Gujarat NEET UG Counselling 2025: Round 2 Choice Filling Underway for Over 1,100 Vacant Seats

Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC) has officially initiated the second round of counselling for NEET UG 2025. The move comes as a major relief for candidates who were unable to secure a seat in the first round, as well as for those looking to upgrade their allotted colleges. With a total of 1,169 seats—including both MBBS and BDS—remaining vacant after the first round, this phase presents a crucial opportunity for aspirants to secure a spot in a top medical or dental college in the state.

The vacant seats include 654 MBBS seats and 153 BDS seats, providing a wide array of options across various government and private institutions. The high number of vacant seats is a result of candidates failing to report to their allotted colleges or opting out to wait for a better opportunity. This has made the second round particularly competitive and vital for aspirants.

Important Steps for Round 2 Counselling

All candidates who wish to participate in the second round of counselling must complete the online choice filling and locking process. It is imperative to remember that a fresh choice filling is mandatory for all participants, and the preferences submitted during the first round will not be considered. Aspirants are advised to meticulously review the updated seat matrix, which details the available seats in each college by category, to make an informed decision.

Here are the key steps for aspirants to follow:

1. Online Choice Filling: Candidates must log in to the official ACPUGMEC website, medadmgujarat.org, and fill in their choices of colleges and courses.
2. Choice Locking: Once the choices have been filled, candidates must lock their preferences before the specified deadline. Failure to lock will result in the choices being automatically locked at the end of the choice-filling window.
3. Preparation of Documents: After the choices are locked, candidates should start preparing their original documents, including the NEET UG 2025 scorecard, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, domicile certificate, and other relevant documents, for the physical verification process.

While the academic session for new admissions was tentatively scheduled to begin on September 5, 2025, this date may be subject to change depending on the completion of the counselling process. Any updates will be officially announced on the committee's website.

This second round is a make-or-break opportunity for many. Aspirants should approach it with careful planning and by staying on top of all official announcements. For continuous updates and insights on the medical admission process, follow Only Education News.
