Jaipur, 19 October 2026: Rajasthan's NEET UG 2026 Stray Vacancy Round has 1,077 MBBS seats available under the state's 85% State Quota counselling process. The official vacancy matrix dated 17 October shows that 1,068 of these seats are in private medical colleges, and nine are linked to government institutions. The Times of India reported these figures on 18 October.
These vacancies give eligible candidates one more chance to get an MBBS seat. But the number of seats alone does not guarantee admission. Allotment depends on NEET merit, eligibility, category, seat type and the choices submitted by each candidate.
How the 1,077 MBBS Seats Are Distributed
The difference between government seats and government-linked seats is important. The matrix lists six seats in the Government Seat category. The other three are Management Seats in RUHS CMS and government-society/RAJMES institutions. Please do not assume that all nine seats have the fee structure of a regular government seat.
The overall distribution is:
-
Government Seats: 6
-
Management Seats in RUHS CMS and government-linked institutions: 3
-
Private colleges, General Seats: 758
-
Private colleges, Management Seats: 310
-
NRI Seats: 0
Private colleges account for about 99.2% of all MBBS vacancies. The private colleges with the most vacancies (General and Management Seats together) are:
-
Sudha Medical College, Kota: 157
-
JIET Medical College, Jodhpur: 151
-
Vyas Medical College, Jodhpur: 135
The category-wise matrix lists 289 OBC, 245 Unreserved, 227 SC, 97 ST, 87 EWS, 71 Scheduled Area and 61 MBC seats. Please check the exact college and seat type you are eligible for, because category totals alone do not show which seats are open to you.
