UNIRAJ First Merit List 2026 Out: UG Admission Dates, Cut Offs and Document Verification

The University of Rajasthan (UNIRAJ) has released the first merit list for undergraduate admissions for the 2026–27 academic session. If you applied for BA, BSc, BCom, or other UG programmes at UNIRAJ constituent colleges in Jaipur, this is the update you have been waiting for. Shortlisted candidates must complete document verification between 30 June and 2 July 2026, and pay the admission fee by 3 July 2026 through the official portal.

This guide explains how to check the UNIRAJ first merit list 2026, what cut-offs look like at top colleges, which documents you need, and what to do if your name is not on the list. Whether you are a Rajasthan board student or have applied from another state, the steps below will help you complete admission without missing deadlines.

UNIRAJ First Merit List 2026: Key Highlights at a Glance

The Rajasthan University UG admission process for session 2026–27 follows a centralised, merit-based system managed by the Central Admission Committee. Unlike entrance-exam-driven admissions at many private institutions, UNIRAJ selects students primarily on the basis of Class 12 marks and category-wise reservation rules.

According to university officials, more than 22,000 applications were received for UG programmes, including roughly 6,700 for the four flagship constituent colleges. With applications nearly three times the number of available seats, cut-offs for popular courses have risen compared with previous years.

Important: Failure to complete document verification or pay fees within the given window can lead to automatic cancellation of your allotted seat. Vacant seats will then be offered through subsequent merit lists.

About University of Rajasthan (UNIRAJ) UG Admissions

The University of Rajasthan, Jaipur is one of Rajasthan's oldest and most recognised public universities. Its constituent colleges—Maharaja college, Maharani college, University Rajasthan college, and Commerce college are among the most sought-after destinations for arts, science, and commerce undergraduates in the state capital.

For session 2026–27, UNIRAJ is admitting students to programmes including BA, BSc, BCom, BBA, BCA, BPA (Bachelor of Performing Arts), BVA (Bachelor of Visual Arts), B.Tech, and select integrated programmes. Admissions are processed under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 framework, where students earn a bachelor's degree after three years and may continue for a fourth year to obtain an honours qualification.

Which Colleges Released the First Merit List?

The first merit list covers UNIRAJ constituent colleges, including:

• Maharaja College – popular for science programmes such as BSc Mathematics and BSc Physics
• Maharani College – a premier women's college known for high cut-offs in BA honours subjects
• University Rajasthan College (URC) – one of the oldest affiliated colleges with strong arts and science streams
• Commerce College – the go-to choice for BCom and accountancy-related programmes
• Other constituent and affiliated colleges under UNIRAJ

Students who applied to multiple colleges or courses should check each allotment separately on the admission portal.

UNIRAJ First Merit List 2026 Cut-Off Trends

Cut-offs reflect both seat availability and applicant volume. With record applications in 2026, general-category cut-offs at flagship colleges remain steep, especially for humanities and commerce programmes at Maharani College and Commerce College.

Representative Cut-Offs (General Category, First List)

These figures give a realistic picture of competition at UNIRAJ's top colleges. For context, premier Delhi University colleges such as Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Jesus and Mary College, and Indraprastha College for Women also see similarly high cut-offs for popular UG courses—though their admission systems differ from Rajasthan University's merit-list model.

Reserved-category cut-offs (OBC, EWS, SC, ST, and other applicable categories) are published separately on the portal. Always verify the cut-off for your exact category and subject combination.

Why Are Cut-Offs Higher This Year?

University officials noted that application numbers are roughly three times the total seat intake. More applicants with strong Class 12 percentages naturally push cut-offs upward. At Maharaja College, for example, the BSc Mathematics cut-off stood at 96% in 2026 compared with 97.4% in the previous cycle—a reminder that year-on-year trends can vary by programme even when overall competition rises.

How to Check UNIRAJ First Merit List 2026 Online

You can verify your merit status from home using the official admission portal. Keep your application number and date of birth ready before you begin.

1. Visit admissions.univraj.org or go to uniofraj.org and open the UG admission section.
2. Click on "Merit List" or "Merit by College List".
3. Select your college and course from the dropdown menus.
4. Enter your application number, date of birth, and captcha (if prompted).
5. Submit the form and review your name, allotted college, course, and category.
6. Download or print the merit list page for your records.

Prof. Ramavatar Sharma, convener of UNIRAJ's Central Admission Committee, has advised students to contact their allotted college directly for any admission-related assistance beyond what is shown on the portal.

What to Do After Your Name Appears on the Merit List

Being shortlisted is only the first step. You must complete physical document verification and online fee payment within the prescribed dates to confirm your seat.

