# NEET-UG: 177 marks secure MBBS seat in Rajasthan stray round 2026-10-23T04:34:12+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Rajasthan's Medical and Dental Counselling Board has released the provisional seat allotment for the stray-vacancy round of the 85 percent state quota in medical and dental colleges, allotting MBBS seats to 1,064 candidates. A candidate with an all-India rank of 11,93,250 and a NEET-UG score of just 177 out of 720 marks, 24.58 percent, has been allocated a general MBBS seat at a private medical college in Kota. By this final round, nearly all government medical college seats were already filled, and only six government MBBS seats were allotted in this round. The highest government college cut-off was at SN Medical College Jodhpur, where an unreserved boy category seat went at 585 marks, followed by 584 at Government Medical College Kota. Newer government colleges had lower cut-offs, with 569 at Tonk, 568 at Jaisalmer and 565 at Banswara. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The stray-vacancy round has effectively collapsed the NEET-UG merit barrier in Rajasthan's private medical colleges, with a candidate ranked 11.93 lakh and scoring 24.58 percent securing a general MBBS seat in Kota. This reveals how many government seats had already filled by earlier rounds, leaving only six government seats in this final allocation across the state. The wide gap between the high cut-offs at established government colleges, like 585 marks at Jodhpur and 584 at Kota, and the near-absent threshold at some private institutions suggests that private college seats in this round went to whoever remained in the pool. The practical effect is that a student with 177 marks now holds the same degree pathway as one who scored over 580, at least for this admission cycle. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Reports the seat allocation outcome in detail without editorialising This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
