Rajasthan NEET Cutoff 2026: Govt & Private Medical College Closing Ranks & Fees (State Quota & Management Quota)
TL;DR: Rajasthan's 85% State Quota MBBS counselling is run by the Office of the Chairman, NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission Board at rajneetug2026.org, covering Government Medical Colleges, RajMES semi-government colleges, RUHS CMS, ESIC, and private medical colleges. For NEET 2026, expected Round 1 General-category closing AIRs under State Quota: SMS Medical College Jaipur 2,200-2,600 · RUHS CMS Jaipur 3,400-3,900 · SPMC Bikaner 4,300-4,900 · SNMC Jodhpur 5,200-5,900. The State Quota General floor is expected at AIR 19,000-24,500 depending on paper difficulty. RajMES Government Management seats close 40,000-50,000 ranks looser than State Quota at the same colleges but cost ₹8.5L-₹9.57L per year against ₹70,340 subsidised. Service bond: 2 years rural posting or ₹5L penalty. Refundable security deposit: ₹10,000 (government choices) or ₹10L (private choices).
If you are sitting in Kota or Jaipur with two years of test-series data and a NEET 2026 target between 600 and 680 marks, Rajasthan is the toughest state in India to walk into without a precise rank-to-college plan. The state runs three layered admission tracks at the same colleges — 85% State Quota at subsidised government fees, RajMES Government Management at semi-government fees, and private college State Quota and Management Quota — and the closing AIRs between them swing by - ranks. Before reading the data tables, plug your projected score and category into the to check your admission chances → so you know which of those three tracks your number actually targets once the Re-NEET result drops.
This guide is for NEET UG 2026 Rajasthan-domicile aspirants and the families navigating the Office of the Chairman, NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission Board counselling at rajneetug2026.org. It covers the three domicile categories (URA, URB, and Government Employee Quota) with the exact 10-year residence and 5-year schooling tests, the dual security deposit structure (₹10,000 for government choices vs ₹10L for private choices), the 2-year rural service bond with its ₹5L penalty, the ₹5L seat-leaving penalty and security deposit forfeiture rule, the Rajasthan-specific MBC 5% reservation and the 45% ST-SA carve-out within the ST quota, historical 2024 and 2025 closing AIRs at SMS · RUHS · SPMC · SNMC, the RajMES Government Management seat trap (allotted in a "government" college at ₹8.5L+ annual fees instead of ₹70,340), private college State Quota vs Management Quota fee gaps, the three-scenario expected NEET 2026 cutoff matrix calibrated against the rescheduled 21 June Re-NEET, and the bank guarantee requirement at private medical colleges that catches middle-class families off-guard at admission.
Key takeaways
Rajasthan State Quota MBBS is administered by the NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission Board at rajneetug2026.org. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) Jaipur oversees policy and seat matrix approvals.
Registration fee: ₹2,500 General/OBC, ₹1,500 SC/ST/ST-STA. Refundable security deposit splits by choice type: ₹10,000 for government college choices, ₹10,00,000 for private medical college choices.
Three domicile categories: URA (parents 10-year WB residence + candidate's 5 years schooling in Rajasthan covering Class 8-12), URB (Bonafide Resident, schooling outside RJ permitted), Government Employee Quota (wards of state government or AIS Rajasthan-cadre officers with 3+ years of service).
Reservation: UR 36% · OBC 21% · MBC 5% · EWS 10% · SC 16% · ST 12% (with 45% of ST seats carved out for ST-SA, candidates from tribal scheduled areas).
2-year rural service bond at all government and RajMES colleges. Bond penalty: ₹5,00,000 or a 1-year bank guarantee at admission.
Seat-leaving penalty: security deposit forfeiture plus ₹5,00,000 if joined and later abandoned after registration close.
Expected NEET 2026 General State Quota closing AIRs: 19,000-24,500 depending on paper difficulty (low / moderate / high).
RajMES Government Management seats close ~35,000-50,000 ranks looser than State Quota at the same colleges but cost ₹8.5L-₹9.57L per year vs the ₹70,340 subsidised government rate.
