Unlock My College ListWhat is the Stray Vacancy Round?
The Stray Vacancy Round is the final counselling round in Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 for MBBS and BDS seats. It is held after Rounds 1, 2, and 3 to fill any remaining vacant seats in government, private, and management colleges across the state. Candidates who were not allotted a seat in earlier rounds, or who resigned from their allotted seats, are eligible to participate in this round.
In the Stray Vacancy Round, you can apply for any vacant seat in any college, regardless of your category or previous allotment. The round operates on a first-come, first-served basis — once you submit your choice and the seat is allotted, it is yours if you complete the security deposit and document verification process.
Why the Security Deposit Deadline Matters
The security deposit is not optional — it is a mandatory step to confirm your participation in the Stray Vacancy Round. The deposit consists of two parts: (1) submission of all required documents, and (2) signing and submitting the bond (surety bond for government seats, or as specified for private/management seats).
Once you are allotted a seat in the Stray Vacancy Round, you must deposit your documents and bond within the specified time to activate your choice-filling window. If you do not deposit by the deadline, your allotment is cancelled and the seat goes back to the pool. This deadline extension to 9 PM today is your final opportunity — there will be no further extensions.
Today's Deadline: 21 October 2026, 9 PM
The security deposit deadline for the Stray Vacancy Round has been extended to 9 PM on 21 October 2026. This is the absolute final time by which you must submit your documents and bond to the counselling board. The portal will close at 9 PM, and no submissions will be accepted after that time.
If you have been allotted a seat in the Stray Vacancy Round (as per the allotment list released on 21 October 2026), you must report to the designated document submission centre (typically SMS Medical College, Jaipur, or your allotted college) with all required documents and the signed bond before 9 PM today. Do not delay — the submission window is closing in hours.
Documents Required for Security Deposit
You must bring all original documents and copies as specified by the Rajasthan NEET UG Board. The exact list of documents is provided in the official 'List of Documents Bond and Applicable Annexures for Stray Vacancy Round Participation' notice dated 18–20 October 2026. Common documents include your NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets, caste/category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and identity proof.
The bond is a legal undertaking that you sign, confirming your commitment to join the allotted college and comply with all regulations. For government seats, a surety bond (with a guarantor) is required. For private and management seats, the bond format may differ — check the specific bond document for your college type. Bring the bond already signed by you and your guarantor (if required) to speed up the submission process.

How to Submit Your Security Deposit
You must submit your documents and bond in person at the designated submission centre. For most candidates, this is the Academic Block of SMS Medical College, Jaipur. Some colleges may have their own submission desks — check the official notice to confirm your submission location.
Arrive early to avoid queues and ensure you complete the process before 9 PM. The submission process is straightforward: you will hand over your documents and signed bond to the counselling staff, who will verify them, stamp them, and issue you a receipt. Keep this receipt safe — it is proof of your submission and will be needed for future correspondence.
After successful submission, your choice-filling window will be activated. You will then be able to log into the counselling portal and fill your choices for available seats. The exact timing of when choice filling opens will be announced by the board — monitor the official portal (ug.neetrajasthan.com) for updates.
- Arrive at the submission centre (SMS Medical College, Jaipur, or your allotted college) with all documents and signed bond
- Submit documents to the counselling staff at the designated desk
- Receive a stamped receipt confirming submission
- Wait for the board to activate your choice-filling window (timing to be announced)
- Log into the portal and fill your choices once the window opens
What Happens If You Miss the 9 PM Deadline?
If you do not submit your documents and bond by 9 PM on 21 October 2026, your allotment in the Stray Vacancy Round will be cancelled automatically. You will not be able to participate further in this round, and the seat will be released back to the pool for other candidates.
There is no grace period, no exceptions, and no way to recover a missed deadline. Once the portal closes at 9 PM, submissions will not be accepted. If you have a genuine emergency preventing you from submitting today, contact the counselling board immediately — but do not rely on an extension, as none has been announced.
Choice Filling: What Comes Next
After you successfully deposit your documents and bond, the board will activate your choice-filling window. This is when you log into the counselling portal and select which seats you wish to be considered for. In the Stray Vacancy Round, you can choose from all vacant seats across all colleges — government, private, and management — subject to your eligibility.
Choice filling is typically a short window (often 24–48 hours). Once the window closes, the board will process your choices and allot you a seat based on availability and your preferences. The allotment is final, and you will be required to join the college within the specified joining period.
Important Traps and Common Mistakes
Many candidates lose their seats because they misunderstand the security deposit requirement or miss the deadline. Here are the most common mistakes:
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
**Mistake 1: Thinking the allotment is final without deposit.** An allotment is provisional until you deposit your documents and bond. If you do not deposit by the deadline, the allotment is cancelled.
**Mistake 2: Bringing incomplete documents.** If even one required document is missing, your submission may be rejected or delayed. Check the official document list carefully and bring everything.
**Mistake 3: Forgetting to get the bond signed.** The bond must be signed by you and, for government seats, by your guarantor. Unsigned bonds are not accepted. Prepare this in advance.
**Mistake 4: Arriving too late.** The deadline is 9 PM, but if you arrive at 8:50 PM with a large queue ahead of you, you may not be processed in time. Arrive well before 9 PM.
**Mistake 5: Submitting at the wrong location.** Confirm your submission centre in advance. Submitting at the wrong college or centre will not count.
