The Rajasthan NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission Board has opened a resignation window for candidates who were allotted seats in MCC Round-3. If you received an allotment in Round-3 and wish to resign from that seat, you have exactly two days — 2nd and 3rd October 2026 — to do so. This is a critical window: if you miss it, you will be locked into your Round-3 allotted seat. The process requires you to produce your MCC Round-3 allotment letter and forfeit your security deposit. This notice is important if you are considering upgradation in a later round or if you wish to exit the counselling process entirely.
MCC Round-3 allotted candidates can resign only on 2–3 October 2026 by submitting their allotment letter and forfeiting the security deposit; after this window closes, resignation is not permitted.

Unlock My College ListWhat is this resignation window?
This is a two-day window during which candidates who received an allotment in MCC Round-3 can formally resign from their allotted seat. Resignation means you are giving up the seat you were allotted and withdrawing from the counselling process for that round.
The window is open only on 2nd and 3rd October 2026. After 3rd October, no resignations will be accepted. This is a strict deadline — there are no extensions or late submissions.
Resignation is different from not joining. If you are allotted a seat but do not join the college, you may still be considered locked into that seat unless you formally resign during this window. Formal resignation requires you to physically submit your allotment letter and forfeit your security deposit.
Who is eligible to resign?
Only candidates who received an allotment in MCC Round-3 are eligible to resign during this window. If you were allotted in Round-1 or Round-2 and did not participate in Round-3, this notice does not apply to you.
You must have your MCC Round-3 allotment letter. This is the official document issued by the counselling board confirming your allotted seat, college, and category. Without this letter, your resignation cannot be processed.
There are no other eligibility restrictions mentioned. Whether you joined the college or not, whether you are a general or reserved category candidate, whether you are an NRI or domestic candidate — if you have an MCC Round-3 allotment letter, you can resign.
Important dates and timing
The resignation window opens on 2nd October 2026 and closes on 3rd October 2026. These are the only two days on which resignations will be accepted.
The notice does not specify the exact time window (e.g., 9 AM to 5 PM) on these two days. You should check the counselling website (ug.neetrajasthan.com) or contact SMS Medical College Jaipur directly to confirm the exact hours during which you can submit your resignation.
After 3rd October 2026 at the end of business hours, the resignation window will close permanently. Any resignation submitted after this date will not be accepted.
- Resignation window: 2nd and 3rd October 2026 only
- No extensions or late submissions permitted
- Exact time window on these days: check the counselling website
What documents do you need to resign?
You must produce your MCC Round-3 allotment letter. This is the official document issued by the counselling board after the Round-3 allotment was declared. It shows your roll number, allotted college, course (MBBS or BDS), category, and seat type.
The allotment letter is the only document mentioned in the notice as required for resignation. However, it is wise to also carry your NEET admit card and any other identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, or passport) to verify your identity at the resignation counter.
Do not lose or damage your allotment letter. If you have misplaced it, contact the counselling board immediately to request a duplicate before the resignation window closes.

The security deposit forfeiture — what it means
When you resign, you must forfeit your security deposit. This means the money you paid as a security deposit when you registered for counselling will not be returned to you.
The security deposit is a sum of money (typically ₹1,00,000 or ₹50,000 depending on your category and college type) that you paid upfront to participate in counselling. It is held by the counselling board as a guarantee that you will comply with the rules.
By resigning and forfeiting the deposit, you are accepting that this money will not be refunded. This is a financial consequence of resignation, so consider it carefully before you decide to resign. If you are unsure about the exact amount of your security deposit, check your counselling registration receipt or contact the board.
- Security deposit will NOT be refunded upon resignation
- This is a financial penalty for withdrawing from the allotted seat
- Confirm the exact amount of your deposit before resigning
How to resign — step-by-step process
The notice does not provide a detailed step-by-step process for resignation. However, based on standard counselling procedures, you will likely need to visit the counselling office or a designated resignation counter at SMS Medical College Jaipur, Rajasthan.
Bring your MCC Round-3 allotment letter and any identity proof. Submit the allotment letter to the resignation counter. The staff will verify your details, confirm that you are eligible to resign, and process your resignation.
Once your resignation is processed, you will receive a resignation acknowledgment or receipt. Keep this document for your records. After resignation, you will no longer be considered for any further rounds of counselling unless you re-register (if permitted by the board).
For exact details on where to submit your resignation (office address, counter location, or online portal), check the counselling website ug.neetrajasthan.com or call SMS Medical College Jaipur directly.
- Visit the counselling office or designated resignation counter
- Bring your MCC Round-3 allotment letter and identity proof
- Submit the allotment letter and confirm forfeiture of security deposit
- Receive and keep the resignation acknowledgment
- Confirm the exact location and process on the counselling website
What happens after you resign?
Once your resignation is processed, your MCC Round-3 allotted seat will be vacated and made available for other candidates. The seat will be added to the vacant seat pool for any subsequent rounds of counselling (if they are conducted).
You will no longer be eligible to participate in Round-3 or any further rounds of counselling in the 2026-27 admission cycle, unless the board permits re-registration (which is not mentioned in this notice).
Your security deposit will be forfeited and will not be refunded. If you had joined the college after Round-3 allotment, you will need to formally withdraw from the college as well (separate process from counselling resignation).
- Your seat becomes vacant and is available for other candidates
- You cannot participate in further counselling rounds in 2026-27
- Security deposit is forfeited and not refunded
- If you had joined a college, you must also withdraw from the college separately
Why would you resign from an MCC Round-3 allotment?
Some candidates resign because they received a better allotment in a later round (e.g., Round-4 or Stray Vacancy Round) and want to upgrade. However, this notice only permits resignation during 2–3 October. If a later round is announced after this date, you will not be able to resign from Round-3.
Others resign because they are not satisfied with the college or course allotted in Round-3 and prefer to exit the counselling process entirely.

