Gujarat NEET UG Round 2: Revised Merit List, 50 New MBBS Seats, Deadlines

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, the National Medical Commission has approved 50 additional MBBS seats at Ananya College of Medicine and Research in Kalol, Gandhinagar, which are now part of Round 2 allotment. If you are a shortlisted candidate in Gujarat, you have a tight window to fill and lock your college preferences before the deadline passes.

What the Revised Merit List Includes

ACPUGMEC has published separate merit lists for General, SC, ST, SEBC (Other Backward Class), and EWS (Economically Weaker Section) categories. In addition, dedicated PDFs have been made available for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) candidates, PWD (Persons with Disability) sub-categories, and local quota lists for the National Health List (NHL) and Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) areas.

The portal also displays a list of ineligible candidates along with the reasons for their ineligibility. This transparency helps candidates understand whether they meet the eligibility criteria and can proceed with choice filling. All documents are available on the official ACPUGMEC website at medadmgujarat.org.

50 New MBBS Seats: What Changed in Round 2

The National Medical Commission has increased the intake capacity of Ananya College of Medicine and Research, Kalol, Gandhinagar, by 50 MBBS seats. These additional seats will be included in the Round 2 allotment process once the Letter of Permission is formally received by ACPUGMEC. This expansion significantly widens the pool of available seats for Round 2 candidates compared to earlier rounds.

For NEET aspirants, this means more opportunities to secure an MBBS seat in Gujarat during Round 2. If you were on the borderline in earlier rounds or did not get your preferred college, the addition of 50 seats increases your chances of a favorable allotment in this round.

Critical Deadlines: Choice Filling and Locking Window

The choice filling process opened on September 7, 2026, and the revised merit list was released on September 10, 2026. The most important deadline for all shortlisted candidates is September 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM—this is the final time you can lock your college preferences. After this deadline, no changes to your locked choices will be permitted.

You can view your filled choices until 12:00 Noon on September 11, 2026. This gives you a brief window to review what you have locked before the system closes. Missing the 11:00 AM locking deadline will result in your choices not being considered for seat allotment, so mark this date and time clearly on your calendar.

• Choice filling opened: September 7, 2026
• Revised merit list released: September 10, 2026
• Last date to lock choices: September 11, 2026 (11:00 AM)
• Choice view window closes: September 11, 2026 (12:00 Noon)

Document Verification: Original Documents Only

From Round 2 onwards, ACPUGMEC will accept only original documents during the document verification process at Help Centres. Digital copies stored in DigiLocker and photocopies will no longer be considered valid. This is a significant change from earlier rounds and requires you to prepare your original certificates, mark sheets, and identity proofs well in advance.

Physical reporting at Help Centres must be completed by September 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM. Ensure you have all original documents—including your NEET admit card, mark sheet, 10th and 12th certificates, caste certificate (if applicable), and identity proof—ready before you visit the Help Centre. Any missing or unverified documents could delay your admission process.

• Only original documents accepted (no DigiLocker or photocopies)
• Physical reporting deadline: September 16, 2026 (4:00 PM)
• Online tuition fee payment window: September 11–15, 2026 (by 3:30 PM)
• Classes commence: September 15, 2026

How Reserved and NRI Seats Are Handled

Vacant seats in reserved categories (SC, ST, SEBC, EWS) will be transferred to the unreserved (General) category during Round 2. This means if a reserved category seat remains unfilled after allotment to eligible candidates in that category, it becomes available for General category candidates. This practice ensures maximum utilization of available seats.

Vacant NRI quota seats will be converted into Management quota seats with the applicable fee structure. This conversion allows colleges to fill seats that would otherwise remain empty and provides additional opportunities for candidates willing to pay the management quota fee. Candidates should check the fee structure for management quota seats before locking their choices.
