  • Gujarat NEET UG 2026: Round 2 registration closes 4 September

    Gujarat has opened Round 2 registration for MBBS and BDS admissions, and it is open only to candidates who did not register in Round 1. Online registration runs from 1 September to 4 September 2026, till 4:00 PM. The PIN must be bought by 12:00 noon on 4 September, and document verification at a help centre runs from 2 September to 12:00 noon on 5 September.

    If you already registered in Round 1, this window is not for you. Your Round 1 registration carries forward, and the Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses will use it for the second round.

    Round 2 dates

    • Online PIN purchase: 1 September to 4 September 2026, till 12:00 noon
    • Online registration: 1 September to 4 September 2026, till 4:00 PM
    • Help centre verification and submission of documents: 2 September to 5 September 2026, till 12:00 noon

    Help centres work Monday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon. They are shut on Sundays and public holidays, which matters because 5 September is the last morning and there is no slack behind it.

    What the PIN costs

    The PIN is bought online at the committee's website and costs ₹11,000 in one payment: ₹1,000 as a non-refundable fee and ₹10,000 as a refundable security deposit.

    There is a useful exception. If you bought the ₹11,000 PIN in Round 1 but never completed registration, or registered but never turned up at a help centre for verification, you do not need to buy a new PIN. You only need to complete the help centre verification and submit your documents.

    After registering, book the help centre appointment yourself. You choose the date, time and centre while printing your registration receipt, and you carry self-attested copies of your documents to it.

    Who can apply

    You need to have passed Class 12 in the science stream, group B or AB, from a school in Gujarat affiliated to the Gujarat Board, CBSE, CISCE, Cambridge or the National Institute of Open Schooling, and to have qualified NEET UG 2026 on the All India Overall Rank. The admission rules of the Health and Family Welfare Department and of the relevant commission or council apply on top of that.

    Two categories with extra steps

    Local quota. Candidates applying for local quota seats at Smt. N.H.L. Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad or Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education and Research need a certificate showing they are a resident of Ahmedabad or Surat. It has to come from the Dean of that institution, so contact the college directly, and do it alongside the online registration rather than after it.

    NRI candidates. Document verification happens only at the ACPUGMEC office at GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar, not at a regular help centre. You also submit a demand draft of ₹10,000, non-refundable, in favour of “ACPUGMEC” and payable at Gandhinagar, as a processing fee at the time of verification.

    The committee has also restated the position on OCI card holders. Following the Supreme Court judgment of 3 February 2023 in Writ Petition (C) No. 891 of 2021, OCI card holders are eligible for the NRI, management and government quotas. Under Gujarat's own rules, though, a candidate seeking a government or management quota seat must have done Class 10 and Class 12 at schools in Gujarat and must either be born in Gujarat or hold Gujarat domicile.

    Candidates with disabilities. Book the online appointment during registration to appear before the Medical Board, and carry your disability certificate to the designated civil hospital for assessment.

    What to do now

    • Buy the PIN early. The committee itself advises using a broadband connection, because failed transactions are common at the deadline.
    • Register by 4:00 PM on 4 September, then book your help centre slot immediately.
    • Do not leave verification to 5 September. Centres close at noon that day.
    • If you paid for a PIN in Round 1 and stalled, go straight to a help centre. You do not need to pay again.

    Before you rank colleges, it helps to know where a rank like yours has landed before. We track Gujarat closing ranks by college and category, our Gujarat counselling guide follows the rounds, and you can test a rank on our college predictor.

  • Gujarat NEET UG 2026 round 1 allotment: 7,459 seats allotted, reporting closes 5 September

    The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses declared the first round of MBBS and BDS seat allotment for Gujarat on 27 August 2026. 7,459 candidates were allotted a seat. Reporting at a help centre opened at 10:00 am on 29 August and closes at 12:00 noon on 5 September.

    The three deadlines, and they are not the same day

    Online payment of tuition fee runs until 3:30 pm on 3 September. Cash or demand draft at a designated HDFC Bank branch is open from 10:30 am on 29 August, also until 3:30 pm on 3 September, and only during banking hours on working days. Reporting with original documents at your help centre runs from 10:00 am on 29 August to 12:00 noon on 5 September.

    The fee window shuts two days before the reporting window. Paying on 3 September and reporting on 5 September is allowed. Reporting on 5 September without having paid by 3 September is not.

