  • Rajasthan govt BDS: ₹1 lakh guarantee and ₹4 lakh bond

    Students joining BDS at a government dental college in Rajasthan have to put up a bank guarantee of ₹1 lakh and sign a bond of ₹4 lakh at the time of admission. The requirement has been republished in the notifications section of the state's UG medical counselling site, so candidates weighing a government BDS seat this year should budget for it before they lock a choice.

    What the order says

    The condition comes from an order of the Rajasthan Medical Education Department, No. 6(2)ME/Group-1/2012, issued at Jaipur on 27 January 2012. It records the decisions of a meeting held on 12 January 2012, chaired by the Principal Secretary for Medical Education, and the bond appears as decision 23 in that list. It is the clause the published copy highlights.

    The reasoning is set out plainly in the order. Students who take a BDS seat in a government dental college sit the entrance test again the next year, get into MBBS, and abandon the BDS course. The seat then lies vacant for the rest of the cycle. The order says this causes a financial loss to the college and leaves the state short of dental graduates, and that to stop the practice, students admitted to BDS in a government dental college should be required to furnish a bank guarantee of ₹1 lakh and a bond of ₹4 lakh at admission.

    Why it still matters, fourteen years on

    The order is old and it predates NEET. In 2012 the entrance test it refers to was the Rajasthan Pre-Medical Test, which a common national exam later replaced. The behaviour the order was written to stop has not gone anywhere, though. A candidate who accepts BDS one year and re-attempts NEET the next for MBBS is doing exactly what the order describes, and the seat is vacated in exactly the same way.

    That is worth thinking about carefully if BDS is your fallback rather than your intention. A government dental seat in Rajasthan is cheap and hard to get, but taking one while planning a re-attempt is the situation this order is aimed at.

    Check the current figure before you commit

    One caution. The document circulating for this cycle is the 2012 order itself, not a fresh notification restating the amounts for 2026-27. The clause is the standing authority for the bond, but the sums were set fourteen years ago and states do revise these. Before you treat ₹1 lakh and ₹4 lakh as final, confirm them against this year's information booklet or with the competent authority conducting the counselling. Ask specifically what releases the bank guarantee and when.

    Counselling terms are the authority's to interpret, and ours is not the last word on them. If your reading of a clause differs from the authority's, theirs governs.

    What to do now

    • If you are considering a government BDS seat in Rajasthan, arrange the bank guarantee before reporting, not on the day.
    • Ask the college what documentation the guarantee needs and how long your bank takes to issue one.
    • Get in writing the conditions under which the bond is discharged.
    • If BDS is a placeholder while you plan another attempt at MBBS, price that plan honestly against a ₹4 lakh bond.

    Past closing ranks help you judge whether the seat is within reach at all. We track BDS closing ranks in Rajasthan alongside the MBBS closing ranks, and our Rajasthan counselling guide follows the rounds. You can check where a particular rank stands on our college predictor.

  • Rajasthan extends NEET UG 2026 Part 2 application to 21 August

    The NEET UG Medical and Dental Admission/Counselling Board has issued a revised round 1 schedule for Rajasthan, in line with the state schedule released by the MCC.

    The revised dates

    Activity Date
    Last date for submitting Part 2 of the online application 21.08.2026, 8:00 pm
    Revised provisional merit list, and revised list of PwBD/PwD, Defence/Para Military and NRI candidates for verification 22.08.2026
    Verification of Defence/Para Military and NRI candidature before the Board, Academic Block, SMS Medical College, Jaipur 24.08.2026, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
    Revised provisional merit lists published after verification 24.08.2026, midnight
    Deposition of security amount 14.08.2026 to 25.08.2026, till 6:00 pm

    Candidates already verified need not attend again on 24 August.

    The security deposit decides what you can fill

    The amount is not a formality; it gates which seats you may choose during choice filling, for MBBS and BDS alike.

    • Rs. 50,000 for UR/EWS, SC/ST/ST-STA/OBC-NCL/MBC-NCL candidates opting for a government MBBS seat in government, government society, RUHS-CMS and ESIC colleges
    • Rs. 2,00,000 for a management MBBS seat in government society colleges and RUHS-CMS
    • Rs. 5,00,000 for an NRI MBBS seat in government, government society and RUHS-CMS colleges
    • Rs. 5,00,000 for MBBS in private medical colleges
    • Rs. 10,000 for BDS in the government dental college, RUHS-CDS and private dental colleges

    Candidates depositing Rs. 2,00,000 or Rs. 5,00,000 are automatically eligible to fill the lower-deposit options as well. Deposit only the lowest amount and the higher-tier seats simply will not be available to you when the choice window opens, whatever your rank.

    The change follows the Medical Counselling Committee revising the All India Quota and state counselling schedule on 19 August 2026. Most states are re-issuing their round 1 dates as a result, so check your own state even if you are not applying here.

    Our Rajasthan cutoff pages show which colleges and seat types your rank reaches, which is the practical way to decide the deposit tier.

  • Rajasthan publishes NEET UG 2026-27 fee structure for MBBS and BDS

    The Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 admissions portal has published the fee structure for the 2026-27 academic year across five separate documents covering government, private and ESIC colleges for both MBBS and BDS.

    MBBS at government, RUHS-CMS and RAJMES colleges

    Set in compliance with State Government order no. F.8(4)M.E./Group-1/2022 dated 30.09.2022.

    Type of seat Tuition fee per annum
    Government seat Rs. 73,900
    Management seat Rs. 10,05,100

    On top of tuition: caution money Rs. 9,100 one time, admission fee Rs. 21,500 one time, sports and academic fee Rs. 17,900 yearly, and infrastructure development and welfare fund Rs. 9,100 yearly.

