Unlock My College ListWhat is the Stray Vacancy Round?
The stray vacancy round is the final counselling round in Rajasthan's NEET UG 2026 admission process. It fills seats that remain vacant after candidates allotted in Rounds 1, 2, and 3 either do not join or resign from their allotted colleges. These are called 'stray vacancies' because they arise unpredictably as candidates make their final choices.
Unlike the main rounds, the stray vacancy round is open only to candidates who have already participated in earlier rounds and are still seeking admission. It is a single-round process with no further upgradation or resignation options after joining. Once you join a college in the stray vacancy round, that is your final seat.
Who Was Eligible to Participate?
To participate in the stray vacancy round, you had to meet specific eligibility criteria set by the Rajasthan counselling board. The board released a provisional state merit list on 21 October 2026 listing all candidates whose document verification and security deposit were completed successfully. Only candidates on this verified list were eligible to fill choices and compete for stray vacancy seats.
Eligibility was based on: (1) having a valid NEET UG 2026 score, (2) completing online document verification at the designated centre, (3) depositing the required security bond by the deadline (extended to 9 PM on 21 October 2026), and (4) filling your choice of colleges and courses before the choice-filling window closed. Candidates who did not complete all these steps were not eligible.
- Valid NEET UG 2026 score card
- Completed online document verification
- Security bond deposited by deadline
- Choice form filled during the window
Important Dates in the Stray Vacancy Round
The stray vacancy round followed a compressed schedule because it is the final round. Document verification and security deposit collection happened over three days (18–20 October 2026), with an extension granted on 21 October until 9 PM due to high volume. The provisional merit list was released on 21 October 2026, showing all candidates who had successfully completed verification and deposit. The result — the final allotment list — is now being prepared and will be declared shortly.
Once the result is released, candidates will have a short window to report to their allotted college and complete joining formalities. The exact joining deadline will be stated in the result notice, so check the official portal immediately when the result is announced.
- 18–20 October 2026: Document verification and security deposit
- 21 October 2026 (extended to 9 PM): Final deadline for security deposit
- 21 October 2026: Provisional merit list released
- 22 October 2026 onwards: Result to be declared shortly

What If You Are Allotted a Seat?
If your name appears in the stray vacancy round allotment list, you have been offered a seat at one of the colleges in Rajasthan. The allotment letter will specify the college, the course (MBBS or BDS), the category under which you have been allotted, and the joining deadline. You must report to the college on or before the deadline to complete joining formalities. Failure to join by the deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat, and you will not be eligible for any further counselling.
When you report to the college, bring all original documents (as listed in the joining checklist), your allotment letter, NEET score card, and any bonds or undertakings required. The college will verify your documents, collect fees, and issue a joining certificate. Once you join, your admission is final — there is no further round or option to change your seat.
- Check the exact joining deadline in your allotment letter
- Gather all original documents and certificates
- Report to the college's admission desk by the deadline
- Complete document verification and fee payment
- Obtain the joining certificate from the college
What If You Are Not Allotted a Seat?
If your name does not appear in the stray vacancy round allotment list, it means no seat matching your choices and eligibility was available in this round. Since the stray vacancy round is the final counselling round for NEET UG 2026 in Rajasthan, there will be no further rounds. Your admission process through Rajasthan's state counselling ends here.
If you wish to pursue MBBS or BDS, you may explore other options: (1) apply for admission through other state counselling processes if you are eligible, (2) apply for NRI seats if you have NRI status, (3) apply for private college management quota seats (if available and if you meet their criteria), or (4) consider admission in other states or through deemed universities. Consult the official portal or contact the counselling board for guidance on alternative pathways.