What "Rajasthan NEET cutoff 2026" actually means
Rajasthan NEET Cutoff 2026 is the projected closing All India Rank (AIR) and marks band at which the last MBBS seat in each Rajasthan government, RajMES semi-government, or private medical college will be allotted under the 85% State Quota run by the Office of the Chairman, NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission Board, broken down by Rajasthan's six reservation categories (UR · OBC · MBC · EWS · SC · ST) and the ST-SA tribal-area sub-quota.
Two distinctions that get blurred in coverage:
AIR, not state rank. Rajasthan publishes closing ranks using NTA-issued All India Rank, which means the numbers in this guide are directly comparable to All India Quota tables and other state systems without translation.
Closing AIR by seat type, not by college. The same Rajasthan government medical college has two distinct closing AIRs in the same year: one for the 85% State Quota seats at ₹70,340 annual fees, and a much looser one for RajMES Government Management seats at ₹8.5L-₹9.57L annual fees. A "general government college cutoff" without specifying which of the two seat types is misleading.
The Rajasthan counselling architecture
Every Rajasthan medical college seat flows through one of two tracks.
15% All India Quota (AIQ)
Managed by the Medical Counselling Committee. Covers 15% of MBBS seats at all Rajasthan government medical colleges. Open to all NEET-qualified candidates nationally on AIR alone, with no Rajasthan domicile requirement.
85% State Quota
Managed by the Office of the Chairman, NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission/Counselling Board, under the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Government of Rajasthan. The board's domain rotates yearly to rajneetug2026.org for the current cycle. The State Quota track covers:
85% of seats at all Rajasthan government medical colleges (SMS Jaipur, SPMC Bikaner, SNMC Jodhpur, RNT Udaipur, GMC Kota, plus the newer GMCs at Pali, Bharatpur, Dungarpur, Barmer, Bhilwara, Sikar, Churu, Banswara, Karauli, Bharatpur, and others).
85% of seats at all RajMES (Rajasthan Medical Education Society) semi-government colleges, split internally between State Quota (subsidised, ₹70,340/yr) and Government Management Quota (self-financing, ₹8.5L-₹9.57L/yr) seats.
The RUHS College of Medical Sciences (RUHS CMS) Jaipur.
ESIC Medical College, Alwar (for ESIC-quota and state-quota seats).
All Rajasthan private medical college State Quota seats (subsidised) and Management Quota seats (full-fee).
NRI seats follow college-specific allotment overseen by the same board.
The three domicile categories
Rajasthan's State Quota eligibility uses a slightly more layered domicile framework than most states. Pick the wrong category at registration and the application gets rejected at document verification.
Domicile Category 1 (URA: Local Schooling)
For candidates whose natural parent(s) have continuously resided in Rajasthan for at least 10 years AND who themselves have studied in a recognised educational institution in Rajasthan for at least 5 years during this period, with the 5-year schooling block falling within Class 8 to Class 12.
This is the standard route for the majority of Rajasthan-domicile candidates. The 5-year schooling proof comes from school certificates dated across Class 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 at one or more Rajasthan schools.
Domicile Category 2 (URB: Bonafide Resident)
For candidates who are Bonafide Residents of Rajasthan, even if they completed their schooling outside the state. The Bonafide Resident certificate is issued by the appropriate revenue authority on parental residence proof.
This is the practical category for the steady cohort of Rajasthan-domicile families whose child studied in Delhi, Kota's residential coaching, or Mumbai schools but maintained the family's Rajasthan permanent address.
Domicile Category 3 (Government Employee Quota)
For wards of serving or retired employees of the Government of Rajasthan, or All India Services (IAS, IPS, IFS) officers of the Rajasthan cadre, who have served the state for at least 3 years.
A small but operationally important category for AIS-officer families on inter-state postings.
Aside: The 10-year parent residence test is measured as continuous residence, not aggregate. A family that moved out for a 2-year posting in the middle of a 12-year Rajasthan stay does not automatically qualify for URA; the URB route via Bonafide Resident certificate is the correct path in that case.
Registration fees, the dual security deposit, and bonds
Rajasthan's counselling financial architecture is heavier than most states, with a deliberate ₹10L private-college deposit designed to keep non-serious bidders off premium private seats.
Registration fee (non-refundable)
General / OBC candidates:₹2,500.
