Rajasthan NEET PG Merit List 2026: Where Things Stand Today
As of today, NEET PG 2026 admit cards were released in the last week of August 2026, so the exam cycle is still in its early stage. The Rajasthan NEET PG Medical and Dental Admission Board has not yet released the state merit list or counselling schedule for the 2026 admission cycle; this is expected only after NBEMS declares the NEET PG 2026 result and MCC finalizes the central counselling calendar. Candidates should keep checking this page and the official RUHS/board websites, since state counselling typically opens registration within a few weeks of the result announcement.

How the Rajasthan NEET PG Merit List Is Prepared (Tie-Breaking Criteria)
The merit list ranks only those candidates who register for Rajasthan state counselling and meet the eligibility conditions; it is not identical to the All India NEET PG rank list. Where two or more candidates end up with the same NEET PG score, the counselling board applies tie-breaking criteria to assign a distinct state rank – typically in this order:
Join NEET PG News 2026 | Priority | Tie-Breaking Factor |

| 3 | Alphabetical order of candidate’s name, if a tie still persists |
