The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC) has released the revised provisional merit list for Gujarat NEET UG Round 2 counselling on its official portal. The list covers MBBS and BDS seats under the state quota across all reserved and unreserved categories. Importantly, 50 additional MBBS seats have been added at Ananya College of Medicine and Research in Kalol, Gandhinagar, expanding the pool of available positions for this round. If you are a shortlisted candidate in Gujarat, you now have a narrow window to review your eligibility, fill your college and course preferences, and lock them before the deadline passes.
Download your category-specific merit list from medadmgujarat.org, verify your details, and lock your final college choices by September 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM—missing this deadline will lock you out of Round 2 seat allotment.
What the Revised Merit List Includes
The revised merit list published by ACPUGMEC covers all MBBS and BDS seats available under Gujarat's state quota for Round 2. The committee has prepared separate merit lists for each category: General, Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Socially and Educationally Backward Class (SEBC), and Economically Weaker Section (EWS).
In addition to category-wise lists, the portal also hosts separate PDFs for Non-Resident Indian (NRI) candidates, Persons with Disability (PWD) sub-categories, and local quota lists for the National Health List (NHL) and State Medical Commission (SMC). A dedicated list of ineligible candidates with stated reasons has also been uploaded, allowing rejected applicants to understand why they were not shortlisted.
50 New MBBS Seats: What Changed in Round 2
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has approved an increase of 50 MBBS seats at Ananya College of Medicine and Research, Kalol, Gandhinagar. These additional seats will be allocated during Round 2 once the Letter of Permission is formally received by ACPUGMEC. This expansion directly benefits Round 2 candidates by widening the range of colleges and positions available during choice filling.
Beyond the new seats, two other significant changes affect Round 2. First, only original documents will now be accepted during document verification at Help Centres; DigiLocker documents and photocopies are no longer valid. Second, any vacant seats in reserved categories will be transferred to the unreserved (General) category, and vacant NRI quota seats will be converted to Management quota seats with their respective fee structures. These policy shifts may alter your college options depending on your category and merit rank.
Critical Deadlines: Choice Locking and Reporting
The choice filling window for Round 2 opened on September 7, 2026, and the revised merit list was released on September 10, 2026. The most urgent deadline is September 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM, by which all shortlisted candidates must complete their choice filling and lock their preferences. After locking, you will have until 12:00 Noon on the same day to view your filled choices on the portal.
Following choice locking, the next phase involves fee payment and physical reporting. Online tuition fee payment will be open from September 11 to September 15, 2026, until 3:30 PM. Physical reporting at designated Help Centres must be completed by September 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM. Classes are scheduled to commence on September 15, 2026, so timely reporting is essential to avoid missing the start of your course.

Preparing for Choice Filling: What You Need to Know
Before you log in to fill your choices, gather all the information you will need. Review the list of colleges offering MBBS and BDS seats under the state quota, along with their seat availability in your category. Understand the difference between state quota seats, NRI quota seats, and Management quota seats, as each carries different fee structures and eligibility criteria. If you are in a reserved category, note that vacant seats in your category may be filled by candidates from other categories, so your rank position relative to available seats is crucial.
Prepare a ranked list of colleges in order of your preference. Consider factors such as college reputation, location, infrastructure, and past placement records. Remember that your choice order matters: the allotment algorithm will assign you the highest-ranked college on your list for which you are eligible based on your merit rank and category. Once you lock your choices, you cannot change them, so think carefully before finalizing.
- Review all colleges offering MBBS and BDS seats in your category
- Understand seat types: state quota, NRI quota, and Management quota
- Note the fee structure for each college and quota type
- Rank colleges by your preference and eligibility
- Consider college reputation, location, and infrastructure
- Prepare your final choice list before logging in to the portal
Document Verification: Original Documents Only
A key change in Round 2 is the strict requirement for original documents during verification at Help Centres. Previously, some candidates may have submitted digital copies via DigiLocker or photocopies; these will no longer be accepted. You must bring original certificates, mark sheets, identity proof, category certificates (if applicable), and any other documents specified by ACPUGMEC.
Organize your original documents well in advance and keep them in a safe place. When you report physically at the Help Centre between September 11 and September 16, 2026, you will need to present these originals for verification. Failure to produce original documents may result in your seat allotment being cancelled or delayed. If you have any doubts about which documents are required, check the ACPUGMEC portal or contact the Help Centre before your reporting date.
- Only original documents are accepted; DigiLocker and photocopies are not valid
- Gather all required original certificates and mark sheets
- Prepare category certificates if you belong to SC, ST, SEBC, or EWS
- Bring valid identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, or PAN)
- Organize documents in a folder for easy access during verification
- Report at the Help Centre between September 11–16, 2026, with originals
What Happens After Choice Locking: Seat Allotment and Fee Payment
After the choice locking deadline on September 11, 2026, ACPUGMEC will process all submitted choices and run the seat allotment algorithm. The allotment result is expected to be released shortly after the deadline, though an exact date has not been announced. Once the result is published, you will be able to log in to the portal to view your allotted college and course.
If you are allotted a seat, you must pay the online tuition fee between September 11 and September 15, 2026, by 3:30 PM. Payment is mandatory to confirm your seat. After fee payment, you must report physically at the designated Help Centre by September 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM for document verification and final admission formalities. Classes will begin on September 15, 2026, so ensure you complete all steps on time to avoid losing your seat.

Seat Conversion Rules: Reserved to Unreserved and NRI to Management
In Round 2, if seats remain vacant in reserved categories (SC, ST, SEBC, EWS), they will be transferred to the unreserved (General) category. This means that if you are a General category candidate with a lower rank, you may become eligible for a seat that was originally reserved but went unfilled. Conversely, if you are in a reserved category, fewer seats may be available in your category as some are converted to General.
Similarly, any vacant NRI quota seats will be converted to Management quota seats with the applicable Management quota fee structure. This conversion affects the total number of seats available under each quota type and may influence your choice of college. Before filling your choices, check the seat matrix on the portal to understand how many seats are available in each category and quota type at each college.
- Vacant reserved category seats convert to unreserved (General) category
- Vacant NRI quota seats convert to Management quota seats
- Management quota seats have a different fee structure than state quota seats
- Check the updated seat matrix before filling choices
- Understand how conversions affect your eligibility and options
