Gujarat MD/MS Seat Matrix 2026: Colleges & Seats
The Gujarat PG medical seat picture includes approximately 2,624 MD/MS seats across about 20 to 26 institutions, depending on the way institutions are grouped in the relevant notification. For an aspirant, the important point is that the available seats are spread across government, GMERS, private and deemed institutions, with very different fee levels and counselling routes.
Table
| Institution Type | Approximate Number of Colleges | Fee Range (Annual) |
|---|---|---|
| Pure Government Medical Colleges | Around 9 | 85,000 to 1.25 lakh rupees |
| GMERS Medical Colleges | Around 8 to 10 with PG intake | 2.5 lakh to 4 lakh rupees |
| Private and Deemed Medical Colleges | Around 17, including deemed universities | 1 lakh to over 25 lakh rupees |
| Central Institute (AIIMS Rajkot) | 1 | About 5,111 rupees for the entire course |

Do not use MBBS intake as a shortcut for estimating PG opportunities. A college may have a large UG intake but a much smaller MD/MS intake. For example, the source data lists GMERS Gandhinagar with 17 PG seats across five disciplines and M.P. Shah Medical College, Jamnagar, with 21 MD/MS courses and around 149 seats.
Government Medical College MD/MS Fees in Gujarat 2026
For candidates prioritising affordability, pure government medical colleges sit at the lower end of Gujarat's MD/MS fee spectrum. The guide places their annual fee broadly between Rs 85,000 and Rs 1.25 lakh, depending on speciality. B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad, is cited with an approximate total postgraduate course fee of Rs 1.91 lakh.
- B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad, the top-ranked MD college in Gujarat with a total course fee of about 1.91 lakh rupees.
- M.P. Shah Medical College, Jamnagar, offering 21 MD/MS courses across roughly 149 seats, admitted through ACPPGMEC state quota and MCC All India Quota.
- Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Medical College, Rajkot, one of the primary postgraduate destinations in Saurashtra region.
- AIIMS Rajkot, the state's central institute, charging approximately 5,111 rupees for the entire MD/MS course under the standard AIIMS fee structure, considerably lower than any state-regulated college in Gujarat.
These institutions follow merit-based counselling routes rather than a separate management-fee pathway. The source data describes seats being handled through ACPPGMEC for the state quota and MCC for the All India Quota, so candidates should track both processes where applicable.
GMERS MD/MS Fees in Gujarat 2026
GMERS sits between pure government and private institutions on the fee scale described here. Government-quota MD/MS seats are listed at about Rs 2.5 lakh per year, while management-quota seats are around Rs 4 lakh per year under the 2025-27 revision. Where a GMERS college does not have a separate NRI fee structure, the source notes that vacant NRI-designated seats may be filled under the management-quota fee.
- GMERS Medical College and Hospital, Gandhinagar, offering 17 PG seats across 5 MD/MS disciplines including Anaesthesiology, Emergency Medicine, Microbiology, Pathology and Ophthalmology.
- GMERS Medical College, Sola, Ahmedabad, one of the larger GMERS institutions with postgraduate intake alongside its established MBBS programme.
- GMERS Medical College, Gotri, Vadodara, affiliated with the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, offering 22 PG seats across 7 disciplines.
- GMERS Medical College and Hospital, Junagadh, affiliated with Bhakta Kavi Narsinh Mehta University, with an established MD/MS programme alongside its 200-seat MBBS intake.
For GMERS aspirants, counselling strategy matters as much as the headline fee. The source describes a dual route in which 50% of seats go through MCC or DGHS under the All India Quota and the remaining 50% are handled through ACPPGMEC state-quota counselling, based on NEET PG rank.
Private & Deemed MD/MS Fees in Gujarat 2026
Private and deemed institutions create the widest spread in the Gujarat MD/MS budget. The source places lower-end government-quota fees around Rs 1 lakh per year, while management-quota fees can exceed Rs 25 lakh per year. Deemed universities are described in the broad Rs 18-25 lakh annual range, but the actual amount can differ substantially by branch and institution.
Table
| College | Type | Approximate Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Sumandeep Vidyapeeth, Vadodara | Deemed university | About 1.16 crore rupees for the entire course, the highest in the state |
| Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute, Ahmedabad | Private, specialised oncology postgraduate training | Among the more established private postgraduate options in the state |
| Parul University, Vadodara | Deemed university | Fees in line with the broader deemed university range of 18 to 25 lakh rupees a year |
| GMERS Medical College and Hospital, Ahmedabad | Semi-government | Follows the standard GMERS government and management quota structure |

