Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 NRI Merit List: 204 Verified Candidates for MBBS/BDS

Rajasthan's NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission/Counselling Board has released a provisional merit list of 204 NRI (Non-Resident Indian) candidates who have successfully completed document verification for MBBS and BDS admission in the 2026-27 session. The verification was conducted on three dates: 19 August 2026, 24 August 2026, and 9 September 2026. This list is valid for counselling Round 2 and includes candidates from Rajasthan and other states who have applied for seats in Rajasthan medical and dental colleges. If your name appears on this list with "Verified" status, you are eligible to participate in the next counselling round. The list is provisional and subject to further scrutiny and change by the competent authority.

What is this list and why does it matter?

This is a provisional merit list of NRI candidates whose documents have been verified by the Rajasthan NEET UG Admission Board. NRI status means you are classified as a Non-Resident Indian for admission purposes — typically because you or your parents hold a foreign passport or have settled abroad. Rajasthan medical and dental colleges reserve a certain number of seats for NRI candidates, and this list determines who is eligible to compete for those seats.

The list covers candidates who applied for MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) courses in Rajasthan colleges. Document verification was completed in three phases (19 August, 24 August, and 9 September 2026), and only candidates who passed verification appear here. The list is marked "provisional" because the authority reserves the right to make further changes after additional scrutiny or reconciliation.

How to find your name on the list

The list contains 204 candidates arranged in merit order (highest NEET score first). Each entry shows: NRI Merit Number (your position on the list), Registration ID (RM followed by numbers), NEET ID, your name, father's name, gender, domicile (state of residence), category (General, OBC NCL, SC, MBC NCL), NEET UG 2026 marks, NEET All-India rank, NRI status, state preference, and verification status.

To find yourself: (1) Look for your Registration ID (starts with RM) or NEET ID in the list. (2) Check that your name, father's name, and gender match exactly. (3) Verify that your Verification Status column shows "Verified (Rajasthan)" or "Verified (Out of Rajasthan)" — this means your documents passed. (4) Note your NRI Merit Number — this is your position on the merit list for seat allocation. (5) If you cannot find your name, it means either your documents were not verified, or you do not qualify as NRI, or there was an error in your application.

• Registration ID (RM + numbers) — your unique identifier in the counselling system
• NEET ID — your national exam registration number
• NEET UG 2026 Marks — your total score out of 720
• NEET AI Rank — your all-India rank based on NEET performance
• Verification Status — must show "Verified" for you to be eligible

Understanding the two NRI categories: Rajasthan preference vs. Out of Rajasthan

The list divides NRI candidates into two groups based on their state preference during application. The first 50 candidates (Merit Numbers 1–50) have "Rajasthan" in the State Preference column and "Verified (Rajasthan)" in the Verification Status. These are NRI candidates who chose to apply for seats in Rajasthan colleges. The remaining 154 candidates (Merit Numbers 51–204) show "Out of Rajasthan" in State Preference and "Verified (Out of Rajasthan)" in Verification Status — these are NRI candidates from other states who also applied for Rajasthan seats.

This distinction matters for seat allocation. Rajasthan-preference NRI candidates are considered first for NRI seats in Rajasthan colleges. Out-of-Rajasthan NRI candidates are considered after, and they may have different seat availability or college options. Your state preference was locked when you submitted your application and cannot be changed now. If you are in the Out of Rajasthan group, you will still participate in counselling, but your seat options may differ from Rajasthan-preference candidates.

• Rajasthan preference: 50 candidates — prioritized for NRI seats in Rajasthan colleges
• Out of Rajasthan preference: 154 candidates — considered after Rajasthan-preference candidates

What "Verified" status means and what happens next

"Verified" status means the Rajasthan Admission Board has examined your documents (NRI certificate, passport, domicile proof, category certificate if applicable, and other required papers) and found them to be in order and genuine. You have passed the document verification stage and are now eligible to participate in counselling Round 2. This is a critical milestone — without verification, you cannot be allotted a seat.