- No further state counselling rounds will be held
- Explore other state counselling portals if eligible
- Check private college management quota options
- Consider NRI seat applications if applicable
- Contact the counselling board for alternative guidance
Documents You Will Need at Joining
When you report to your allotted college to join, you must bring all original documents for verification. The college will cross-check these against your application and the documents you submitted during the verification process. Missing or incorrect documents can delay your joining or, in serious cases, lead to cancellation of your allotment. The Rajasthan counselling board has published a detailed checklist of required documents; ensure you have every item before visiting the college.
Original documents typically include: NEET score card, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, AADHAR card, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, medical fitness certificate, and any bonds or undertakings signed during counselling. Some colleges may also require a character certificate from your school or college. Bring photocopies as well, as the college may need to attach them to your file.
- NEET UG 2026 score card (original)
- 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates (originals)
- AADHAR card or government-issued ID
- Caste certificate (if applicable, original)
- Domicile/residence certificate (original)
- Medical fitness certificate
- Character certificate from school/college
- Allotment letter (printed from portal)
- Bonds and undertakings (signed copies)
- Photocopies of all above documents

Seats Available in the Stray Vacancy Round
The stray vacancy round offers only the seats that remain unfilled after Rounds 1, 2, and 3. The number and type of these seats vary depending on how many candidates joined in earlier rounds and how many resigned. The board released an updated seat matrix on 21 October 2026 showing the vacant seats available for the stray vacancy round. This matrix included both MBBS and BDS seats across government, RUHS-CMS, government society (RAJMES), and private colleges.
The seat matrix also breaks down vacancies by category (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwBD/PwD) and by college. For example, if a candidate allotted an MBBS seat at a government college in Round 2 resigned, that seat becomes available in the stray vacancy round. The number of such vacancies is typically small because most candidates who are allotted seats in earlier rounds do join. However, every seat counts, and the stray vacancy round is the last chance to secure admission through state counselling.
- Seats from candidates who did not join in Rounds 1, 2, or 3
- Seats from candidates who resigned after joining
- Both MBBS and BDS courses available
- Government, RUHS-CMS, RAJMES, and private colleges included
- Seats available across all categories (General, OBC, SC, ST, PwBD/PwD)
Security Bond and Undertakings
To participate in the stray vacancy round, you were required to deposit a security bond along with your documents. This bond is a financial commitment that ensures you will join the college if allotted a seat. The amount of the bond varies depending on the type of college and course. For government MBBS seats, the bond is typically higher than for private college seats. The bond is refundable once you complete your course or if you resign after joining (subject to the college's refund policy).
You were also required to sign an undertaking (a legal declaration) stating that you understand the terms of the stray vacancy round — specifically, that there is no further round after this, and that once you join, you cannot resign or seek upgradation. This undertaking is binding and protects both you and the college. If you have not yet deposited the bond or signed the undertaking, you are not eligible for the stray vacancy round result.
- Security bond amount varies by college type and course
- Bond is refundable after course completion or resignation
- Undertaking confirms no further rounds after stray vacancy
- Undertaking confirms no resignation or upgradation after joining
- Both bond and undertaking were required for eligibility
Common Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected
Several candidates lose their eligibility or face delays because of preventable errors. The most common mistake is not depositing the security bond by the deadline. Even though the deadline was extended to 9 PM on 21 October 2026, some candidates missed it. If you did not deposit the bond, you are not on the verified merit list and will not appear in the result. Another frequent error is submitting incomplete or incorrect documents during verification. For example, a caste certificate that does not clearly show the sub-category (OBC-NCL, SC, ST) or a domicile certificate issued before a certain date may be rejected.
A third common issue is not filling your choice of colleges and courses after depositing the bond. The portal only enables choice-filling after your documents and bond are verified. If you did not fill your choices, the system has no information about which colleges you prefer, and you cannot be allotted a seat. Finally, some candidates provide incorrect information in their application (e.g., wrong category, wrong domicile state) and discover the error only after the result. Always double-check your application before submitting and verify your details during the document verification process.
