Which Merit Lists Have Been Released?
The counselling board has been publishing Round 2 provisional merit information in stages.
These include lists relating to:
- General eligible candidates
- NRI candidates
- PwD/PwBD candidates
- Defence candidates
- Paramilitary categories
Candidates should therefore download the list applicable to their counselling category rather than relying on one generic PDF.
How to Download Rajasthan NEET Merit List
- Open the official Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal.
- Go to the Round 2 schedule/notification section.
- Open the applicable merit or rank-list PDF.
- Search by registration ID, NEET ID or name.
- Check category and merit details.
- Save the PDF.
What Details Can the Merit List Show?
Published Rajasthan NEET merit information can contain fields such as:
- Registration ID
- NEET ID
- Candidate name
- Father's name
- Domicile status
- Category entered
- Category allotted
- Additional category status
- Merit position
Why Is It Called a Provisional Merit List?
“Provisional” indicates that the list is part of the counselling process and may be subject to verification or correction according to the rules.
It is not the seat-allotment result.
| Merit List | Allotment Result |
|---|---|
| Shows candidate ranking/status | Shows allotted college/course |
| Published before choice processing | Published after choices are processed |
| Does not guarantee admission | Creates admission opportunity subject to reporting |
Security Deposit Deadline Is Earlier Than Choice Locking
One deadline candidates should not miss is the security amount.
The current Round 2 schedule lists 5 PM on September 10 as the security-deposit deadline.
Choice filling continues later, until auto-lock at 11:45 PM.
That means students should not assume every Round 2 activity closes at midnight.
How Should Candidates Fill Choices?
The best rule is simple:
Rank colleges in the order in which you genuinely want to join them.
Aspirants should not place a less-desired college above a dream college merely because the previous cutoff appears easier.
Dream, Target and Safer Choices
| Choice Group | Use |
|---|---|
| Dream | Highly preferred options above or near expected rank range |
| Target | Colleges broadly consistent with rank trends |
| Safer | Acceptable colleges with historically lower closing competition |
Why Round 2 Can Produce Big Movement
Medical counselling is interconnected.
A candidate may leave a Rajasthan Round 1 seat after receiving:
- A better MCC allotment
- A preferred seat in another state
- A different course
- A lower-fee option
These movements can create vacancies for other candidates.
Government vs Private MBBS Seats
Government colleges generally attract the strongest demand because of lower tuition and substantial clinical exposure at many public hospitals.
Private seats can widen admission possibilities but require careful fee analysis.
Never Choose a Private College Without Checking Full Cost
Review:
- One-year tuition
- Total programme fee
- Hostel
- Security deposit
- Other institutional charges
- Bond obligations
Why Previous Cutoff Is Only a Guide
Last year's closing rank can help estimate competitiveness.
It cannot predict exactly where Round 2 will close in 2026.
Changes can result from:
- Seat additions
- Candidate movement
- Fee changes
- Different NEET rank distribution
- New college preferences
When Is Rajasthan NEET Round 2 Allotment?
The Round 2 allotment result is scheduled for September 14.
Candidates will then be able to download allotment letters between September 15 and September 18.
Reporting and Tuition Fee
Allotted candidates will have to deposit the prescribed one-year tuition fee and complete reporting during the September 15-18 window.
The schedule includes reporting and document submission at the designated college desk at the Academic Block of SMS Medical College, Jaipur.
Documents to Keep Ready
- Allotment letter
- NEET UG scorecard
- NEET admit card
- Application form copies
- Class 10 documents
- Class 12 documents
- Original category certificates
- Domicile documents
- Fee receipt
- Required bonds
- Photocopy sets required by counselling authority
What If a Candidate Does Not Report?
Failure to complete reporting within the deadline can lead to loss of the allotted seat and other consequences according to the counselling rules.
Candidates should therefore understand resignation, forfeiture and future-round eligibility before skipping an allotment.
What If You Do Not Get a Round 2 Seat?
Subsequent counselling rounds are expected to be notified according to remaining vacancy positions.
Students should continue monitoring the official portal.
