The Office of the Chairman, NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission/Counselling Board-2026 (based at SMS Medical College, Jaipur) has published the Final Seat Matrix for Round 1 of Rajasthan's state MBBS and BDS counselling. This is a detailed, college-by-college and category-by-category count of every seat that will be offered in Round 1 — across government medical colleges, RUHS-administered management seats, NRI-quota seats, and private medical and dental colleges. It does not open a new application window or announce a result; it is the seat-availability data candidates need before they fill or lock their choices for Round 1. In total, the matrix lists 7,433 MBBS seats and 1,536 BDS seats within Rajasthan's state quota.
This matrix tells you exactly how many MBBS or BDS seats are on offer in Round 1 at each Rajasthan college, broken down by category — use it to plan and verify your choices before you fill or lock preferences.
What exactly has been released
The document is a seat matrix — a large table that lists, for every medical and dental college participating in Rajasthan's state counselling, how many seats are available in each reservation category for Round 1 of admissions. It covers MBBS seats at 33 government colleges (including SMS Medical College Jaipur, RNT Udaipur, SP Medical Bikaner, JLN Ajmer, SN Jodhpur, both ESIC colleges, RUHS CMS Jaipur and 24 newer district government medical colleges), plus 'Management' quota seats at RUHS/RAJMES-run colleges, NRI-quota seats, and both 'General' and 'Management' seats at 18 private MBBS colleges. It also covers BDS seats at 2 government dental colleges and 15 private dental colleges.
These are state-quota seats — the seats counselled by the Rajasthan board itself. Any All India Quota (AIQ) seats at government colleges are counselled separately by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and are not part of this matrix.

Understanding the different 'seat types' in the matrix
Each college in the matrix can appear under more than one heading, because the same college may have seats of different types. Knowing what each type means matters when you fill choices, because eligibility and fee structure can differ between them.
- Government Seat: seats at government-run medical/dental colleges, filled purely on NEET merit through the state counselling board, at government fee rates.
- RUHS CMS & RAJMES Management Seat: seats at colleges run under the Rajasthan University of Health Sciences College Management Society / RAJMES society structure, filled through the same counselling but under a 'management' seat head — check the specific fee structure for these seats before choosing them.
- NRI Seat: seats meant for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category candidates. Notice these rows are not split by category (Unreserved/EWS/OBC/SC/ST etc.) — they are shown only as a single total per college, since NRI seats are not reserved by caste category.
- Private College – General Seat: the bulk of seats at private medical/dental colleges, filled on merit within each reservation category.
- Private College – Management Seat: a separate, usually smaller, set of seats at the same private colleges, also split by category but generally carrying different fee terms set by the college/management.
How the category columns work — and where to be careful
The matrix organises seats under seven broad reservation categories: Unreserved (UR), Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Most Backward Classes (MBC), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and a category shown as 'SA' in the matrix. Within each of these seven categories, the matrix further splits the count into two columns (for example URB/URG, OBB/OBG, SCB/SCG) — reflecting a further sub-division used by the Rajasthan board for its counselling categories.
This is exactly the kind of detail that trips up candidates: your certificate must show the correct category and sub-group that matches the column you are relying on. If your caste/EWS/PwD certificate does not carry the exact category label used in Rajasthan's reservation rules, a seat allotted to you under that category can be cancelled later for a document mismatch. Before choice-filling, match your own certificate wording against the category headings the board uses — and if in doubt, confirm with the counselling helpdesk rather than assuming.