    Help centres work Monday to Friday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. They are shut on Sundays and public holidays. You pick your help centre and your appointment date while printing the allotment letter, so print it early rather than on the last working morning.

    Candidates on an NRI seat have a separate sequence. A refundable deposit of ₹5 lakh is due by 3:30 pm on 3 September, and the institute fee in US dollars or an equivalent currency is due at the allotted college by 12:00 noon on 5 September. Miss the second one and the admission stands cancelled. The ₹5 lakh comes back after the full admission process ends.

    What was allotted

    8,402 seats went into the round and 7,459 were taken, leaving 943 vacant. Of the seats allotted, 6,398 are MBBS and 1,061 are BDS.

    Quota Offered Allotted Vacant
    Government quota, MBBS 5,753 5,729 24
    Government quota, BDS 984 973 11
    Management, MBBS and BDS 517 517 0
    Local quota (NHL and SMIMER) 138 138 0
    NRI, MBBS and BDS 1,010 102 908

    Every management seat and every local-quota seat went. Government-quota seats are 35 short of full. The vacancy is almost entirely NRI: 908 of the 1,010 NRI seats found no taker, which is nine in every ten.

    Those NRI seats do not stay empty. The official seat matrix says vacant NRI seats are filled as management quota seats at management quota fees, and it adds that the GMERS colleges and Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhuj hold no management seats of their own, so their unfilled NRI seats convert the same way. Expect a large part of those 908 back in the round 2 pool, priced as management seats.

    Closing ranks at the government colleges

    These are NEET All India Ranks, taken from the last candidate allotted in each category on a government-quota seat.

    College Open EWS SEBC SC ST
    B. J. Medical College, Ahmedabad 3,318 7,335 9,138 24,057 1,19,966
    Government Medical College, Vadodara 10,954 19,101 21,859 43,642 1,70,014
    Government Medical College, Surat 15,785 23,428 29,112 63,186 2,01,964
    P. D. U. Medical College, Rajkot 19,024 26,518 36,869 67,684 2,50,945
    M. P. Shah Government Medical College, Jamnagar 23,992 27,971 37,155 73,810 2,58,938
    Government Medical College, Bhavnagar 29,992 32,501 41,170 84,516 2,71,176
    ESIC Medical College, Naroda, Ahmedabad 31,311 32,976 42,010 49,287 2,71,205

    Below that tier, the open-category government-quota seat closed at 31,708 at GMERS Sola, 39,961 at GMERS Gandhinagar and 41,285 at GMERS Gotri. The last GMERS college to close was Godhra at 78,940. Among the municipal colleges, NHL Ahmedabad closed at 80,168 and SMIMER Surat at 1,05,468 on their state seats, and lower on their local quota, 68,865 and 93,755.

    Private colleges on government-quota seats ran from 95,120 at GCS Ahmedabad to 2,07,840 at Swaminarayan Institute of Medical Sciences, which was the last open-category government-quota MBBS seat in the state.

    On the dental side, Government Dental College Ahmedabad closed at 1,02,415 in the open category and Jamnagar at 1,29,491. The last BDS government-quota open seat went at 3,57,972.

    Ranks moved a long way from last year

    The median open-category government-quota MBBS allotment this round sits at rank 74,117. Last year in round 1 it was 55,952. The last such seat went at 2,07,840 against 1,47,276 a year ago.

    Category 2025 median 2026 median 2025 last 2026 last
    Open 55,952 74,117 1,47,276 2,07,840
    EWS 64,111 79,931 1,53,945 2,24,410
    SEBC 72,229 84,312 1,74,795 2,67,663
    SC 1,26,652 1,39,592 1,97,732 2,40,831
    ST 4,10,975 4,03,324 5,58,485 5,80,522

    Part of that is supply. Gujarat allotted 5,729 government-quota MBBS seats in round 1 this year against 5,155 last year, 574 more. ST is the one category that did not follow the pattern, with a median slightly ahead of last year.

    The last-merit list is not a rank list

    ACPUGMEC publishes a closing table called Last Merit Round-01, and it is the document most candidates open first. It is quoted in Gujarat merit numbers, not NEET ranks. It shows 116 as the open-category closing figure for B. J. Medical College. That is merit number 116. The NEET rank of the same candidate is 3,318.

