Documents for BSTC counselling
- Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets.
- Handwritten self-declaration in the format given on the portal.
- A new passport-size photo.
- Caste certificate, if it applies to you.
- Mool niwas (domicile) certificate.
- Sub-category certificate for widow, divorced, disability, defence or ex-serviceman, if it applies.
- Allotment letter, fee receipts, and your printed application form with attested copies.
Carry originals and two self-attested photocopy sets to the college (CareerPower). Admission stays provisional until the college verifies your originals (e-Rajasthan mirror).
Choice filling: how to avoid losing a seat
The system tries your choices from the top. These tips are our advice and also reflect the rules reported by the portal mirror.
- Add many colleges. A short list can leave you with no seat.
- You can add a whole district or All Rajasthan. Every institute in that district is then included.
- Order your list by real preference, because higher choices are tried first.
- Lock only when sure: after locking you cannot edit, and the system locks it for you on the last date.
- Look up codes and seats in our BSTC college list Rajasthan before you fill.
Upward movement
Upward movement is for candidates who already hold a seat and want a college higher in their list. In 2026 applications ran 3 to 4 July and the revised list was out on 7 July. Reporting at the new college was 7 to 9 July. If you move up, your earlier seat is cancelled; if not, your earlier seat stays (e-Rajasthan mirror).
Jagran Josh says you must pay the ₹13,555 fee and report at the first-round college to be eligible. The fee was charged once per roll number (e-Rajasthan mirror).
Later rounds: who could take part
| Round | Who and how |
|---|---|
| Second counselling (10 to 13 July) | Candidates with no seat after the first round, candidates allotted but not admitted, and candidates who had not applied before. Those who paid ₹3,000 earlier did not pay again |
| Third allotment (4 August) | No new application or choice-filling window was set; the vacant seats were allotted from the existing choices |
| Special phase (7 September) | Last round for the seats still vacant; fee and reporting 7 to 16 September |
These round rules come from the e-Rajasthan mirror. It is not official, so check the VMOU notices if a rule matters for your case.
Mistakes that cost candidates a seat
- Not reporting at the college by the last date. The mirror says the admission is then cancelled.
- Uploading unclear or wrong documents. Unclear uploads are rejected and must be uploaded again.
- Giving a bank account that is not in your own name, which blocks a refund.
- Locking a short choice list.
- Joining two colleges when you have two counselling IDs. Report at only one.
- Trusting a message or agent instead of the official portal.
