Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 Stray Vacancy: Complete Document Checklist & Bond

Rajasthan's NEET UG stray vacancy round opens 18–20 October 2026. If you are allotted a seat in this round, you must submit a complete set of documents and sign a legal bond before joining. This is not optional — missing even one document or submitting the wrong type of certificate will result in rejection or cancellation of your allotment. This guide lists every document you must bring, explains what each one must show, and flags the common mistakes that get candidates rejected.

What is the Stray Vacancy Round and Why Does This Matter?

The stray vacancy round is the final opportunity to secure an MBBS or BDS seat in Rajasthan for the 2026–27 academic year. It runs from 18–20 October 2026. Seats in this round are those that remain unfilled after all earlier counselling rounds.

If you are allotted a seat in stray vacancy, you must report to your allotted college with all required documents and a signed bond. The college will retain your original certificates until you complete your course. If you fail to join or submit incomplete documents, your seat will be cancelled and you may face legal action to recover the full course fees (up to Rs. 10 lakh) plus interest.

The 15 Essential Enclosure Documents — What You Must Bring

The Rajasthan counselling board requires exactly 15 documents (or enclosures) to be submitted at the time of joining. Each one serves a specific purpose in verifying your eligibility, identity, and academic background. Below is the complete list with explanations of what each document must contain and common rejection reasons.

Do not assume you can submit photocopies or digital versions of these documents. The college will retain your originals. You must also bring 2 sets of self-attested photocopies of all documents for the college's records.

• Document 1: NEET UG 2026 Score Card — Your official NEET result document issued by NTA. This proves you qualified for NEET UG.
• Document 2: Application Form of NEET UG Admission/Counselling Board 2026 — Download this from the counselling website after you register. This is your formal application to the Rajasthan board.
• Document 3: Mark sheet(s) of 10+2 (12th class) or equivalent — Must show Biology or Biotechnology as one of the subjects. If you passed 12th in more than one attempt, bring ALL mark sheets. This is a common rejection point: if you took 12th twice and only bring one mark sheet, your application will be rejected.
• Document 4: Date of Birth Certificate — Your 10th class mark sheet, 10th class certificate, or any other official document showing your date of birth. This is used to verify your age eligibility.
• Document 5: Mark sheet of secondary examination (10th class) — Your 10th standard mark sheet or certificate.
• Document 6: Transfer Certificate, Migration Certificate, or Character Certificate — Issued by your school, board, or university. This confirms you left your previous institution in good standing.
• Document 7: Certificate/Document proving your eligibility as selected during online application — This refers to any special eligibility criterion you claimed (e.g., sports quota, defence personnel child, etc.). The information bulletin lists these as criteria I to XI. Only bring this if you claimed one.
• Document 8: Copy of photo ID — Driving licence, PAN card, Voter ID, government or PSU employee card, school ID card, 12th class exam admit card, or Aadhaar card. Any one of these is acceptable.
• Document 9: Valid Caste certificate and sub-category certificate (if applicable) — If you are claiming SC, ST, OBC, or MBC reservation, bring the caste certificate. CRITICAL: OBC-NCL and MBC-NCL certificates must be valid for the year 2026–27. If your certificate is from 2025 or earlier, it will be rejected. Sub-category certificates (e.g., OBC-Creamy Layer status) must also be current.
• Document 10: Domicile certificate (if applicable) — If you are claiming domicile-based reservation or preference, bring your domicile certificate issued by the state.
• Document 11: Valid PwBD/PwD Eligibility certificate (if applicable) — If you are a person with disability, bring the certificate issued by one of the 62 centres designated by MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) for NEET UG 2026. Certificates from other sources will not be accepted.
• Document 12: Valid State EWS certificate (if applicable) — If you are claiming Economically Weaker Section (EWS) reservation, bring the certificate issued for the year 2026–27. Older certificates will be rejected.
• Document 13: Requisite Bond — A legal bond on stamp paper (see separate section below). This is mandatory for all allotted candidates.
• Document 14: Proforma 7 — Undertaking of submission of original documents on Rs. 50 stamp paper — A signed declaration that you are submitting original documents and accept responsibility if any are forged or photocopied.
• Document 15: Undertaking of aggregate PCB Marks (only if opting for BDS course) — If you are joining a BDS programme, you must sign an undertaking confirming your Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology marks meet the minimum PCB percentage required for your category (see BDS PCB eligibility section below).

