Security Deposit Requirements by College Type
After registration, you must deposit a security amount before filling your college and course choices. The deposit amount varies depending on whether you are applying to a government or private institution and the type of course. This security deposit is held during the admission process and is later adjusted against your final admission fee, so it is not an additional cost—it is a temporary hold.
Government medical and dental colleges require a security deposit of Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000, depending on your category. Private medical colleges require a significantly higher deposit of Rs 2,00,000, while private dental colleges require Rs 10,000. Ensure you have sufficient funds available before the choice-filling window opens on November 7.

- Must be deposited before choice filling begins

Who Can Apply and Eligibility Rules
The Special Stray Round is open to all candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026. This includes fresh candidates who did not register in any earlier counselling round, as well as candidates who held a seat previously but withdrew from it. There is no restriction based on how many rounds you have already participated in—if you are a qualified NEET UG 2026 candidate, you are eligible.
However, you must satisfy Rajasthan's domicile or other notified eligibility norms to be considered for admission. Domicile requirements typically mean you must have studied in Rajasthan schools or have a Rajasthan domicile certificate. If you do not meet these criteria, you may still be eligible under other notified categories, but you should verify this with the official notification before registering. Ineligible candidates will not be considered for seat allotment even if they register and fill choices.

The required documents include your NEET UG 2026 scorecard and admit card, the allotment letter downloaded from the portal, your Class 10 and 12 marksheets, and any applicable caste or domicile certificates. You will also need recent passport-size photographs and a signed bond proforma as per the notification.

Why This Is Your Final Chance: No More Rounds After This
The Special Stray Round is explicitly the last state-level counselling phase for the 2026 academic session in Rajasthan. No further counselling rounds will be conducted after November. If you do not secure a seat in this round, you will not have another opportunity through Rajasthan's official counselling process for this year. This makes timely action and careful choice filling absolutely essential.
Many candidates miss earlier rounds due to score uncertainty, personal circumstances, or strategic waiting. The Special Stray Round exists precisely to give such candidates one final opportunity. However, the compressed timeline and limited remaining seats mean you must act decisively. Prepare your documents now, ensure you have the required fees and security deposit amounts ready, and plan to complete registration by November 5 at 6 PM. Delaying even by a few hours could mean missing the registration window entirely.
- This is the final Rajasthan NEET UG counselling round for 2026
- No further rounds will be conducted after this
- Remaining seats are typically fewer and more competitive
- Compressed timeline requires immediate action
- Missing registration deadline means losing all chances for this year
