Rajasthan has released the Round 1 seat matrix for NEET UG 2026 medical and dental counselling. The matrix lists 7,433 MBBS seats and 1,536 BDS seats in the state-quota counselling — the pool candidates fill choices for in the first round.
The counselling is run by the Office of the Chairman, NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission and Counselling Board 2026, based at SMS Medical College, Jaipur. These are state-quota seats only; the 15% All India Quota in the government colleges is counselled separately by the MCC.
MBBS seats — 7,433 across 51 colleges
- Government seats: 2,274, across 33 government medical colleges

- Government seats: 86, across 2 government dental colleges
- Private colleges (general): 1,270, across 15 private dental colleges

The matrix breaks every college down by category — unreserved, EWS, MBC, OBC, SC, ST and the Sahariya area quota — so you can see how many seats fall in your category at each college before you lock your choices.
What the seat matrix is for
A Round 1 seat matrix is the official count of seats on offer in the first round, and it usually comes just before choice filling opens. It does not by itself carry the registration dates or fees, so check the portal for the schedule. The seat numbers can also shift a little between rounds as colleges are added or fresh seats are approved.
What to do now
- Watch the ug.neetrajasthan.com portal for the Round 1 registration and choice-filling dates.
- Match your category’s seat count in the matrix against last year’s closing ranks so you know which colleges are realistic. Our Rajasthan MBBS closing ranks and BDS closing ranks pages show where each college closed in earlier rounds.
- Read the Rajasthan counselling guide to understand freezing, floating and how the rounds work.
- Not sure where your rank stands? Run it through our free NEET rank predictor to see your likely colleges before you fill choices.
