The inaugural JET‑2026 counseling for Rajasthan’s agricultural colleges resulted in over 750 unfilled seats, leading to a ban on 42 private institutions.
The state education department held the first round of counseling for the JET‑2026 admissions to agricultural colleges across Rajasthan. Despite the scheduled intake, more than 750 seats remained vacant after candidates completed the selection process. Officials said the shortfall reflects a mismatch between the number of seats offered and the interest of eligible students.
In response, the department announced that 42 private colleges that failed to fill their allotted seats would face a temporary prohibition on further admissions until compliance is demonstrated. The ban aims to ensure that private institutions adhere to the allocation norms and maintain the quality of agricultural education.
The authorities have urged prospective students to register for the upcoming counseling rounds and have promised to review seat allocation policies to prevent similar gaps in the future.
