The registration window for Round 2 is narrow and non-extendable. Online PIN purchase closes at 2 PM on November 15, while the registration deadline is 5 PM the same day. This means you have only a few days to complete the online application process. Document verification and photocopies submission must occur on November 16 between 10 AM and 4 PM at designated help centres.
The committee has made it clear that completing online registration alone is insufficient. You must physically visit a help centre with your original certificates and registration slip to finalize your candidacy. Help centres operate from 10 AM to 4 PM on weekdays and 10 AM to 12 noon on Saturdays; they remain closed on Sundays and government holidays. Plan your document verification appointment in advance by selecting your preferred date, time, and centre while printing your registration slip.

- Online registration: November 12–15, 2026 (by 5 PM on the 15th)
- Document verification and photocopies submission: November 16, 2026 (10 AM–4 PM)
Registration Fees and Payment Structure
The total registration fee is Rs 28,000, comprising two components: a non-refundable registration fee of Rs 3,000 and a refundable security deposit of Rs 25,000. You must pay this amount online to purchase your PIN through the official admission portal. The refundable portion will be returned to you after the admission process is complete, provided you comply with all procedural requirements.
For candidates applying under the NRI quota, an additional requirement applies. After completing online registration, NRI candidates must submit a demand draft of Rs 25,000 as a non-refundable processing fee in the name of 'ACPUGMEC', payable at Gandhinagar. This demand draft must be submitted at the ACPPGMEC office at GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar, and NRI candidates must also complete their document verification exclusively at this office rather than at other help centres.

- Refundable security deposit: Rs 25,000
- Total PIN purchase cost: Rs 28,000
- NRI additional processing fee: Rs 25,000 (non-refundable, via demand draft)

You are eligible to register in Round 2 if you have qualified the NEET-PG 2026 examination and meet the eligibility criteria set by the respective medical council and Gujarat's admission rules. The round is open to candidates who did not register during Round 1, as well as those who registered but did not complete document verification or other formalities.
Importantly, if you purchased the online PIN during Round 1 (paying Rs 28,000) but did not complete online registration or document verification, you do not need to purchase another PIN. You can proceed directly to document verification at a designated help centre. This provision allows candidates who faced delays or obstacles in Round 1 to continue without additional financial burden. However, if you did not register at all in Round 1, you must purchase a fresh PIN in Round 2.
- Must have qualified NEET-PG 2026
- Must meet eligibility criteria of the medical council and Gujarat admission rules
- Open to candidates who did not register in Round 1
- Open to candidates who registered in Round 1 but did not complete verification
- If you purchased a PIN in Round 1 but did not complete registration, you do not need to repurchase

The committee has specified a comprehensive list of documents required for verification. These include your qualifying examination certificate, NEET-PG 2026 mark sheet, proof of birth place and birth date, and category-specific certificates if applicable (SC, ST, SEBC, EWS, or PwD). Additionally, you must provide a certificate of physical fitness and any other documents relevant to your candidacy, such as proof of local residency in Ahmedabad or Surat if applicable.
If you belong to a reserved category or have special status (such as being a child of defence personnel, IAS/IPS/IRS officer, or government employee), bring the corresponding certificate. Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) candidates must provide their OCI certificate. Students who passed their 10th and 12th from boards outside Gujarat but within the Union Territories of Daman & Diu or Dadra & Nagar Haveli, or from Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya outside Gujarat, must bring relevant board certificates. Organize all documents in advance to avoid delays during verification.

The Six-Step Admission Process After Registration
After you complete online registration and document verification, the admission process follows a structured six-step pathway. First, ACPPGMEC will prepare and publish a merit list based on your NEET-PG score and other qualifying criteria. You must verify that your merit number and category are correctly reflected in this list. Second, online choice filling will be initiated, allowing you to rank your preferred colleges and specialities (MD, MS, or Diploma courses) in order of preference.
Third, after the choice-filling period closes, the committee will process seat allotment using a merit-based algorithm and publish the results on the official portal. You can log in with your user ID to check your allotment status. Fourth, you must pay the prescribed tuition fees through cash, demand draft, or online payment at designated Axis Bank branches within the specified deadline. Fifth, you will report to your allotted college and submit original documents to confirm your admission. The notice does not yet specify the exact dates for choice filling, allotment, or reporting for Round 2, so monitor the official website for these announcements.
- Step 1: Online registration and document upload (completed by November 16)
- Step 2: Document verification to confirm registration (November 16)
- Step 3: Merit list preparation and publication
- Step 4: Online choice filling and seat allotment