The Legal Bond: What It Is and Why It Matters

When you are allotted a seat in stray vacancy, you must sign a legal bond on stamp paper of value not less than Rs. 500. This is a binding contract between you, a surety (usually a parent or guardian), and the allotted college. By signing, you agree to join the course within the stipulated time and to deposit all your original certificates with the college.

The bond states that if you fail to join or breach the conditions, you and your surety are jointly and severally liable to pay the college either the full tuition fee for the entire course OR Rs. 10 lakh (whichever is more), plus interest at government loan rates and all legal costs. This is a serious financial commitment — do not sign unless you are certain you will join.

The bond must be signed by: (1) you (the candidate), (2) your surety (parent/guardian), and (3) two witnesses. All signatures must be on the same stamp paper. The college will retain this bond for the duration of your course.

• Stamp paper value: minimum Rs. 500 (not Rs. 50 — this is different from Proforma 7)
• Signatories: candidate, surety, and 2 witnesses
• Liability: joint and several (both you and surety are liable)
• Amount at risk: full course fees or Rs. 10 lakh, whichever is more, plus interest and legal costs
• Retention: college keeps the bond until you complete the course

BDS Candidates: PCB Marks Eligibility Undertaking

If you are joining a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) course, you must sign a separate undertaking confirming that your combined aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology (PCB) meet the minimum percentage required by the National Dental Commission (NDC) for your category. This is mandatory — if your PCB percentage is below the minimum, your seat will be cancelled.

The minimum PCB percentages are: General (Unreserved) category: 50%; Reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC): 40%; Persons with Disability (PwD/PwBD): 45%. These are statutory minimums — there is no waiver. You must calculate your PCB percentage from your 10+2 mark sheet and enter it on the undertaking form. If you later discover your marks do not meet the minimum, your allotment will be cancelled and you may face legal action.

The undertaking form asks you to enter your marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology separately, calculate the total, and state the percentage. You must sign this form and bring it to the college on joining day.

• General category: minimum 50% in PCB
• SC/ST/OBC: minimum 40% in PCB
• PwD/PwBD: minimum 45% in PCB
• Calculation: (Physics marks + Chemistry marks + Biology/Biotechnology marks) ÷ (total marks out of) × 100
• Consequence of non-compliance: seat cancellation and financial liability

Proforma 7: The Undertaking of Original Documents

Proforma 7 is a signed declaration on Rs. 50 stamp paper in which you undertake that: (1) you have been allotted a seat in MBBS/BDS at the named college, (2) you have deposited all documents in original as required, (3) all documents are original and not forged or photocopied, and (4) if any document is found to be non-original or forged, you accept full responsibility and your admission will be cancelled.

This form must be signed by you and, if you are under 18 years old, also by your parent or guardian. It is a legal document — by signing, you are making a sworn statement. False declarations can result in criminal charges.

• Stamp paper value: Rs. 50 (not Rs. 500 — this is different from the bond)
• Signatories: candidate (and parent/guardian if under 18)
• Content: declaration that all documents are original and not forged
• Consequence of false declaration: admission cancellation and possible criminal action

What to Bring on Joining Day: Complete Checklist

On the day you report to your allotted college, bring the following in addition to the 15 enclosure documents listed above:

You must bring 4 passport-size photographs (same as the one affixed to your application form) and 2 complete sets of self-attested photocopies of all your original documents. 'Self-attested' means you have photocopied each document and written your name and signature on each photocopy. The college will use these copies for its records while retaining your originals.

• 4 passport-size photographs (same as on application form)
• 2 complete sets of self-attested photocopies of all original documents
• All 15 enclosure documents (originals)
• Signed bond on stamp paper (≥ Rs. 500)
• Signed Proforma 7 on Rs. 50 stamp paper
• Signed PCB undertaking (if BDS candidate)

Critical Traps: Documents That Get Rejected

Certain mistakes are automatic grounds for rejection. Read these carefully — they are the most common reasons candidates lose their seats.