- ⚠️ Security bond not deposited by deadline = not eligible
- ⚠️ Incomplete or incorrect documents = verification rejected
- ⚠️ Caste certificate without clear sub-category = rejected
- ⚠️ Domicile certificate issued too early = may be rejected
- ⚠️ Choice form not filled after bond deposit = no allotment
- ⚠️ Incorrect category or domicile in application = mismatch in result
What Happens After You Join?
Once you join a college in the stray vacancy round, your admission is final. You will be enrolled as a regular student in the MBBS or BDS course. The college will issue you a joining certificate, and you will be registered with the university (RUHS or the relevant medical/dental university). Your name will appear in the college's official admission list, and you will be eligible to attend classes, take exams, and complete your degree.
Important: there is no further counselling round, no option to resign and seek another seat, and no upgradation after joining in the stray vacancy round. If you join and later wish to leave, you will have to follow the college's resignation policy, which typically involves forfeiting your security bond and paying a penalty. Therefore, before joining, ensure that the college and course are your genuine choice.
- Admission is final; no further rounds or upgradation
- You cannot resign and seek another seat
- Joining certificate issued by the college
- Registration with the university begins
- Resignation after joining incurs penalties and bond forfeiture

Can I resign from my allotted seat in the stray vacancy round?
No. The stray vacancy round is the final counselling round, and once you join, you cannot resign or seek another seat. This is a binding commitment. If you resign after joining, you will forfeit your security bond and may face penalties. Therefore, only join if you are certain about your choice.
What if I am not allotted a seat in the stray vacancy round?
If your name does not appear in the result, it means no seat matching your choices was available. Since this is the final round, there will be no further state counselling. You may explore other options: apply through other state counselling portals, apply for NRI seats, or consider private college management quota seats. Contact the counselling board for guidance.
I did not deposit the security bond by the deadline. Am I eligible for the stray vacancy round result?
No. The security bond deposit was mandatory for eligibility. If you did not deposit it by 9 PM on 21 October 2026 (the extended deadline), you are not on the verified merit list and will not appear in the result. You are not eligible for the stray vacancy round.
What documents do I need to bring when I join the college?
Bring all original documents: NEET score card, 10th and 12th certificates, AADHAR card, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, medical fitness certificate, character certificate, allotment letter, and signed bonds/undertakings. Also bring photocopies. The college will verify these against your application during joining.
Can I change my choice of college after the result is declared?
No. The allotment is based on your choices filled during the choice-filling window and the available seats. Once the result is declared, your allotment is final. You cannot change your college or course. You must join the college allotted to you or forfeit your seat.
Is there any further counselling round after the stray vacancy round?
No. The stray vacancy round is the final counselling round for NEET UG 2026 in Rajasthan. After this, there will be no more state counselling rounds. If you are not allotted in this round, your admission through Rajasthan state counselling ends.
What if my documents were rejected during verification?
If your documents were rejected, you would not have been able to deposit the security bond, and you would not appear on the provisional merit list released on 21 October 2026. If you believe your documents were incorrectly rejected, contact the counselling board immediately with proof. However, if the deadline has passed, you may not be eligible for this round.
Can I apply for NRI seats if I am not allotted in the stray vacancy round?
NRI seats are separate from the state counselling process and have their own application and merit list. If you have NRI status and are interested in NRI seats, you can apply separately through the designated NRI portal or college. However, this is independent of the state counselling result.
What is the security bond amount for different colleges?
The security bond amount varies by college type and course. For government MBBS seats, it is typically higher (often ₹5–10 lakhs or more). For private colleges and BDS seats, it may be lower. The exact amount was specified in the stray vacancy round information bulletin. Check the official portal or contact the counselling board for the exact amount for your college.
The stray vacancy round result for Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 MBBS and BDS will be declared shortly. Starting today (22 October 2026), check ug.neetrajasthan.com regularly for the allotment list. If you are allotted a seat, note the joining deadline from your allotment letter and report to the college with all required original documents.