    If you compare your NEET rank against the last-merit table you will conclude you have a seat you do not have. The two allotment lists, merit-wise and institute-wise, carry a column headed AIQ Rank, and that is your NEET All India Rank. Use those.

    Round 1 is the round you can walk away from

    Gujarat’s four-round instructions set out something worth knowing before 5 September. After round 1, candidates in all three positions, not allotted, allotted and not reported, and allotted and reported, carry into round 2 on their existing registration, with a free exit and no forfeit of the security deposit.

    Round 2 works differently. A candidate allotted in round 2 who then does not pay the fee and submit originals loses the refundable security deposit, and has to register again for round 3 with a fresh non-refundable PIN fee and a fresh deposit. Anyone who confirms a round 2 admission properly stays eligible for round 3. A candidate who upgrades in round 2 has no claim left on the round 1 seat they had confirmed.

    So the cost of declining a round 1 seat is nothing. The cost of declining a round 2 seat is your deposit and a fresh registration. Round 3 is what used to be called the mop-up round.

    Round 2 dates

    State counselling round 2 runs from 7 September to 11 September. The last date of joining is 18 September, and state authorities verify joined-candidate data on 19 September. If you registered in round 1 and had your documents verified at a help centre, you do not register again for round 2. The All India Quota round 2 opens earlier, on 3 September, which matters if you are in both tracks. We covered that schedule separately.

    What to do now

    Log in to the ACPUGMEC portal, download the allotment letter and the fee challan, and book your help centre appointment while printing the letter. Pay the tuition fee online or at a designated HDFC branch, then collect two copies of the receipt and two copies of the challan from the portal.

    Check two certificate dates before you travel, because they turn people away at the counter. For SEBC non-creamy-layer and for EWS, a certificate in Gujarati must be issued on or after 1 April 2024, and a certificate in English must be issued on or after 1 April 2026. Caste, EWS and domicile certificates must come from Gujarat authorities only. Candidates born outside Gujarat need a domicile certificate from a Mamlatdar, Executive Magistrate or Commissioner of Police in Gujarat. Carry an 11 x 15 inch envelope with your details written on it, as the committee asks.

    Then decide, on the closing ranks above, whether the college you have is one you would keep if round 2 offers nothing better.

    You can see Gujarat’s closing ranks by college and category on our Gujarat NEET cutoffs page.

  • Gujarat opens NEET UG 2026 round 1 choice filling on 24 August, publishes 7,500-seat matrix

    The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Education Courses has opened the first round of online choice filling for MBBS and BDS, and published the round 1 seat matrix for medical and dental courses.

    The schedule

    Activity From To
    Round 1 choice filling 24.08.2026 27.08.2026, 1.00 pm
    Display of choices filled by candidates 27.08.2026, up to 4.00 pm

    It is open to every candidate on the ACPUGMEC merit list, and covers government, management and NRI seats across government, grant-in-aid and self-financed colleges.

    What the seat matrix shows

    Gujarat’s MBBS intake for 2026-27 is 7,500 seats, split as:

    Quota Seats
    Government quota (state counselling) 5,891
    NRI 862
    Management 430
    All India Quota (filled by MCC) 317

    Within the 5,891 government-quota seats the category split is 2,415 open, 1,591 SEBC, 884 ST, 589 EWS and 412 SC.

    The matrix is published per college with an intake figure and the full quota and category breakdown, which is more detail than most states give at this stage. Two colleges appear as two rows each: Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College (182 + 68) and SMIMER Surat (180 + 70), because both carry a separate local-quota stream on top of their general intake. Each still totals 250.

    One number worth checking before you rank

    NRI seats at 862 are twice the management count of 430. If an NRI seat is part of your plan, Gujarat has an unusually large share of them, and they sit in the same choice-filling exercise rather than a separate process.

    The committee also asks candidates to visit medadmgujarat.org frequently, since admission information is updated there.

    Our Gujarat cutoff pages carry closing ranks by college, category and seat type, and the predictor shows which of those 7,500 seats your rank actually reaches before you commit to an order.

  • Gujarat NEET UG 2026: document verification at help centres from 3 August; NRI process out

    By Sahil Kakad, NEET Counselling Mentor, neet2seat.com

    Gujarat’s admission committee (ACPUGMEC) has opened document verification for first-year MBBS and BDS admissions for 2026-27. Verification at help centres runs from 3 August to 13 August 2026, till 4 pm, and needs a prior appointment. Online registration is still open and closes on 12 August. If you have registered on the Gujarat counselling portal, this is the next step you have to complete.