SC / ST / ST-STA candidates:₹1,500.
Single registration covers all rounds (Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, Stray Vacancy). No per-round registration fee.
Refundable security deposit (the dual structure)
This is the structural detail competitor blogs miss. The security deposit depends on what kind of seats you list in your choice form, not just whether you register:
Candidates choosing only government college seats (both 85% State Quota and RajMES Government Management seats at any government/semi-government college): ₹10,000 refundable security deposit.
Candidates including private medical college seats in their choice list: ₹10,00,000 (₹10L) refundable security deposit, mandated by the counselling board to prevent casual bidding on high-fee private seats.
The ₹10L deposit is refundable after counselling closure on the registered bank account, but it has to be paid upfront before choice-filling. For middle-class families considering private colleges as a backup, the ₹10L cash float requirement is a real planning constraint; arrange the funds before NEET result week, not after.
The 2-year rural service bond
All students admitted to government medical colleges and RajMES semi-government colleges must sign a service bond:
Obligation:2 years of mandatory service in Rajasthan government rural health postings after MBBS graduation and internship.
Penalty:₹5,00,000 (₹5L) for non-compliance, OR a 1-year bank guarantee submitted at admission as security against the bond.
The bond applies uniformly to male and female candidates. Unlike Haryana or Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan offers no gender-based concession. The bank guarantee route is the common alternative for families who anticipate the candidate will pursue postgraduate studies immediately and prefer not to lock ₹5L in cash; the bank guarantee is typically issued for 1 year and renewed annually until the bond is discharged.
Seat-leaving penalty
Two scenarios trigger penalties at WBMCC-equivalent severity in Rajasthan:
Resignation after Round 2 of state counselling: security deposit forfeiture (₹10,000 government track or ₹10L private track).
Resignation after joining a seat and after the counselling registration window closes: seat-leaving penalty of ₹5,00,000 (₹5L).
The penalty applies even to candidates who join a Rajasthan state-quota seat and later wish to switch to an All India Quota seat allotted in a subsequent MCC round.
The Rajasthan reservation system: MBC and ST-SA explained
Rajasthan operates a six-category reservation framework with one Rajasthan-specific category (MBC) and one sub-quota carve-out (ST-SA) that most national-level coverage ignores.
Unreserved (UR):36%
Other Backward Classes (OBC):21%
Most Backward Classes (MBC):5% (a Rajasthan-specific category)
Economically Weaker Sections (EWS):10%
Scheduled Castes (SC):16%
Scheduled Tribes (ST):12%, with 45% of ST seats reserved for ST-SA (Scheduled Area)
The 5% MBC quota
The Most Backward Classes (MBC) category in Rajasthan covers communities like Gujjars, Banjaras, Gadia Lohars, Raikas, and certain Dewasi sub-groups that the state classifies separately from the wider OBC pool. The 5% quota was the outcome of a long-running state-level reservation matter and is now a permanent feature of Rajasthan's counselling.
The operational impact: MBC closing AIRs sit roughly midway between OBC and SC. In 2024, OBC General-boys closed at AIR 19,768, while MBC boys closed at 28,537 — a ~9,000-rank loosening for MBC. A candidate with a Rajasthan MBC certificate who incorrectly selects "OBC" at registration loses meaningful cutoff value.
ST-SA: the tribal-area carve-out
Of the 12% ST quota, 45% is reserved for ST-SA candidates — Scheduled Tribe candidates residing in notified tribal Scheduled Area districts of Rajasthan (primarily Banswara, Dungarpur, Pratapgarh, and parts of Udaipur and Sirohi). ST-SA closing AIRs run materially looser than the general ST quota. In 2024, ST (Non-Tribal) boys closed at AIR 1,34,219, while ST (Tribal Area / ST-SA) boys closed at 3,22,344. Eligibility is determined by the ST certificate AND a tribal-area residence certificate from the appropriate district authority.
NEET 2026 scoring rules and the 2024-vs-2025 swing
Per the National Testing Agency, NEET UG 2026 is a 180-question paper across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, scored at +4 correct, -1 incorrect, 0 unattempted, out of 720. The Re-NEET on 21 June 2026 follows the identical pattern, syllabus, and marking scheme as the cancelled 3 May 2026 exam, with no re-registration and no extra fee.
