Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 Round 3 Counselling Schedule Released

Rajasthan's NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission Board has released the official schedule for Round 3 counselling on 20 September 2026. This is the third and final round of seat allotment for MBBS and BDS programmes in Rajasthan for the 2026-27 admission year. Round 3 offers candidates who were not allotted seats in Rounds 1 and 2, or who wish to upgrade their allotment, a final opportunity to secure a medical or dental seat. The schedule includes specific dates for choice filling, allotment declaration, and joining at colleges. Every candidate still seeking admission must carefully note these dates and complete all steps on time, as missing any deadline will result in forfeiture of the seat.

What is Round 3 Counselling?

Round 3 is the third and final round of seat allotment in Rajasthan's NEET UG counselling process for 2026. After Rounds 1 and 2, some seats remain vacant because candidates either did not join, resigned, or were not allotted. Round 3 fills these remaining seats and gives candidates a last opportunity to secure admission to an MBBS or BDS programme.

In Round 3, you will fill your choice of colleges and courses again. The board will then allot seats based on your merit rank, your choices, and the availability of vacant seats. This is your final chance — there are no further rounds after Round 3. If you do not get a seat in Round 3, you will not be admitted to any government or private medical or dental college in Rajasthan through this counselling process.

Who Can Apply in Round 3?

You are eligible for Round 3 if you meet any of the following conditions: (1) you were not allotted a seat in Rounds 1 or 2; (2) you were allotted a seat in Round 1 or 2 but did not join the college; (3) you were allotted a seat in Round 1 or 2, joined, but have now resigned and wish to participate in Round 3; or (4) you were allotted a seat in an earlier round and wish to try for a better college or course in Round 3.

To be eligible, you must have a valid NEET UG 2026 score, must have completed document verification (if required for your category), and must have registered on the official Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal (ug.neetrajasthan.com). Candidates in special categories — such as PwBD/PwD (persons with benchmark disability), NRI, WDP (Economically Weaker Sections), and WPP (Other Backward Classes) — must have been verified and cleared in the earlier verification rounds.

Important Dates for Round 3

The board has released the Round 3 schedule dated 5 September 2026 (note: this is the schedule document date; the announcement was made on 20 September 2026). The exact dates for choice filling, allotment declaration, and joining are contained in the official Round 3 Schedule PDF, which you must download immediately from ug.neetrajasthan.com. Do not rely on memory or estimates — download the PDF and write down every date.

Typically, a counselling round follows this pattern: (1) choice filling window opens and closes on specified dates; (2) allotment is declared on a fixed date; (3) candidates must join at their allotted college by a final deadline. Missing any of these dates will result in automatic cancellation of your participation. For the exact dates specific to Round 3, you must consult the official schedule PDF.

• Note the exact date and time when choice filling opens
• Note the exact date and time when choice filling closes

How to Fill Your Choices in Round 3

Once the choice-filling window opens (on the date specified in the Round 3 Schedule), log in to the official portal ug.neetrajasthan.com using your registration number and password. You will see a list of all available colleges and courses (MBBS and BDS) with vacant seats. Carefully review the colleges, their location, course type, and category of seat (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD/PwD, NRI, etc.).

Select your preferred colleges and courses in order of preference. The system will rank your choices from 1 (most preferred) to as many as you wish to add. The allotment algorithm will match your rank with your choices — if a seat becomes available in your highest-ranked choice that you are eligible for, you will be allotted that seat. If not, the system will move to your next choice, and so on. Therefore, fill your choices carefully and in genuine order of preference.

After filling all your choices, review them carefully. Once you submit your choices, you cannot change them (unless the board announces an extension). Click the 'Submit' or 'Confirm' button only when you are certain. Take a screenshot or print a copy of your submitted choices for your records.

• Log in to ug.neetrajasthan.com with your registration number and password
• Review all available colleges, courses, and seat categories

Allotment Declaration and How to Check Your Result

On the date specified in the Round 3 Schedule, the board will declare the allotment result. You will receive an SMS and email notification (to the phone number and email address you registered with). Do not wait for the notification — log in to ug.neetrajasthan.com on the allotment date and check your result immediately.

To check your allotment: log in to the portal, navigate to 'My Allotment' or 'Allotment Result', and view your allotted college, course (MBBS or BDS), seat category, and the date by which you must join. If you have been allotted a seat, note the college name, location, and joining deadline. If you have not been allotted a seat, it means no seat matching your eligibility and choices was available in Round 3. You will not be eligible for further counselling rounds.

If you are allotted a seat, you must join the college by the deadline specified in the allotment letter. Joining means physically reporting to the college with all required documents, completing admission formalities, and paying the admission fee. If you do not join by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.

