Rajasthan MBBS Round-3 allotment on 9 October, 231 seats vacant
The Medical Dental Counseling Board Jaipur will release the provisional seat allotment result for Round-3 of the 85 per cent state quota MBBS-BDS counseling under NEET UG-2026 on 9 October. The final seat allotment result will be announced on 10 October. A notification was issued on the board's official website on Wednesday, 14 October.
Round-3 has 231 vacant government MBBS seats, 10 per cent of the 2,274 total available. The vacancy has raised hopes among students and parents. Education expert Dev Sharma said the non-joining penalty rule will apply strictly: students who do not join their allotted seat will forfeit their security deposit and lose eligibility for the stray vacancy round. Seat upgradation is limited to Round-3.
The board also released category change rules for PWD, NRI, gender pool and non-domicile seats. Of the 468 NRI MBBS seats, 317 (67.73 per cent) are vacant, giving hope to lower-scoring students after the category change rules.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 231 vacant government MBBS seats and the high 67.73 per cent vacancy in NRI seats could let lower-ranked NEET candidates secure a seat this round, but the strict non-joining penalty and the end of seat upgradation after Round-3 push students to decide firmly. Category change rules for PWD, NRI, gender pool and non-domicile seats may further shift the applicant pool before the 9 October provisional allotment. What remains open is how many of the 317 vacant NRI seats actually convert to other categories and reach general candidates, and the final allotment on 10 October will show whether the vacancy translates into confirmed admissions.
