Gujarat's state-quota PG medical seats are filled by the Admission Committee for Professional Medical Educational Courses (ACPMEC). It runs the state's online counselling separately from the All-India MCC round, covering state government, GMERS society and private/self-financing colleges under the state's arrangement.
This guide covers who conducts Gujarat counselling, which seats it fills, the domicile eligibility that governs a state seat, what the portal collects, and how the process runs.
Who conducts this counselling
ACPMEC is the state-appointed committee that conducts admissions and counselling for professional medical courses in Gujarat, including PG. It publishes the rules, verifies eligibility, runs the online rounds and declares allotments.
Gujarat maintains an in-service quota for serving government doctors alongside the open state pool. The All India Quota portion of Gujarat's government seats is handled by MCC.
What seats it fills
- State-quota PG seats in Gujarat government and GMERS medical colleges.
- The in-service quota reserved for serving government doctors.
- The state-quota share of PG seats in private and self-financing colleges under the state's arrangement.
Who is eligible
A qualifying NEET PG rank is required, and a Gujarat state seat additionally depends on Gujarat domicile/eligibility as defined in the admission rules. In-service candidates are considered under the service quota.
Confirm your eligibility category against the year's rules before planning around a state seat, since domicile and the service split decide which seats are within reach.
- A qualifying NEET PG rank/percentile for your category.
- MBBS from a recognised college with completed internship.
- Gujarat domicile/eligibility for a state seat, per the admission rules.
- In-service candidates: qualifying government service, under the service quota.
- State reservation categories apply where claimed and documented.
The official portal & what it collects
What you enter / upload
- NEET PG credentials and rank, verified against the NBEMS result.
- Domicile, category and service details that set your seat pool.

Common questions
What are GMERS colleges?
GMERS (Gujarat Medical Education & Research Society) colleges are state government-society medical colleges. Their state-quota PG seats are filled through ACPMEC counselling along with other government and private state-quota seats.
Do I need a Gujarat domicile for a state seat?
A state seat generally depends on Gujarat domicile/eligibility as defined in the admission rules. Confirm your eligibility before relying on a state seat.
Is ACPMEC counselling separate from MCC?
Yes. ACPMEC fills Gujarat's state-quota seats; MCC fills the All India Quota and deemed/central seats. Separate registrations and seat pools.
This guide explains how the process generally works so you walk in prepared. Dates, fees, exact eligibility clauses and portal links are set fresh each counselling cycle — always confirm the current details on the official portal before you act.
