In addition to tuition fees, ACPUGMEC collects a refundable security deposit of Rs 10,000 at the time of admission. This deposit is returned to you at the end of your course, provided you have no outstanding dues or disciplinary issues. Once fee payment is confirmed, your seat is locked and you are officially admitted to the college.

Why October 26, 2026 is Your Final Deadline
The stray round is the last round of state-level counselling for NEET UG 2026 in Gujarat. No further vacancy rounds or supplementary counselling will be conducted after this. If you fail to report and complete verification by October 26, 2026, your allotted seat will be automatically cancelled, and you will not be offered another opportunity to secure a seat through Gujarat state counselling.
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank

This deadline is firm and applies to all allotted candidates, regardless of circumstances. Colleges will not accept late reporting or delayed document verification after October 26. If you have been allotted a seat, treat this date as non-negotiable and plan your travel and document arrangement accordingly.
What Happens If You Miss the Reporting Deadline?
If you do not report at your allotted college by October 26, 2026, your seat will be forfeited automatically. You will not receive a second chance or an extension, and no further counselling rounds will be held. Your only remaining option would be to explore admission through other state counselling processes (if you are eligible in other states) or through private medical and dental colleges outside the state quota system.
Missing the deadline also means you forfeit any claim to the seat and cannot appeal for reinstatement. Therefore, even if you are unsure about joining a particular college, it is advisable to report and complete the admission process. You can always explore options to transfer or change colleges later through official channels, but once you lose the seat, recovery is not possible.

What to Do After October 26: Admission Closure and Next Steps
After October 26, 2026, ACPUGMEC will issue a final admission closure notice confirming the end of the 2026–27 counselling process. Any candidate who has successfully reported and paid fees will be officially admitted. Colleges will then begin the process of issuing admission confirmation letters and providing information about course commencement, hostel allocation, and other administrative matters.
If you have been admitted, watch for communications from your college regarding orientation, course start date, and any additional documentation required. If you have not been allotted a seat or missed the reporting deadline, explore alternative pathways such as private medical colleges, deemed universities, or counselling in other states if you are eligible.
