The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Education Courses (ACPUGMEC), Government of Gujarat, has granted candidates who did not report in Round 3 of NEET UG 2026 counselling a final opportunity to secure their allotted MBBS or BDS seat. The reporting deadline has been pushed to October 16, 2026, giving aspirants two additional days to complete fee payment and document verification at designated help centres across the state. This extension is critical for candidates who missed the original October 14 deadline, as Round 3 is typically the last structured counselling phase for state quota medical and dental seats in Gujarat.
If you were allotted a seat in Gujarat Round 3 but did not report by October 14, you have until October 16 to complete fee payment and document submission—missing this final deadline will result in loss of your seat.

Unlock My College ListWhat Is the New Reporting Timeline for Gujarat Round 3?
The official notice, issued on October 14, 2026, under reference U-11011/07/2026-MEC, has restructured the reporting schedule into a compressed two-day window. Candidates must now act quickly, as each activity has a specific time slot that cannot be extended further.
Online fee payment is open from October 14 to October 15 until 3:30 PM. Offline payment through designated HDFC Bank branches is available only on October 15 between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Physical reporting and document submission at help centres runs from October 15 to October 16, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Missing any of these windows will result in automatic cancellation of your allotted seat.
- Online tuition fee payment: October 14–15, 2026 (up to 3:30 PM)
- Offline fee payment at HDFC Bank branches: October 15, 2026 (10:30 AM–3:30 PM)
- Reporting and document submission at help centres: October 15–16, 2026 (10:00 AM–4:00 PM)
Who Can Use This Extended Deadline?
The extension applies exclusively to candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 3 but failed to report or confirm their allotment by the original October 14 deadline. This includes aspirants allotted to both Government and Self-Financed Medical and Dental Colleges for the 2026–27 academic session.
If you have already reported and paid your fees, you do not need to take any action. The extension does not create new allotments or apply to candidates who were skipped by the system. Only non-reporting candidates from the original Round 3 allotment list are eligible.
Essential Documents You Must Carry to Help Centres
Bring both original documents and photocopies to your assigned help centre. The verification team will check originals and retain copies for official records. Incomplete documentation will delay or prevent your admission confirmation.

How to Pay Your Tuition Fee: Online vs. Offline
Tuition fees must be paid through only two channels: the official medadmgujarat.org portal or designated HDFC Bank branches. Payments made through any other method—including direct bank transfers, cheques, or cash at colleges—will not be accepted and will invalidate your reporting.
Online payment is the faster and safer option. Log into your counselling account on medadmgujarat.org, select your allotted college, and complete the payment by 3:30 PM on October 15. If you face technical issues or prefer offline payment, visit an HDFC Bank branch on October 15 between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Keep your payment receipt; you will need it at the help centre.
- Online payment: Faster, available until 3:30 PM on October 15
- Offline payment: HDFC Bank branches only, October 15, 10:30 AM–3:30 PM
- No other payment method will be accepted
- Always retain your payment receipt for verification

