Unlock My College ListWhat is the Special Stray Round and Round-5 (BDS)?
The Special Stray Round is a final counselling round for MBBS admissions in Rajasthan, held after all regular rounds are complete. It is designed to fill any remaining vacant seats. Round-5 for BDS is the corresponding final round for dental admissions. These rounds give candidates who were not allotted seats in earlier rounds, or who did not participate, a final opportunity to secure admission.
This is typically the last chance to get a seat in a government or private medical or dental college in Rajasthan for the 2026-27 academic year. Candidates who appear on this merit list and participate in counselling will be allotted seats strictly according to their rank, category, and the availability of seats.
Who is on this Merit List?
The merit list includes 308 candidates from Rajasthan and other states who have qualified for the Special Stray Round. The list is arranged by Combined State Merit Rank, which is determined by your NEET UG 2026 marks, your NEET All-India (AI) rank, and your category (General, OBC NCL, SC, ST, EWS, or MBC NCL).
Candidates are ranked from rank 1 (highest marks: 532) to rank 308 (lowest marks: 177). Your position reflects both your absolute performance and how you rank within your category. The list shows your registration ID, NEET ID, name, domicile (state), category filled at registration, category considered for merit ranking, NEET marks, NEET AI rank, and your combined state merit rank.
How to Find Your Name and Verify Your Details
Search the merit list by your registration ID (RM number) or NEET ID. The list is 17 pages long and arranged in order of Combined State Merit Rank from 1 to 308. You can download the PDF and use the search function (Ctrl+F on Windows, Cmd+F on Mac) to find your entry quickly.
Once you locate your name, verify the following details carefully: your full name, father's name, gender, domicile (state), category filled, category considered, NEET marks, NEET AI rank, and your Combined State Merit Rank. Any error in these details can affect your seat allotment. If you spot a mistake, note it and prepare to file an objection (see the section on objections below).
- Search by Registration ID (RM number) or NEET ID
- Verify name, father's name, gender, and domicile
- Check category filled vs. category considered
- Confirm your NEET marks and ranks
- Note any discrepancies for objection filing
Understanding Category Filled vs. Category Considered
Know the exact MBBS/BDS colleges your rank can get
Official 2023–2025 closing ranks and fees, matched to your rank.
The merit list shows two category columns: 'Category (Filled)' and 'Category (Considered)'. The category you filled at the time of NEET registration is shown in the 'Filled' column. The 'Considered' column shows the category for which you are ranked in the merit list. In most cases, these are the same. However, if you claimed EWS (Economically Weaker Section) status and it was not verified or accepted, your 'Considered' category may revert to General.
For example, if you filled 'General' but later submitted an EWS certificate and it was accepted, your 'Filled' category remains 'General' but your 'Considered' category becomes 'EWS', and you are ranked among EWS candidates. This is important because your rank and eligibility depend on the 'Considered' category. If the two differ and you believe it is an error, file an objection immediately.
- Category Filled = what you selected at NEET registration
- Category Considered = the category used for merit ranking
- EWS candidates: verify that your certificate was accepted
- If categories differ unexpectedly, file an objection
What Your Rank Means for Seat Allotment
Your Combined State Merit Rank determines the order in which you will be offered seats during counselling. Rank 1 is offered seats first, then rank 2, and so on. Within each category (General, OBC NCL, SC, ST, EWS, MBC NCL), seats are allotted separately according to the number of seats reserved for that category. Your rank is specific to your category—you are not competing against all 308 candidates, but against candidates in your category.
For example, if you are rank 5 in the OBC NCL category, you will be offered an OBC NCL seat before rank 6 OBC NCL candidates, but your rank does not directly compare to rank 5 in the General category. The number of available seats in each category and college determines whether you will receive an allotment. Even if you are on the merit list, you will only be allotted a seat if seats remain available in your category and college choice at the time your turn comes.
- Lower rank = higher priority for seat allotment
- Ranks are category-specific, not absolute
- Allotment depends on seat availability in your category
- Seats are offered in strict rank order within each category
Important: This is a Provisional List—File Objections if Needed
This merit list is marked 'Provisional', which means it is not final. The board invites objections and corrections from candidates. If you believe there is an error in your entry—wrong name, wrong category, wrong marks, or any other discrepancy—you must file an objection within the deadline specified by the board. The notice does not explicitly state the objection deadline in the document provided, so check the official Rajasthan NEET counselling portal (ug.neetrajasthan.com) or contact SMS Medical College, Jaipur, immediately for the exact date and procedure.
Common errors to watch for: name spelled incorrectly, father's name wrong, gender marked incorrectly, domicile state wrong, category incorrectly filled or considered, NEET marks not matching your scorecard, or NEET AI rank not matching. Do not assume the board will correct errors on its own—you must report them. Objections filed after the deadline will not be entertained.
- ⚠️ This is a provisional list; errors can be corrected
- Check your entry against your NEET admit card and scorecard
- File objections immediately if you spot any discrepancy
- Do not wait—objections filed after the deadline will be rejected
- Contact SMS Medical College or the counselling portal for the objection deadline and procedure
Merit List Composition: Category-Wise Breakdown
The merit list includes candidates from multiple categories. The majority are General category candidates, followed by OBC NCL (Other Backward Classes, Non-Creamy Layer), SC (Scheduled Caste), ST (Scheduled Tribe), EWS (Economically Weaker Section), and MBC NCL (Most Backward Classes, Non-Creamy Layer). Candidates from states other than Rajasthan are also included—the list shows candidates from Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab, Jharkhand, Bihar, Jammu & Kashmir, and other states.
