Gujarat's admission body for undergraduate medical and dental courses, ACPUGMEC, has put out the Round 1 closing-rank document for NEET UG 2026 counselling on medadmgujarat.org. This is the first real data point of the season for anyone who filled choices for an MBBS or BDS seat in the state, because it shows exactly what rank was needed to get the last seat in each college and category. For a NEET aspirant, this list is the difference between guessing and planning — it tells you whether your rank was competitive for Round 1, and what to expect if you're waiting for Round 2. Since the data is broken down by category and by quota type, it also helps candidates from SC, ST, SEBC and EWS backgrounds gauge their real position rather than comparing themselves to the general merit trend alone.
Compare your NEET UG state merit rank against the Round 1 last-admitted rank for your specific category and college code before deciding whether to accept a seat or wait for Round 2.
What ACPUGMEC has actually released
The document is a 'mopwise' cutoff list — mop here stands for Management, Open, and Payment seat categories, the three broad quota types under which Gujarat allots MBBS and BDS seats. For every participating college, it lists the rank of the last candidate admitted in each category during Round 1.
This is not a final allotment list by itself; it is a reference sheet that lets candidates who already went through choice filling estimate where they stand before the provisional seat allotment result is announced.
- Covers both MBBS and BDS seats across the state counselling pool
- Breaks down last ranks by Open, SC, ST, SEBC (shown as SE) and EWS categories
- Includes separate lines for sub-quotas such as PwD, NRI and management seats
- Spans government, grant-in-aid (GIA) and self-financed colleges
Sample of Round 1 closing ranks by college code
College codes in Gujarat's counselling system correspond to specific institutions and are used throughout the process instead of full college names. A sample of the closing ranks reported for Round 1 government-quota seats is below; candidates should check the full PDF for their exact college code, since ranks vary widely between cities and between government and self-financed seats.
| College Code | Open | SC | ST | SEBC | EWS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMED-GQ | 116 | 21 | 37 | 80 | 39 |
| BMED-GQ | 349 | 40 | 73 | 200 | 111 |
| SMED-GQ | 486 | 68 | 101 | 273 | 130 |
| RMED-GQ | 576 | 77 | 150 | 356 | 161 |
| JMED-GQ | 714 | 83 | 160 | 357 | 173 |
| BHMED-GQ | 889 | 95 | 178 | 396 | 211 |
| ESICMED-GQ | 923 | 50 | 179 | 407 | 215 |
| SOLMED-GQ | 938 | 111 | 218 | 457 | 232 |
| AD-GQ | 3159 | 446 | 1033 | 1508 | 944 |
| JD-GQ | 3989 | 580 | 1175 | 1804 | 1108 |
The Gujarat MBBS and BDS seat pool for 2026
ACPUGMEC's counselling pool for 2026 covers 7,500 MBBS seats and 1,255 BDS seats across the state, spread over government medical colleges, grant-in-aid institutes, and self-financed private colleges.
A large seat base like this generally means multiple rounds of movement, since candidates who get lower-preference seats in Round 1 often try to upgrade in Round 2 or the mop-up round, pushing later closing ranks in the reverse direction for popular colleges.
- MBBS seats: 7,500
- BDS seats: 1,255
- Institutions include government colleges such as BJ Medical College Ahmedabad, Medical College Vadodara and SMIMER Surat
- Dental seats include Government Dental College Ahmedabad and private dental colleges
How to read your own rank against this list
Find your college code and match it to the category you are applying under — not just 'general' but your actual reservation category, since Gujarat's cutoffs differ sharply between Open, SC, ST, SEBC and EWS rows for the same college.
If your NEET UG state merit rank is numerically lower (better) than the listed closing rank for your category and college, you had a realistic chance of allotment in Round 1. If your rank is higher (weaker) than the cutoff, that particular college-category combination was out of reach this round.
Government-quota seats at well-known colleges in Ahmedabad and Vadodara close at far stronger (lower) ranks than seats in self-financed institutes, so don't assume one college's cutoff applies to another, even within the same city.
What to do next
Round 1 cutoffs are only the opening data point of the season. If you were allotted a seat, the immediate priorities are document verification and fee payment within the deadline announced separately for allotted candidates. If you were not allotted, or want to try for a better college, Round 2 choice filling is the next opportunity, and this Round 1 list is your baseline for setting realistic preferences.
Keep your documents ready regardless of where you currently stand, since verification windows in state counselling are typically short and non-negotiable.
- Download the mopwise Round 1 PDF from medadmgujarat.org and note the rank for your specific category and college code
- Keep Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets, NEET UG scorecard, and domicile/category certificates ready in original and photocopy
- If allotted, arrange the tuition fee amount for that college before the payment deadline
- If not allotted or seeking an upgrade, track the site for the Round 2 schedule and revise your choice list based on Round 1 ranks
- Watch for the separate notice on reporting and verification dates for Round 1 allotted candidates

What does the Gujarat Round 1 cutoff document actually contain?
It lists the last-admitted merit rank for MBBS and BDS seats at every participating college, broken down by category (Open, SC, ST, SEBC, EWS) and by quota type (management, open, payment).
Where can I check the Gujarat NEET UG 2026 Round 1 cutoff?
On the official ACPUGMEC counselling portal, medadmgujarat.org, under the UG medical and dental admission section.
My rank is close to the cutoff for my preferred college — what should I do?
Wait for the provisional seat allotment result. If you're not allotted your top choice, you can still revise preferences in Round 2 based on how Round 1 ranks moved.
Do government college seats close at lower ranks than private ones?
Generally yes. Government and grant-in-aid colleges in cities like Ahmedabad and Vadodara tend to close at stronger (lower) merit ranks than self-financed private colleges, though this varies by category and specific institute.
How many MBBS and BDS seats are in play in Gujarat's 2026 counselling?
The state pool for 2026 covers 7,500 MBBS seats and 1,255 BDS seats across government, grant-in-aid and self-financed colleges.
Will cutoffs change in Round 2?
Yes. As candidates who got lower-preference seats try to upgrade, some colleges' closing ranks can shift, sometimes admitting candidates with weaker ranks than Round 1 if seats are vacated, or tightening further for high-demand colleges.
What documents should I keep ready after checking the cutoff?
Class 10 and Class 12 certificates, your NEET UG scorecard, category and domicile proof, and any other document specified for verification if you are allotted a seat.
Treat this Round 1 list as a planning tool, not a final verdict — match your exact category and college code before drawing conclusions, and keep your paperwork ready either way. MedAdmit will track the Round 1 seat allotment result and the Round 2 schedule for Gujarat as they are announced.
