Gujarat NEET PG state counselling
ACPPGMEC allots every non-AIQ MD/MS/Diploma seat in Gujarat (government, management and NRI) through one online merit-based process with mandatory document verification at help centres. Candidates often miss that out-of-state MBBS graduates need Gujarat schooling plus birth or domicile.
- ~762 government state-quota seats
- 7 government colleges
- Official documents, cited
Where 2026 counselling stands
No 2026 registration or round schedule published as of 1 October 2026. ACPPGMEC has posted the NEET-PG 2026 result notice (29 Sep 2026), 2026-27 eligibility criteria (internship by 30 Sep 2026), NRI instructions and PwBD guidelines (16 Sep 2026).
How many government seats the state fills
No state publishes this number, so here is how it is built. NMC’s register records the sanctioned PG intake of each government college; MCC’s results record how many of those seats went through the All India Quota. What is left is the state quota — what ACPPGMEC Gujarat itself allots.
- 7
- government colleges matched
- 1,447
- sanctioned PG intake
- 685
- All India Quota, 2025
- 762
- left as state quota
Who can apply
- MBBS from a university established under Gujarat law and situated in Gujarat, or
- MBBS from elsewhere in India or abroad (meeting NMC criteria) plus Class 12 Science (B or AB group) from a Gujarat school or Gujarat board, and born in or domiciled in Gujarat.
- Internship completed by 31 July 2025 for the 2025-26 session; by 30 September 2026 for 2026-27.
- NRI seats: NRIs or their children/wards who qualify NEET-PG; Rs 25,000 processing fee and verification at the Gandhinagar office only.
- SC/ST/SEBC reservation applies only to castes recognised in Gujarat, not to migrants from other states.
- No fetched ACPPGMEC document refers to Tanvi Behl v. Shrey Goel; the 2026-27 criteria still include the birth/domicile condition for out-of-state MBBS graduates.
