With registration and choice-filling already closed, the focus now shifts to the seat allotment result on November 7 and the critical reporting deadline of November 16. Missing either milestone means losing your admission for the year.

The Special Stray Round is the final phase of Rajasthan's NEET UG counselling for 2026–27. It fills MBBS and BDS seats that remain vacant after the main counselling rounds and earlier stray rounds. This round is conducted by the Rajasthan NEET UG Medical and Dental Admission Counselling Board, with SMS Medical College in Jaipur serving as the nodal centre.
For many aspirants, this round represents the last window to secure a medical or dental seat in Rajasthan's state quota system. Once this round concludes, no further counselling will take place. This makes it critical for eligible candidates who did not get a seat in earlier phases to participate actively and meet all deadlines.

What happens after the seat allotment result is declared?
On November 7, the board will release the provisional seat allotment result. Candidates who are allotted a seat must download their allotment letter from the portal immediately. This letter is your proof of allocation and is required during college reporting.
You then have until 5:00 PM on November 16 to report to your allotted college with all required original documents. Reporting is mandatory; failure to do so within this window means you forfeit the seat and cannot claim admission for 2026–27. There is no extension or grace period for this deadline.
Documents you must carry for college reporting
Prepare all required documents well in advance to avoid last-minute delays. The board has specified a mandatory list of documents that must be presented at the time of reporting. Incomplete documentation can result in rejection of your admission.

- NEET UG 2026 scorecard
- NEET UG 2026 admit card
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets (original or certified copies)
- Rajasthan domicile certificate
- Seat allotment letter (downloaded from the portal)
- Bond amount as per board rules for state quota admissions (ensure you have this ready)
Understanding the state quota bond requirement
All candidates admitted through the state quota in Rajasthan are required to sign a bond as per the board's regulations. This bond is a legal commitment that binds you to serve in Rajasthan or comply with other conditions set by the state government. The exact bond amount and terms are specified by the board and must be fulfilled at the time of reporting.
Ensure you understand the bond terms before reporting to the college. If you are unable or unwilling to sign the bond, you cannot complete your admission, even if a seat has been allotted to you.
Why this is your final opportunity in 2026–27
The Special Stray Round is explicitly the last counselling phase for Rajasthan NEET UG 2026. No further rounds, stray rounds, or spot admissions will follow. This means if you do not secure a seat in this round, you will not get another chance to be admitted to an MBBS or BDS programme in Rajasthan for the 2026–27 academic year.
This finality makes it crucial to participate actively, fill your choices thoughtfully, and meet all deadlines without exception. Candidates who miss the reporting deadline will lose their seat permanently and may need to consider other states or defer their admission to the next year.
