Rajasthan NEET Round 3 Counselling 2026: Registration, Choice Filling and Allotment Dates
Updated: September 22, 2026. Rajasthan's NEET UG Medical and Dental Admission/Counselling Board has released the Round 3 schedule for MBBS and BDS admissions. Registration for eligible fresh applicants begins September 23, while the application and fee-payment deadlines fall on October 3. Choice filling runs from September 24 to October 7.
The schedule also sets out merit-list publication, category-document verification, indicative and provisional allotment, tuition-fee payment and reporting. Candidates must distinguish these separate deadlines: completing registration does not automatically complete choice filling or admission.

Who Needs to Register?
The registration stage is relevant to eligible fresh candidates and applicants who did not complete the required parts of their application earlier. Candidates who participated in previous rounds should consult the Round 3 eligibility instructions to determine whether fresh registration, payment or other action is necessary in their particular circumstances.
Do not assume that every previously registered applicant must submit a new application or that every applicant can participate regardless of an earlier allotment. Previous allotment and joining status may affect eligibility.
How to Complete Round 3 Registration
- Open the Rajasthan NEET UG counselling website.
- Read the Round 3 notification and eligibility instructions.
- Select the applicable registration facility when it becomes active.
- Complete the required application sections.
- Upload documents in the prescribed format.
- Pay the applicable application fee before its cutoff.
- Submit the complete application before the separate submission deadline.
- Save the confirmation and monitor the merit-list announcements.
The application-fee deadline and application-submission deadline are not identical. Candidates should not wait until 8 p.m. on October 3 to make a payment when the reported payment cutoff is 4 p.m.
What Happens on October 4–6?
The schedule provides for an initial provisional merit list on October 4. Special-category verification follows on October 5, with the combined provisional merit list scheduled for October 6.
Applicants claiming benefits under categories requiring additional verification must follow the applicable document instructions. Appearance in an initial provisional list does not eliminate the need to satisfy category or admission requirements.
Security Deposit and Choice Filling
The security-deposit window runs from September 24 to October 7, with a reported 5 p.m. cutoff on the final day. Choice filling also runs from September 24 to October 7, but its reported auto-lock time is 11:45 p.m.
These are distinct activities. Candidates should complete any applicable deposit requirement and then follow the board's instructions for submitting and locking preferences.
Before selecting a college, review the current seat matrix, course, seat category, tuition, other compulsory charges and any bond or service conditions applicable to the institution.
Indicative Versus Provisional Allotment
The schedule identifies October 9 for indicative allotment and October 10 for provisional allotment. Candidates should not confuse an indicative result with the subsequent allotment document used for admission procedures.
Read the official allotment notice to establish which document must be printed and what steps follow. An allotment is subject to the board's admission rules and verification requirements.
Reporting and Tuition-Fee Payment
The reporting period is scheduled for October 11–15. Reports of the detailed timetable identify separate cutoff times for fee payment, document printing and physical reporting on the final day.
Allotted candidates should consult the exact schedule and allotment instructions for the relevant payment facility, reporting location, original-document requirements and deadlines. Do not assume that every activity remains open until midnight on October 15.