    BDS at government dental colleges

    For Government Dental College, Jodhpur and RUHS-CDS, as per the state government order dated 23.06.2026, the government seat tuition fee is Rs. 59,100 per annum. The same one-time and yearly charges as above apply.

    ESIC Medical College, Alwar

    The government seat tuition fee is Rs. 1,00,000 per annum, with caution money of Rs. 5,000 one time and a hostel security deposit of Rs. 10,000. The college notes that a per-year Student Welfare Fund is pending a decision at ESIC headquarters.

    Hostel charges

    At government, RUHS-CMS and RAJMES colleges, annual hostel maintenance is Rs. 58,000 for a single seated room, Rs. 49,500 for a double and Rs. 42,900 for a triple. Those figures are inclusive of yearly electricity and water charges.

    Private colleges

    Private medical and dental college fees are published per college, as provided by each institution, and vary substantially. To take one example from the medical list, American International Institute of Medical Sciences at Bedwas charges Rs. 18,90,000 a year on a general seat and Rs. 25,00,000 on a management seat.

    The gap between a government seat and a management or private seat in Rajasthan is one of the widest in the country, which makes the seat type you are allotted far more consequential than the college name.

    Our Rajasthan cutoff pages show which colleges and seat types your rank reaches, so you can see the fee you would actually face rather than the headline one.

  • Rajasthan NEET UG 2026: college information sheets out for MBBS and BDS colleges

    The Rajasthan NEET UG counselling board has published college information sheets for the 2026 MBBS and BDS allotments: one page for every college in state counselling, 51 medical and 17 dental. Each page carries the college’s nodal officer, whether it has a hostel, and the bank account into which the first-year tuition fee has to be deposited.

    The timing is tight. Choices auto-lock at 11:55 PM on 20 August. The Round 1 allotment result is due on 22 August, and allotted candidates then have five days, 23 to 27 August, to pay the first-year tuition fee and report. Fee deposit closes at 3:30 PM on 27 August.

    What each sheet carries

    • College name, address, official email ID and website
    • Whether the college has a hostel for students
    • Principal’s name and office phone number
    • Nodal officer’s name, designation, office phone, mobile number and email ID
    • Bank details for the fee: account name, account type, bank, account number, IFSC, branch name and branch city
    • Who a cheque or demand draft should be drawn in favour of, and where it is payable

    Colleges also carry an address on the board’s own domain, such as snmcjodhpur@neetrajasthan.com for Dr S N Medical College, Jodhpur. A query sent there goes to an official channel rather than a personal inbox.

    Check the account name before you transfer

    The name on the bank account is frequently not the name of the college. Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur takes its fee into an account held by Mahatma Gandhi University of Medical Sciences & Technology. Dr B. S. Tomar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Jagatpura banks as Indian Medical Trust. Government Dental College, Jodhpur uses an account named after Dr S N Medical College. A payee name that differs from the college name is normal here. A payee name that differs from the sheet is not.

    Match four fields against the sheet for your allotted college before you move any money: account number, IFSC, account name and branch. Keep the transaction reference, because you will be reporting at a counter in Jaipur rather than at the college.

    Reporting is centralised at SMS Medical College

    Round 1 reporting and document submission happen at the allotted college’s desk in the Academic Block of SMS Medical College, Jaipur, from 23 to 27 August, 9 AM to 4 PM, with the counter open till 6 PM on 27 August. Candidates carry four printouts of the allotment letter, all original documents, the required bonds, and two copies of the application form with two sets of photocopies. The academic session begins on 8 September.

    Some sheets have gaps

    Not every field is filled in. Dr S N Medical College Jodhpur, RUHS College of Dental Sciences Jaipur and Government Dental College Jodhpur all leave the principal’s office phone number blank. The website field for Government Medical College, Karauli holds a Bing search link rather than a college website. Where a number is missing, the nodal officer’s mobile and the neetrajasthan.com email address are the working contacts.

    Fee amounts are not on these sheets

    The sheets say where to pay, not how much. The board’s Round 1 notification points candidates to a separate college fee structure document alongside the information bulletin, and to the Supreme Court order of 19 May 2022 in civil appeal no. 3978-3995/2017.

    The security deposit is a separate payment made during choice filling, due by 6 PM on 20 August: ₹50,000 for a government MBBS seat in a government, government society, RUHS-CMS or ESIC college; ₹2 lakh for a management seat in a government society college or RUHS-CMS; ₹5 lakh for an NRI seat, or for any MBBS seat in a private college; and ₹10,000 for BDS.

    What to do now

    • Save the sheet for every college on your choice list, so the account details are in hand the moment the result comes on 22 August.
    • Check your category’s seat count against earlier closing ranks before choices auto-lock on 20 August. Our Rajasthan MBBS closing ranks and BDS closing ranks pages show where each college closed in earlier rounds.
    • Read the Rajasthan counselling guide for how freezing, floating and the later rounds work.
    • Run your score through our free NEET rank predictor before you lock choices, to see which of these colleges are within reach.

    Our earlier reports cover the Round 1 schedule and the Round 1 seat matrix, which lists 7,433 MBBS and 1,536 BDS state-quota seats across these same 68 colleges.

  • Rajasthan NEET UG 2026: Round 1 Seat Matrix Released

    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
    • RUHS CMS and RAJMES management seats: 991
    • Private colleges (general): 3,252, across 18 private medical colleges
    • Private colleges (management): 448
    • NRI seats: 468

    BDS seats — 1,536 across 17 colleges

    • Government seats: 86, across 2 government dental colleges
    • Private colleges (general): 1,270, across 15 private dental colleges
    • Private colleges (management): 180

    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.
