Pali, JMC Jhalawar), and 9 private medical colleges.
Government and Society Colleges: 322 MD/MS Seats

**Newer Government Colleges (GMC Bharatpur, GMC Bhilwara, GMC Churu, GMC Dungarpur, GMC Pali, JMC Jhalawar):** These six colleges together offer 30 seats. These are smaller institutions with limited seat availability.

Private Medical Colleges: 668 MD/MS Seats
Private medical colleges in Rajasthan offer **668 MD/MS seats** in Round 1. These seats are distributed across 9 private institutions. The private sector has significantly more seats than the government sector, but these seats are typically filled through management quota and may have higher fees.
Major private colleges include Pacific Institute of Medical Sciences (Udaipur), Pacific Medical College & Hospital (Udaipur), Geetanjali Medical College & Hospital (Udaipur), Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital (Jaipur), National Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (NIMS) Jaipur, Jaipur National University Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, American International Institute of Medical Sciences (Bedwas), Dr S S Tantia Medical College Hospital & Research Centre (Sri Ganganagar), and Ananta Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre (Rajsamand).
Private college seats are typically available under 'management quota' and may have different fee structures and eligibility criteria than government seats. Check the counselling brochure for private college fee details and any additional eligibility requirements.
Specialty-Wise Seat Distribution: Which Specialties Have the Most Seats
The seat matrix lists 32 different MD and MS specialties. Some specialties have many more seats than others. Understanding this distribution helps you make realistic choices based on your rank.

Official round-wise closing ranks with fee and stipend, matched to your rank.
**High-seat specialties (more competitive, but more seats available):** • MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology: 102 seats total • MD General Medicine: 100 seats total • MD Anaesthesiology: 101 seats total • MS General Surgery: 75 seats total • MS Orthopaedics: 55 seats total • MD Paediatrics: 72 seats total • MD Pathology: 68 seats total
**Low-seat specialties (fewer seats, may be harder to secure):** • MD Emergency Medicine: 4 seats total • MD Tropical Medicine: 1 seat total • MD Geriatrics: 2 seats total • MD Palliative Medicine: 5 seats total • MD Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation: 5 seats total • MD Hospital Administration, MD Family Medicine, MD Laboratory Medicine, MD Nuclear Medicine, MS Traumatology & Surgery: 0 seats in Round 1
Specialties with zero seats in Round 1 may become available in later rounds or may not be offered in Rajasthan this year. Do not waste a choice on a specialty showing zero seats.
College-Wise Seat Breakdown: Where to Find Your Specialty
The matrix is organized by college. Each college column shows how many seats it offers in each specialty, broken down by quota type (government, society, management). For example:
• **Dr SNMC Jodhpur** offers 14 seats in MD Anaesthesiology (11 government quota, 3 management quota) • **SMS MC Jaipur** offers 12 seats in MD General Medicine (12 government quota) • **RUHS-CMS Jaipur** offers 0 seats in MD Emergency Medicine • **Private colleges combined** offer 149 seats in MD Anaesthesiology across all private institutions
To find your specialty at a specific college, locate the college column, then find your specialty row, and read the number in that cell. If the cell shows 0, that college does not offer that specialty in Round 1.
Quota Types: Government, Society, and Management Seats
The seat matrix breaks down seats into three quota categories:
**Government Quota:** These are seats reserved for candidates from the general population, filled through merit-based counselling. Government quota seats typically have lower fees and are the most sought-after.
**Society Quota (RUHS-CMS):** RUHS-CMS Jaipur is a society-run college. Its 100 seats are allocated separately and may have different fee structures than pure government colleges.
**Management Quota:** These are seats in private colleges and some government colleges reserved for management/private candidates. Management quota seats typically have higher fees and may have different eligibility criteria. The matrix shows management seats separately for each college.
When you register for counselling, you will be eligible for specific quota categories based on your domicile status and other criteria. The counselling brochure will clarify which quotas you can apply for. Do not assume you are eligible for all quota types.
Post-MBBS Diploma Seats: 137 Seats for In-Service Government Doctors
The matrix includes a separate section for **Post-MBBS Diploma seats** (137 total). These are NOT for fresh MBBS graduates. They are reserved exclusively for **regular in-service candidates serving under the Government of Rajasthan**. If you are a government doctor (employed by the state health department), you may be eligible for these seats.
Post-MBBS Diploma specialties available are: Obstetrics & Gynaecology (27 seats), Paediatrics (35 seats), Anaesthesia (22 seats), Ophthalmology (17 seats), ENT (14 seats), TB & Chest (9 seats), Radiology (0 seats), and Family Medicine (13 seats).
These seats are offered at various government district hospitals and medical colleges across Rajasthan. If you are an in-service government doctor, check the Diploma seat matrix carefully and confirm your eligibility with the counselling authority before registering.
- Post-MBBS Diploma Obs & Gyne: 27 seats
- Post-MBBS Diploma Paediatrics: 35 seats
- Post-MBBS Diploma Anaesthesia: 22 seats
- Post-MBBS Diploma Ophthalmology: 17 seats
- Post-MBBS Diploma ENT: 14 seats

