September 10, 2026 is being seen as one of the most crucial days for candidates participating in Rajasthan NEET UG Medical & Dental Counselling 2026 – Round 2. As per the official Round-2 programme of the Rajasthan NEET UG Medical & Dental
Admission/Counselling Board-2026, three key events are tied to today: the publication of the Provisional Combined Merit List (and the Provisional Defence/Para Military Merit List) after verification, the last deadline to deposit the required security amount, and the final day for online choice filling, which will be auto-locked at 11:45 PM.
Candidates are advised to track all confirmed notices and updates only on the official counselling portal: ug.neetrajasthan.com.
What are the deadlines today, September 10?
According to the Round 2 schedule, candidates should focus on these three actions today:
- Provisional Combined Merit List (After Verification):
Expected to be published/updated today. Checking merit status helps candidates finalise a smarter and more realistic preference list. - Security Deposit (Last Date):
The applicable security deposit must be paid by 5:00 PM today (10 September).
This payment is separate from the registration/application fee and is directly linked to choice filling and seat eligibility. - Choice Filling (Last Date):
Choice filling will close today, and the system will auto-lock choices at 11:45 PM. After this time, no changes will be possible.
Why is the Security Deposit so important?
In Round 2, the security deposit is not just a formality. In many cases, it also determines the range of seat types a candidate can opt for. The amount may differ depending on the seat category/college type (such as Government MBBS, Management quota, NRI, Private Medical, BDS, etc.). Candidates should pay the exact amount applicable to their eligibility and proceed to finalise choices only after confirming that the payment status is successfully updated.
Important: Since the deadline is 5 PM, candidates should avoid last-minute payments to prevent transaction delays or banking issues.
Biggest warning for choice filling today
A common mistake is filling choices without properly verifying the priority order, course preference (MBBS/BDS), quota/category mapping, and final saving/confirmation. Because the system will auto-lock choices at 11:45 PM, candidates should:
- Arrange colleges in the correct priority order
- Select only those colleges/seats they are eligible for
- Save repeatedly and double-check the final list
- Finalise early to avoid last-hour server load, OTP, or payment issues
Will Round 1 choices carry forward to Round 2?
For Round 2 allotment, candidates generally need to fill fresh choices. Round 1 choice should not be assumed to be automatically considered for Round 2. Therefore, candidates must rebuild their Round 2 preference list based on the current vacant seats and their merit position.
Next major date: Round 2 result on September 14
After today’s deadlines, the next key event is the Round 2 seat allotment result, scheduled to be released on 14 September 2026. After the result, candidates will move into the next phase, including allotment letter printing, tuition fee payment, and reporting/admission. Reporting venue/timings and document requirements must be followed strictly as per official instructions.
Seat matrix matters—vacancies can change strategy
Before finalising choices, candidates should check the vacant seat matrix for Round 2. Availability across categories (Government/Private/Management/NRI/BDS, etc.) can significantly change preference strategy. Some updates also mention additional MBBS seats at Pacific Medical College & Hospital, Udaipur—however, candidates should treat such changes as confirmed only after verifying them through the official seat matrix/notice.
What candidates should do today (Quick Checklist)
- Check merit list/updates on the official portal
- Pay the security deposit before 5 PM
- Review the vacant seat matrix and plan choices
- Fill fresh choices for Round 2
- Finalise and confirm choices before 11:45 PM
