The Rajasthan NEET UG Round 3 counselling has created a surprising scenario for NRI candidates. Recent findings show that a notable number of NRI quota seats are still open at various government medical colleges, even at some of the state's most prestigious institutions.
What stands out is that there are vacancies in these top-tier government medical colleges, while numerous other colleges have already filled their NRI quotas completely.
For NRI students, Round 3 is shaping up to be a crucial opportunity. But keep in mind—it could be the last chance to participate under the NRI quota, depending on the counselling rules in place.
NRI Seats Vacant in Top Government Medical Colleges
The most striking news is the availability of NRI seats in several of Rajasthan's well-regarded medical colleges.
The top contenders in this category include:
* RUHS College of Medical Sciences
* RNT Medical College, Udaipur
* J.L.N. Medical College, Ajmer
* Government Medical College, Kota
These four institutions reportedly have around 28 NRI seats available for Round 3.
It’s unusual to see vacancies in such sought-after colleges, and this could spell opportunity for eligible NRI candidates.
Category B Medical Colleges Have No Vacancies
On the flip side, things look different for another group of government medical colleges.
Institutions such as:
* Jhalawar
* Bharatpur
* Sikar
* Alwar
are showing zero NRI vacancies for Round 3.
This discrepancy means that available seats aren't evenly distributed among Rajasthan's government medical colleges.
While top Category A institutions have open spots, several Category B colleges have already filled their NRI quotas.
Why Are NRI Seats Still Vacant in Top Colleges?
One explanation that’s been floated revolves around the differences in fee structures for NRI seats.
For the leading Category A institutions, the fee is around US$38,000 per year, while other colleges have slashed theirs to about US$25,000 per year.
This big gap in annual fees might have swayed candidates’ decisions.
Some students from Rajasthan may have opted for the more affordable Category B colleges instead of the pricier top-tier options, despite the difference in prestige.
Additional NRI Vacancies Across Rajasthan
But the vacancy issue isn't limited to just those four major institutions.
Several other government medical colleges also have NRI quota openings.
According to the analysis:
* Sri Ganganagar: 3 seats vacant
* Jaisalmer: 7 seats vacant
* Tonk: 7 seats vacant
Other colleges are reporting vacancies as well, with a number showing double-digit NRI vacancies.
All told, around 37 NRI quota seats are available for Round 3 across Rajasthan's government medical colleges.
Why Round 3 Could Be the Last Opportunity for NRI Candidates
This upcoming round is especially critical for two reasons.
1. Vacant NRI Seats May Be Converted
As per the counselling process outlined in the analysis, any NRI seats left vacant after Round 3 could be converted to the general category.
This means that if candidates don’t secure these seats in Round 3, they may not get another shot at NRI-specific counselling.
2. No NRI Opportunity in Round 4
Another key point is that NRI candidates might not get a chance to participate in Round 4 under the NRI quota, based on the counselling framework discussed.
So, students who qualify and are keen on securing an NRI seat need to stay alert during Round 3.
First-Time NRI Candidates Need to Be Extra Cautious
For students stepping into the Rajasthan NRI counseling for the first time, things can get a bit tricky.
NRI admissions come with a whole list of specific documentation that pertains to the candidate, their NRI status, sponsors, and other eligibility criteria.
If any of a candidate’s documents are incomplete, incorrect, or don’t match up during verification, there’s usually not much time to fix the issue later on.
And since there might not be another chance for NRI counseling, it’s best to address any documentation issues well in advance, rather than waiting for a last-minute panic.
Double-Check Your Documents
Before diving into Round 3, candidates should take the time to verify all required documents. This includes:
* NRI status documents
* Sponsorship documents
* Relationship documents
* Candidate identity documents
* Academic certificates
* NEET-related documents
* Affidavits and undertakings
* Any financial/supporting documents needed under the NRI rules
It’s essential to confirm the exact document requirements through the latest official Rajasthan counseling notification.

Final Thoughts
Rajasthan's NEET UG Round 3 NRI counseling offers a unique vacancy situation.
Around 37 NRI quota seats are reportedly unfilled across government medical colleges, with about 28 seats clustered in four major institutions — RUHS, RNT Udaipur, Ajmer, and Kota.
On the flip side, colleges like Jhalawar, Bharatpur, Sikar, and Alwar show no NRI vacancies, highlighting how candidate choices and fee structures influence seat distribution.
For eligible NRI candidates, Round 3 could be a golden opportunity. Just keep in mind that any seats that remain vacant after the NRI allotment may be reassigned per counseling rules, and further NRI options might not be available in Round 4.
First-time NRI applicants must be diligent about document verification. One missing or incorrect document could jeopardize eligibility, so ensure every requirement is double-checked against the latest official Rajasthan counseling notification before you submit anything.