At a glance, Gujarat's MD/MS fee spectrum is extremely wide: the source cites about Rs 5,111 at the low end and around Rs 1.16 crore for the highest recorded deemed-university course. That gap is why comparing only college names is not enough; quota, speciality and institution type can completely change the financial picture.
NRI Quota MD/MS Fees in Gujarat 2026
For NRI candidates, the guide gives a broad annual range of US$40,000 to US$60,000 for MD/MS seats in private and deemed institutions. The exact amount depends on the college and speciality, so candidates should confirm the current NRI fee notice instead of applying a single rate across all colleges.
Gujarat MD/MS Fee Revision 2025-27: What Changed
The 2025-27 fee revision is important for 2026 aspirants because older fee tables may no longer reflect the current cycle. The source says the revised structure covers 10 MD/MS colleges and reports increases for several institutions. For PG seats, government-quota fees increased by about Rs 1 lakh per year to around Rs 2.5 lakh, while management-quota fees increased by about Rs 3 lakh per year to around Rs 4 lakh at several colleges.
The current fee cycle follows earlier fee changes involving GMERS. For counselling purposes, the practical takeaway is to use the applicable 2025-27 PG structure for 2026 planning rather than relying on older figures. The guide also notes that fee structures can be revised after the end of a two-year cycle.
Total 3-Year MD/MS Cost in Gujarat: Government vs GMERS vs Private
Table
| College Type | Approximate Total Course Cost (3 Years) |
|---|---|
| AIIMS Rajkot | About 5,111 rupees |
| Pure Government Medical Colleges | About 1.9 lakh to 3.75 lakh rupees |
| GMERS Medical Colleges (Government Quota) | About 7.5 lakh rupees |
| GMERS Medical Colleges (Management Quota) | About 12 lakh rupees |
| Private Medical Colleges (Government Quota) | About 3 lakh to 15 lakh rupees |
| Private and Deemed Colleges (Management Quota) | About 36 lakh rupees to over 75 lakh rupees |
| Deemed University (Highest Recorded) | About 1.16 crore rupees |

The biggest lesson from the fee comparison is that quota can matter as much as the college category. A lower-cost government-quota seat and a management-quota seat at the same broad institution type may have very different budgets. For a realistic comparison, calculate tuition for the full three-year course and then add hostel, examination, registration and other applicable charges.
Branch-Wise MD/MS Demand & Fee Strategy
Branch demand can change how quickly seats disappear during counselling. The source describes strong demand for clinical specialities such as General Medicine, General Surgery, Orthopaedics, Radiology and Dermatology, while non-clinical subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology generally see lower demand. Candidates should therefore compare branch preference, expected rank, fee and college quality together rather than looking at fees alone.
For candidates willing to consider non-clinical subjects, lower demand can sometimes create additional college options at a similar NEET PG rank. This can be useful when building a preference list, especially when affordability and institution quality are both priorities.
Gujarat MD/MS Counselling 2026: ACPPGMEC Process
Gujarat MD/MS counselling requires candidates to understand two major admission routes: ACPPGMEC state-quota counselling and the MCC/DGHS process for the applicable All India, Central or Deemed University seats. The source describes the broad 50:50 split for government, GMERS and several private institutions. Because the exact seat distribution can differ by institution and quota, candidates should read the current counselling notification before choice filling.
Service Bond, Hostel & Other MD/MS Costs
- Service bonds of 1 to 3 years are common at government and GMERS colleges, with a penalty of roughly 5 to 20 lakh rupees for discontinuation, so it is important to read the bond terms before accepting a seat.
- Hostel charges generally range between 50,000 and 1.5 lakh rupees a year depending on the college.
- University registration, examination and development fees can add a meaningful amount on top of tuition, particularly at private and deemed colleges.
- Stipend during the course partially offsets living costs at most government and GMERS colleges, though the exact amount varies by institution and year of study.
- Annual fee revisions apply at the end of each two-year Fee Regulatory Committee cycle, so a fee locked in for 2025-27 may change again from 2027 onward.
How to Find an Affordable MD/MS Seat in Gujarat
- Confirm your NEET PG rank against recent government and GMERS closing ranks for your target speciality before finalising your preference order.
- Rank pure government colleges and AIIMS Rajkot highest in your preference list if affordability is the priority, followed by GMERS government quota seats.
- Stay open to non-clinical branches if your rank does not comfortably secure a clinical seat, since non-clinical specialities often carry seats at better-ranked colleges for the same rank.
- Register for both ACPPGMEC state counselling and MCC or DGHS All India Quota counselling, since missing one process can cost you a genuinely affordable seat.
- Read the specific college's current fee notification and bond terms directly rather than relying only on aggregator fee tables.
- Factor in hostel, stipend and bond conditions when comparing colleges, not just the headline annual tuition figure.
Common Mistakes During Gujarat MD/MS Counselling
- Assuming every GMERS college charges the same government quota fee, when management and NRI quota fees at the same institution can be several times higher.
- Confusing pure government college fees with GMERS fees, since GMERS government quota fees run roughly two to three times higher than pure government college fees.
- Overlooking service bond terms and penalty amounts before accepting a low-fee government or GMERS seat.
- Ignoring branch-wise demand patterns, and assuming a clinical seat is always the better choice over a non-clinical seat at a stronger college.
- Not verifying whether a listed fee reflects the current 2025-27 revised structure or an outdated figure from an earlier cycle.
- Skipping ACPPGMEC or MCC registration, assuming only one counselling process applies to your target college.
What to Do After Comparing Gujarat MD/MS Fees
After comparing fees, the next decision is whether your expected NEET PG rank can realistically secure the branch and college you want. Use a rank-based predictor to shortlist options, then compare those options by quota, total three-year cost, bond conditions and speciality. Finally, verify the selected college's current fee notice before submitting your counselling preferences.
