The Rajasthan NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission Board has extended the deadline for State Quota candidates to resign from their allotted seats. Following the declaration of MCC's final seat allotment result, candidates who wish to give up their allotted seat must now do so by 5:00 PM on 13 September 2026. This extension gives candidates additional time to make their decision after seeing the final allotment outcome. If you are a State Quota candidate and have been allotted a seat but wish to withdraw, you must act before this deadline or you will be locked into your allotment.
State Quota MBBS/BDS candidates in Rajasthan must resign their allotted seats by 5:00 PM on 13 September 2026 if they wish to withdraw.
What is this deadline about?
After MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) released its final seat allotment result, Rajasthan's counselling board has given State Quota candidates a window to resign (withdraw) from their allotted seats. This is a formal process: if you have been allotted a seat in Round 2 and you do not want it, you must formally resign before the deadline.
Resignation means you are giving up your allotted seat and will not be joining that college. Once you resign, you cannot claim that seat again. This is different from not joining — if you are allotted a seat and do nothing, you are considered to have accepted it, and you may face consequences (such as forfeiture of fees or a ban on future counselling rounds).
Who must resign by this deadline?
This deadline applies only to State Quota candidates — that is, candidates who were allotted a seat through Rajasthan's state counselling process (not through MCC's central pool or NRI/management quota). If you are a State Quota candidate and you have received an allotment letter for Round 2, this deadline applies to you.
If you are an NRI, management quota, or central pool candidate, check your specific counselling authority's instructions — this deadline may not apply to you.
- State Quota MBBS and BDS candidates allotted in Round 2
- Candidates who have received an allotment letter from Rajasthan counselling
- Candidates who wish to withdraw from their allotted seat
Key date: 13 September 2026, 5:00 PM
The absolute deadline to resign is 5:00 PM (17:00 hours) on 13 September 2026. Any resignation request submitted after this time will not be accepted. This is a hard deadline — there are no extensions or exceptions mentioned in the notice.
You must complete the resignation process at your allotted college. The notice does not specify an online portal or a mail-in option; it says candidates must submit resignations 'at their respective allotted colleges.' Contact your college's admission office to confirm the exact procedure and location for submitting your resignation.
- Deadline: 13 September 2026
- Time: 5:00 PM (17:00 hours)
- Location: Your allotted college
- No extensions after this time
Why was this deadline extended?
The original deadline for resignation was 12 September 2026 (5:00 PM). The board extended it by one day to 13 September 2026 in view of MCC's final seat allotment result being released. This gave candidates one extra day to review the final allotment, compare their options, and make an informed decision about whether to keep or resign from their seat.
The extension recognizes that candidates may have been waiting for the final MCC result before deciding whether to stay with their State Quota allotment or pursue other options.
What happens if you resign?
If you resign before the deadline, your seat will be vacated and may be offered to the next candidate on the merit list in a subsequent round of counselling. You will not be able to claim that seat again. Depending on your college's policy, you may forfeit any fees you have already paid.
After resignation, you may be eligible to participate in further counselling rounds if they are announced, but you will be treated as a fresh candidate and will compete based on your merit rank and category.
- Your seat becomes vacant and is offered to the next candidate
- You cannot reclaim the same seat
- Fees paid may be forfeited (check your college's policy)
- You may be eligible for future counselling rounds
What happens if you do NOT resign?
If you do not resign by the deadline, you are considered to have accepted your allotment. You will be expected to join the college and complete the admission process. Failure to join without a valid reason may result in forfeiture of your seat, cancellation of your admission, and possible debarment from future counselling rounds.
If you have been allotted a seat and you are certain you want it, you do not need to do anything — simply proceed with joining the college as per the schedule provided in your allotment letter.
- You are locked into your allotment
- You must join the college as per the joining schedule
- Failure to join may result in seat cancellation and debarment
- No further action is needed if you accept the seat
How to resign: step-by-step
The notice states that candidates must submit their resignations 'at their respective allotted colleges.' This means you must go to your allotted college in person (or contact them directly) to formally resign. The notice does not mention an online resignation portal for this deadline.
Contact your college's admission office immediately to ask: (1) the exact procedure for resignation, (2) whether you need to submit a written letter or fill a form, (3) the office location and working hours, and (4) whether you can resign by email or phone or must appear in person. Do not wait until the last day — go as soon as possible to avoid delays.
- Contact your allotted college's admission office
- Ask for the resignation procedure and required documents
- Submit your resignation in person or as directed by the college
- Obtain a written acknowledgment of your resignation
- Complete this before 5:00 PM on 13 September 2026
Important: This is a State Quota deadline only
This deadline applies only to candidates allotted through Rajasthan's state counselling process. If you were allotted a seat through MCC's central counselling (for central pool seats), or if you are an NRI or management quota candidate, you may have a different deadline or process. Check the specific instructions from your counselling authority.
Do not assume this deadline applies to you unless you are certain you are a State Quota candidate. If you are unsure, contact the Rajasthan NEET UG counselling board directly at the contact details on the official website (ug.neetrajasthan.com).
- This deadline is for State Quota candidates only
- Central pool, NRI, and management quota candidates may have different deadlines
- Verify your quota type in your allotment letter
- Contact the board if you are unsure
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not assume you can resign after 5:00 PM on 13 September — the deadline is absolute and no late submissions are accepted. Do not delay until the last moment; go to your college at least a day or two before to complete the process and avoid last-minute confusion.
Do not confuse resignation with non-joining. If you simply do not show up to join without formally resigning, you may face penalties. Always submit a formal resignation letter or form to the college. Do not rely on email or phone calls alone — get written confirmation that your resignation has been received and processed.
