The updated seat matrix is particularly important for candidates participating in Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 counselling because the number and distribution of available seats can change after candidates resign from seats allotted in earlier rounds. Candidates can use the revised matrix to assess available options before completing or modifying their college and course preferences.

The latest matrix comprises 3,101 MBBS seats and 467 BDS seats. It covers vacancies across government medical colleges, RUHS CMS and RAJMES institutions, private medical colleges, government dental colleges and private dental colleges.

Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 Seat Matrix 2026: MBBS and BDS Seat Break-Up

The updated seat matrix provides vacancies across different types of institutions and seat categories.

The figures show that private medical colleges account for a substantial share of the Round 3 MBBS vacancies, while NRI seats and management seats also form an important part of the available pool.

3,101 MBBS Seats Available in Round 3

A total of 3,101 MBBS seats have been included in the updated Round 3 matrix.

These seats are distributed among government medical colleges, RUHS CMS and RAJMES institutions, NRI seats and private medical colleges.

The government-seat component comprises 231 MBBS seats across 33 colleges. Among the institutions with notable government-seat vacancies are:

• Government Medical College, Kota – 15 seats

• SMS Medical College, Jaipur – 12 seats

• Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Ajmer – 11 seats

• Government Medical College, Banswara – 11 seats

• Government Medical College, Barmer – 11 seats

• Sardar Patel Medical College, Bikaner – 10 seats

• Dr SN Medical College, Jodhpur – 9 seats

• RNT Medical College, Udaipur – 8 seats

The availability of seats in government institutions is particularly significant because these seats generally attract intense competition from candidates seeking comparatively lower-cost medical education.

RUHS CMS and RAJMES Management Seats

The Round 3 matrix also contains 57 management MBBS seats associated with RUHS CMS and RAJMES colleges.

These seats are distributed across 25 entries in the matrix. Candidates considering these options should carefully check the applicable fee structure and eligibility conditions before including them in their choices.

317 MBBS NRI Seats Listed

The revised matrix contains 317 NRI MBBS seats across 28 colleges.

Some of the institutions with comparatively higher numbers of NRI vacancies include:

• Government Medical College, Dungarpur – 22 seats

• Government Medical College, Churu – 20 seats

• Government Medical College, Barmer – 19 seats

• Government Medical College, Pali – 19 seats

• Government Medical College, Bhilwara – 18 seats

Candidates eligible under the NRI category should carefully review the applicable documentation, eligibility requirements and fee conditions before filling their choices.

Private Medical Colleges Account for Most MBBS Vacancies

Private medical colleges constitute the largest component of the Rajasthan Round 3 MBBS seat matrix.

There are 2,061 general seats and 435 management seats available in private medical colleges, together accounting for 2,496 MBBS seats.

Some of the private institutions showing comparatively large numbers of general-category vacancies include:

The management-seat vacancies in private colleges vary by institution, with several colleges reporting more than 30 seats in this category.

Candidates should not select a private college solely on the basis of the number of vacant seats. They should also consider tuition fees, hostel charges, infrastructure, clinical exposure, location and other factors before locking their choices.

Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 BDS Seat Matrix

A total of 467 BDS seats are available in the updated Round 3 matrix.

The seats are divided into:

• 19 government BDS seats

• 377 private BDS general seats

• 71 private BDS management seats

Government Dental College Vacancies

The 19 government dental seats include:

• Government Dental College, Jodhpur – 11 seats

• RUHS College of Dental Sciences, Jaipur – 8 seats

Private dental colleges account for the majority of BDS vacancies.

Among the private institutions with significant general-seat availability are:

• Dr SS Tantia Dental College, Sri Ganganagar – 40 seats

• Maharaja Gangasingh Dental College, Ganganagar – 39 seats

• RR Dental College, Udaipur – 36 seats

The availability of these seats gives BDS aspirants additional opportunities during the third round of counselling.

Category-Wise Seat Information

The Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 matrix provides category-wise information for the relevant seats.

Candidates can find seats under categories such as:

• Unreserved (UR)

• Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)

• Most Backward Class (MBC)

• Other Backward Class (OBC)

• Scheduled Caste (SC)

• Scheduled Tribe (ST)

• Special categories, wherever applicable

The matrix uses separate category and gender-related columns, allowing candidates to identify the seats available under the applicable reservation structure.

NRI seats, meanwhile, are displayed as college-wise totals.

Candidates should carefully read the category headings in the matrix before interpreting the vacancy figures.

Seat Matrix Released After Resignations

The latest document is specifically identified as a “Seat Matrix After Resignation.”

This is important because vacancies can emerge when candidates who received seats in earlier counselling rounds choose to resign or do not continue with their allotted admission.

Consequently, the Round 3 matrix may differ substantially from the initial Round 3 vacancy position published earlier in the counselling process.

An earlier Round 3 matrix had listed 3,023 MBBS state seats, comprising 155 government seats, 55 RUHS CMS/RAJMES management seats, 317 NRI seats, 2,061 private general seats and 435 private management seats. The subsequent post-resignation matrix increased the government-seat figure and the overall MBBS availability to 3,101.

This illustrates why candidates should always consult the latest revised matrix before making their final choices.

How to Check Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 Seat Matrix 2026

Candidates can check the latest seat matrix through the Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal.

