Unlock My College ListWhat This Seat Matrix Means
A seat matrix is a detailed table showing how many seats are available at each college, broken down by category and quota. When students resign after being allotted a seat in an earlier round, those seats become vacant and are released for the next round of counselling. This matrix, dated 4 October 2026, reflects all such vacancies created by resignations on 2 and 3 October.
The matrix covers both MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) courses. It includes seats from government colleges, private colleges, and NRI (Non-Resident Indian) seats. Each college's available seats are listed separately for different seat types: government seats, management seats (private college seats filled by the college's own process), and NRI seats (reserved for foreign nationals and overseas Indians).
This is the seat matrix specifically for Round 3 of counselling. If you did not get a seat in Rounds 1 or 2, or if you were on a waiting list and have now been called, this matrix shows what is available for you to choose from in Round 3.
Total Seats Available: MBBS and BDS
Rajasthan is offering a total of 3,101 MBBS seats and 467 BDS seats in Round 3 across all colleges and categories. These numbers include seats reserved for Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD/PwD), which are shown separately in a dedicated PwBD seat matrix (not included in this article but available from the board).
The MBBS seats are distributed as follows: 231 government seats, 57 management seats (RUHS CMS and RAJMES colleges), 317 NRI seats, 2,061 private college general seats, and 435 private college management seats. The BDS seats total 19 government seats, 377 private college general seats, and 71 private college management seats.
- Total MBBS seats: 3,101
- Total BDS seats: 467
- Grand total (MBBS + BDS): 3,568 seats
| Course | Government Seats | Management Seats | NRI Seats | Private General Seats | Private Management Seats | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBBS | 231 | 57 | 317 | 2,061 | 435 | 3,101 |
| BDS | 19 | — | — | 377 | 71 | 467 |
Understanding the Seat Categories and Reservations
Every seat in the matrix is labeled with a two-letter code that tells you the category and gender. The first letter indicates the category (U = Unreserved, E = EWS, M = MBC, O = OBC, S = SC, T = ST, A = SA), and the second letter indicates gender (B = Boy/Male, G = Girl/Female). For example, URB means Unreserved Boy, and SCG means Scheduled Caste Girl.
Unreserved (UR) seats are open to all candidates regardless of caste or economic status, and are the most competitive. EWS (Economically Weaker Section) seats are for candidates from the general category whose family income is below a set threshold. MBC (Most Backward Classes), OBC (Other Backward Classes), SC (Scheduled Caste), ST (Scheduled Tribe), and SA (Scheduled Tribe in Scheduled Area) seats are reserved for candidates belonging to those communities as per their caste certificate.
Gender-wise reservation means that some seats are specifically for male candidates and some for female candidates. This ensures fair representation. If you belong to a reserved category, you can only compete for seats in your category—you cannot apply for an Unreserved seat even if it is vacant. However, candidates from reserved categories can apply for seats in their own category or higher (e.g., an OBC candidate can apply for OBC, SC, ST, or SA seats, but not Unreserved or EWS).
- URB/URG: Unreserved Boy/Girl
- EBB/EBG: EWS Boy/Girl
- MBB/MBG: MBC Boy/Girl
- OBB/OBG: OBC Boy/Girl
- SCB/SCG: Scheduled Caste Boy/Girl
- STB/STG: Scheduled Tribe Boy/Girl
- SAB/SAG: Scheduled Tribe (Scheduled Area) Boy/Girl

Government College Seats (MBBS)
Rajasthan has 33 government medical colleges offering MBBS. The largest government colleges by seat count are Government Medical College, Kota (15 seats), Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Ajmer (11 seats), Government Medical College, Banswara (11 seats), Government Medical College, Barmer (11 seats), and Government Medical College, Bharatpur (8 seats). Smaller colleges like Government Medical College, Dholpur and Shri Kalyan Govt. Medical College, Sikar have only 2 and 1 seat respectively.
Government seats are highly competitive because they are the most affordable and prestigious. The total of 231 government MBBS seats includes seats across all reservation categories. Most government colleges have a mix of Unreserved, EWS, OBC, SC, ST, and SA seats. The exact breakdown varies by college based on state reservation policy.
If you are eligible for government seats (i.e., you meet the NEET UG cutoff for Rajasthan government colleges), you should check the specific college and category combination you are eligible for before applying in Round 3.
