Gujarat NEET UG Counselling 2025: Final Merit List Out, Choice Filling for Round 1 to Begin Soon

The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC), Gujarat, has published the final merit list for NEET UG 2025. This article guides medical and dental aspirants on how to access the list and what to expect during the crucial choice-filling and seat allotment process for Round 1.

In a significant update for medical aspirants in Gujarat, the Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC) has officially released the final merit list for NEET UG 2025 counselling. The list, which includes the names of all eligible candidates from the state, is now available on the official website, medadmgujarat.org. The publication of this list is a vital step as it determines the state rank of candidates, which will be the basis for seat allocation in the upcoming counselling rounds.

The final merit list contains key details for each candidate, including their NEET roll number, NEET All India Rank (AIR), and their State Merit Rank. This list is particularly important for candidates seeking admission to the 85% state quota seats in government and private medical and dental colleges in Gujarat. The release of this list follows a meticulous document verification process that was completed in the past few weeks.

What Comes Next: The Choice-Filling Process

With the final merit list now out, the next critical phase is the choice-filling and locking process for Round 1. The official schedule for this is expected to be released by ACPUGMEC shortly. This phase is one of the most important steps in the admission journey, as it allows candidates to select their preferred colleges and courses in order of priority.

Here is a simplified guide on the steps candidates should be prepared to take:

1. Log in to the Counselling Portal: Candidates will need to log in to the official ACPUGMEC portal using their credentials. This is the same portal used for initial registration.
2. Fill in Choices: Based on their state merit rank, candidates can fill in their choices of medical and dental colleges and courses. It is highly recommended to fill in as many choices as possible to maximize the chances of securing a seat.
3. Arrange Choices by Preference: Candidates should arrange their filled choices in their order of preference. The seat allotment algorithm will first consider a candidate's highest-preferred college, and if a seat is available based on their rank, it will be allotted.
4. Lock Choices: After carefully reviewing the filled choices, candidates must lock their preferences before the specified deadline. Once choices are locked, no changes can be made. If a candidate fails to lock their choices by the deadline, their choices will be automatically locked, so it is crucial not to wait until the last minute.

Important Advice for Aspirants

The medical admission process is highly competitive, and every step counts. Aspirants should take the time to research colleges, check previous years' cutoff scores, and consult with seniors or mentors to make informed decisions during choice filling. It is also wise to prepare all original documents and their photocopies for the subsequent physical reporting process, which will follow the seat allotment.

The seat allotment for Round 1 is expected to be released a few days after the choice-filling window closes. Candidates who are allotted a seat will be required to download their provisional allotment letter and report to their respective colleges to complete the admission formalities, including physical document verification and fee payment.