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank

The presence of candidates from other states reflects the all-India nature of NEET and the possibility of inter-state counselling or special provisions. However, seat allotment will follow Rajasthan's domicile and category-wise seat matrix. Rajasthan domicile candidates will have priority for Rajasthan domicile seats, while non-domicile candidates may be considered for non-domicile or management quota seats, depending on the college and seat availability.
- General category: majority of candidates
- OBC NCL: significant representation
- SC, ST, EWS, MBC NCL: reserved category candidates
- Candidates from multiple states included
- Rajasthan domicile candidates have priority for domicile seats
What Happens Next: Counselling and Seat Allotment
After the provisional merit list is finalized (following the objection period), the board will announce the counselling schedule for the Special Stray Round. Counselling typically involves registration, choice filling, and seat allotment. You will be required to register on the counselling portal, fill your college and course preferences in order of priority, and then the board will allot seats based on your rank, category, and choices.
Seat allotment is done in a single round for the Special Stray Round. Once seats are allotted, you will be notified of your allotted college, course (MBBS or BDS), and seat category. You will then need to report to the college, submit documents, and complete admission formalities within the specified deadline. Failure to report on time may result in forfeiture of your seat.
- Counselling schedule will be announced after merit list is finalized
- Register on the counselling portal with your credentials
- Fill college and course preferences in order of priority
- Seats are allotted in a single round based on rank and availability
- Report to your allotted college within the deadline to secure admission

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I am on the merit list. Does this guarantee me a seat?
No. Being on the merit list means you are eligible to participate in counselling and seat allotment. However, a seat is guaranteed only if seats are available in your category and your chosen college at the time your rank is called. If all seats in your category are filled by candidates with higher ranks, you may not receive an allotment. Your rank determines your priority, not your guarantee.
What is the difference between my NEET AI rank and my Combined State Merit Rank?
Your NEET AI (All-India) rank is your position among all NEET UG 2026 candidates across India. Your Combined State Merit Rank is your position in Rajasthan's merit list for this specific round, considering your category and domicile. For Rajasthan counselling, your Combined State Merit Rank is what matters for seat allotment.
My category filled and category considered are different. Why?
This usually happens when you claimed a category (like EWS) at registration but your certificate was not verified or accepted by the board. Your 'Filled' category shows what you selected; your 'Considered' category shows what the board has accepted for merit ranking. If you believe this is an error, file an objection immediately.
I found an error in my name or details on the merit list. What should I do?
File an objection immediately through the official counselling portal or by contacting SMS Medical College, Jaipur. Do not wait. The objection deadline is typically 2–3 days from the merit list release date (8 November 2026). Objections filed after the deadline will not be entertained. Include your registration ID, NEET ID, and a clear description of the error.
When will counselling for the Special Stray Round begin?
The counselling schedule will be announced after the provisional merit list is finalized and objections are resolved. Check the official portal (ug.neetrajasthan.com) daily for the announcement. The board typically announces the schedule within a few days of finalizing the merit list.
I am from another state but my name is on this Rajasthan merit list. Can I get a seat?
Yes, you can participate in counselling. However, seat allotment will depend on the seat matrix. Rajasthan domicile seats are reserved for Rajasthan residents. Non-domicile candidates may be allotted non-domicile seats or management quota seats if available. Your rank and category determine your priority within the non-domicile category.
What documents do I need to bring for counselling registration?
The notice does not specify the exact documents required for counselling registration. However, typically you will need your NEET admit card, scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets, domicile certificate (if applicable), category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), and identity proof. Check the official portal for the complete list of required documents before counselling begins.
If I don't get a seat in this round, can I participate in another round?
The Special Stray Round is typically the final round for MBBS and BDS admissions in Rajasthan for the 2026-27 academic year. If you do not get a seat in this round, you may not have another opportunity in the same year. However, check the official portal for any announcements about additional rounds or spot admissions.
How is my rank calculated if I am in the EWS category?
EWS candidates are ranked separately within the EWS category based on their NEET marks. Your rank is determined by your NEET score compared to other EWS candidates. EWS seats are reserved, and allotment is done category-wise. Your EWS rank determines your priority for EWS seats.
Can I change my college or course choice after counselling registration?
The notice does not specify the rules for changing choices after registration. Typically, you can modify your choices during the choice-filling window before seat allotment. Once seats are allotted, changes are usually not allowed. Check the counselling guidelines on the official portal for the exact procedure and deadlines.
What if I miss the counselling registration deadline?
If you miss the counselling registration deadline, you will not be able to participate in seat allotment for this round. The board does not typically grant extensions. Monitor the official portal closely and register as soon as the counselling window opens to avoid missing the deadline.
Is this merit list final, or can it change?
This is a provisional merit list. It can change after objections are filed and resolved. The board will publish a final merit list after addressing all objections and corrections. Always refer to the final merit list for counselling, not this provisional version.
If your name appears on this provisional merit list, verify all your details immediately against your NEET scorecard and registration confirmation. File any objections within the deadline (check ug.neetrajasthan.com for the exact date—typically 2–3 days from 8 November 2026). After the final merit list is published, monitor the official portal daily for the counselling schedule, registration link, and important dates. Prepare your documents and be ready to register and fill your choices as soon as counselling opens. This is your final opportunity for MBBS/BDS admission in Rajasthan for 2026-27.
