Gujarat has received a major boost in postgraduate medical education with over 250 new PG medical seats added for the 2025–26 session. This expansion, approved by the central government, aims to strengthen medical education and improve access to specialist doctors across the state. According to the NMC and ACPPGMEC, these new seats will be included in the upcoming NEET-PG counselling round.
If you’re a NEET-PG aspirant waiting for Gujarat admission updates, this article gives you everything you need — the latest seat details, expected counselling dates, required documents, and a step-by-step checklist to help you stay ahead.
Quick answer (one line)
Gujarat has been allotted over 250 additional PG medical seats as part of a national expansion. These seats will appear in the official seat matrix and will be offered through the state counselling process. Monitor the official portals and prepare your documents now.
Why this matters (simple)
Imagine you missed a seat last year and felt upset. Now, hundreds more seats are being added across India. That means more chances for students who were just outside last year’s cutoffs. It also helps hospitals get more specialist doctors, especially outside big cities.
What happened (plain facts)

- The central authorities approved a large national increase in postgraduate medical seats (over 11,000 across India).
- Gujarat’s share is reported as about 250+ additional PG seats for the 2025–26 cycle.
- The Gujarat admission committee (ACPPGMEC) will include these seats in the official seat matrix and run the counselling process.
- Because approvals were still being finalised, some states may delay counselling dates slightly. So keep checking official notices.
Note: The headline number is “over 250.” For exact, college-wise counts, check the official seat matrix when it is published.
In simple terms, what it means for you
- More seats = more chance. If your rank was close last year, you may get a seat this year.
- Cutoffs depend on where seats are added. If many seats are added in general medicine, cutoffs in that subject may fall more than in others.
- Be ready for timing changes. Counselling could start later if approvals finish late.
Step-by-step checklist (do this today)

- Watch official portals for the seat matrix and counselling notices.
- Prepare scanned documents: NEET-PG scorecard, MBBS pass certificate, internship completion certificate with date, photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/Passport), recent passport photo, and category/domicile certificates if applicable. Save them as PDFs.
- Make a preference list: Pick 10 colleges — 1 dream, 2–4 realistic, 5–10 backup. Add one or two smaller towns as backups.
- Check fees & bonds: Know the fee structure and any service bond for each college before you lock in choices.
- Turn on notifications: Enable browser or mobile alerts for the admission portal so you don’t miss short notices.
A real example (easy to understand)
Last year, a student with a rank of 4,200 missed General Medicine in Ahmedabad. If Gujarat adds even 8–10 extra General Medicine seats this year, that same student might get in — but only if they complete documents and fill choices quickly.
Things to verify (don’t skip these)
- Confirm exact college-wise seat numbers when the official seat matrix is published.
- Some newly approved seats can be provisional — they must be activated by colleges after meeting rules. Always confirm before you pay any seat fee.
