To participate in Rajasthan NEET UG Counselling 2026, candidates must fulfil the eligibility requirements specified by the Rajasthan NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission/Counselling Board.

Basic Eligibility Criteria

• The candidate must be an Indian citizen.
• The candidate must have qualified NEET UG 2026 by securing the required category-wise qualifying percentile.
• Candidates must have passed Class 12 or an equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as the required subjects.
• The candidate must be at least 17 years old on or before 31 December 2026.
• Candidates must fulfil the prescribed minimum PCB aggregate requirement for their category — generally 50% for General category, 45% for General-PwD and 40% for SC/ST/OBC candidates.

Rajasthan Domicile Requirements

Rajasthan follows specific domicile and residency conditions for admission under the state quota. Candidates claiming Rajasthan state quota benefits must satisfy the applicable bonafide residency criteria mentioned in the official counselling brochure.

Candidates may qualify under different domicile categories, including:

• Natural residents of Rajasthan who fulfil the prescribed study and parental residency requirements.
• Wards of Rajasthan Government employees, subject to the conditions mentioned in the official counselling guidelines.
• Candidates falling under other eligible categories notified by the Rajasthan counselling authority.

Non-domicile candidates may also become eligible for certain seats or counselling stages, depending on the seat category, vacant seats and rules applicable to that particular round.

Important: Domicile eligibility can vary according to the category of seat and the candidate's circumstances. Before submitting the counselling fee or claiming Rajasthan domicile benefits, candidates should carefully check the latest official brochure and verify all required documents. An incorrect or unsupported domicile claim may lead to rejection during document verification.

After the registration process is completed, the counselling authority will prepare and publish the Rajasthan NEET UG State Merit List 2026. The merit list generally includes important candidate details such as name, NEET UG roll number, All India Rank (AIR) and Rajasthan State Rank.

Candidates included in the applicable merit list can proceed with the next stages of counselling, including choice filling and seat allotment. Candidates should carefully check their details, rank and category mentioned in the merit list.

If any information is incorrect or your name is missing from the merit list despite meeting the eligibility requirements, you should submit a grievance or correction request within the prescribed correction window. Do not wait until the later stages of counselling to report an error.

Choice filling is one of the most important stages of Rajasthan NEET UG Counselling 2026. A carefully prepared preference list can significantly improve your chances of securing a suitable college and course. It is advisable to prepare your choices before the counselling portal opens rather than making decisions at the last moment.

Factors to Consider While Filling Choices

• Your NEET UG 2026 All India Rank (AIR) and expected State Rank.
• Your category and applicable reservation.
• Previous years' round-wise closing ranks of the colleges you are considering.
• Your preference between government and private medical colleges.
• Your priority between MBBS and BDS.
• The overall course fee, particularly for private colleges, along with other applicable charges.
• Any bond or service conditions applicable to government seats.
• College location, hostel facilities, infrastructure and clinical exposure.

A Practical Way to Arrange Your Choices

1. Dream Colleges: Add a limited number of colleges where the previous closing rank was above your expected rank. These choices can work in your favour if the cutoff changes or seats become available.
2. Realistic Colleges: Include colleges where your rank is reasonably competitive based on previous years' closing ranks. Most of your preferences should ideally fall within this range.
3. Safe Options: Add colleges where your rank is comfortably better than the previous closing rank, giving you a stronger chance of receiving a seat.

Important Choice Filling Rules

• Do not fill choices randomly. Seat allotment is carried out according to the preference order submitted by you, so place the colleges in the exact order in which you would prefer to join them.
• Check the choice-filling requirements for every counselling round. Fresh choices may be required in a subsequent round, and candidates should not assume that their previous preference list will automatically remain applicable.
• Always check the latest seat matrix and counselling notification before finalising and locking your choices.

Candidates participating in Rajasthan NEET UG Counselling 2026 should keep all required documents ready well in advance of the reporting date. It is advisable to carry the original documents along with at least two sets of photocopies for verification and admission purposes.

Documents Required

• NEET UG 2026 Admit Card
• NEET UG 2026 Scorecard / Result
• Class 10 Mark Sheet and Certificate as proof of date of birth
• Class 11 and Class 12 Mark Sheets and Class 12 Passing Certificate
• Aadhaar Card or any other valid government-issued photo ID
• Rajasthan Domicile / Bonafide Residency Certificate, wherever applicable
• SC / ST / OBC-NCL / MBC-NCL Certificate in the prescribed Rajasthan format, wherever applicable
• EWS Certificate, wherever applicable
• PwD Certificate issued by the competent authority, wherever applicable
• Character Certificate from the last institution attended
• Migration Certificate, wherever required
• Recent Passport-Size Photographs as per the prescribed specifications
• Rajasthan NEET UG Counselling Application Form
• Provisional Seat Allotment Letter
• Fee Payment Receipt
• Any additional documents mentioned in the latest official counselling notification

Important: Candidates claiming reservation or other category benefits should ensure that their certificates are issued by the competent authority and follow the prescribed format of the Government of Rajasthan. Documents that do not meet the required format or validity conditions may not be accepted during verification.

To avoid last-minute issues, candidates are advised to verify the complete document checklist against the latest Rajasthan NEET UG counselling notification before appearing for document verification or college reporting.

Important Points to Remember

• Report within the prescribed time: Try to reach the allotted college or verification centre early in the reporting window instead of waiting until the last day. Delays due to queues, technical issues or missing documents can create unnecessary problems.
• Carry original documents: Keep the originals of all documents submitted or claimed during counselling, along with the required photocopies. Photocopies alone may not be sufficient for verification.
• Check bond conditions carefully: Before taking admission to a government medical college, understand any applicable service bond, fee recovery or other conditions mentioned in the official admission documents.
• Understand upgradation rules: If you plan to participate in a subsequent counselling round after receiving a seat, carefully read the rules regarding seat retention, upgradation, resignation and participation in later rounds before confirming your admission.

Tip: Keep your allotment letter, fee receipt, verified documents and admission confirmation safely until the complete counselling and admission process is over.