Step 1: Report to Your Allotted College (30 June – 2 July 2026)

Visit the college mentioned in your merit allotment during working hours. Arrive with all original documents and photocopies. Colleges typically operate verification counters for merit-list candidates during this three-day window—do not wait until the last day, as queues can be long.

Step 2: Complete Document Verification

College staff will cross-check your certificates against the details submitted in your online application. Any mismatch in name spelling, board, marks, or category can delay or jeopardise your admission. Resolve discrepancies immediately with supporting affidavits or corrected certificates where applicable.

Step 3: Create Your ABC ID Before Fee Payment

Under NEP 2020, every university student must register for an Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) ID through the national portal at abc.gov.in, typically via DigiLocker and the Meri Pehchaan authentication system. UNIRAJ has made ABC ID creation mandatory before fee deposit. Generate your 12-digit ABC ID in advance so that payment is not blocked on the last day.

Step 4: Pay Admission Fee Online by 3 July 2026

After successful document verification, log back into the admission portal and pay the prescribed admission fee through the online payment gateway. Save the payment receipt immediately. Your admission is considered confirmed only after both verification and fee payment are complete.

Documents Required for UNIRAJ Document Verification

Carry originals and self-attested photocopies of the following documents to your allotted college:

• Class 10 mark sheet and passing certificate
• Class 12 mark sheet and passing certificate
• Printout of the online application form
• Aadhaar card or Jan Aadhaar
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Transfer Certificate (TC) from your last institution
• Migration Certificate (if you passed Class 12 from a board other than RBSE or if required by the college)
• Caste/category certificate (if applicable)
• Income certificate (if applicable for fee concession or scholarship)
• Domicile or bonafide Rajasthan resident certificate (if claimed)
• Sports or disability certificate (if claimed under relevant quota)
• ABC ID details or printout

Pro tip: Arrange documents in the order listed on the college notice board. Keep at least two sets of photocopies and multiple passport photos. Missing even one certificate can force you to return on another day while seats remain time-bound.

Understanding NEP 2020 and the 3+1 Year UG Model at UNIRAJ

Rajasthan University has aligned its UG structure with NEP 2020. Students can exit with a bachelor's degree after completing three years (six semesters) of study. Those who continue into the fourth year and meet honours requirements receive an honours degree in their major subject.

This model also supports multiple entry and exit points and credit transfer through the ABC framework. When comparing UNIRAJ with other institutions—for instance, design programmes at Arch College of Design and Business, Jaipur or Centre for Design Excellence, Jaipur—remember that UNIRAJ's merit-list system applies to its own affiliated and constituent colleges, not to private or autonomous institutes that may use separate entrance tests.

Programmes and Colleges Under UNIRAJ Admission 2026

Arts, Commerce, and Science Programmes

The bulk of UNIRAJ UG admissions are in traditional streams—BA with subject majors in political science, history, economics, English, and other humanities; BSc in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and life sciences; and BCom in regular and accountancy-business studies variants. Commerce College remains the focal point for commerce aspirants, while Maharaja College leads in science cut-offs.

Professional and Applied Programmes

Beyond conventional degrees, UNIRAJ also offers BBA, BCA, performing arts, visual arts, and technical programmes including B.Tech under specific departments. Students interested in engineering outside the UNIRAJ merit system often explore options such as Lords Institute of Engineering and Technology, Jaipur, Imperial College of Engineering and Research, Jaipur, or Crown Institute of Management and Technology, Jaipur—institutions that follow their own admission calendars and entrance criteria.

Other Study Options in Rajasthan

If you are building a wider college list across Rajasthan, you may also consider:

• Jaipur Institute of Banking and Finance for finance-focused programmes
• Rajasthan College of Agriculture and Technology, Jaipur for agriculture and allied sciences
• College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (CVAS), Bikaner for veterinary education
• Mody University of Science and Technology, Lakshmangarh for private university alternatives
• Bhartiya Institute of Engineering and Technology, Sikar and other Sikar-based institutes for regional options
• Gurukul Institute of Engineering and Technology, Kota or MD Mission College, Kota for students preferring the Kota education hub

Keeping parallel options open is sensible—especially if your preferred UNIRAJ course has a cut-off above your Class 12 percentage.

What If Your Name Is Not on the First Merit List?

Do not panic. UNIRAJ releases multiple merit lists as seats become vacant. Students who miss verification or fee deadlines lose their allotments, and those seats move to the next list. Cut-offs in subsequent lists may be slightly lower depending on programme and category demand.

