Gujarat NEET PG 2026 revised merit list out, round 1 choice filling begins; fill by 31 October

The Admission Committee for Professional Postgraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPPGMEC) released the revised provisional merit list for Gujarat NEET PG 2026-27 admissions on October 27, 2026. Concurrently, the committee commenced the Round 1 online choice filling process for MD, MS, and Diploma seats in various medical colleges across Gujarat.

Candidates seeking admission to postgraduate medical courses in the state for the 2026-27 academic year must complete their online choice filling by the deadline of October 31, 2026. The counselling process is managed by ACPPGMEC for the 50% Gujarat state quota seats, while the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) handles the 50% All India Quota (AIQ) seats.

Revised Merit List and Choice Filling Procedure

The revised provisional merit list, published on October 27, 2026, includes distinct rankings for various categories. These categories encompass General, Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC), Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), In-Service candidates under General, SC, and SEBC quotas, Persons with Disability (PwD) candidates, and Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota candidates. Candidates can access the counselling portal at medadmgujarat.ncode.in/PG/Index.aspx to fill their choices.

To proceed with choice filling, candidates are required to log in using their 14-digit PIN and registered credentials. The online PIN purchase and registration for the 2026 cycle began on October 1, 2026, with document verification conducted from October 3 to 9, 2026. The provisional merit list was initially released on October 22, 2026, with a correction window open until October 24, 2026.

Reservation Policies and Eligibility Criteria

Specific reservation policies are in place for various categories. Ten percent of Government quota seats in certain MD/MS subjects in Government Medical Colleges, DNB courses in Government District Hospitals, and GMERS Medical Colleges are reserved for In-service doctors of Gujarat State. Additionally, five percent of available seats in each category in Government Colleges and Grant-in-aid colleges or Institutes are reserved for disabled candidates. Vacant reserved seats will transfer to unreserved categories during the third round allotment, while unfilled NRI quota seats will convert to Management quota, then to Government quota. Vacant institutional seats will convert to the respective State category seats.

Eligibility for state quota seats mandates candidates to have passed MBBS from a university established under any law of the Government of Gujarat and situated within the State of Gujarat. Permanent or Provisional Registration with the Gujarat Medical Council (GMC) or National Medical Commission (NMC) is also mandatory. In cases where two or more candidates have the same NEET-PG score, the candidate with the higher MBBS or FMGE aggregate percentage will rank higher.

Key Dates and Document Verification Requirements

The NEET PG 2026 exam was conducted on August 30, 2026, with results declared on September 24, 2026. The expected internship completion cutoff date is September 30, 2026. The counselling process for the 2026 cycle is planned to have four stages: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up Round, and Stray Vacancy Round. The total cost for the PIN and registration fee was ₹28,000, which included a non-refundable registration fee of ₹3,000 and a refundable security deposit of ₹25,000.

For document verification, only original documents are accepted. DigiLocker documents and colour photocopies will not be considered valid.