See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
A few candidates resign because they have already joined another college (e.g., through a different counselling process or a private college) and do not need the Round-3 seat.
Before you resign, carefully consider whether you will have another seat or admission secured. Resignation is final for the 2026-27 cycle, and you cannot re-enter counselling after resigning.
- Seeking upgradation in a later round (if one is announced)
- Dissatisfaction with the allotted college or course
- Already secured admission elsewhere
- Personal or financial reasons
Common mistakes that lead to rejection
Submitting the resignation after 3rd October 2026: The window is strictly two days. Any submission after this date will be rejected, regardless of the reason for the delay.
Not bringing the original MCC Round-3 allotment letter: The notice explicitly states that the allotment letter must be produced. A photocopy or a screenshot may not be accepted. Bring the original document.
Confusing Round-3 allotment with Round-1 or Round-2 allotment: You can only resign from Round-3 during this window. If you have an allotment from an earlier round, this window does not apply to you.
Assuming you can resign online: The notice does not mention an online resignation process. You will likely need to visit the counselling office in person. Do not assume you can resign via email or the website.
Not understanding that the security deposit is forfeited: Some candidates mistakenly believe they can recover the security deposit after resignation. This is not true — the deposit is forfeited as a penalty.
- ⚠️ Missing the 2–3 October deadline — resignation will be rejected
- ⚠️ Not bringing the original allotment letter — submission will be rejected
- ⚠️ Confusing Round-3 with earlier rounds — you may resign from the wrong round
- ⚠️ Attempting online resignation without confirmation — the process may be in-person only
- ⚠️ Expecting security deposit refund — it will be forfeited
What if you don't resign during this window?
If you do not resign during 2–3 October 2026, you will remain locked into your MCC Round-3 allotment. This means you are considered to have accepted the seat, and you will be expected to join the college.
If you do not join the college by the joining deadline (which will be specified in a separate notice), you may face consequences such as forfeiture of the security deposit, cancellation of your admission, or being blacklisted from future counselling rounds.
If you later change your mind and want to resign after 3rd October, you will not be able to do so through this official window. You may have to approach the college directly to request withdrawal, which is a separate and more complicated process.
- You remain locked into your Round-3 allotment
- You are expected to join the college by the joining deadline
- Non-joining may result in forfeiture of security deposit and blacklisting
- Late resignation is not permitted through the official window

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Can I resign from my MCC Round-3 allotment after 3rd October 2026?
No. The resignation window is strictly limited to 2nd and 3rd October 2026. After 3rd October, no resignations will be accepted. If you miss this window, you will remain locked into your Round-3 allotment and will be expected to join the college.
What is the security deposit forfeiture, and will I get my money back?
The security deposit is the money you paid upfront to participate in counselling (typically ₹1,00,000 or ₹50,000). When you resign, you forfeit this deposit, meaning it will NOT be refunded to you. This is a financial penalty for withdrawing from your allotted seat.
Do I need to bring any documents to resign, or can I resign online?
You must bring your original MCC Round-3 allotment letter. The notice does not mention an online resignation process, so you will likely need to visit the counselling office in person. Bring your allotment letter and identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, or passport) for verification.
I was allotted in Round-1 or Round-2, not Round-3. Can I resign during this window?
No. This resignation window is only for candidates who received an allotment in MCC Round-3. If you were allotted in an earlier round, this window does not apply to you. Check if there is a separate resignation window for your round.
What happens to my seat after I resign?
Your seat will be vacated and added to the vacant seat pool. It will be available for other candidates in any subsequent rounds of counselling (if they are conducted). You will no longer be eligible to participate in further rounds of counselling in the 2026-27 cycle.
Can I resign if I have already joined the college after Round-3 allotment?
This notice only covers resignation from the counselling allotment. If you have already joined the college, you will need to follow a separate withdrawal process with the college itself. Contact the college directly to understand the withdrawal procedure and any consequences.
Where do I go to resign, and what are the exact timings?
The notice does not specify the exact location or timings. You should visit the official counselling website (ug.neetrajasthan.com) or contact SMS Medical College Jaipur directly to confirm the resignation counter location and the hours on 2nd and 3rd October 2026.
If I resign, can I re-enter counselling later in the 2026-27 cycle?
The notice does not mention re-registration or re-entry after resignation. Once you resign, you will likely be out of the 2026-27 counselling process. Contact the board to confirm whether re-entry is possible.
What if I lose my allotment letter before the resignation window?
Contact the counselling board immediately to request a duplicate allotment letter. Do this well before 2nd October so you have the document ready for resignation. Without the allotment letter, your resignation cannot be processed.
Why would I want to resign from a Round-3 allotment?
Common reasons include: seeking upgradation in a later round (if one is announced), dissatisfaction with the allotted college or course, or having already secured admission elsewhere. However, carefully consider whether you will have another seat before resigning, as resignation is final for the 2026-27 cycle.
If you have an MCC Round-3 allotment and wish to resign, you must do so on 2nd or 3rd October 2026 by submitting your allotment letter and forfeiting your security deposit. After 3rd October, resignation will not be permitted. Visit ug.neetrajasthan.com or contact SMS Medical College Jaipur to confirm the exact location and timings of the resignation counter. Do not delay — this is a strict two-day window.