What happens next: (1) The board will announce the counselling schedule for Round 2 (dates not yet published in this notice). (2) You will log into the counselling portal using your Registration ID and password. (3) You will fill in your college and course preferences (MBBS or BDS, and which colleges you prefer). (4) The board will run a merit-based allocation algorithm and allot seats based on your merit rank, preferences, and seat availability. (5) You will receive an allotment letter showing which college and course you have been assigned. (6) You must report to the college on the specified date with original documents for final admission.

• Verified status = eligible for Round 2 counselling
• Not verified = cannot participate in counselling or receive a seat
• Provisional status = subject to further scrutiny; authority can change it

Important: This list is provisional and subject to change

The notice explicitly states: "The Post Document Verification Status is provisional and indicative in nature, and is subject to further verification, scrutiny, reconciliation and change by the competent authority." This means that even though your name appears as "Verified" today, the authority reserves the right to re-examine your documents, cross-check information, or change your status if discrepancies are found.

Reasons your status could change: (1) If your NRI certificate is found to be forged or invalid. (2) If your category certificate (SC, OBC, etc.) does not match your application. (3) If your domicile or other documents are inconsistent. (4) If there is a mismatch between your NEET registration and your counselling application. (5) If the authority discovers you do not actually qualify as NRI. Do not assume your seat is guaranteed just because you are on this list. Keep all your original documents ready and be prepared to produce them at any time during the admission process.

• ⚠️ Status is provisional — not final
• ⚠️ Authority can re-verify and change your status anytime
• ⚠️ Keep all original documents safe and ready
• ✅ Appear for counselling on the announced date with all documents

Merit ranking and how it affects seat allocation

Your position on this list (NRI Merit Number) is determined by your NEET UG 2026 marks, not by the order you applied. The candidate with the highest NEET score is ranked 1st, the next highest is 2nd, and so on. For example, Gul Ayaz (Merit No. 1) scored 511 marks and has NEET AI Rank 75,941. Shourya Dev Choudhary (Merit No. 2) scored 470 marks and has NEET AI Rank 132,746. The merit list goes down to Merit No. 204 (Ibraheem Abdul Rehman Shaikh) with 213 marks and NEET AI Rank 996,205.

During counselling, seats are allotted in merit order. The candidate ranked 1st gets first choice of available colleges and courses. If they choose a seat, it is removed from the pool. The candidate ranked 2nd then chooses from the remaining seats, and so on. This means your rank directly affects your chances of getting your preferred college and course. A higher rank (lower number) gives you more options. A lower rank (higher number) means you choose from what is left after higher-ranked candidates have chosen. Your NEET score is fixed and cannot be changed, so your merit position is final.

• Merit ranking is based on NEET UG 2026 marks (highest to lowest)
• Higher rank (lower number) = more college and course options
• Lower rank (higher number) = fewer options available
• Seats are allotted in strict merit order during counselling

Category-wise breakdown of verified NRI candidates

The list includes candidates from multiple categories: General, OBC NCL (Other Backward Classes, Non-Creamy Layer), SC (Scheduled Caste), and MBC NCL (Most Backward Classes, Non-Creamy Layer). The vast majority are in the General category. For example, among the first 50 Rajasthan-preference candidates, most are General; a few are OBC NCL or SC. This is important because some colleges may have category-wise seat reservations, and your category determines which seats you are eligible for.

If you belong to a reserved category (OBC, SC, MBC), your category certificate must have been verified as part of the document verification process. If there is any error in your category (for example, if you are listed as General but should be OBC), you must report it immediately to the Admission Board before counselling begins. Category changes after counselling has started are typically not allowed. Check your category on this list carefully and match it with your original category certificate.