- 33 government medical colleges in Rajasthan
- 231 total MBBS seats available
- Seats distributed across all reservation categories
- Highly competitive; based on NEET UG rank and cutoff
Private College Seats (MBBS)
Private medical colleges in Rajasthan offer seats through two main channels: General Seats (Gen. Seat) and Management Seats (Mgmt. Seat). General seats are filled through the state counselling process based on NEET UG merit and are subject to the same reservation rules as government seats. Management seats are filled by the college directly, often at a higher fee, and may have different eligibility criteria set by the college.
In Round 3, 2,061 private MBBS general seats and 435 private MBBS management seats are available. Major private colleges include Balvir Singh Tomar Institute of Medical Sciences, Jaipur (245 seats), National Institute of Medical Science & Research (NIMS), Jaipur (223 seats), Pacific Institute of Medical Sciences, Udaipur (201 seats), and Dr S S Tantia Medical College, Sri Ganganagar (156 seats).
Private college seats are less competitive than government seats in terms of NEET rank required, but they come with higher fees. If you are applying for private college seats, confirm the fee structure and any additional eligibility criteria with the college before accepting an allotment.
- 2,061 private MBBS general seats available
- 435 private MBBS management seats available
- 18 private medical colleges offering MBBS
- General seats filled by merit; management seats filled by college
NRI Seats (MBBS)
NRI (Non-Resident Indian) seats are reserved for Indian citizens living abroad, Persons of Indian Origin (PIO), and foreign nationals. A total of 317 MBBS NRI seats are available in Round 3 across government colleges in Rajasthan. These seats are not filled through the regular NEET UG counselling process; instead, they are filled directly by the colleges through a separate NRI admission process.
NRI seats are typically more expensive than government or private general seats because they are meant for overseas applicants. If you are an NRI or PIO and wish to apply for these seats, you must contact the college directly and follow their NRI admission procedure. The seat matrix shows how many NRI seats each college has, but the actual application and admission process is handled by the college, not the state counselling board.
If you are a regular NEET UG candidate (Indian resident), you cannot apply for NRI seats. These are reserved exclusively for overseas applicants.
- 317 total MBBS NRI seats available
- Available at government colleges only
- Not filled through state counselling
- Filled directly by colleges through separate NRI process
- Higher fees than regular seats
Dental (BDS) Seats
Rajasthan offers 467 BDS seats in Round 3, distributed across government and private dental colleges. Government dental seats total 19 (from 2 colleges: Government Dental College, Jodhpur, and RUHS College of Dental Sciences, Jaipur). Private dental colleges offer 377 general seats and 71 management seats across 17 colleges.

Major private dental colleges include Dr. SS Tantia Dental College, Sri Ganganagar (40 seats), RR Dental College, Udaipur (36 seats), Maharaja Gangasingh Dental College, Sri Ganganagar (39 seats), and Surendra Dental College, Sri Ganganagar (32 seats). Like MBBS, BDS seats are divided into general seats (filled by merit through counselling) and management seats (filled by the college).
BDS is a 4-year undergraduate course in dentistry. If you are interested in dentistry and have a valid NEET UG score, you can apply for BDS seats in Round 3. The eligibility and reservation rules are the same as for MBBS.
- 19 government BDS seats
- 377 private BDS general seats
- 71 private BDS management seats
- Total: 467 BDS seats
- 2 government dental colleges; 17 private dental colleges
How to Use This Seat Matrix for Round 3 Counselling
Step 1: Identify your eligibility. Check your NEET UG rank, your category (Unreserved, EWS, OBC, SC, ST, SA), and your gender. This determines which seats you can apply for. For example, if you are an OBC female candidate, you can apply for OBG (OBC Girl) seats, and also for SCG, STG, and SAG seats (if you meet the cutoff), but not for URG or EBG seats.
Step 2: Check the seat matrix for colleges and categories you are eligible for. Look at the specific college rows and find the columns that match your category and gender. The number in that cell tells you how many seats are available. For instance, if Government Medical College, Kota has 3 OBG seats available, and you are an OBC girl, you can apply for one of those 3 seats.
Step 3: Prioritize your choices. In counselling, you will be asked to rank colleges and seats in order of preference. Use this matrix to identify all colleges where seats are available in your category, and rank them according to your preference (location, reputation, facilities, etc.). Remember that once you are allotted a seat and accept it, you cannot change it in the same round.