For Rajasthan, paper difficulty matters more than in most states because the state's candidate density at the 600-680 band is unusually high (Kota's coaching ecosystem alone produces a top-band cohort that fills SMS, RUHS, SPMC, and SNMC). A small shift in difficulty shifts ranks dramatically:
NEET 2024 (hyper-inflated, easy paper): Topper scored 720. Rajasthan State Quota General closing AIR sat at 19,294, corresponding to 655 marks.
NEET 2025 (hyper-deflated, tough Physics): Topper score crashed to 686 (Rajasthan's Mahesh Kumar). Rajasthan State Quota General closing AIR loosened to ~24,000, corresponding to just 535 marks.
The 2024-to-2025 swing was a 120-mark band shift for the same closing seat. Plan for paper difficulty as a variable, not a constant.
The NTA has fully retired "candidate age" and "application number" as tie-breakers; ties resolve through Biology marks → Chemistry → Physics → overall accuracy ratio → subject-wise accuracy → computerised draw. At the SMS Jaipur 2,300-2,600 AIR band that decides Rajasthan's premier college, accuracy ratio (correct attempts to total attempts) matters as much as the gross score.
The Re-NEET 2026 factor and the Rajasthan counselling timeline
The 3 May 2026 original exam was cancelled by the NTA. Re-NEET 2026 is now scheduled for 21 June 2026, with no re-registration. The 7-week postponement compresses the Rajasthan counselling timeline:
NEET 2026 result declaration: mid to late July 2026 (NTA tentative).
Rajasthan State Quota registration opens: late July 2026 at rajneetug2026.org.
Round 1 choice filling and allotment: late July to early August 2026.
Round 2 allotment: mid to late August 2026.
Round 3 allotment: September 2026.
Stray Vacancy Round: late September to early October 2026.
Final reporting and academic session start: October to mid-November 2026.
Three operational consequences for Rajasthan candidates:
Have the domicile / Bonafide Resident certificate signed by mid-July. District authority signing turnarounds can stretch to 2-3 weeks in Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur; do not stack the paperwork on top of NEET result week.
Decide on the ₹10L private deposit early. If your family is considering private medical colleges as a backup, the ₹10L security deposit must be paid before choice-filling. Arrange the cash float in July, not in August when choice filling opens.
Round 2 is the decision point. Resignation after Round 2 triggers security deposit forfeiture. If you upgrade in Round 2, the new seat is locked.
Historical Rajasthan cutoffs: 2024 vs 2025 actuals
Reference data for serious 2026 planning. All AIRs are NTA All India Rank under the 85% State Quota Round 1 closing.
Table 1: Top Rajasthan government medical college Round 1 closing (General)
A few patterns worth pulling out before the projections. SMS Jaipur stays the tightest Rajasthan government college by a wide margin; the 2024-to-2025 rank loosening at SMS was only ~140 ranks (2,363 to ~2,500) against a 60-mark difficulty drop, which shows how rigid the top of the Rajasthan funnel is. RUHS, SPMC, and SNMC each loosened by ~300-400 ranks across the same swing. Marks dropped by 55-60 at every top college across the paper-difficulty shift, but AIRs only loosened by 5-10%. The Kota coaching cohort defends the top band tightly.

The 40,000-50,000 rank gap between the State Quota and RajMES Government Management tiers at the same college is the most underexplained number in Rajasthan medical admissions. A General-category candidate at AIR 58,000 does not get a government college "free seat" — they get a RajMES Government Management seat that costs ₹8.5L+ per year (~₹38L over the full course) instead of the subsidised ₹70,340/yr. Families who land here unprepared often cannot fund the seat and end up forfeiting.
Table 4: Private medical colleges — fees and 2024 closing AIRs
The full-fee tier, where State Quota seats are subsidised by the state government and Management Quota seats run at the college's commercial rate.
