    Rajasthan MBBS Seats: AIQ vs State Quota

    While Rajasthan has increased its MBBS seat intake for NEET 2026, candidates should note that these seats are filled through different counselling quotas. Government medical college seats are divided between the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) and the 85% Rajasthan State Quota. Since the number of government MBBS seats remains unchanged in 2026, the seats available under the 15% AIQ and 85% Rajasthan State Quota will also largely remain unchanged.

    On the other hand, all 900 additional MBBS seats have been added in private medical colleges. These seats are allotted through the Rajasthan MBBS counselling process under different seat categories as per the admission rules. As a result, the expansion in MBBS admissions for NEET 2026 will primarily benefit candidates considering private medical colleges.