MBBS seats — category-wise total across all colleges
Adding up every government, RUHS/RAJMES management, NRI, private-general and private-management seat across all 119 MBBS college-rows in the matrix gives these category-wise totals for the state.
| Category | Sub-column 1 | Sub-column 2 | Category total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) | 1,880 | 627 | 2,507 |
| EWS | 522 | 175 | 697 |
| MBC | 259 | 89 | 348 |
| OBC | 1,097 | 366 | 1,463 |
| SC | 835 | 279 | 1,114 |
| ST | 344 | 115 | 459 |
| SA | 282 | 95 | 377 |
BDS seats — category-wise total across all colleges
The same category structure applies to BDS seats across the 2 government and 15 private dental colleges (General + Management seats).
| Category | Sub-column 1 | Sub-column 2 | Category total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) | 414 | 137 | 551 |
| EWS | 116 | 38 | 154 |
| MBC | 58 | 19 | 77 |
| OBC | 243 | 81 | 324 |
| SC | 186 | 60 | 246 |
| ST | 75 | 26 | 101 |
| SA | 63 | 20 | 83 |
What this means for your Round 1 choices
This matrix is your reference document while filling or verifying Round 1 preferences on the counselling portal. Before you lock your choices, check the exact seat count for the specific college and category you are targeting — do not rely on last year's numbers or on what a college's website says, because seat numbers for individual colleges do change slightly year to year and even round to round.
If you are applying under the NRI quota, remember these seats are shown as a single total per college with no category split — so plan your college order based only on the overall NRI seat count at each institution.
If you are eyeing a 'Management' seat — either the RUHS CMS/RAJMES type or a private college's management seat — separately confirm the fee structure and any additional bond/agreement conditions directly with the college or the counselling board, since these usually cost more than General/Government seats and are not detailed in this seat-count document.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Is this the seat matrix for the whole NEET UG 2026 season or just Round 1?
It is specifically titled the Final Seat Matrix for Round 1 of Rajasthan's state MBBS/BDS counselling. Seat numbers can change in later rounds due to seat surrender, upgrades or new recognitions, so always check the latest matrix released before each round.
How many total MBBS seats are available in Rajasthan's state quota for Round 1?
7,433 MBBS seats across government colleges, RUHS CMS/RAJMES management seats, NRI-quota seats, and private colleges' general and management seats.
How many BDS seats are available?
1,536 BDS seats across 2 government dental colleges and 15 private dental colleges (general plus management seats).
Does this matrix include All India Quota (AIQ) seats?
No. This matrix covers only the state-quota seats counselled by the Rajasthan NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission/Counselling Board. AIQ seats at government colleges are handled separately by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).
What is the difference between a 'Government Seat' and a 'Management Seat' at the same college?
Both are filled through the same merit-based state counselling, but they can carry different fee structures — Management seats (whether at RUHS/RAJMES-run colleges or private colleges) are typically costlier than Government or General seats. Check the exact fee for the seat type before choosing it.
Why don't NRI seats show a category-wise break-up?
NRI-quota seats are meant for candidates admitted under the Non-Resident Indian category and are not reserved by caste/EWS/PwD category, so the matrix lists only a single seat total per college for this quota.
What is the 'SA' category shown in the matrix?
The notice uses 'SA' as one of its reservation category headings alongside Unreserved, EWS, MBC, OBC, SC and ST. The exact eligibility rules for this category are set by Rajasthan's reservation policy — candidates should confirm with the counselling authority that their certificate matches this category before relying on it.
Which college has the most MBBS seats?
Among government colleges, SMS Medical College, Jaipur has the highest count with 209 government seats. Among private colleges, Balvir Singh Tomar Institute (Jaipur), Mahatma Gandhi Medical College (Sitapura, Jaipur) and NIMS Jaipur each list 250 general seats — the highest among private institutions in this matrix.
Should I trust the seat numbers on a college's own website instead of this matrix?
No. For Round 1 counselling purposes, rely on the official Final Seat Matrix released by the counselling board, since this is the version used for actual seat allotment.
Download and study the full seat matrix on the official Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal, and cross-check the exact seat count, category and seat type for every college you plan to choose before you fill or lock your Round 1 preferences. If your reservation category or certificate does not clearly match one of the columns used in this matrix, clarify with the counselling board's helpdesk before counselling day, not after allotment.
