The Admission Committee for Professional Post Graduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPPGMEC) has commenced choice filling for Gujarat NEET PG 2025 Round 1 counselling. Candidates must submit their preferences by 11 AM on November 27 . A total of 2,364 MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats are available across medical colleges in Gujarat for this admission cycle.
Counselling Schedule and Eligibility
Approximately 4,790 candidates have been declared eligible for state-level counselling. The Gujarat NEET PG Round 1 merit list 2025 was initially published on November 4 , outlining specific candidate statuses. This list served as the basis for eligibility for the current choice filling phase.
Key Merit List Outcomes
Review of the merit list revealed distinct eligibility categories and outcomes for applicants. These details are crucial for candidates understanding their standing:
- In-Service Candidates: 29 candidates applying under the in-service category received incentive marks. This provision aims to benefit medical professionals currently serving.
- NRI Quota Eligibility: 14 candidates were identified as eligible exclusively for the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota seats.
- MD/MS Seat Eligibility: A total of 47 candidates qualified for MD and MS seats across different quotas, including NRI, government, and management categories.
Conversely, 113 students have been declared ineligible for admission to Gujarat medical colleges for the current academic year. Their ineligibility stems from various issues, including insufficient qualifying marks, discrepancies in submitted marks, and invalid or unverified documents.
Revised Admission Policy for 2025
The Health and Family Welfare Department, Gandhinagar, has amended the admission policy for Gujarat NEET PG counselling 2025. These revisions introduce new rules for seat conversion between categories. The updated policy aims to streamline the allocation process and address unfilled seats more effectively.
Under the revised guidelines, the conversion of reserved category seats to unreserved seats will now occur only in Round 3 of the counselling process. This change impacts how reserved category vacancies are handled in earlier rounds. Additionally, NRI seats that remain unfilled will first be transferred to the Management Quota (MQ). If these seats still find no takers, they will then be reallocated to the Government Quota (GQ).
