Rajasthan's NEET UG counselling Round 3 has opened for choice filling. If you joined a seat in Round 1 or Round 2, you can now try to upgrade to a better college or course by filling fresh choices. The portal is live right now, and you must save your choices by 1:45 PM on 7 October 2026 — after that, the system will auto-lock and no changes will be allowed. If you do not upgrade, your current joined seat will remain yours automatically.

All candidates who have already joined a seat can participate in Round 3 upgradation by filling fresh choices; deadline is 1:45 PM on 7 October 2026, and your current seat is your safety net if you don't upgrade.

NEET UG Board, Rajasthan — All joined candidates can participate for upgradation by filling and saving fresh choices in R-3. Last date for choice filling & autolocking is 1:45 PM on 7.10.26Official notice published by NEET UG Board, Rajasthan. Always confirm details against the official document.

What is Round 3 Upgradation?

Round 3 is an upgradation round. If you joined a seat in Round 1 or Round 2, you are eligible to participate in Round 3 and try to get a better seat — either at a better college, in a better course, or in a better category quota. You do not have to participate if you are happy with your current seat, but if you want to try your luck, now is the time.

The key safety feature: your current joined seat is automatically set as your last choice in Round 3. This means if you fill fresh choices and none of them are allotted to you, you will keep your original seat. You cannot lose what you already have by trying to upgrade.

Who Can Participate in Round 3?

You are eligible for Round 3 if you have already joined a seat in any earlier round of Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 counselling. This includes candidates who joined in Round 1 or Round 2. If you have not yet joined any seat, you cannot participate in Round 3 upgradation.

Participation is optional. You do not have to fill fresh choices if you are satisfied with your current seat. However, if you wish to try for a better option, you must act now.

Important Dates for Round 3 Choice Filling

Choice filling for Round 3 is already live as of 30 September 2026. You can log in to the counselling portal and start filling your choices immediately. However, you must complete and save your choices before the deadline.

The absolute last date and time to fill and save your choices is 1:45 PM on 7 October 2026. After 1:45 PM, the system will auto-lock, and no further changes will be allowed. There is no extension, and no manual submissions will be accepted after this time.

  • Choice filling live: 30 September 2026 onwards
  • Last date and time to save choices: 1:45 PM on 7 October 2026
  • Auto-locking: happens at 1:45 PM on 7 October 2026 — no changes allowed after this

How Your Current Seat is Protected

Your joined seat from Round 1 or Round 2 is automatically set as the last choice in your Round 3 choice list. This is a critical protection: it means that even if you fill fresh choices for better seats, if none of those choices are allotted to you in Round 3, your original seat will be retained.

In other words, you cannot lose your current seat by participating in Round 3. The worst that can happen is you don't upgrade — and you keep what you already have. This is why Round 3 is called an upgradation round: it is a risk-free opportunity to try for something better.

  • Your current joined seat is automatically your last choice
  • If you don't upgrade, you keep your current seat
  • You cannot lose your seat by trying to upgrade

How to Fill Your Choices for Round 3

Log in to the Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal at ug.neetrajasthan.com using your registration number and password. Once logged in, you will see the choice-filling interface. You can now fill fresh choices for colleges and courses you wish to be considered for in Round 3.

After you have filled all your choices, you must click 'Save' to save them. Simply filling the form is not enough — you must explicitly save your choices. Once saved, your choices are locked into the system. You can log back in and edit your choices as many times as you wish before the deadline, but after 1:45 PM on 7 October, no edits will be allowed.

Remember: your current joined seat is already there as your last choice. You do not need to add it again. Focus on filling your fresh choices for colleges and courses you want to upgrade to.

  • Log in to ug.neetrajasthan.com
  • Fill fresh choices for colleges and courses
  • Click 'Save' to save your choices
  • You can edit your choices multiple times before the deadline
  • Do not add your current seat again — it is already your last choice

What Happens After the Deadline?

Once the deadline of 1:45 PM on 7 October 2026 passes, the system will auto-lock. No candidate will be able to make any changes to their choices after this time. The counselling board will then process all the choices and prepare the Round 3 allotment list based on merit, category, and availability of seats.

The Round 3 allotment result will be announced on a date to be notified separately. You will need to check the counselling portal for the result. If you are allotted a new seat, you will have to join that seat within the specified time. If you are not allotted a new seat, your original joined seat will be retained, and you will continue in that seat.

  • System auto-locks at 1:45 PM on 7 October 2026
  • No changes allowed after the deadline
  • Round 3 allotment result will be announced later
  • Check the portal for your result
  • If allotted a new seat, you must join within the specified time
  • If not allotted, your original seat is retained

Fee Structure and Seat Availability

The fee structure for all medical and dental colleges in Rajasthan is available on the counselling website. The fees shown on the portal are the fees that will be applicable at the time of admission. Make sure you check the fees for the colleges and courses you are interested in before filling your choices, so you know what you will have to pay if you are allotted that seat.

The vacant seat matrix for Round 3 (showing which seats are available after Round 2 joining) has been released and is available on the portal. This tells you which colleges have seats available and in which categories. Use this to decide which colleges and courses to fill in your choices.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Do not wait until the last moment to fill your choices. While the deadline is 1:45 PM on 7 October, the portal may experience heavy traffic in the final hours. Fill your choices well in advance to avoid technical issues or network delays that could prevent you from saving in time.

Do not forget to click 'Save' after filling your choices. Many candidates fill the form but forget to save, and their choices are not recorded. Always click the Save button explicitly.

Do not add your current joined seat as a fresh choice. It is already automatically set as your last choice. Adding it again may cause confusion or errors in the system.

Do not assume you will definitely upgrade. Round 3 is competitive, and allotment depends on your merit rank, the category you belong to, and the availability of seats. Fill your choices strategically, with realistic options.

  • Fill choices early — do not wait until the last hour
  • Always click 'Save' after filling your choices
  • Do not re-add your current seat — it is already your last choice
  • Be realistic about which colleges and courses you can upgrade to
  • Check the seat matrix and fee structure before filling choices

What If You Don't Want to Upgrade?

If you are happy with your current joined seat and do not wish to participate in Round 3, you do not have to do anything. You can simply ignore the Round 3 choice-filling process. Your current seat will remain yours, and you will continue in that college and course.

Participation in Round 3 is entirely optional. There is no penalty for not participating. If you choose not to fill choices, your joined seat is automatically retained.

  • Participation in Round 3 is optional
  • If you don't fill choices, your current seat is retained
  • There is no penalty for not participating
