What is Security Deposit in Rajasthan NEET UG Counselling?
The security deposit is a refundable amount collected from students during online counselling registration. The Medical Education Department, Rajasthan requires this payment to ensure that students who receive a seat allotment actually report to their allotted college. It works as a commitment fee held by the authority during the counselling process and returned under specific conditions.
The security deposit is separate from the non-refundable registration fee and must be paid alongside it at the time of registration. Students who do not receive any seat allotment across all counselling rounds receive a full refund of the security deposit to their original payment source.
