Gujarat NEET UG Round 2 Counselling 2026: Key Dates & Registration Guide

The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC), Government of Gujarat, has announced the Round 2 counselling schedule for NEET UG 2026. This round covers 85 percent of state quota seats across MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BHMS programmes. Registration and PIN purchase begin on August 31, 2026 and close on September 4, 2026. If you did not secure a seat in Round 1 or wish to upgrade your allocation, Round 2 is your next major opportunity to enter a medical or dental college in Gujarat.

What is Round 2 counselling and who should apply?

Round 2 is the second phase of seat allocation in Gujarat's NEET UG counselling process. It is open to all candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026 and are domiciled in Gujarat. You are eligible if you did not receive a seat in Round 1, or if you were allotted a seat but chose not to report to the college. Candidates who already reported to a college in Round 1 and now wish to move to a different or better college can also participate as upgrade seekers.

This round allocates 85 percent of state quota seats, meaning the vast majority of available positions in government and aided medical and dental colleges in Gujarat. Round 2 is typically the last major window for fresh registration; subsequent mop-up and stray vacancy rounds usually admit only candidates already registered in earlier rounds.

Important dates for Round 2 registration and document verification

The counselling process follows a strict timeline. Mark these dates on your calendar to avoid missing deadlines.

How to register: step-by-step process

Registration is fully online and must be completed in a specific order. First, you purchase the PIN; then you use it to log in and fill your application. Ensure you have a stable, high-speed internet connection before you begin, especially during payment.

• Visit medadmgujarat.org and locate the Round 2 online registration link.
• Purchase the online PIN using net banking, debit card, credit card or UPI.
• Log in to the registration portal using your PIN and NEET UG 2026 credentials (roll number and password).
• Fill in all personal, academic, category and contact details accurately.
• Upload scanned copies of your documents in the prescribed format and file size.
• Submit the completed form and save your confirmation slip for future reference.

PIN cost breakdown and payment options

The online PIN costs Rs 11,000 in total. This comprises two parts: a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit. The registration fee is retained by the admission committee regardless of whether you are allotted a seat. The security deposit is returned to you after you complete the admission process and report to your allotted college, or if you do not participate further in counselling.

• Non-refundable registration fee: Rs 1,000
• Refundable security deposit: Rs 10,000
• Total PIN cost: Rs 11,000
• Payment methods: net banking, debit card, credit card, UPI

Documents you must carry to the help centre

After online registration, you must visit an assigned help centre for document verification. Bring original documents and photocopies of the following. Incomplete or missing documents may delay your verification or make you ineligible for seat allotment.

• NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
• Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets (from a Gujarat board school)
• Category certificate and non-creamy layer certificate (if applicable)
• Physical fitness certificate in the prescribed format
• Proof of birth (birth certificate or equivalent)
• Proof of Indian citizenship
• Medical Board assessment slip (for candidates with disabilities)

What happens after registration closes?

After the registration and document verification windows close, ACPUGMEC will release the seat matrix (showing how many seats are available in each course and college) and announce the choice-filling window. You will then rank your preferred colleges and courses in order of preference. Based on your NEET rank, category, and choices, the committee will generate a provisional allotment list. You must report to your allotted college within the specified deadline to confirm your admission. Detailed timings for these steps will be published on medadmgujarat.org, so check the portal regularly.

Why Round 2 matters for your MBBS or BDS admission

Round 2 is your last realistic chance to secure a state quota seat in Gujarat through the main counselling process. If you miss this window, you may only be considered in mop-up or stray vacancy rounds, which typically have very few seats and are open only to candidates already registered. Treating Round 2 as your final opportunity—and preparing your documents and payment in advance—significantly improves your chances of a smooth admission.
