Counselling Process — Step by Step

1

Register on Official Portal

Visit medadmgujarat.org → NEET UG 2026 counselling section. Fill personal details, NEET application number, and Class 12 details. Pay the registration fee online.

2

Upload Documents

Upload scanned copies of all required documents within the specified window. Domicile/nativity certificate is critical — ensure it's valid and up to date.

3

Merit List Publication

The counselling authority releases the state merit list based on NEET UG score and category. Only registered and document-verified candidates appear on this list.

4

Choice Filling

Fill and lock your college preferences before the deadline. List as many colleges as possible — there's no penalty for more choices. Rank from most to least preferred.

5

Seat Allotment

The counselling body releases allotment based on your merit rank, choices, seat availability, and reservation criteria. Accept, float, slide, or reject as per your strategy.

6

Subsequent Rounds

Unfilled seats from earlier rounds are available in later rounds. Cutoffs typically relax slightly in Round 2 and mop-up rounds — strategic upgrades are possible.

7

Report to College

Download allotment letter → report to allotted college → submit original documents → pay admission fees → complete admission formalities within specified dates.

Archway Strategy Tip: Register for both MCC AIQ counselling (mcc.nic.in) and Gujarat state counselling simultaneously. Participating in one does not affect the other. Having multiple registrations maximises your seat-securing options.
