Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 Round 2: MBBS & BDS Counselling Schedule Released

Rajasthan's medical counselling authority has released the Round 2 schedule for MBBS and BDS admissions under NEET UG 2026. Here's the complete timeline, broken down stage by stage.

Registration & Application

Registration & Application is open from 6th to 8th September, 2026. Within this window, fee payment must be completed by 8th September, 4:00 PM, followed by application submission, which closes later the same day at 8:00 PM.

Note the sequencing here — fee payment closes a full four hours before application submission does, so candidates should complete payment well ahead of the final submission deadline rather than treating both as due at the same moment.

Security Deposit & Choice Filling

This stage runs from 7th to 10th September, 2026, overlapping with the tail end of the registration window. Security deposit payment and Choice Filling are both open until 10th September, 5:00 PM.

Importantly, choices auto-lock at 11:45 PM on 10th September — this gives candidates roughly seven additional hours after the stated 5:00 PM deadline before their choices are automatically finalized. Candidates should not read this as an extension to actively make changes, but rather as the system's cutoff point after which no further edits are possible, whether made deliberately or not.

Merit List

The Provisional Merit List is due at midnight on 8th September, 2026 — right as the registration and application window closes for the day.

The Combined Merit List follows on 10th September, 2026 — the same day Choice Filling and the security deposit window close, and the day choices auto-lock that evening.

Round 2 Allotment Result

The Round 2 Allotment Result will be declared on 14th September, 2026.

Fee Payment & Reporting

Fee Payment & Reporting for allotted candidates runs from 15th to 18th September, 2026, between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM each day.

Within this window, Tuition Fee payment specifically must be completed by 18th September, 12:30 PM — a few hours earlier than the general 4:00 PM daily cutoff, on the very last day of the reporting window.

The Cluster of Deadlines on September 8 and 10

Two dates in this schedule carry unusually heavy weight. 8th September alone has three separate deadlines: fee payment (4:00 PM), application submission (8:00 PM), and the Provisional Merit List (midnight). 10th September carries the Security Deposit and Choice Filling deadline (5:00 PM), the Combined Merit List release, and the choice auto-lock (11:45 PM) — all on the same day.

Candidates should treat both dates as high-priority checkpoints rather than routine entries on the calendar, since missing any single deadline within these clusters can affect your standing in the round.

Why the Tuition Fee Deadline Stands Out

The Tuition Fee payment deadline (18th September, 12:30 PM) falling a few hours before the general reporting window's daily close (4:00 PM) on the same final day is a detail easy to miss. Candidates reporting on the last day should prioritize completing tuition fee payment early in the day, rather than assuming they have until 4:00 PM like on the preceding reporting days.

What to Do Now

Complete registration, fee payment, and application submission within the 6th-8th September window, keeping in mind that fee payment (4:00 PM) closes before application submission (8:00 PM) on 8th September.

Finish your Security Deposit payment and Choice Filling well before the 10th September, 5:00 PM deadline — don't rely on the 11:45 PM auto-lock buffer as extra decision-making time.

Check both the Provisional Merit List (8th September, midnight) and the Combined Merit List (10th September) as soon as each is published, to track your standing accurately through the round.

If allotted a seat, plan your reporting and fee payment early within the 15th-18th September window, and specifically ensure Tuition Fee payment is completed before 12:30 PM on 18th September — not the later 4:00 PM general deadline.

Key Things to Remember

Registration and application for Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 Round 2 run from 6th-8th September, with fee payment and application submission deadlines on the same final day but at different times.

Choice Filling closes 10th September, 5:00 PM, with choices auto-locking at 11:45 PM the same night.

The Round 2 Allotment Result is due 14th September, 2026.

Reporting runs 15th-18th September, but Tuition Fee payment must be completed by 12:30 PM on 18th September — earlier than the general 4:00 PM daily window.