Documents Required at the Time of Joining

When you join your allotted college, you must bring all original documents and copies as specified by the board.

Joining is not online — you must be present in person with all documents.

The college staff will verify your documents, check your eligibility, and complete the admission formalities. You will be asked to sign the admission register, pay the admission fee (if not already paid), and receive your admission confirmation. The college will also provide you with information about hostel, course schedule, and other details.

If you do not join by the deadline, your seat will be automatically cancelled. The board will not send you a reminder or extension — it is your responsibility to join on time. If you have a genuine emergency and cannot join by the deadline, contact the board immediately before the deadline and request an extension (though extensions are rarely granted).

Fees and Payment Details

Typically, government MBBS and BDS seats have lower fees (ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹2,00,000 per year depending on the college and category), while private college fees are significantly higher (ranging from ₹10,00,000 to ₹20,00,000 per year or more). NRI seats have separate, often higher, fee structures. You must confirm the exact fee with your allotted college before joining.

Payment is usually made at the college desk at the time of joining. Some colleges may accept online payment; others may require a demand draft or cheque. Confirm the payment method with the college in advance. Keep all payment receipts and fee vouchers for your records. If you do not pay the fee by the deadline, your admission will be cancelled.

Special Categories: PwBD/PwD, NRI, WDP, and WPP

If you belong to a special category — PwBD/PwD (persons with benchmark disability), NRI (Non-Resident Indian), WDP (Economically Weaker Sections, also called EXS), or WPP (Other Backward Classes, also called OBC-NCL) — you must have completed document verification in the earlier verification rounds. The board has released separate provisional merit lists for each category after verification. Check if your name appears in the verified list for your category.

PwBD/PwD candidates: You are eligible for reserved seats and relaxation in eligibility criteria. You must have a valid disability certificate issued by a competent authority. The board has released a separate allotment list for PwBD/PwD candidates in Round 3. Check ug.neetrajasthan.com for the 'Vacant seat matrix of PwBD/PwD candidates for Round 3' to see which seats are available for you.

NRI candidates: You must have been verified as an NRI on the basis of your passport and other documents. NRI seats are separate from general seats and have different fee structures (usually higher). Check the NRI fee schedule on the portal. If you are allotted an NRI seat, you must pay the NRI fee.

WDP (EXS) and WPP (OBC-NCL) candidates: You must have been verified and cleared in the earlier verification rounds. Your merit list is separate from the general merit list. Check the provisional merit lists for your category on ug.neetrajasthan.com to confirm your eligibility for Round 3.

• If PwBD/PwD: ensure your disability certificate is valid and recent
• If NRI: confirm your NRI status was verified; check NRI fee schedule
• If WDP/EXS: confirm you were verified in the earlier rounds
• If WPP/OBC-NCL: confirm you were verified and your OBC-NCL certificate is valid
• Check the category-specific merit lists and seat matrices on ug.neetrajasthan.com

Common Mistakes That Get Your Admission Rejected

Missing the joining deadline: This is the most common reason for rejection. If you do not join by the exact date and time specified in your allotment letter, your seat will be cancelled. There are no exceptions or extensions (except in rare cases approved by the board before the deadline). Set a phone reminder and plan to join at least one day before the deadline.

Incomplete or incorrect documents: If you arrive at the college without all required documents, or if your documents are not in the correct format (e.g., category certificate is too old, medical certificate is not signed by a recognized doctor, or photographs do not match the specifications), your admission will be rejected. Download the exact list of documents from the portal and verify each one before joining.

Invalid category certificate: If your OBC-NCL, SC, ST, or EWS certificate is expired, issued before a certain date, or does not match the format specified by the board, it will be rejected. Similarly, if you claim to be an NRI but your passport or NRI certificate is not valid, you will be rejected. Verify the validity and format of all category certificates before joining.

Failure to pay the fee: If you do not pay the admission fee by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled. Confirm the exact fee and payment method with the college in advance and arrange funds before the joining date.

Applying for a seat you are not eligible for: If you filled a choice for a seat category you are not eligible for (e.g., you filled an SC seat but you are not SC), and you are allotted that seat, your admission will be rejected during document verification. Only fill choices for seats you are genuinely eligible for.

• ⚠️ Do not miss the joining deadline — seats are cancelled automatically
• ⚠️ Bring all documents listed by the board — missing even one causes rejection
• ⚠️ Verify category certificates are valid and recent — expired certificates are rejected
• ⚠️ Pay the fee on time — non-payment results in cancellation
• ⚠️ Only fill choices for seats you are eligible for — ineligible allotments are rejected