    Key dates

    • Online PIN purchase: 31 July to 12 August 2026, till 12:00 noon.
    • Online registration: 31 July to 12 August 2026, till 4:00 pm.
    • Document verification at help centre: 3 August to 13 August 2026, till 4:00 pm.

    How document verification works

    Finish your online registration first. After that, you have to book a prior appointment for verification. When you print your registration slip, you can pick the date and the help centre yourself. At the centre you must show the original documents and hand in a set of self-attested photocopies.

    Help centre working hours: Monday to Friday, 10 am to 4 pm; Saturday, 10 am to 12 noon. Help centres stay closed on Sundays and public holidays. The full list of help centres is on the committee website, www.medadmgujarat.org.

    What the PIN costs

    The registration PIN is bought online for a total of ₹11,000: ₹1,000 (non-refundable) plus a ₹10,000 refundable security deposit. Keep this in mind before you start, and check your likely seat chances against the Gujarat MBBS closing ranks and Gujarat BDS closing ranks so you register with a clear picture.

    Local quota candidates: an extra step with its own deadline

    If you want a local quota seat at Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, or SMIMER, Surat, there is a separate step at the college itself, on top of the ACPUGMEC registration. Both colleges have released their local-quota forms for 2026-27.

    NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad: collect the local-quota certificate from the college between 31 July and 12 August 2026, up to 5 pm (the same window as PIN distribution). The counter runs Monday to Friday, 11 am to 2 pm and 2:30 pm to 5 pm, and Saturday 11 am to 1:30 pm; it stays closed on Sundays and public holidays. The form and the list of documents are on the college website, nhlmmc.edu.in.

    SMIMER, Surat: to qualify you must have passed Class 10, 11 and 12 from a school within Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) or SUDA limits, and be a resident within SMC limits for at least the last three years. Apply on the prescribed form at the Dean’s office, SMIMER, within the stated window. Keep these proofs ready: a certificate from your school principal that the school is within SMC/SUDA limits, SMC residential property-tax bills of the parents, grandparents or the candidate for the last three years (2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26), the NEET 2026 qualifying percentile marksheet, and Aadhaar copies. The form counter runs 11 am to 2 pm and 3 pm to 5 pm on working days.

    NRI candidates: read this carefully

    The committee has also put out updated instructions for NRI-category candidates. The process is different from the general one on two points:

    • Where you verify: NRI document verification and submission is done only at the ACPUGMEC office, GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar. Not at the regular help centres.
    • Processing fee: after the online application, you have to submit a demand draft of ₹10,000 (non-refundable) in favour of “ACPUGMEC”, payable at Gandhinagar, at the time of document verification. The application will not be considered for admission if this demand draft is not submitted.

    Who can apply under the NRI quota: the candidate, or the parents (or legal guardian in their absence), must be a Non-Resident Indian. The candidate must have qualified in NEET-UG 2026 and completed 17 years of age on or before 31 December of the admission year. A provisional eligibility certificate has to be obtained from the concerned university within one month of admission. NRI-seat admission is made on a merit list based on the NEET-UG 2026 score.

    OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card holders are eligible for NRI, management and government quota, following the Supreme Court order of 3 February 2023. But for government and management quota seats, current Gujarat rules also require Class 10 and Class 12 to have been done at schools in Gujarat, and the candidate to be born in Gujarat or hold a Gujarat domicile.

    All NRI documents must be in English. If a document is in another language, get it translated by a competent authority and submit the notarised copy of both the original and the translation. Passport copies must be notarised colour photocopies of every page, including blank pages, with page numbers clearly legible. For queries, the committee lists a helpline: 9099074536, and the email medadmgujarat.nri@gmail.com for NRI candidates only.

    What to do now

    • Complete online registration before 12 August (4 pm) if you have not already.
    • Book your verification appointment while printing the registration slip, and pick a date well before 13 August.
    • Carry originals plus one set of self-attested photocopies; SEBC/SC/ST candidates need two copies of the school leaving and caste certificates.
    • NRI candidates: keep the ₹10,000 demand draft ready and go to the Gandhinagar office, not a help centre.
    • Not sure which colleges your rank can reach in Gujarat? Run the college predictor before you lock your choices.
