Gujarat NEET UG 2026 Round 3 Seat Allotment: Key Dates & Reporting Rules

The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC) has released the Round 3 seat allotment results for NEET UG 2026 in Gujarat. Candidates who have been allotted a seat must now complete fee payment and document verification within a strict timeframe to confirm their admission. Missing the reporting deadline carries serious consequences: forfeiture of the security deposit and loss of eligibility for the final Round 4 mop-up counselling. This is a critical stage in the admission process, and every step must be completed on time.

When Was Round 3 Allotment Released and What Are the Key Dates?

ACPUGMEC released the Round 3 seat allotment result on October 10, 2026, at the official portal medadmgujarat.org. Candidates can now view rank-wise and institute-wise merit lists to confirm their allotment. The reporting period began immediately on October 10, 2026, and candidates must complete all formalities within the stipulated window.

The choice-filling deadline for Round 3 was October 5, 2026. This means all candidates had to lock in their college and course preferences before the allotment was generated. Once allotment is released, the timeline for action becomes very tight, so it is essential to act immediately upon receiving your allotment letter.

Fee Payment Rules: HDFC Bank Only, No Other Channel Accepted

ACPUGMEC has enforced a strict rule for Round 3 fee payment: the prescribed tuition fee must be paid only at HDFC Bank branches designated by the committee. No other bank, online payment gateway, or alternative channel will be accepted. This is a non-negotiable requirement, and candidates who attempt to pay through any other method will not be recognized as having completed the fee payment step.

After paying the fee at the designated HDFC Bank branch, you must collect the stamped fee payment receipt. This receipt is proof of payment and must be carried to the Help Centre during reporting. Without this receipt, your reporting will not be processed, and you risk losing your allotted seat.

• Fee payment accepted ONLY at designated HDFC Bank branches
• No online payment, other banks, or alternative channels allowed
• Collect stamped fee payment receipt from the bank
• Receipt is mandatory for reporting at Help Centre
• Keep receipt safe as proof of payment

Original Documents Only: DigiLocker and Photocopies No Longer Valid

From Round 3 onwards, ACPUGMEC has tightened document verification rules significantly. Only original documents will be accepted at the Help Centre. DigiLocker documents and colour photocopies are no longer valid, and candidates relying on these will risk losing their allotted seat. This is a major change from earlier rounds, so ensure you have all original documents in hand before reporting.

The committee has made it clear that this rule will be strictly enforced. There are no exceptions or alternative arrangements. If you do not have an original document, you must obtain it before your reporting date. Delays in obtaining documents cannot be used as a reason to extend the reporting deadline.

• Only ORIGINAL documents accepted from Round 3 onwards
• DigiLocker documents are NOT valid
• Colour photocopies are NOT valid
• Candidates without originals risk losing their seat
• No exceptions or alternative arrangements allowed

Complete List of Documents Required for Reporting

When you report at the assigned Help Centre, you must carry all the following original documents. The committee will verify each document, and any missing or invalid document may result in your reporting being rejected. Plan ahead and gather all documents well before your reporting date to avoid last-minute stress.

For candidates from Gujarat schools, Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets are mandatory. Proof of Indian citizenship and Gujarat domicile is also required. If you belong to a reserved category (Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Class, Economically Weaker Section), bring the relevant certificate. NRI candidates must carry passport copies, and defence wards must bring service records.

• ACPUGMEC Round 3 allotment letter
• NEET UG 2026 scorecard and admit card
• Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets (from Gujarat schools)
• Birth certificate (proof of date of birth)
• Proof of Indian citizenship and Gujarat domicile
• Caste, SEBC (Other Backward Class), or EWS (Economically Weaker Section) certificate, if applicable

What Happens If You Miss the Reporting Deadline?

ACPUGMEC has issued a strict warning: candidates who miss the reporting deadline will face two serious penalties. First, the refundable security deposit of Rs 10,000 will be forfeited and not returned. Second, and more importantly, you will lose eligibility for Round 4 counselling, which is the final mop-up round where remaining vacant seats are filled.

Once the reporting window closes, the committee will not reverse or extend the deadline under any circumstances. This means if you miss the deadline, you lose not only your current allotted seat but also your chance to participate in the final round. There is no appeal or exception process. Therefore, it is absolutely critical to complete both fee payment and reporting within the stipulated timeframe.

• Refundable security deposit of Rs 10,000 will be forfeited
• Loss of eligibility for Round 4 mop-up counselling
• No extensions or reversals allowed by the committee
• Deadline is final and non-negotiable
• Missing the deadline means losing both current seat and Round 4 opportunity

Who Must Report in Round 3 and Who Can Skip It?

All candidates who have been allotted a seat in Round 3 must report, including those who were upgraded from their Round 1 or Round 2 allotment. If you received a better college or course in Round 3 compared to an earlier round, you must complete fresh document verification and reporting for the new allotment.

However, if you are satisfied with your Round 1 or Round 2 allotment and were not upgraded in Round 3, you do not need to re-report. Your earlier reporting remains valid. Only candidates with a new or upgraded allotment in Round 3 are required to go through the reporting process again.

• All Round 3 allotted candidates must report
• Candidates upgraded from Round 1 or Round 2 must report for new allotment
• Candidates satisfied with earlier allotment need not re-report
• Fresh document verification required for upgraded allotments
• Earlier reporting remains valid if not upgraded

Why Round 3 Is the Final Online Allotment and What Comes Next

Round 3 is the last choice-based allotment round conducted by ACPUGMEC. After this round, any seats that remain vacant will move to the state mop-up counselling, which operates under different rules and may have a different process. This means Round 3 is your last opportunity to secure a seat through the main counselling process.

Candidates who are not allotted in Round 3 should monitor medadmgujarat.org closely for the Round 4 mop-up counselling notification. The schedule for Round 4 is expected to be announced shortly. Non-allotted candidates will have another chance to participate in mop-up, but the number of available seats will be limited to only those that remain after all three main rounds.

• Round 3 is the final online choice-based allotment
• Vacant seats after Round 3 move to state mop-up counselling
• Round 4 mop-up schedule expected to be announced soon
• Non-allotted candidates should monitor medadmgujarat.org
• Mop-up seats are limited to remaining vacancies only
