This is a mandatory verification notice for three specific candidate categories in Rajasthan's NEET UG 2026 counselling process. The Rajasthan NEET UG Counselling Board, operating from SMS Medical College in Jaipur, has called candidates to verify their category status and authenticate their supporting documents in person.
Category verification is a critical step: it confirms that you genuinely belong to the category (NRI, Defence, or Paramilitary) under which you applied, and that your documents are genuine and complete. Without successful verification, your seat allotment can be cancelled or delayed.
The notice also clarifies that if you have already been verified on any of three earlier dates (19 August, 24 August, or 9 September 2026), you are exempt from attending on 5 October and do not need to come again.
Who must attend the verification?
Three categories of candidates are called for verification on 5 October 2026:
1. **NRI (Non-Resident Indian) Category**: Candidates who applied under the NRI quota. This includes Indian citizens living abroad, Persons of Indian Origin (PIO), and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) as per NEET eligibility rules.
2. **Defence Personnel**: Active or retired military personnel (Army, Navy, Air Force) who are eligible for the Defence category quota in medical admissions.
3. **Paramilitary Personnel**: Members of paramilitary forces such as CRPF, BSF, ITBP, SSB, and similar central armed police forces, as well as their dependents where applicable.
If you applied under any of these three categories and have not yet been verified, you must attend on 5 October 2026. If you were already verified on 19 August, 24 August, or 9 September 2026, you are exempt and should not attend.

What happens during verification?
During the verification process, the board will:
1. Check your identity and confirm you are the person who applied.
2. Verify that your category claim (NRI, Defence, or Paramilitary) is genuine and supported by authentic documents.
3. Authenticate all documents you have submitted — originals will be checked against photocopies in your application file.
4. Confirm that your family tree and dependent details (if applicable) are accurate and match your documents.
5. Update your file with a verification stamp or certificate confirming that your category has been verified.
The entire process typically takes 15–30 minutes per candidate, depending on the complexity of your documents. After verification, you will receive confirmation that your category status is locked for the counselling process. This confirmation is essential for seat allotment.

Important traps and common mistakes
**Trap 1: Wrong or incomplete documents**
Many candidates bring photocopies instead of originals, or forget key documents like the Performa V (Family Tree) or Passport copies. The board will not accept incomplete documentation. If even one required document is missing, your verification may be rejected or postponed. Check the full list above and bring everything.
**Trap 2: Outdated or invalid certificates**
NRI/OCI/PIO certificates must be valid and current. If your certificate has expired or is not recognized by the Indian government, it will be rejected. Similarly, Discharge Certificates must be in the correct format (IAFY-1940). Verify the validity of your certificate before attending.
**Trap 3: Family tree discrepancies**
If your Performa V (Family Tree) does not match your passport, Aadhaar, or other identity documents, verification will fail. Ensure all family members listed in the family tree are correctly named and their relationships are accurately described. Any mismatch will raise red flags.
**Trap 4: Missing Performa forms**
Performa III (self-declaration), Performa IV (family details), and Performa V (family tree) are mandatory. These are not optional. If you have not filled these forms, do so immediately before 5 October.
**Trap 5: Attending if already verified**
If you were verified on 19 August, 24 August, or 9 September 2026, do NOT attend on 5 October. Attending unnecessarily may cause confusion in the board's records. Only attend if you have NOT been verified before.
**Trap 6: Bringing dependents without proper documentation**
If you are claiming a dependent (e.g., a child of a Defence personnel), you must bring the child's Class 10th Certificate, Aadhaar Card, and Dependent Card. Without these, the dependent claim will be rejected.
**Trap 7: Incorrect Performa details**
Ensure that all information in Performa III, IV, and V matches your NEET application and identity documents exactly. Any spelling errors, date mismatches, or inconsistencies will cause rejection.
- Bring originals, not photocopies
- Ensure all certificates are valid and current
- Family tree must match all identity documents
- All Performa forms (III, IV, V) are mandatory
- Do not attend if already verified on 19 Aug, 24 Aug, or 9 Sep
- Dependent documentation must be complete
- All details must match across all documents
Verification location details
The verification will take place at the **New Academic Block of SMS Medical College, Jaipur**. SMS Medical College is located in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and is one of the oldest and most prestigious medical colleges in the state.

• Email: chairmanrajneetug2026@gmail.com
If you have any doubts about the verification process, your category status, or the documents required, contact the board office using the above details. It is better to clarify before 5 October than to arrive unprepared.