Private SQ closing AIRs cluster between 1,20,000 and 4,50,000 General; MQ AIRs run anywhere from 4,50,000 to past 10,00,000. The structural decision for any candidate landing in the 60,000-1,20,000 AIR band is whether RajMES Government Management at ₹8.5L/yr (clinical exposure at SMS-tier institutional networks) beats Private SQ at ₹15L-₹18L/yr at MGMC, Geetanjali, or NIMS. The economics favour RajMES; the brand and infrastructure often favour a top private SQ seat. Run the numbers both ways before locking the choice list.

Expected 2026 Round 1 closing AIRs (General, top government colleges)
The three structural issues that competitor coverage of Rajasthan NEET routinely flattens.
1. The RajMES government-college fee trap
Competitors list colleges like RajMES Sikar, RajMES Pali, RajMES Bharatpur, and RajMES Dungarpur under "Government Colleges" and quote the subsidised annual fee of ₹70,340/yr. They fail to flag that approximately 35% of seats at these government-run RajMES colleges are Management Quota seats charged at ₹8.5L/yr to ₹9.57L/yr — over 12x the subsidised rate.
The practical consequence: a candidate at AIR 55,000 General can get allotted to RajMES Pali (a "government" college) and face an annual fee bill of ₹8.5L instead of ₹70,340. Without prior knowledge, families assume "government college = ₹70K fee" and are shocked at the admission desk. Many candidates have walked away from RajMES Management seats they could not fund, triggering security deposit forfeiture.
If your projected General AIR sits in the 45,000-60,000 band, model RajMES Government Management seat allotment explicitly. Compare the ₹8.5L/yr outlay against a private SQ seat at ₹15L-₹18L/yr or a private MQ seat at ₹22L-₹26L/yr and decide the choice list accordingly.
2. The MBC quota that most national portals ignore
Standard national coverage of Rajasthan NEET buckets all OBC into a single category. Rajasthan's 5% MBC quota is a separate reservation with its own closing AIR. The 2024 data showed MBC General-boys closing at AIR 28,537, against OBC General-boys at 19,768 — a meaningful ~9,000-rank loosening for MBC.
For Rajasthan candidates whose family caste category sits in the MBC list (Gujjar, Banjara, Gadia Lohar, Raika, certain Dewasi sub-groups), the MBC certificate from the Rajasthan Backward Classes Commission unlocks materially better closing AIRs than the OBC certificate would. Verify your category on the Rajasthan state notification before registration.
3. The bank guarantee requirement at private medical colleges
Standard coverage does not mention that private medical colleges in Rajasthan typically require candidates to submit a bank guarantee for the next year's fee or post-dated cheques covering the entire MBBS course duration at admission. For a Geetanjali MQ seat at ₹26L/yr, the admission desk can demand bank guarantees totalling ~₹1.3Cr to cover the full course liability.
This is a major cash-flow gate for middle-class families. The candidate's family must arrange the bank guarantee facility (typically 50% cash margin against the guarantee amount at most public-sector banks) before reporting. Families who arrive expecting to pay only the first year's fee are turned away.
For families planning private MBBS routes, talk to the bank in advance, well before the NEET 2026 result. The bank guarantee facility approval itself takes 2-3 weeks at most public-sector banks.
Choice-filling strategy for the 21 June Re-NEET
A practical workflow once the result drops in late July 2026.
Confirm your domicile category and certificate. URA (10-year parent residence + 5-year RJ schooling), URB (Bonafide Resident, schooling outside RJ permitted), or Government Employee Quota. Get the Bonafide Resident or domicile certificate signed by mid-July.
Verify your reservation sub-category. OBC, MBC, EWS, SC, ST, or ST-SA. The Rajasthan state certificate explicitly states your category on the face; do not assume "OBC" if your community is on the MBC list.
Decide on the ₹10L private deposit upfront. If private medical colleges are in your choice list, arrange the ₹10L cash float before NEET result week.
Register at rajneetug2026.org. Pay the ₹2,500 (General/OBC) or ₹1,500 (SC/ST/ST-STA) registration fee. Upload domicile certificate, NEET scorecard, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, category certificate, and either the ₹10,000 or ₹10L security deposit receipt.
Build a tiered choice list anchored on your projected General AIR (adjust upward for reservation categories):
Top tier (General AIR 0-3,000): SMS Medical College Jaipur.
