Gujarat NEET Counselling 2026 Process
Here is the complete Gujarat NEET Counselling 2026 journey, explained step by step for a candidate going through it for the first time.
- Qualify NEET(UG)-2026, conducted by NTA, and check your All India Rank.
- Register on the ACPUGMEC portal (www.medadmgujarat.org) by purchasing the Online PIN, once registration opens.
- Fill in your personal, academic and category-specific details in the Online Registration Form, and upload the required documents.
- Confirm your registration details; no further changes are allowed once confirmed.
- Take an appointment and visit a Help Center for document verification, and collect your signed Registration Slip.
- Wait for ACPUGMEC to prepare and publish the merit list of all eligible registered candidates, and verify your merit number and category.
- Check the seat matrix (Government Quota, Management Quota, AIQ and NRI seats) published for participating colleges.
- Take part in online choice filling once it opens for your round, selecting your preferred course and college in order of preference.
- Wait for the choice-filling period to close; ACPUGMEC then processes seat allotment.
- Check your seat allotment status by logging in with your own User ID.
- If allotted a seat, pay the requisite tuition fee within the time limit specified by ACPUGMEC.
- Submit your original documents, Allotment Letter and Fee Payment Receipt at the appointed Help Center to confirm your admission.
