The Rajasthan NEET UG counselling board has issued an important clarification for candidates who participated in the stray vacancy round but were not allotted a seat. If your documents were already deposited with the counselling board during the stray vacancy round, you do not need to submit them again or visit the board in person. Instead, you can participate in the Special Stray Round (for MBBS) or Round-5 (for BDS) by simply mailing a consent form for participation. This is a significant relief for candidates who were waiting to know if they could still apply in the upcoming rounds without the hassle of re-depositing documents.
Unallotted candidates from the stray vacancy round whose documents are already with the board can participate in Special Stray Round/Round-5 BDS by mailing a consent form—no need to resubmit documents or visit in person.

What You Must Do: The Consent Form Requirement
To participate in the Special Stray Round (MBBS) or Round-5 (BDS), you must mail a consent form for participation to the counselling board. This form is your formal confirmation that you wish to participate in the upcoming round. The board has released a specific consent form document titled 'CONSENT FORM FOR PARTICIPATION IN SPECIAL STRAY ROUND &/ OR ROUND-5 BDS FOR THOSE WHOSE DOCUMENTS ARE STILL DEPOSITED WITH BOARD AFTER VERIFICATION IN STRAY VACANCY ROUND.' You must obtain this form and mail it to the board.
The consent form is the only action required from you. You do not need to visit the board office, resubmit documents, or undergo verification again. Simply fill out the form and mail it as instructed. Once the board receives your consent form, your choice filling (the process of selecting colleges and courses in order of preference) will be enabled for the Special Stray Round or Round-5 BDS.
- Obtain the official consent form from the board's portal or notification
- Fill out the form completely with your details
- Mail the form to the counselling board at the address specified
- Keep proof of mailing for your records
- Wait for confirmation that your choice filling has been enabled
Important: Your Documents Are Already Deposited
A critical point emphasized in this notice is that you do NOT need to come to the counselling board office again or resubmit your documents. Your documents were already deposited and verified during the stray vacancy round. The board is confirming that these documents remain valid and on file for the Special Stray Round and Round-5 BDS. This saves you time and eliminates the need for a physical visit.
This is especially important because many candidates worry that if they were not allotted in one round, they must start the entire process over. That is not the case here. The board is explicitly stating that your existing document deposition is sufficient. Your only responsibility is to mail the consent form to confirm your participation.

Special Stray Round (MBBS) vs. Round-5 (BDS): Which One Applies to You

If you applied for BDS in the stray vacancy round, you will participate in Round-5 BDS. The consent form covers both, so you only need to mail one form regardless of which course you are applying for.
Both rounds follow the same process: mail the consent form, enable choice filling, participate in allotment, and join if allotted. The timing and seat availability may differ between the two rounds, so check the schedule released by the board for the specific dates for your course.
