Rajasthan Opens Round-3 Slots
Rajasthan has officially opened the registration and slot-filling for the NEET PG Round-3 state quota counselling. The state counselling authority at SMS Medical College is overseeing the allocation of over 1,064 MD and MS seats. A revised seat matrix has been released, showing a significant number of vacancies in private medical colleges and specialized clinical branches. Candidates must complete their registrations and choice-filling by the deadline to participate in this final regular state round. The landscape of state-level postgraduate medical admissions has seen a surge in activity as the Rajasthan NEET PG Counselling Round-3 gains momentum. As of January 29, 2026, the state counselling authority has opened the window for fresh registrations and choice-filling. This phase is particularly critical for candidates who did not secure a seat in the previous rounds or those seeking an upgrade within the state’s medical institutions.

The registration process for the third round is being conducted through the official state portal, rajpgneet2025.in. This round allows newly eligible candidates, following the reduction of the qualifying percentile, to enter the counselling pool. The authority has emphasized the importance of completing the registration and security deposit payment within the specified timeframe to ensure inclusion in the merit list.

  • Eligible candidates must register online and pay the non-refundable registration fee.
  • The choice-filling process involves selecting preferred specialties and colleges based on the newly published seat matrix.
  • Candidates who have already joined a seat in previous rounds but wish to upgrade must follow the specific forfeiture and re-registration rules.
  • The provisional merit list for this round is expected to be published shortly after the registration window closes.

Seat Matrix and Distribution of Vacancies

The state has released a detailed seat matrix that highlights the availability of MD and MS positions across various categories of institutions. In Round-3, the majority of available seats are concentrated in private medical colleges, while government institutions have a limited but highly sought-after number of vacancies.

College TypeMD/MS Seats Available
Government / Society / RUHS-CMS90
Private Medical Colleges974
Total Round-3 Seats1,064
AIQ / State Quota Split531 (State)

Key Milestones and Verification Procedures

Following the registration phase, the counselling authority will conduct the necessary document verification for specific categories. This is a mandatory step for candidates claiming reservation benefits or those applying under the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category. The verification process ensures that the allotment is based on authentic data and merit.

  • The PwD disability certificate verification is scheduled to take place at the Academic Block of SMS Medical College.
  • The provisional merit list of all registered candidates will be released on January 31, 2026.
  • Candidates are advised to check for updates on the official SMS Medical College website.
  • The final seat allotment will consider the choices locked by the candidates and their state merit rank.

Conclusion

The opening of Round-3 slots in Rajasthan marks a final push for postgraduate medical admissions within the state. With over a thousand seats available, particularly in the private sector, candidates have a substantial opportunity to secure a placement. The alignment of state procedures with the national schedule ensures a synchronized conclusion to the 2025 admission cycle.