Step 1: Visit the Counselling Website

Open the official Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal.

Step 2: Go to the Latest Notifications

Look for the notification relating to Round 3 MBBS/BDS counselling and the Seat Matrix After Resignation.

Step 3: Download the Seat Matrix

Open the relevant PDF/document and download it for reference.

Step 4: Select the Course

Check the MBBS or BDS section depending on the course you wish to pursue.

Step 5: Check College-Wise Vacancies

Review the number of seats available at each college.

Step 6: Check Your Category

Pay close attention to the category columns applicable to you.

Step 7: Prepare Your Choices

Use the latest seat availability to prepare a realistic and well-ordered preference list.

The Rajasthan counselling portal is the appropriate place to monitor subsequent changes, revised seat matrices and counselling notices.

Who Should Pay Attention to the Round 3 Seat Matrix?

The updated matrix is particularly relevant to:

• Candidates who did not receive a seat in Round 1 or Round 2

• Candidates seeking an upgrade

• Candidates newly participating in Round 3

• Candidates who resigned from an earlier allotted seat and remain eligible

• Candidates interested in newly available vacancies

• Candidates considering private medical colleges

• Candidates eligible for NRI seats

• Candidates seeking BDS admission

Candidates who already hold a seat should carefully check the applicable Rajasthan counselling rules before participating in Round 3, particularly because participation, resignation and seat acceptance can have financial and admission-related consequences.

Round 3 Choice Filling Is Crucial

The seat matrix should be used as a planning tool rather than simply as a list of vacant seats.

Candidates should compare their NEET UG 2026 rank, Rajasthan state merit position, category, preferred course and available seats before preparing their choices.

A sensible preference list can include:

Top choices: Colleges that are the candidate's preferred institutions and courses.

Target choices: Colleges where the candidate has a realistic possibility of obtaining a seat based on rank and category.

Backup choices: Additional eligible institutions that improve the chances of securing an MBBS or BDS seat.

Candidates should also remember that previous-round choices do not automatically guarantee consideration in the same form for the next round. Fresh choice filling may be required under the applicable Round 3 rules. Current counselling updates indicate that candidates participating in Round 3 must submit fresh choices within the prescribed window.

Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 Counselling Timeline

The Round 3 counselling process involves several stages, including registration, fee payment, choice filling, merit-list publication and seat allotment.

The third-round registration process began in September, while the counselling board subsequently released the updated vacancy position after resignations. The latest updates indicate that the Round 3 merit list has also been published, with the allotment process scheduled to follow.

Candidates should therefore avoid relying on old schedules or earlier seat matrices. Counselling dates and vacancy figures can change during the process.

Important Documents to Keep Ready

Candidates who receive a seat should keep their original documents ready for reporting and verification.

Commonly required documents include:

• NEET UG 2026 admit card

• NEET UG 2026 scorecard

• NEET application details

• Rajasthan NEET UG counselling registration documents

• Class 10 certificate

• Class 12 marksheet and certificate

• Date-of-birth proof

• Domicile certificate, where applicable

• Category certificate, where applicable

• PwBD/PwD certificate, if applicable

• NRI documents, where applicable

• Valid photo identity proof

• Passport-size photographs

• All other documents prescribed by the counselling authority

Candidates should verify the latest reporting instructions because documentation requirements may differ according to category and seat type.

Candidates Should Check PwBD/PwD Seat Matrix Separately

The counselling authority has also provided a separate PwBD/PwD seat matrix.

Candidates eligible under the PwBD/PwD category should therefore check the separate matrix in addition to the main MBBS/BDS seat matrix.

The published information indicates PwBD/PwD provisions across applicable categories and seat types. Candidates should carefully confirm their eligibility and the exact seat category before filling choices.

What Does the Updated Seat Matrix Mean for Aspirants?

The revised vacancy position creates additional opportunities for candidates in Round 3, particularly because vacancies have emerged following resignations from earlier rounds.

For government MBBS aspirants, however, competition is expected to remain high because the number of government-seat vacancies is substantially lower than the number of private-college vacancies.

Candidates with relatively competitive ranks should therefore carefully prioritise government colleges while also keeping realistic alternatives in their preference list.

For candidates considering private medical colleges, the large number of available general and management seats offers more options, but candidates should evaluate the financial implications before locking choices.

BDS aspirants similarly have opportunities across government and private dental institutions, with private colleges accounting for the overwhelming majority of the available seats.

Conclusion

The release of the Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 Seat Matrix 2026 after resignations is an important development for MBBS and BDS aspirants participating in the state counselling process. With 3,568 seats available, including 3,101 MBBS seats and 467 BDS seats, candidates have a fresh opportunity to secure or upgrade their preferred medical or dental seat.

The updated matrix is especially valuable because it reflects vacancies created after resignations from previous counselling rounds. Candidates should therefore use this latest vacancy position while preparing their Round 3 preferences.

Government medical seats remain highly competitive, while private medical colleges account for the largest share of available MBBS vacancies. NRI and management seats also provide additional pathways for eligible candidates. BDS aspirants have vacancies in both government and private dental colleges.

Candidates should carefully check their NEET UG rank, Rajasthan merit position, category, eligibility and financial considerations before submitting choices.