Strong second tier (3,000-6,000): RUHS CMS, SPMC Bikaner, SNMC Jodhpur.
Third tier (6,000-12,000): RNT Udaipur, GMC Kota.
Fourth tier (12,000-22,000): Jhalawar, GMC Bharatpur, GMC Pali, GMC Dungarpur, GMC Barmer, and newer RajMES State Quota seats.
Fifth tier (22,000-60,000): RajMES Government Management seats at ₹8.5L-₹9.57L/yr (only if your family can fund the ~₹38L total course outlay).
Sixth tier (60,000-1,50,000): Private medical college State Quota seats at MGMC, Geetanjali, NIMS (₹15L-₹18L/yr).
Seventh tier (1,50,000+): Private medical college Management Quota seats (₹22L-₹26.75L/yr) — only after confirming the bank guarantee facility with your bank.
Round 2 is the lock point. Resignation after Round 2 triggers security deposit forfeiture. If you upgrade in Round 2, you cannot back out without losing the deposit.
For private MBQ candidates: confirm the bank guarantee facility approval at your bank before reporting to the college. Geetanjali, MGMC, and NIMS each have their own bank guarantee or post-dated cheque requirements at admission.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What is the expected NEET 2026 closing rank for SMS Medical College Jaipur under State Quota?
For General category, target Round 1 closing AIR 2,200-2,600 (depending on paper difficulty). 2025 Round 1 closed at ~2,500 against a 635-mark cutoff; 2024 closed at 2,363 against 695 marks. SMS Jaipur remains the tightest Rajasthan government medical college by a wide margin.
Q: What is the refundable security deposit for private medical colleges in Rajasthan?
The Office of the Chairman, NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission Board mandates a ₹10,00,000 (₹10L) refundable security deposit if a candidate lists any private medical college in their choice form. Candidates choosing only government college seats pay ₹10,000.
Q: What is the difference between government and management seats in RajMES medical colleges?
Government seats are State Quota seats subsidised at ₹70,340/yr. RajMES Government Management seats at the same college are self-financing at ₹8.5L-₹9.57L/yr. The closing AIR for management seats is 40,000-50,000 ranks looser than State Quota at the same college.
Q: Is there a service bond for MBBS in Rajasthan government medical colleges?
Yes. All students admitted to Rajasthan government and RajMES colleges sign a 2-year rural service bond. Non-compliance triggers a ₹5,00,000 penalty, or candidates can submit a 1-year bank guarantee at admission as security against the bond.
Q: What is the MBC quota in Rajasthan NEET counselling?
MBC (Most Backward Classes) is a 5% Rajasthan-specific reservation covering communities like Gujjar, Banjara, Gadia Lohar, and Raika. MBC closing AIRs sit roughly midway between OBC and SC; in 2024, MBC General-boys closed at AIR 28,537 against OBC at 19,768.
Q: When is the NEET 2026 exam scheduled, and how does it affect Rajasthan counselling?
Re-NEET 2026 is scheduled for 21 June 2026 after the cancellation of the 3 May 2026 original paper. Rajasthan State Quota counselling at rajneetug2026.org is expected to open in late July 2026, with Round 1 allotment in early August.
The bottom line
Rajasthan NEET 2026 is unforgiving for two reasons: the candidate density at the 600-680 band concentrated by Kota's coaching ecosystem, and a layered three-track admission system where the same college offers seats at ₹70,340/yr, ₹8.5L/yr, or ₹15L+/yr depending on which quota route allots you. SMS Jaipur, RUHS, SPMC, and SNMC will be locked at the same 2,200-5,900 General AIR band they have held since 2023. The Round 1 decisions a candidate makes after the 21 June Re-NEET — choosing the right reservation sub-category at registration, deciding on the ₹10L private deposit before NEET result week, modelling RajMES Management vs Private SQ economics correctly at the 45,000-60,000 AIR band, confirming bank guarantee facilities for any private MBQ choices — drive whether the candidate ends up at SMS Jaipur, at a RajMES Pali Management seat their family struggles to fund, or stranded outside the seat matrix entirely.

With four weeks left to the Re-NEET, accuracy ratio is the variable most candidates can still move; rank tightening at the top band rewards it more than gross attempts.