Why This Extension Matters for Your Medical Career
Round 3 is typically the final structured counselling phase for state quota MBBS and BDS seats in Gujarat. Once this round closes, the only remaining opportunity is usually a mop-up or stray vacancy round, which offers far fewer seats and no guarantee of placement in your preferred college or course.
If you miss this October 16 deadline, your allotted seat will be cancelled, and you will lose your place in the counselling queue. You cannot reclaim it in Round 3. This makes the extended deadline a genuine lifeline—use it wisely. Thousands of aspirants compete for limited government and private medical seats; losing your allotment now could mean a year's delay or forced admission to a college far from your preference.
What Happens After October 16? Watch for Mop-Up Round News
After the Round 3 reporting window closes on October 16, ACPUGMEC will compile the final list of vacant seats. These vacancies arise when candidates do not report, withdraw, or upgrade to other colleges. A mop-up round (also called stray vacancy round) is typically announced to fill these remaining seats.
Monitor medadmgujarat.org closely for announcements regarding the mop-up round schedule, vacancy list, and registration dates. Mop-up rounds usually offer fewer seats and move quickly, so staying alert is essential. If you do not secure a seat in Round 3, the mop-up round may be your last chance to enter a medical or dental college in Gujarat for the 2026–27 session.
- Check medadmgujarat.org daily for mop-up round announcements
- Mop-up rounds typically have fewer seats and shorter registration windows
- Mop-up round schedule is expected after October 16, 2026
- Prepare your documents in advance in case you need to register quickly
Common Mistakes to Avoid During Reporting
Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable errors. Do not assume you can report after 4:00 PM on October 16—the help centres close at 4:00 PM, and late arrivals will not be entertained. Do not pay fees through channels other than the official portal or HDFC Bank; such payments will not be recognized. Do not forget to bring original documents; photocopies alone are insufficient for verification.
Another frequent mistake is incomplete documentation. If you are missing even one certificate, the help centre staff may ask you to return with it, and you may run out of time. Verify your assigned help centre location in advance; do not assume it is near your home. Finally, do not delay payment until October 15 evening; if the online portal experiences technical issues, you will have no time to visit an HDFC Bank branch.
- Report before 4:00 PM on October 15 or 16; late arrivals will not be accepted
- Pay fees only through medadmgujarat.org or HDFC Bank; no other method is valid
- Bring original documents, not just photocopies
- Ensure all required certificates are with you before visiting the help centre
- Locate your assigned help centre in advance
- Complete fee payment by October 15 to avoid last-minute technical issues

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I was allotted a seat in Gujarat Round 3 but did not report by October 14. Can I still secure my seat?
Yes. ACPUGMEC has extended the reporting deadline to October 16, 2026. You must complete fee payment and document submission by this date. If you miss October 16, your seat will be cancelled with no further opportunity in Round 3.
What is the exact deadline for paying my tuition fee?
Online fee payment must be completed by 3:30 PM on October 15, 2026. If you prefer offline payment at an HDFC Bank branch, you must do so on October 15 between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM. No payments are accepted after these times.
Where do I report with my documents, and what are the help centre timings?
You must report at your assigned help centre (mentioned in your allotment letter) between October 15 and October 16, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Arrive well before 4:00 PM to allow time for document verification. Your help centre location is specified in your provisional allotment letter on medadmgujarat.org.
What documents do I absolutely need to bring to the help centre?
Bring originals and photocopies of: NEET UG scorecard and admit card, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates, School Leaving Certificate, Gujarat domicile certificate, category certificate (if applicable), Aadhaar card, passport-size photographs, and your fee payment receipt from HDFC Bank. Missing any of these may delay or prevent your admission confirmation.
Can I pay my fee through my bank account or by cheque instead of the online portal or HDFC Bank?
No. Tuition fees must be paid exclusively through the official medadmgujarat.org portal or at designated HDFC Bank branches. Payments made through any other channel, including direct bank transfers or cheques, will not be accepted and will invalidate your reporting.
I have already reported and paid my fee in Round 3. Do I need to do anything again?
No. The extension applies only to candidates who did not report by October 14. If you have already completed reporting and fee payment, you do not need to take any further action.
What happens if I miss the October 16 deadline?
Your allotted seat will be cancelled automatically. You will lose your place in Round 3 with no option to reclaim it. Your only remaining opportunity would be the mop-up (stray vacancy) round, which typically offers fewer seats and is announced after October 16.
When will the mop-up round be announced, and how do I stay updated?
The mop-up round schedule and vacancy list are expected to be announced after October 16, 2026. Monitor medadmgujarat.org regularly for updates. Mop-up rounds move quickly, so staying alert is essential if you do not secure a seat in Round 3.
If you were allotted a seat in Gujarat Round 3, treat October 16 as your absolute final deadline. Complete your fee payment by October 15 and report at your help centre with all required documents by October 16, 4:00 PM. After this date, your seat will be forfeited. Stay updated on medadmgujarat.org for mop-up round announcements in case you need a backup option.
