If you appeared for NEET UG 2026 and applied through Gujarat's state counselling, your Round 1 result is now out. The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC) has posted both rank-wise and college-wise Round 1 allotment lists on its official portal. This round decides who gets a provisional MBBS, BDS or other undergraduate medical seat in Gujarat's government, grant-in-aid and self-financed colleges. What happens in the next ten days — fee payment and physical reporting — will determine whether you keep this seat or lose it to the next round.
Allotted candidates must pay tuition fees at a designated HDFC Bank branch by September 3, 2026 and report to their allotted college by September 5, 2026 — missing either date cancels the seat.
What was released and where to check it
ACPUGMEC has put out the Round 1 provisional seat allotment result for Gujarat NEET UG 2026 on the official counselling portal, medadmgujarat.org. Two versions of the list are available: one arranged by NEET UG merit rank, and one arranged by institute, so you can look up your allotment either through your own rank or by checking which candidates got into a specific college.
Choice filling for this round closed on August 27, 2026 at 1:00 PM, and the allotment result was declared the same day. If you participated in choice filling, you should check both PDFs to confirm your allotted college, course and category status.
Key dates you cannot miss

How the fee payment works
Tuition fee for Round 1 has to be paid only at designated HDFC Bank branches across Gujarat — the process does not accept online transfers or third-party payments. The amount you owe depends on whether you have been allotted a government college or a self-financed institution, with government seats generally being cheaper.
Once you pay, keep the bank challan safe. It is one of the mandatory documents you must produce when you go to report at the college, and colleges can refuse admission if you turn up without it.
Documents to carry while reporting
Reporting is a physical step — you need to visit the allotted college in person with your original documents plus one self-attested photocopy set. Missing even one document listed by the committee can hold up or block your admission on the spot.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and passing certificates
- School leaving or transfer certificate
- Gujarat domicile certificate
- Caste certificate for SC, ST or SEBC candidates, plus non-creamy layer certificate valid on or after April 1, 2026 for SEBC
- EWS certificate, if applicable
- Physical fitness certificate from a registered medical practitioner
- HDFC Bank fee payment challan
- Two recent passport-sized photographs
What if you skip payment, reporting, or want a better seat later
If you don't pay the fee by September 3 or don't report by September 5, the allotted seat is cancelled and pushed into the vacancy pool that feeds Round 2. This is a firm rule, and there is no separate grace period mentioned by the committee.
If you are happy with your Round 1 seat but still want a shot at a better college, you don't have to give up this seat outright — Gujarat's counselling allows an upgradation option during Round 2 registration, letting you retain your current admission while trying to move up. The detailed process for this will come in a separate Round 2 notice on the portal.
Why Round 1 matters more than later rounds
Gujarat conducts one of the largest state-level medical counselling processes in the country, and Round 1 typically carries the widest spread of government MBBS and BDS seats. As rounds progress, the number of open seats — especially in government colleges — shrinks quickly, since most candidates who get a reasonable Round 1 seat choose to stay rather than risk a fresh round. Aspirants who delay fee payment or reporting in the hope of 'seeing what else comes up' often end up with fewer good options in Round 2.