What to do if you cannot attend on 5 October?
The notice does not mention any provision for postponement or alternative dates. However, if you have a genuine emergency (medical, family, or travel), contact the board office immediately at the phone number or email provided above. Explain your situation and request a postponement in writing. Do not simply skip the verification — this will result in your category claim being rejected and your seat allotment being cancelled.
If you are abroad or unable to travel to Jaipur, contact the board to inquire if any alternative arrangement (such as video verification or submission of notarized documents) is possible. However, based on the notice, in-person verification appears to be mandatory.
After verification: what happens next?
Once your category verification is complete and approved, the board will update your file and confirm your category status. This confirmation is locked into your counselling record and will be used during seat allotment.
Your verified category status determines which seats you are eligible for during counselling. For example, NRI candidates are eligible for NRI quota seats, Defence personnel for Defence quota seats, and so on. Without successful verification, you may lose access to these reserved seats.
Keep the verification confirmation receipt or certificate safe. You may need to produce it during document verification at the college after seat allotment, or during admission.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Do I have to attend the verification on 5 October if I was already verified on 19 August, 24 August, or 9 September 2026?
No. The notice explicitly states that candidates who have already completed category verification on any of these three dates do not need to attend on 5 October 2026. You are exempt and should not come again. However, if you are unsure whether you were verified, contact the board office to confirm your status before 5 October.
What documents do I absolutely must bring for verification?
You must bring: (1) Application Form Part – I, (2) NEET 2026 Score Card, (3) Valid NRI/OCI/PIO Certificate (if applicable), (4) Performa III, IV, and V (family tree), (5) Passport copies of all family tree persons, and (6) Category-specific documents (Discharge Certificate for Defence, PPO, Widow Identity Card, ECHS Card, etc.). Bring originals, not photocopies. Missing documents will result in rejection.
What is Performa V and why is it important?
Performa V is the Family Tree form. It lists all your family members, their names, relationships, and details. This is mandatory for NRI and Defence category candidates because the board needs to verify that your family composition matches your identity documents and that all dependents are correctly documented. Any discrepancy between your family tree and your passport or Aadhaar will cause verification to fail.
I am a Defence personnel's dependent. What extra documents do I need?
If you are a dependent of Defence personnel (e.g., child, widow, or parent), you must bring: (1) Discharge Certificate or Discharge Book (IAFY-1940), (2) PPO (Pension Payment Order), (3) Your Class 10th Certificate, (4) Aadhaar Card, (5) Dependent Card, and (6) if applicable, Battle Casualty Certificate (for widows of soldiers killed in action) or Death Certificate (for dependents of deceased personnel). All these documents must be originals.
What time should I arrive on 5 October?
The notice states verification begins at 10:00 AM onwards. Arrive early (by 9:30 AM or earlier) to avoid long queues. The notice does not specify an end time, but it is advisable to arrive in the morning to complete verification quickly.
What happens if my documents are incomplete or incorrect?
If your documents are incomplete or incorrect, your verification will be rejected or postponed. You will be asked to resubmit with complete and correct documents. This delay can affect your counselling schedule and seat allotment. Ensure all documents are correct, valid, and complete before attending.
Can I send someone else (a parent or friend) to do the verification on my behalf?
No. The notice requires you to be present in person. Proxy or representative verification is not permitted. You must attend the verification yourself with all your original documents.
What if I am abroad and cannot travel to Jaipur for verification?
The notice does not mention any provision for overseas candidates or alternative verification methods. Contact the board office immediately at 0141-2619020 or chairmanrajneetug2026@gmail.com to inquire if any alternative arrangement (such as video verification or notarized documents) is possible. However, based on the notice, in-person verification at SMS Medical College, Jaipur, appears to be mandatory.
What is the difference between NRI, OCI, and PIO categories?
NRI (Non-Resident Indian) refers to Indian citizens living abroad. OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) refers to foreign nationals of Indian origin who have obtained OCI status. PIO (Person of Indian Origin) is an older category (largely replaced by OCI). All three are eligible for the NRI quota in medical admissions, but you must have a valid certificate from the Indian government proving your status. Bring your valid certificate to verification.
If I am a serving military officer, what documents do I need?
If you are currently serving in the military, bring: (1) Serving Certificate issued by your Commanding Officer, (2) Certified True Copy (CTC) of the Sheet Roll showing your family/dependent details and relevant Part II Orders, (3) All other mandatory documents (Application Form, NEET Score Card, Performa III, IV, V, and family tree passports). Do not bring a Discharge Certificate — that is only for retired or ex-servicemen.
What is a Performa III and Performa IV?
Performa III is a self-declaration form in which you declare your category (NRI, Defence, Paramilitary) and confirm that all information in your application is true and correct. Performa IV is a family details form in which you list all family members, their names, dates of birth, and relationships. Both are mandatory and must be filled accurately and signed. Any false declaration can lead to rejection and legal consequences.
What happens after my category is verified?
After successful verification, the board will update your file with a verification confirmation. Your category status is then locked into your counselling record and used during seat allotment. You become eligible for seats reserved for your category (NRI quota, Defence quota, etc.). Keep your verification confirmation receipt safe — you may need to produce it at the college during admission.
If you are an NRI, Defence, or Paramilitary candidate and have NOT been verified on 19 August, 24 August, or 9 September 2026, you must attend in person on 5 October 2026 at 10:00 AM at the New Academic Block, SMS Medical College, Jaipur. Bring all original documents listed above — incomplete documentation will result in rejection. If you have already been verified on any of the three earlier dates, do not attend. For any questions, contact the board at 0141-2619020 or chairmanrajneetug2026@gmail.com.
