The Admission Committee for Professional Post-Graduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPPGMEC), Gujarat, has released the vacancy report following the conclusion of the first round of NEET PG 2025 state counselling. According to official data, a total of 672 postgraduate medical seats remain vacant across government and self-financed medical colleges in the state. This includes "Clear Vacancies" from non-reporting candidates and "Virtual Vacancies" created by those opting for upgradation.

With these vacancies now identified, the committee has opened the portal for Round 2 registration, offering a fresh opportunity for candidates who missed the first round or those who wish to enter the state pool now. The second round is pivotal for stabilizing the academic session for the 2025-26 period.

Looking Ahead: Post-Round 2 Vacancies

Following Round 2, the seat matrix will be re-evaluated. Seats remaining vacant after the second reporting phase will be moved to the Mop-Up Round, which is typically the final online round conducted by the committee.

Conclusion: A Strategic Move for Aspirants

With 672 seats still available, including many in clinical specializations, Round 2 represents a significant chance for aspirants to secure their preferred branch. Candidates are advised to monitor the vacancy list carefully, as the inclusion of 'virtual vacancies' might open up spots in top-tier colleges like BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad, or GMC Surat.
