The Rajasthan NEET UG Medical and Dental Admission Counselling Board has released the provisional merit list and seat allotment results 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.
Candidates allotted seats in Rajasthan's stray round must report at their college between October 22 and October 26, 2026—this is your final opportunity to secure an MBBS or BDS seat under state quota.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the Stray Vacancy Round and Why It Matters
The stray vacancy round is the concluding phase of Rajasthan's NEET UG counselling process. It exists to fill seats that were not taken by candidates in the three main counselling rounds. These vacancies can arise when candidates decline their allotted seats, fail to report on time, or choose to participate in all-India quota counselling instead.
For 2026, this round is critical because it represents the absolute last chance to secure an MBBS or BDS seat under Rajasthan's state quota. Once this round closes, any remaining vacant seats will not be filled through state counselling. This makes the stray round the final lifeline for aspirants who did not succeed in earlier phases but still wish to study medicine or dentistry in Rajasthan.

What Happens If You Miss the Reporting Deadline
If you do not report at your allotted college by 8:00 PM on October 26, 2026, your seat will be forfeited. The counselling board will not hold your seat or offer you a second chance to report. Your admission will be cancelled, and you will lose the opportunity to study MBBS or BDS in Rajasthan for the 2026 batch.
This is not a flexible deadline. The stray round is the final phase of state counselling, and no mop-up or additional rounds will follow. If you are allotted a seat and wish to pursue it, prioritize reporting on time. If you have genuine concerns about your allotment or need clarification, contact the counselling board immediately rather than waiting until the last day.
Understanding Your Allotment: College and Course Details
Your allotment result will specify the exact college, course (MBBS or BDS), and category under which you have been allotted a seat. Carefully verify all details before reporting. If there is any discrepancy or if you believe an error has been made, raise an objection immediately through the official portal.
The allotment is based on your NEET UG rank, category, and the availability of vacant seats in each college. You cannot request a change of college or course after allotment. If you are unhappy with your allotment, you have the option to decline it and not report, but this means forfeiting your chance at a state quota seat for 2026. Weigh your options carefully before the reporting deadline.
Next Steps After Reporting: Admission Confirmation
Once you report at your college with all required documents and fees, the college will verify your eligibility and complete your admission formalities. You will receive an admission confirmation letter and details about course commencement, hostel allocation (if applicable), and further instructions.
Keep all admission documents safe for future reference. Your admission is provisional until the college completes its internal verification and the counselling board issues the final admission list. Stay in touch with your college for any updates or additional requirements during this period.
