According to the newly released matrix, 3,023 MBBS seats and 467 BDS seats are available across different government, private, management and NRI categories for the third round of Rajasthan NEET UG counselling. A separate PwBD/PwD seat matrix has also been issued for eligible candidates.

The release of the vacant seat matrix is an important development for NEET UG 2026 aspirants who are looking for admission to medical and dental colleges in Rajasthan. Candidates can use the matrix to identify available seats before submitting or modifying their choices during Round 3 counselling.

Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 Round 3 Seat Matrix: MBBS and BDS Seats

The Round 3 seat matrix provides a category-wise picture of the available MBBS and BDS seats.

Thus, the Round 3 matrix contains a total of 3,490 MBBS and BDS seats, including 3,023 MBBS seats and 467 BDS seats.

The availability of seats across different categories means that candidates should examine the detailed college-wise matrix carefully before locking their preferences.

Government MBBS Seats Available in Round 3

The Round 3 matrix includes vacancies in several government medical colleges across Rajasthan.

Among the notable government MBBS vacancies are:

• SMS Medical College, Jaipur – 11 seats

• Government Medical College, Bhilwara – 7 seats

• Government Medical College, Karauli – 7 seats

• Dr SN Medical College, Jodhpur – 7 seats

The actual availability may vary by category, quota and seat type. Therefore, candidates should refer to the detailed Round 3 matrix rather than assuming that every vacant seat is available to every candidate.

Some of the colleges with notable NRI vacancies include:

Candidates applying under the NRI category should ensure that they satisfy all applicable eligibility and document-verification requirements before participating in the counselling process.

Private Medical Colleges Account for a Large Share of Vacancies

A substantial portion of the Round 3 MBBS vacancies is available in private medical colleges.

The matrix shows notable vacancies at institutions including:

• Balvir Singh Tomar Institute, Jaipur – 245 seats

• NIMS Jaipur – 223 seats

• Pacific Institute, Udaipur – 201 seats

• Pacific Medical College, Udaipur – 159 seats

Separate PwBD/PwD Seat Matrix Released

Along with the general Round 3 seat matrix, the Rajasthan counselling authority has also released a separate PwBD/PwD seat matrix.

The available PwBD/PwD seats are distributed across MBBS and BDS categories and include different reservation categories such as Unreserved, EWS, OBC, MBC, SC, ST and SA, wherever applicable.

The published matrix indicates 57 government seats and 49 management seats reserved for eligible PwBD/PwD candidates across MBBS and BDS under the specified seat categories. Candidates claiming PwBD/PwD reservation must satisfy the prescribed disability-certification requirements.

Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 Counselling 2026: Important Dates

The release of the seat matrix coincides with the opening of the Round 3 counselling process.

The Round 3 registration window for fresh candidates begins on September 23, while choice filling is scheduled to commence on September 24. Candidates must complete the required application and fee formalities within the prescribed deadlines.

Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 Security Deposit

Candidates participating in Round 3 are required to pay the applicable security deposit according to the seat type they intend to participate for.

Candidates who have already deposited the applicable amount during an earlier round and whose deposit has not been forfeited generally do not need to pay the amount again. However, candidates seeking eligibility for a different seat type may be required to deposit the applicable difference.

Who Needs to Participate in Round 3 Choice Filling?

Candidates should carefully check their status before proceeding with Round 3 choices.

Choice filling is particularly relevant for:

• Candidates who registered but did not receive a seat in Rounds 1 or 2.

• Candidates eligible for participation in Round 3 as per the counselling rules.

• Candidates who are permitted to participate in the round after surrendering or resigning from an earlier seat, subject to applicable conditions.

• Fresh candidates who are eligible and complete the Round 3 registration process.

Candidates who have already secured a seat should carefully review the rules applicable to their existing allotment before making any decision regarding further participation.

How to Use the Rajasthan Round 3 Seat Matrix

The seat matrix is an important tool for preparing the Round 3 preference list.

Candidates should first identify the colleges and courses in which vacancies are available. They should then check whether the particular seat is open under their category and whether they meet the relevant eligibility requirements.

While preparing choices, candidates should consider:

College preference: Review the location, infrastructure and academic environment of the medical or dental college.

Course preference: Candidates should clearly distinguish between MBBS and BDS choices.

Seat category: Check whether the seat is government, private, management or NRI.

Fee implications: Private and management seats may have substantially different fee structures from government seats.

Category eligibility: Candidates should select categories for which they are actually eligible.

Previous allotment: Candidates who participated in earlier rounds should check the rules governing their existing seat before submitting new choices.

How Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 Seat Allotment Will Be Conducted

The Round 3 allotment will be prepared after the completion of registration, merit-list preparation and choice filling.

The allocation process will take into account factors such as:

• NEET UG 2026 merit/rank

• Choices submitted by candidates

• Availability of seats

• Category and reservation rules

• Eligibility conditions

• Applicable state counselling rules

The authority will first release an indicative allotment result, followed by the provisional Round 3 allotment result. Candidates receiving seats will then be required to download their allotment letter, complete the prescribed fee payment and report to the allotted college.

Important Instructions for Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 Candidates

Candidates should not wait until the final day to complete their registration or choice-filling process.

They should carefully verify all details entered in the application form before final submission. Once choices are locked or auto-locked after the deadline, changes may not be possible.

Candidates should also download and preserve copies of:

• Submitted application form

• Fee payment receipt

• Choice-filling details

• Seat allotment letter

• Relevant certificates

• Other counselling-related documents

Candidates applying under NRI, Defence/Para Military or PwBD/PwD categories should pay particular attention to certificate verification dates and the prescribed documentation.

Rajasthan MBBS BDS Round 3 2026: What Candidates Should Do Now

With the Round 3 seat matrix now available, eligible candidates can begin evaluating the vacancies and preparing their college preferences.

Fresh candidates should complete registration as soon as the application window opens, while candidates already registered for the counselling process should check whether any additional action is required from their side.

The release of 3,023 MBBS and 467 BDS seats gives candidates another opportunity to secure admission in Rajasthan for the 2026-27 academic session. However, the availability of a seat in the matrix does not guarantee allotment, as final allocation depends on merit, choices, category, eligibility and the availability of seats at the time of allotment.

Candidates should therefore study the complete college-wise and category-wise Round 3 seat matrix carefully before locking their preferences.
