Gujarat's medical admission authority, ACPUGMEC, has put out an updated Round 1 merit list for NEET UG 2026 counselling, replacing the provisional list it released a few days earlier. This matters because the revised list — not the first draft — is what will actually decide seat allotment when choice filling for MBBS and BDS seats begins. Anyone who registered for Gujarat's state counselling should treat this update as the point at which their rank and category status become final for Round 1, unless something in it looks wrong. Given that corrections have already been processed, further changes are unlikely, so this is effectively the last checkpoint before allotment decisions start.
Check your name, category and rank in the revised Gujarat merit list immediately — this is the list that determines your Round 1 seat allotment, and any error must be flagged at your help centre without delay.
What exactly was released, and when
The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC), which runs Gujarat's state-level medical and dental counselling, published a revised provisional merit list on its portal medadmgujarat.org on 20 August 2026 at 4:50 PM.
This revised list follows the original provisional merit list that had been released a few days earlier. Between the two releases, candidates were given a formal window to flag errors — in their rank, category, or personal details — and those corrections have now been incorporated into this updated version.
The correction window that led to this update
Candidates who spotted discrepancies in the first list were able to raise objections in person at their assigned help centres between 17 and 19 August 2026, during a fixed window of 10 AM to 4 PM each day.
This kind of correction cycle is standard in state counselling: it exists precisely so that a candidate's category certificate, roll number match, or eligibility marking gets fixed before seats are actually offered, rather than after allotment when reversing a mistake is much harder.
Who is covered in this list
The revised list applies to candidates seeking MBBS and BDS seats through Gujarat's state counselling process, and covers everyone who registered and completed document verification.
Separate downloadable lists are provided category-wise, so candidates should pick the file that matches their own reservation category rather than searching a combined list.
- General category
- Scheduled Caste (SC)
- Scheduled Tribe (ST)
- Socially and Educationally Backward Class (SEBC)
- Economically Weaker Section (EWS)
- NHL local quota (specific to certain Ahmedabad-linked colleges)
- SMC local quota (specific to certain Surat-linked colleges)
- A separate 'Not Eligible' list with reasons stated for each excluded candidate
What is still pending
Two categories of candidates will need to wait a little longer. The merit list for Persons with Disability (PwD) candidates has not been released yet, since document and disability verification for this group is still ongoing. Similarly, verification for NRI quota applicants is still in process and has not yet been reflected in a final list.
If you fall into either of these groups, your name may not appear in the category lists released so far — that does not necessarily mean you have been excluded from counselling, only that your verification is taking a separate, slightly longer track.
Key dates so far
Here is the sequence of events in Gujarat's Round 1 process as officially recorded to date.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Provisional merit list released | 16 August 2026 |
| Correction window for objections | 17–19 August 2026 |
| Revised MCC-aligned Gujarat counselling schedule released | 19 August 2026 |
| Revised merit list released | 20 August 2026, 4:50 PM |
| Choice filling and seat allotment | To be announced |
What a candidate should do right now
With the revised list out, the priority shifts from waiting to verifying. A wrong category tag or a misprinted roll number in the merit list can directly affect which seats you are shown during choice filling, so this step deserves careful attention rather than a quick glance.
- Go to medadmgujarat.org, open the Undergraduate Admission section, and download the category-wise PDF that matches your reservation status
- Locate your NEET UG roll number and confirm your listed rank and category are correct
- If you are marked 'Not Eligible', read the stated reason on the portal carefully before assuming it is an error
- Report any mismatch to your allotted help centre as soon as possible — do not wait for choice filling to start
- Start shortlisting Gujarat MBBS and BDS colleges you would want to choose, based on your rank range and category
- Keep your original documents and the counselling fee ready so you are not scrambling once choice filling opens
- Check medadmgujarat.org daily for the choice filling schedule and the separate PwD merit list

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Is the revised merit list the final list for Round 1 allotment?
Yes, this revised list — released on 20 August 2026 — is the version ACPUGMEC will use as the basis for Round 1 choice filling and seat allotment, since it already includes corrections raised during the objection window.
I don't see my name in any category list — what should I do?
First check if you fall under PwD or NRI quota, since those verification processes are still ongoing and separate lists for them have not been released yet. If you don't belong to either group, check the 'Not Eligible' list, which states specific reasons for exclusion.
Do I need to log in to check my rank?
No. The category-wise merit list PDFs on medadmgujarat.org can be searched by NEET UG roll number without any login.
Can I still raise an objection about my rank or category now?
The formal correction window was 17–19 August 2026 and has closed. If you notice a genuine error in the revised list, contact your assigned help centre immediately, as further changes at this stage would be exceptional rather than routine.
When will choice filling for Gujarat MBBS/BDS seats begin?
The schedule for choice filling and seat allotment has not been announced yet. Candidates should keep checking medadmgujarat.org for updates rather than relying on unofficial estimates.
Does this list apply only to state quota seats?
This merit list is for seats filled through Gujarat's own counselling body, ACPUGMEC, covering MBBS and BDS seats under state quota and local college quotas. All-India quota seats are handled separately through the central counselling process.
The revised list is essentially the scoreboard candidates will play from during Round 1 choice filling, so a quiet ten minutes spent verifying your details now is worth far more than any last-minute scramble later. Keep an eye on medadmgujarat.org for the choice filling schedule and the pending PwD merit list, both of which are expected in the coming days.
