Visit medadmgujarat.org → NEET UG 2026 counselling section. Fill personal details, NEET application number, and Class 12 details. Pay the registration fee online.
Upload scanned copies of all required documents within the specified window. Domicile/nativity certificate is critical — ensure it's valid and up to date.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Based on 2025 counselling trends. Use as reference — 2026 cutoffs will vary based on NEET difficulty, total candidates, and seat changes.
