Gujarat PG Medical Admissions 2025 Reflect Updated Seat Matrix After Addition of 104 New Seats

The Admission Committee for Professional Post-Graduate Medical Courses (ACPPGMEC) has updated the Gujarat PG medical seat matrix for 2025. A total of 104 newly sanctioned MD and MS seats have been integrated into the Round 3 counselling cycle as of February 13, 2026. These additions span crucial clinical branches like General Medicine and Paediatrics across government and self-financed colleges. With 849 seats remaining vacant after the latest data verification, aspirants have a significant opportunity in the upcoming state stray vacancy rounds.

The Admission Committee for Professional Post-Graduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPPGMEC) has officially released the updated seat matrix for the 2025-26 academic session today, February 13, 2026. This updated roster reflects a strategic expansion of the medical education infrastructure in Gujarat, specifically through the addition of 104 newly sanctioned postgraduate seats. These seats, approved by the National Medical Commission, have been strategically distributed across various clinical and para-clinical specialties to address the growing demand for specialist doctors in the state. Detailed institutional seat distributions are now live on the official Gujarat Admission Portal.

Strategic Distribution of 104 Newly Added Seats

The addition of these 104 seats is a result of recent inspections and subsequent approvals for increased intake in both Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) and Self-Financed Institutes (SFIs). The committee has prioritized high-demand clinical branches to ensure that the state's healthcare delivery system is bolstered by a steady stream of residents.

• Clinical Branch Breakdown: Among the 104 new seats, General Medicine received 18 slots, while Paediatrics and Anaesthesiology were granted 15 and 14 seats respectively. Other significant additions include 13 seats in Obstetrics & Gynaecology and 10 in General Surgery.
• Institutional Allocation: The revised seat matrix confirms that these positions are spread across top-tier institutes, including B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad, and various GMERS-managed hospitals. This ensures a balanced geographical distribution of specialist training centers.
• Specialty Growth: Specialties such as Radio Diagnosis (6 seats) and Ophthalmology (4 seats) also saw minor yet critical increases, providing more options for high-ranking candidates who missed out in earlier rounds.
• Verification Process: All newly added seats have undergone strict data verification to ensure they meet the residency standards mandated by the National Medical Commission.

Impact on Vacancy Trends and Round 3 Outcomes

The integration of these seats has significantly altered the vacancy landscape for the ongoing Round 3 and the subsequent Stray Vacancy Round. As per the latest reports from the Medical Education Department, the total number of available slots has reached a critical volume, offering a lifeline to many state-quota aspirants.

• Current Vacancy Status: Following the conclusion of the Round 3 reporting cycle today, a total of 849 seats are currently reported as vacant across the state. This includes the 104 new seats and 357 seats that remained unfilled after Round 2.
• Percentile Revision Factor: The addition of seats coincides with the recent lowering of the qualifying percentile, which has made a larger number of Gujarat-domiciled candidates eligible for these premium clinical slots.
• Non-Clinical Surplus: While clinical seats are filling fast, the seat matrix indicates a surplus of vacancies in non-clinical branches like Physiology (41 seats) and Anatomy (35 seats), which may see conversion in the final stages.
• Seat Conversion Rules: In accordance with state policy, any remaining PwD or category-specific seats that stay vacant after the current verification will be converted to the general pool for the final online stray round.