**Caste and EWS certificates from the wrong year:** OBC-NCL, MBC-NCL, and EWS certificates must be issued for the year 2026–27. If your certificate is dated 2025 or earlier, it will be rejected. You cannot use an old certificate even if it was valid last year. Similarly, if you are OBC or MBC, your certificate must explicitly state your sub-category (e.g., 'OBC-Creamy Layer' or 'OBC-Non-Creamy Layer'). If the sub-category is missing, the certificate is incomplete.

**Missing mark sheets from multiple 12th attempts:** If you took your 12th class examination more than once, you must bring ALL mark sheets. If you only bring one, your application will be rejected. The board needs to verify that you passed 12th with Biology/Biotechnology in at least one attempt.

**PwD certificate from a non-designated centre:** If you are claiming disability, your certificate must be from one of the 62 centres designated by MCC for NEET UG 2026. Certificates from other medical boards or state authorities will not be accepted.

**BDS candidates with PCB below the minimum:** If you are joining BDS and your combined PCB percentage is below the minimum for your category (50% for General, 40% for SC/ST/OBC, 45% for PwD), your seat will be cancelled. There is no discretion or appeal — this is a statutory requirement.

**Bond not on stamp paper or unsigned:** The bond must be on stamp paper of value at least Rs. 500 and signed by you, your surety, and 2 witnesses. If it is on plain paper, unsigned, or missing any signature, it will be rejected.

**Photocopies instead of originals:** The college will not accept photocopies of certificates, mark sheets, or ID proofs as originals. You must bring the actual documents issued by the school, board, or government authority.

How to Prepare: Step-by-Step

Start preparing now, even before you know if you will be allotted a seat. Gathering these documents takes time, and some (like caste certificates or PwD certificates) may require visits to government offices.

**Step 1: Collect all academic documents.** Gather your NEET score card, 12th mark sheet(s), 10th mark sheet, and any transfer or character certificates from your school or board. If you took 12th more than once, collect all mark sheets.

**Step 2: Verify your date of birth.** Check that your 10th mark sheet or certificate clearly shows your date of birth. If it does not, obtain a certified copy from your school.

**Step 3: Obtain or verify category certificates.** If you are claiming SC, ST, OBC, MBC, EWS, or disability reservation, obtain the relevant certificate now. Check that it is valid for 2026–27 and, if applicable, shows the correct sub-category. If your certificate is old, apply for a new one immediately.

**Step 4: Prepare the bond.** Once you are allotted a seat, you will know the college name. Prepare the bond on stamp paper (≥ Rs. 500) with your surety and 2 witnesses. Have all parties sign on the same stamp paper.

**Step 5: Prepare Proforma 7.** On Rs. 50 stamp paper, write out the undertaking (template provided in the notice) and sign it. If you are under 18, have your parent/guardian sign as well.

**Step 6: For BDS candidates, calculate PCB percentage.** Add your Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology marks from your 10+2 mark sheet. Divide by the total marks and multiply by 100. Verify this meets the minimum for your category. Fill out the PCB undertaking form with these figures.

**Step 7: Make photocopies.** Once you have all documents, make 2 complete sets of self-attested photocopies. Write your name and signature on each photocopy.

**Step 8: Prepare photographs.** Arrange 4 passport-size photographs identical to the one on your application form.

**Step 9: Organize and verify.** Use the checklist in this article to verify you have every document. Arrange them in order. Do not leave anything to the last minute.

What Happens After You Submit Documents?

Once you report to the college with all documents and sign the bond, the college will retain your original certificates for the duration of your course. You will receive a receipt or acknowledgment. The college will verify your documents and, if everything is in order, confirm your admission.

If any document is found to be missing, incorrect, or forged, the college will reject your application and cancel your allotment. You will not be eligible for any further counselling round. The bond will be enforced, and you may be liable for the full course fees or Rs. 10 lakh plus interest.

If you are a BDS candidate and your PCB percentage is found to be below the minimum, your seat will be cancelled immediately, even if you have already joined classes.
