Rajasthan MBBS Fee Structure 2026-27: Government vs Private Colleges

For students who want to study MBBS, the cost of education is one of the most important factors. There is a big difference between the fees of government and private Medical colleges in Rajasthan. Here’s a simple and honest explanation:

 

Government Medical College Fee Structure

College Group	Govt. Seat — Male (per year)	Govt. Seat — Female/SC/ST	Management Seat (per year)	NRI Seat (per year)
Legacy Colleges (SMS, SP, SN, RNT, JLN)	₹67,000	FREE (₹0)	Not Available	–
Mid-tier Govt. Colleges (RUHS, Jhalawar, Bhilwara, Churu etc.)	₹70,340	₹70,340	₹9,57,191	$36,465–$36,466

NEET Requirements and Cut-Off for Rajasthan MBBS Admission

Minimum NEET Qualifying Marks

NEET-UG is the sole gateway to MBBS admission in Rajasthan. There are two types of NEET cut-offs to understand:

 

•       NEET Qualifying Cut-Off: The minimum score needed to be eligible for counselling. For General category — 50th percentile (score: 144+). For OBC/SC/ST — 40th percentile (score: 113+).

•       NEET Admission Cut-Off: The actual last rank at which seats are filled in individual colleges. This is much higher than the qualifying cut-off for competitive colleges.

 

Year-Wise NEET Qualifying Cut-Off Trend

Year	General Category (Min. Marks)	OBC / SC / ST (Min. Marks)
2017	131	107

Additionally, 24 seats across 6 legacy government colleges are reserved for candidates from the Central Government Pool — these are filled directly by the Central Government and are separate from state counselling.

 

Rajasthan MBBS Counselling 2026: Step-by-Step Admission Process

All MBBS admissions in Rajasthan — whether government quota, management quota, or NRI quota — happen through the same centralized online counselling conducted by the NEET UG Medical and Dental Admission and Counselling Board, Rajasthan, under RUHS. Here is the complete process:

 

Step 1: Qualify NEET-UG 2026

The process begins with your NEET-UG result. Download your NEET scorecard from the NTA portal (nta.ac.in) and note your All India Rank (AIR) and your likely Rajasthan State Rank. Your state rank is what matters most for state quota seats.

 

Step 2: Check Eligibility and Domicile Status

Before registering for counselling, confirm that you meet the Rajasthan domicile eligibility criteria for state quota seats. If you do not hold Rajasthan domicile, you can still apply for management seats in private colleges through the same counselling portal.

 

Step 3: Online Registration on the Official Portal

Visit the official Rajasthan NEET UG counselling portal (rajugneet2025.org or rajneetug2025.org for 2026). Complete Part 1 of registration by entering your NEET-UG details and generating an Application ID. Registration typically opens in July-August 2026 after MCC AIQ Round 1 results.

 

Step 4: Payment of Counselling Fee and Security Deposit

Pay the non-refundable counselling registration fee: ₹2,500 for General/EWS/OBC candidates, ₹1,500 for SC/ST/STA candidates with Rajasthan domicile. Additionally, pay the applicable security deposit based on your preferred seat type:

•       Government quota seat: ₹30,000

•       Management quota seat (Private college): ₹2,00,000

•       NRI / Private MBBS seat: ₹5,00,000

The security deposit is refundable if you do not get a seat, or if you withdraw before the cutoff date.

 

Step 5: Document Upload and Verification

Upload scanned copies of all required documents through the portal. For certain categories (NRI, defence, PwD), offline document verification is also required at designated centres. A large number of NRI candidates are eliminated at this stage due to incomplete or incorrect documentation.

 

Step 6: Online Choice Filling

This is the most critical step in your entire admission journey. You are given a window (typically 2-3 days) to fill your preferred colleges and quotas in order of preference. A strong choice-filling strategy — based on your state rank, category, and fee budget — is what separates students who get their preferred college from those who do not. Lock your choices before the auto-lock deadline.

 

Step 7: Seat Allotment

Seat allotment is done on the basis of your state rank (or All India rank for AIQ), reservation category, and the choices you filled. Results are published online. Rajasthan conducts four rounds:

•       Round 1 (August 2026): Main allotment based on merit and choices.

•       Round 2 (September 2026): Second allotment for unallotted candidates and those who upgraded.

•       Mop-Up Round (September–October 2026): Remaining seats filled.

•       Stray Vacancy Round: Final round for any leftover seats after all main rounds.

 

Step 8: Reporting to the Allotted College

Once you receive a seat allotment, report to the allotted college within the specified deadline — typically 2-3 days after allotment results. Carry all original documents and the demand draft / online payment proof for the fee. Failure to report on time means your seat is forfeited.

 

NOTE: Mop-Up and Stray Vacancy rounds for Round 2 onward are conducted OFFLINE at RUHS Dental College, Jaipur. Plan your travel accordingly if you are in a later round.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Rajasthan MBBS Admission

 

Mistake 1: Comparing state rank with All India rank. Your Rajasthan state rank is significantly better than your All India rank — roughly 1 lakh students from Rajasthan compete for state quota seats vs 22+ lakh NEET takers nationally. Always use state rank for predicting college chances.

 

Mistake 2: Ignoring domicile eligibility. Students who moved to Rajasthan recently for coaching often discover at the last minute that they do not have 5 years of schooling in Rajasthan. Verify your domicile eligibility early.

 

Mistake 3: Believing in 'direct admission' agents. There is no direct MBBS admission in Rajasthan. Every seat — including management and NRI quota — must go through the official counselling portal. Anyone claiming otherwise is misleading you.

 

Mistake 4: Not locking choices on time. The choice-filling window auto-locks at a specific time. Candidates who forget to lock their choices are not considered for allotment in that round.

 

Mistake 5: Poor choice-filling strategy. Filling only top-ranked colleges without including realistic options often results in no allotment. Include a mix of aspirational, realistic, and safe choices.

 

Mistake 6: Underestimating document preparation. Domicile certificates, category certificates, and gap certificates can take 2-4 weeks to obtain. Start document collection as soon as NEET results are declared.

 

Mistake 7: Missing the security deposit deadline. The security deposit must be paid within a specific 2-3 day window during choice filling. Missing this window means missing the counselling round entirely.