While waiting for the second merit list:

• Continue monitoring admissions.univraj.org daily
• Ensure your ABC ID is ready and documents are in order
• Review whether you can upgrade preferences if the portal allows modification during later rounds
• Explore backup admissions at other Rajasthan colleges or entrance-based programmes

Students aiming for design, management, or national-level tests may simultaneously prepare for exams such as NID DAT or CAT for postgraduate pathways later—though these are separate from UNIRAJ UG merit admissions.

Reservation, Category Certificates, and Eligibility Rules

UNIRAJ follows Rajasthan state reservation norms for OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and other applicable categories. Your merit position is evaluated within the category declared in your application. Submit valid category and income certificates issued by competent authorities in the prescribed format and validity period.

Eligibility generally requires passing Class 12 from a recognised board with minimum marks as specified for each programme. Some honours or science combinations may require subject-specific minimums—for example, mathematics in Class 12 for BSc Mathematics. Cross-check programme-specific rules on the portal before reporting for verification.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During UNIRAJ Admission 2026

• Missing the 3 July fee deadline – late payment is not usually permitted; seats are forfeited
• Skipping ABC ID registration – fee payment may not proceed without it
• Name mismatch across certificates – align Aadhaar, board marksheets, and category certificates before verification
• Visiting the wrong college – report only to the college shown in your merit allotment
• Relying on unofficial WhatsApp lists – use only admissions.univraj.org for authentic results
• Not carrying original TC and migration certificates – provisional admission may be withheld

Second and Subsequent Merit Lists: What to Expect

After the first round closes on 3 July 2026, UNIRAJ will publish updated merit lists for remaining seats. The gap between lists depends on how many candidates fail to complete formalities. Historically, popular courses at Maharani College and Commerce College fill most seats in the first list, while some programmes in affiliated colleges see movement in later rounds.

Each new list follows a similar pattern: check online, report for verification within the announced dates, and pay fees before the next deadline. Treat every round with the same urgency as the first.

Contact and Official Support Channels

For admission queries, contact the helpdesk numbers listed on uniofraj.org or visit the Central Admission Committee office at the University of Rajasthan campus in Jaipur. Individual colleges also operate admission help desks during verification days—Maharani College, Maharaja College, URC, and Commerce College publish local notices on their respective websites and notice boards.

Avoid third-party agents promising guaranteed admission. UNIRAJ admissions are merit-based and transparent through the official portal only.

UNIRAJ UG Admission 2026: Fee Payment and Reporting Tips

Admission fee amounts vary by college and programme. After document verification, the portal displays the exact fee payable for your allotted course. Payment is accepted online through the secure gateway integrated with admissions.univraj.org—keep your debit card, credit card, UPI, or net banking details ready before initiating the transaction.

On verification days, arrive early with a file folder organised in the sequence requested by the college. Carry a printed copy of your merit list allotment, application form, and fee payment receipt (once paid). Parents or guardians may accompany you, but the candidate's physical presence is usually required for signature and identity confirmation.

Students who applied under sports quota, Kashmiri migrant category, or other special provisions should carry the relevant supporting certificates issued by recognised authorities. Any claim not backed by valid documentation at verification time may be rejected, and your seat can shift to the general merit order.

Who Should Check the UNIRAJ Merit List?

Every student who submitted an online UG application for session 2026–27 through uniofraj.org should check the portal—even if you expect a lower preference to come through in later lists. Sometimes students receive allotment in a higher preference college than anticipated. Conversely, if you were expecting selection but do not find your name, note your merit position and percentage for comparison with published cut-offs, then prepare for the next round without losing time.

Outstation students should plan travel to Jaipur immediately after the list is published. Hostel applications, if applicable, are handled separately by individual colleges after admission confirmation—contact the allotted college's office for hostel forms and deadlines once your fee is deposited.

Conclusion

The UNIRAJ first merit list 2026 marks a decisive phase for thousands of UG aspirants in Rajasthan. With the list released on 29 June 2026, shortlisted candidates have a narrow window 30 June to 2 July for document verification and 3 July for fee payment to secure their seats at prestigious institutions like Maharani College, Maharaja College, University Rajasthan College, and Commerce College.

Check your result on admissions.univraj.org, prepare your documents and ABC ID today, and report to your allotted college without delay. If you miss the first list, stay ready for subsequent merit lists and keep alternative college options in view across Jaipur, Kota, Sikar, and other education centres in Rajasthan. Acting early is the single most effective strategy for turning your merit-list selection into a confirmed UNIRAJ admission for session 2026–27.
