If you're a Gujarat-domicile NEET UG 2026 candidate hoping for an MBBS or BDS seat through the state quota, there's an important update on your counselling timeline. The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC), which runs Gujarat's state NEET counselling, has put out a second revised Round 1 merit list and opened the choice-filling window on its portal, medadmgujarat.org. This means the rank and category position you saw earlier may have changed, and you now have a fixed few days to enter your college and course preferences. Getting this window right matters — a missed correction or a rushed choice list can affect which college you land at in the very first round.
Before filling choices, log in to medadmgujarat.org and reconfirm your rank and category on the second revised Round 1 merit list — it may differ from what you saw earlier, and choice filling closes on August 27, 2026 at 1 PM.
What exactly changed
Gujarat's Round 1 counselling for NEET UG 2026 has gone through an unusually layered process: a provisional merit list, a first revision, and now a second revision — all before choice filling even closed once. ACPUGMEC has clarified that this second revised list is now the one live on the portal, and it is this list candidates should use to check their rank before entering preferences.
Revisions like this typically happen when the committee cross-checks registration data against uploaded documents — category certificates, domicile proof, quota claims — and corrects errors. A correction in even one field can shift a candidate's rank position or eligibility flag, which is why the committee re-released the list rather than letting candidates work off outdated numbers.
Choice filling timeline
With the revised list out, the actual preference-entry window is now active. Candidates named in the revised merit list can log in with their registered credentials and start ranking colleges and courses.
| Event | Date / Time |
|---|---|
| Round 1 choice filling (MBBS & BDS) | August 24 to August 27, 2026, until 1:00 PM |
| Display of choices filled by candidates | August 27, 2026, until 4:00 PM |
Which seats are on the table in Round 1
Round 1 of Gujarat's state counselling covers state quota seats across government medical colleges, GMERS (Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society) institutions, and self-financed medical and dental colleges in the state. Allotment in this round is decided purely by a combination of merit rank, category, and the order in which you list your choices — so the sequence you build matters as much as which colleges you pick.
Before entering preferences, it's worth pulling up the official seat matrix published on the portal. This tells you exactly how many seats are available in each college and category for this round, which helps you build a realistic list instead of guessing.
Why a candidate should not skip the recheck step
It's tempting to jump straight to choice filling, especially with a tight window, but skipping the rank recheck is risky this time. Because the list has already been revised twice, some candidates' category status or rank could look different from what they remember. Locking in preferences based on an old rank or an incorrect category assumption could lead to a mismatch between what you expected and what you actually get allotted.
Take the extra five minutes to log in, open the revised list, and confirm your exact rank and category tag before you touch the choice-filling screen.
A practical checklist before you lock choices
- Log in at medadmgujarat.org with your registered user ID and password.
- Open the second revised Round 1 merit list and note your current rank and category status.
- Read the official Round 1 choice-filling advisory in full — it lays out eligibility conditions specific to this round.
- Cross-check the seat matrix for your category and preferred colleges before ranking choices.
- Enter and save each preference in the order you actually want them, not just the order you think ranks are best in.
- Review the entire list carefully before locking it — once locked, changes may not be possible.
- Download and keep the confirmation slip after locking your choices.
What comes after choice filling
Once the choice-filling window closes on August 27 at 1 PM, the committee will display the choices filled by candidates the same day by 4 PM — a chance to see what got recorded, though this is not the seat allotment itself. The actual Round 1 seat allotment result is expected afterward, and candidates should keep checking the ACPUGMEC portal for that announcement as well as for any notice on deadline extensions.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Why has the Gujarat NEET UG 2026 Round 1 merit list been revised twice?
ACPUGMEC revises merit lists when it finds discrepancies between what candidates entered during registration and their uploaded documents — such as category or domicile proof. Each correction can shift a candidate's rank, so the committee reissues the list to keep it accurate before choice filling.
Where do I check the revised Gujarat NEET UG merit list and fill choices?
Both the revised merit list and the choice-filling portal are on the official ACPUGMEC website, medadmgujarat.org. You need your registered user ID and password to log in.
What is the last date to fill choices in Round 1?
Choice filling for MBBS and BDS courses under Gujarat's Round 1 state quota counselling closes on August 27, 2026, at 1:00 PM.
Which colleges are covered in this round?
Round 1 covers Gujarat state quota seats in government medical colleges, GMERS institutions, and self-financed medical and dental colleges. Allotment depends on merit rank, category, and the order of choices entered.
What happens after I lock my choices?
The list of choices filled by all candidates will be displayed by the committee on August 27 by 4 PM for verification purposes. The actual seat allotment result for Round 1 will be announced separately, and candidates should watch the portal for that update.
Can I still change my rank or category details at this stage?
The merit list revision already reflects the committee's verification of your documents. If you believe there is still an error, you should refer to the official Round 1 advisory on the portal for the correction process rather than assuming it will resolve automatically.
If you're on the Gujarat NEET UG 2026 state quota list, don't fill choices on autopilot — reconfirm your revised rank and category first, then build your preference list against the official seat matrix. Keep the ACPUGMEC portal bookmarked, since the Round 1 seat allotment result and any further notices will appear there next.