Step 4: Apply during the Round 3 counselling window. The board will announce the exact dates for Round 3 registration, choice filling, and allotment. Make sure you register and fill your choices within the deadline. Missing the deadline will disqualify you from that round.
- Confirm your category, gender, and NEET UG rank
- Identify colleges with available seats in your category
- Rank colleges in order of preference
- Register and fill choices within the announced deadline
- Accept allotment only if you are certain about joining
Important Notes on PwBD/PwD Seats
The seat matrix note states: 'PwBD/PwD seats of all categories are included (PwBD/PwD Seat Matrix is displayed separately).' This means that the numbers shown in this matrix include seats reserved for Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD) and Persons with Disability (PwD). However, the exact breakdown of how many of each college's seats are reserved for PwBD/PwD candidates is shown in a separate, dedicated PwBD seat matrix document.
If you are a PwBD/PwD candidate, you must refer to the separate PwBD seat matrix to see which seats are specifically reserved for you. You cannot apply for non-PwBD seats even if they are vacant, unless you choose to compete in the general (non-reserved) category. The board's website will have the PwBD seat matrix available for download.
- PwBD/PwD seats are included in the total numbers shown
- Refer to the separate PwBD seat matrix for exact PwBD seat breakdown

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What does 'after resignations' mean in the seat matrix title?
It means that students who were allotted seats in earlier rounds (Round 1 or 2) chose not to join the college and formally resigned. When they resign, their seats become vacant and are released for the next round of counselling. This matrix shows all such vacant seats that are now available for Round 3 applicants.
Can I apply for seats in Round 3 if I was not allotted a seat in Rounds 1 and 2?
Yes, if you are eligible for counselling (i.e., you have a valid NEET UG score and meet the cutoff for Rajasthan), you can apply in Round 3. You will be ranked based on your NEET UG score and allotted a seat if one is available in your category and preferred college. However, you must register for Round 3 counselling within the announced deadline.
What is the difference between government seats, management seats, and NRI seats?
Government seats are filled through state counselling based on NEET UG merit and are subject to reservation rules. They are affordable and prestigious. Management seats are filled by private colleges directly, often at higher fees, and may have different eligibility criteria. NRI seats are for overseas applicants and are not filled through state counselling; colleges handle NRI admissions separately.
I am an OBC candidate. Which seats can I apply for?
You can apply for OBC seats (OBB or OBG depending on your gender). You can also apply for SC, ST, and SA seats if you meet the cutoff, as these are lower in the reservation hierarchy. However, you cannot apply for Unreserved (UR) or EWS seats. Always check your caste certificate to confirm your exact category.
How many total seats are available in Round 3?
A total of 3,568 seats are available: 3,101 MBBS seats and 467 BDS seats. This includes government, private, and NRI seats across all categories and genders. However, the exact number of seats available to you depends on your category and gender.
What should I do if I find a college and category I am eligible for?
Note down the college name, the number of available seats in your category, and rank it in your preference list. When Round 3 counselling opens, register, fill your choices in order of preference, and submit. The board will then allot seats based on your rank and preferences. If you are allotted a seat, you must accept it and report to the college by the joining date.
Are PwBD seats included in the numbers shown in this matrix?
Yes, PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disability) seats are included in the total numbers. However, the exact breakdown of how many seats at each college are reserved for PwBD candidates is shown in a separate PwBD seat matrix. If you are a PwBD candidate, refer to that separate matrix to see which seats are reserved for you.
When will Round 3 counselling take place?
The exact dates for Round 3 registration, choice filling, and allotment have not been announced in this matrix. The board will announce the Round 3 schedule separately on its official website (ug.neetrajasthan.com). Check the website regularly for updates and do not miss the registration deadline.
Can I apply for NRI seats if I am an Indian resident?
No, NRI seats are exclusively for Non-Resident Indians, Persons of Indian Origin, and foreign nationals. If you are an Indian resident, you can only apply for government, management, or general private seats. You cannot apply for NRI seats.
What if I don't get a seat in Round 3?
If you are not allotted a seat in Round 3, you may be eligible for a subsequent round (if the board conducts one) or a waiting list. The board will announce the schedule for any further rounds. Keep checking the official website for updates. You can also contact the board's helpline for information about your status.
This seat matrix is your roadmap for Round 3 counselling. Use it now to identify colleges and seats you are eligible for, and prepare your preference list. Watch the official board website (ug.neetrajasthan.com) for the Round 3 counselling schedule, including registration and choice-filling dates.
