Gujarat NEET MDS Counselling 2026: Round 1 Choice Filling, Seat Allotment & Reporting

The Admission Committee for Professional Post Graduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPPGMEC), Government of Gujarat, has opened Round 1 online choice filling for NEET MDS Counselling 2026. As of this report, the seat allotment result has not yet been announced; candidates currently in the process are at the choice-filling stage, which runs from August 31 to September 5, 2026, up to 11:00 AM, on the official portal, medadmgujarat.org.

Round 1 Schedule So Far

This round is open to all candidates included in the ACPPGMEC merit list, covering Government, Management, and NRI quota seats across government and self-financed dental colleges in Gujarat. Once choice filling closes, candidates can view their submitted choices on September 5 at 3:00 PM; the seat allotment result will follow after the committee processes these choices against the merit list and seat matrix, though ACPPGMEC has not stated a specific date for this yet.

Round 1 Seat Matrix: 260 Seats on Offer

Alongside the choice-filling schedule, ACPPGMEC has released the tentative Round 1 seat matrix, listing a total of 260 MDS seats across 11 dental colleges. The quota-wise breakup shows 151 Government Quota seats, 50 Institutional Quota seats, 56 Management Quota seats, and 3 NRI Quota seats. Candidates should treat this as a tentative matrix and check the final version on the official portal, since seat numbers can be revised before allotment.

A tentative seat matrix can still change before the final allotment; candidates should recheck seat counts on medadmgujarat.org rather than lock choices purely on the basis of the numbers published today.— CaderaEdu Advisory

Background: Gujarat NEET MDS Counselling

ACPPGMEC conducts a centralised, single counselling process for MDS admissions in Gujarat, covering both government and private dental colleges. Gujarat is generally treated as a closed state for MDS admission, meaning eligibility for most seats is restricted to Gujarat domicile candidates. Registration requires purchase of a PIN at a cost of Rs 3,000, non-refundable, plus a Rs 25,000 refundable security deposit, based on the fee structure used in recent cycles; candidates should confirm the current fee on the official portal before proceeding.

What Comes After Allotment

Once the seat allotment result is declared, candidates allotted a seat will typically need to download the provisional allotment letter, pay the applicable fee, and report to the allotted college within the window ACPPGMEC notifies at that time, carrying original documents including the NEET MDS result, BDS mark sheets, internship completion certificate, and state dental council registration for verification. Counselling for MDS in Gujarat generally continues across further rounds and a stray vacancy round if seats remain vacant after Round 1; dates for these have not yet been announced.

Official Information and Where to Check

All authoritative updates on Gujarat NEET MDS Counselling 2026, including the seat allotment result once declared, are published on the official ACPPGMEC portal, medadmgujarat.org. Candidates should rely on this source over any third-party report for the confirmed allotment date and reporting instructions.
