The Gujarat state authorities will close the first round of choice filling for medical admissions on August 27, with 8,755 MBBS and BDS seats up for allocation.
Gujarat’s medical counseling authority announced that the first round of choice‑filling for MBBS and BDS programmes will be sealed on 27 August. A total of 8,755 seats – covering both government and private colleges – are slated for allocation in this round.
The choice‑filling exercise is part of the state’s merit‑based counselling process, where candidates submit their preferred colleges and courses after receiving their All‑India rank. The authority then matches preferences with seat availability, adhering to reservation norms and eligibility criteria.
Aspirants who miss the deadline will have to wait for the subsequent round, which is expected to be announced after the current list is published. The final merit list and seat allotment details will be made available on the official counselling portal.
The closure of this round marks a critical milestone in Gujarat’s annual medical admission cycle, influencing thousands of students seeking professional degrees in medicine and dentistry.