- Post-MBBS Diploma Family Medicine: 13 seats
DNB Seats: 2 Seats for In-Service Government Doctors
The matrix includes **2 DNB (3-year) seats** reserved for regular in-service government candidates only. These are offered at Govt. RDBP Jaipuria Hospital, Jaipur, in two specialties: DNB Emergency Medicine (2 seats) and DNB Family Medicine (0 seats).
DNB is a broad-speciality postgraduate qualification equivalent to MD/MS and is recognized by the Medical Council of India. However, these 2 seats are extremely limited and are restricted to government employees. If you are not a regular in-service government doctor, you cannot apply for these seats.
- DNB Emergency Medicine: 2 seats
- DNB Family Medicine: 0 seats
- Location: Govt. RDBP Jaipuria Hospital, Jaipur

How to Read the Seat Matrix: Step-by-Step
The seat matrix is a large table. Here's how to navigate it:
**Step 1: Identify your target specialty.** Find the row corresponding to your desired specialty (e.g., MD General Medicine, MS Orthopaedics). The specialty name is in the leftmost column.
**Step 2: Identify your target college.** Find the column corresponding to your preferred college (e.g., SMS MC Jaipur, Dr SNMC Jodhpur). College names are at the top of the matrix.
**Step 3: Find the intersection.** Where the specialty row and college column meet, you will see a number. This is the total number of seats available for that specialty at that college in that quota category.
**Step 4: Check quota breakdown.** The matrix further breaks down each college's seats into 'Total' (all quotas combined), 'State Quota' (government), and sometimes 'Govt' and 'Mgmt' (management). Read carefully to understand which quota type each seat belongs to.
**Step 5: Cross-reference across colleges.** If your specialty is not available at your first-choice college, scan across the row to find other colleges offering the same specialty. This helps you build a realistic choice list.
**Example:** If you want MD General Medicine at SMS MC Jaipur, find the 'MD (GENERAL MEDICINE)' row and the 'SMS MC Jaipur' column. The intersection shows 12 seats under government quota. This means 12 seats are available for MD General Medicine at SMS MC Jaipur under government quota in Round 1.
Important Traps and Things to Watch Out For
**Trap 1: Zero seats does not mean the specialty will never be offered.** If a specialty shows 0 seats in Round 1, it may become available in Round 2 or later rounds as seats are vacated. Do not assume a specialty is permanently unavailable. Check the counselling schedule for subsequent rounds.
**Trap 2: Private college seats are NOT the same as government seats.** Private college management quota seats have higher fees, different eligibility criteria, and may have different admission processes. Do not confuse private seats with government seats when planning your choices.
**Trap 3: Post-MBBS Diploma and DNB seats are NOT for fresh MBBS graduates.** These seats are reserved exclusively for regular in-service government doctors. If you are a fresh MBBS graduate, you cannot apply for these seats. Attempting to register for these seats will result in rejection.
**Trap 4: The matrix shows 'provisional' seats.** This is a provisional matrix released before counselling begins. The final seat matrix may change slightly due to college mergers, closures, or regulatory changes. Always check for updates from the Rajasthan NEET PG Counselling Board before finalizing your choices.
**Trap 5: Seat availability varies dramatically by specialty and college.** Some specialties at some colleges have only 1 seat. If you rank high but choose a specialty with very few seats, you may not get that specialty even with a good rank. Balance your choices between high-seat and low-seat specialties.
What to Do Next: Using This Matrix for Your Counselling Strategy
Now that you have the seat matrix, use it to plan your counselling strategy:
**1. Identify your realistic specialties.** Based on your NEET PG rank and the seat availability shown in the matrix, identify 3–5 specialties you are likely to get. Do not choose only ultra-competitive specialties with very few seats.
**2. Identify your realistic colleges.** For each specialty, identify which colleges offer it and have reasonable seat counts. Prioritize colleges where you are likely to secure a seat based on your rank.
**3. Build a balanced choice list.** Include a mix of high-preference specialties (even if competitive) and backup specialties (with more seats). This increases your chances of getting a seat in Round 1.
**4. Check the counselling brochure.** The seat matrix alone is not enough. The counselling brochure will provide cutoff scores, merit lists, and detailed eligibility criteria. Study both documents together.
**5. Verify your quota eligibility.** Confirm which quota categories (government, society, management) you are eligible for based on your domicile and other criteria. Do not choose seats you are not eligible for.
**6. Wait for the counselling schedule.** The Rajasthan NEET PG Counselling Board will announce the exact dates for registration, choice submission, and allotment. Mark these dates on your calendar and do not miss any deadline.
