The short answer. Gujarat MBBS and BDS admission 2026-27 is run entirely by ACPUGMEC, which controls 100% of the state's medical and dental seats across government, management and NRI quota. Online PIN purchase and registration opened 31 July 2026 and close on 12 August 2026 at medadmgujarat.org. Eligibility requires a NEET UG 2026 score of 213 for Open and EWS, 194 for PwD Open/EWS, and 177 for SC, ST, SEBC and category-PwD. Government and management quota need both Class 10 and Class 12 passed from schools in Gujarat.
| Course | Category | Class 12 PCB (theory + practical) | English | NEET UG 2026 qualifying score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBBS | Open / EWS | Pass | Pass | 213 |
| PwD (Open / EWS) | Pass | Pass | 194 | |
| SC / ST / SEBC & category-PwD | Pass | Pass | 177 | |
| BDS | Open / EWS | 50% | Pass | 213 |
| PwD (Open / EWS) | 45% | Pass | 194 | |
| SC / ST / SEBC & category-PwD | 40% | Pass | 177 |
Note the BDS row. Gujarat applies a Class 12 PCB percentage requirement to BDS that it does not apply to MBBS. A candidate who clears the NEET floor but has 46% in PCB is eligible for MBBS consideration and not for BDS in the Open category.

To be considered for Government Quota or Management Quota in Gujarat, a candidate must have passed both Class 10 and Class 12 from schools located in Gujarat, and must either have been born in Gujarat or hold Gujarat domicile. This is not the usual soft domicile preference that some states apply — it is a hard gate written into the admission rules, and it applies to OCI card holders too.
For a student schooled in Guwahati, Shillong, Imphal or Aizawl, that closes two of the three quotas. What remains is NRI Quota, where ACPUGMEC grants admission on inter-se merit determined by All India Overall Rank among candidates who applied for NRI seats. Following the Supreme Court judgment in Writ Petition (C) No. 891 of 2021, dated 3 February 2023, OCI card holders are eligible for NRI, Management and Government quota — but the Gujarat schooling and domicile conditions above still bind the last two.
What OEF will tell you plainly. If your family has no genuine NRI sponsor and you were not schooled in Gujarat, Gujarat is not your state this year, and we will say so before you spend a rupee on a PIN. Puducherry's national self-supporting stream, open until 6 August, and the private management quota in states that still admit out-of-state candidates are better uses of the same fortnight.

Purchased through medadmgujarat.org. ACPUGMEC's own advice is to do this on a broadband connection, because transaction failures on weak connections are a recurring complaint. Without a PIN you cannot reach the application stage at all.
Authenticate with the PIN and enter your NEET UG 2026 and Class 12 details along with personal information. ACPUGMEC publishes a documents checklist, an instructions PDF and a procedure PDF on the UG page — read all three before starting.
Document verification happens in person at a designated help centre, and you choose the date and centre yourself while printing the registration slip. ACPUGMEC publishes the help-centre list. PwD candidates additionally appear before the medical board at a listed civil hospital.
ACPUGMEC publishes the merit list, then runs choice filling and seat allotment across successive rounds, ending with a stray round. Candidates report physically to the allotted college for admission.
Gujarat collects a non-refundable registration fee plus a refundable security deposit of ₹10,000. The refund is processed in rounds after the cycle ends, and candidates must submit bank details in the notified window — ACPUGMEC is currently running refund Round 7 for the previous session. Deposits do get forfeited where candidates default, so read the forfeiture clause before you accept an allotment.

How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website on 31 July 2026. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score.
12 August 2026. ACPUGMEC opened online PIN purchase and registration for undergraduate medical and dental courses for the 2026-27 session on 31 July 2026, and the advertisement for online registration is published on medadmgujarat.org. Because ACPUGMEC has extended deadlines in past cycles and also closed them exactly on time, confirm the closing hour on the portal on the day itself rather than relying on any third-party page, including this one.
ACPUGMEC's published eligibility table for 2026-27 sets the NEET UG 2026 qualifying score at 213 for Open and EWS candidates, 194 for PwD candidates in the Open/EWS category, and 177 for SC, ST, SEBC and category-PwD candidates. For MBBS you must have passed Class 12 PCB with English. For BDS the Class 12 PCB requirement is 50% for Open/EWS, 45% for PwD Open/EWS and 40% for SC/ST/SEBC and category-PwD.
Yes, all of them. ACPUGMEC states that the entire admission process for 100% of the seats in every medical and dental undergraduate college in Gujarat — Government Quota, Management Quota and NRI Quota — is conducted on merit, online, solely by the committee. No college in Gujarat admits directly. Any offer of a Gujarat seat outside medadmgujarat.org is not a real offer.
For Government and Management Quota, no. Gujarat's rules require that a candidate has passed both Class 10 and Class 12 from a school located in Gujarat, and is either born in Gujarat or holds Gujarat domicile. That closes those two quotas to a student schooled in the Northeast. NRI Quota is decided on inter-se merit by All India Overall Rank among NRI applicants, and OCI card holders are eligible following the Supreme Court judgment of 3 February 2023. In practice Gujarat is a route for NRI-sponsored candidates, not for the general out-of-state applicant — and we would rather tell you that now than after you have bought a PIN.
Separately. ACPUGMEC has stated that registration for BAMS and BHMS admission is conducted independently, as per the schedule notified by the NCISM, NCH and the AYUSH Counselling Committee, New Delhi. Do not assume your MBBS/BDS registration on medadmgujarat.org covers AYUSH courses; it does not.
