Rajasthan NEET UG 2026: Round 2 Seat Matrix Released, Application Deadline Set for September 8

The SMS Medical College in Jaipur has officially released the provisional vacant seat matrix for the second round of the Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 counselling process. This update is a critical step for students seeking admission into MBBS, BDS, and other medical courses across the state, providing them with a clear view of the available seats before they proceed with their applications.

Candidates who are eligible to participate in the state-level counselling, including those who have not previously completed their registration, are required to adhere to the newly announced schedule. The counselling authorities have emphasized the importance of meeting the specific deadlines for both fee payment and the submission of the online application forms to remain eligible for the seat allotment process.

Key Deadlines and Application Requirements

For students participating in the second round, the deadline for depositing the required application fee is set for September 8, 2026, at 4:00 PM. Following the fee payment, candidates must ensure that both Part 1 and Part 2 of their online application forms are submitted no later than 8:00 PM on the same day. It is essential for applicants to complete both sections of the form, as failure to do so may result in their exclusion from subsequent stages of the counselling process.

The counselling authority has also scheduled the release of the provisional merit list for September 8, 2026, which is expected to be published by midnight. This merit list will serve as a vital reference for candidates to understand their standing in the current round and their potential for securing a seat. Additionally, the authority will release a list of candidates under the Defence, Para Military, and NRI categories on the same date. These individuals are required to undergo a verification process as part of their admission requirements.

Students are advised to review the vacant seat matrix thoroughly before finalizing their choices. By staying updated with these official timelines, candidates can ensure they complete all necessary formalities within the designated windows, avoiding any potential issues with their application status for the 2026 academic session.