• General category — largest group on the list
• OBC NCL — Other Backward Classes, Non-Creamy Layer
• SC — Scheduled Caste
• MBC NCL — Most Backward Classes, Non-Creamy Layer
• ⚠️ Category must match your certificate; errors must be reported before counselling

What to do if your name is NOT on the list

If you applied as an NRI candidate but your name does not appear on this list, it means one of the following: (1) Your documents were not verified — they may have been incomplete, incorrect, or not submitted on time. (2) Your NRI status was rejected — the authority determined you do not qualify as NRI based on your documents. (3) Your application was rejected for another reason (e.g., you did not meet NEET eligibility criteria, or there was an error in your registration). (4) There was a technical error in the system.

What you should do: (1) Check the Rajasthan NEET counselling portal (ug.neetrajasthan.com) for any notification or rejection letter explaining why you were not verified. (2) If you believe there was an error, contact the Admission Board office at SMS Medical College, Jaipur, with your Registration ID and NEET ID. (3) Ask if you can submit missing documents or appeal the decision. (4) Do not wait — contact them immediately, as there may be a deadline for appeals. (5) If you are not verified, you cannot participate in this round of counselling, but you may be eligible for future rounds or spot counselling if seats remain unfilled.

• Check the counselling portal for rejection letters or notifications
• Contact the Admission Board immediately with your Registration ID
• Ask if you can submit missing documents or appeal
• Do not assume you are ineligible — clarify the reason for non-verification

Documents you must have ready for counselling and admission

Even though your documents have been verified, you must bring originals to counselling and admission. The Admission Board will cross-check them again, and the college will require them for final admission. Do not lose or misplace any of these documents. If you are missing any, obtain them immediately.

Essential documents to keep safe: (1) NRI certificate or proof of NRI status (passport, visa, or foreign residency proof). (2) NEET admit card and NEET score card. (3) Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates. (4) Category certificate (if applicable — SC, OBC, MBC). (5) Domicile certificate (if applicable). (6) Medical fitness certificate (you may need to get this after allotment). (7) Character certificate from your school or college. (8) Passport-size photographs (4–6 copies). (9) Any other document mentioned in the counselling information brochure. Bring all originals plus 2–3 photocopies of each.

• NRI certificate or proof of NRI status (passport/visa/foreign residency)
• NEET admit card and score card
• Class 10 and 12 certificates and mark sheets
• Category certificate (if SC/OBC/MBC)
• Domicile certificate (if applicable)
• Medical fitness certificate (obtain after allotment)
• Character certificate
• Passport-size photographs (4–6 copies)
• ✅ Bring originals + 2–3 photocopies of each

Common mistakes that can cost you your seat

Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable errors. Here are the most common traps: (1) Not logging into the counselling portal on time — if you miss the preference-filling window, you forfeit your seat. (2) Not filling any preferences — if you leave the preference form blank, the system may not allot you a seat. (3) Filling preferences for courses you are not eligible for (e.g., BDS if you only qualified for MBBS). (4) Not reporting to the college on the specified date — if you don't show up, your seat is cancelled. (5) Bringing incomplete or incorrect documents — if your original documents don't match your application, admission can be rejected.

Additional traps specific to NRI candidates: (1) Your NRI status is re-verified at admission — if your NRI certificate is found to be invalid, you will be rejected. (2) If your category certificate is incorrect or expired, you cannot be admitted. (3) If you are found to not actually be NRI (e.g., you have Indian citizenship), your admission will be cancelled. (4) If your NEET score or rank is found to be incorrect, your allotment can be cancelled. (5) If you do not appear for document verification at the college (even though you passed online verification), you may not be admitted. Always double-check everything and appear in person with all originals.

• ⚠️ Miss the preference-filling deadline = no seat
• ⚠️ Leave preferences blank = no seat
• ⚠️ Don't report to college on time = seat cancelled
• ⚠️ Incomplete or incorrect documents = admission rejected
• ⚠️ NRI status re-verified at admission — invalid certificate = rejected
• ⚠️ Category certificate error = admission cancelled
• ✅ Log in on time, fill preferences carefully, report with all originals
