The Rajasthan NEET UG Medical and Dental Admission Counselling Board has released the provisional merit list and seat allotment result for the stray vacancy round—the final phase of state counselling for 2026. This round fills MBBS and BDS seats that remained empty after the first three rounds of counselling. If your name appears in the allotment result, you must report in person at your assigned college within a strict five-day window. Missing this deadline means losing your seat, as no further state-level counselling rounds will follow.
The stray round is your last opportunity to secure an MBBS or BDS seat under Rajasthan's state quota for 2026; reporting must happen between October 22 and October 26, 2026.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the stray vacancy round and why does it matter?
The stray vacancy round is the concluding phase of Rajasthan's NEET UG counselling process. It exists to fill any MBBS and BDS seats that were not claimed by candidates during the first three rounds of seat allotment. These are genuine vacancies—seats that went unfilled because either no eligible candidate chose them, or candidates who were allotted seats did not report or chose to withdraw.
For a NEET aspirant, this round represents the final window to secure a medical or dental seat under the state quota. Once this round closes, any remaining vacant seats will not be filled through state counselling. This makes the stray round critically important: if you are allotted a seat here and do not report, you will lose your chance to study MBBS or BDS in Rajasthan for the 2026 batch.
When was the merit list released and what documents are now live?
The Rajasthan NEET UG MDACB released the provisional merit list and seat allotment result on October 22, 2026. Both documents are available on the official portal at ug.neetrajasthan.com. The merit list shows all candidates who qualified for the stray round based on their NEET UG rank and category. The allotment result specifies which college and course (MBBS or BDS) each selected candidate has been assigned.
These are provisional documents, meaning they are subject to verification and confirmation. However, candidates whose names appear in the allotment result should treat their assignment as confirmed and begin preparing to report immediately.

Why this is your final chance to secure a state quota seat
After the stray round closes on October 26, 2026, Rajasthan's state counselling process will be complete. Any MBBS or BDS seats that remain vacant after this round will not be refilled through further state-level counselling. This is different from some other states that conduct mop-up rounds; Rajasthan's stray round is explicitly the last opportunity.
If you are allotted a seat in this round and do not report, you will lose it permanently. There will be no second chance to claim it. This underscores the importance of checking the allotment result immediately, confirming your assignment, and arranging to report within the five-day window.
What happens if you are not allotted a seat in the stray round?
If your name does not appear in the stray round allotment result, it means no MBBS or BDS seat under the state quota was available for you at that time. This does not mean you have no options. You should monitor the official portal for any mop-up notice or final seat matrix that may be released. Additionally, keep track of the all-India quota stray round conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), which operates separately from state counselling and may have seats available.
Some candidates also explore options in other states' counselling processes or consider private medical and dental colleges. Consult your school counselor or a NEET guidance expert to understand all available pathways.
