ACPC Gujarat pharmacy admission 2026-27: B.Pharm and D.Pharm closing ranks for every college, seats and fees

What ACPC admits to

ACPC runs the online admission for the first year of Degree Pharmacy (B.Pharm) and Diploma Pharmacy (D.Pharm) after Class 12 Science, on one portal and one merit list. Its 2026-27 seat matrix lists only these two courses. Pharm.D is not in it, so an ACPC rank does not lead to a Pharm.D seat (as of 29 October 2026).

ACPC also runs separate admissions for D to D pharmacy (diploma holders joining B.Pharm in the second year) and for M.Pharm, each on its own page. This guide covers only B.Pharm and D.Pharm after Class 12. For what each course involves, see our guides to B.Pharm, D.Pharm and Pharm.D, or the comparison B.Pharm vs D.Pharm vs Pharm.D.

Eligibility

Pharmacy Council of India rules. For B.Pharm, the PCI B.Pharm Course Regulations, 2014 ask for a pass in 10+2 with English, Physics and Chemistry, plus Mathematics or Biology. Students from non-formal or open schooling (such as NIOS) are not eligible. You must be 17 years old by 31 December of the year of admission. For D.Pharm, the PCI Education Regulations, 2020 ask for a pass in 10+2 science with Physics, Chemistry and Biology or Mathematics.

ACPC's own conditions. The 2026-27 advertisement says:

• For 95% of seats in government and aided colleges and 50% in self-financed colleges, you must have studied at a school in Gujarat and appeared in GUJCET 2026.
• For the other 5% of government and aided seats, students from any board in India who appeared in NEET 2026 or JEE (Main) 2026 are eligible. These seats use the All India Rank.
• The minimum is Class 12 Science (A or B group) with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology, and English, as PCI notifies.

How merit is made

For GUJCET seats, ACPC builds merit from 50% of the board's theory percentile in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or Biology, and 50% of the GUJCET 2026 percentile in the same subjects. This is the rule in the Education Department resolution of 7 July 2021, which applies it to degree and diploma pharmacy as well as engineering (GR, 7 July 2021).

The amendment rules of 14 March 2024 add two things (notification):

• If you improve your board result, ACPC revises the merit list and places you in the next online round.
• A student who passes through a supplementary exam can only take seats left after the earlier merit list has been offered seats.

The rest of the self-financed seats are management, NRI, NEET and JEE seats filled by the college. You can check your own merit rank on ACPC's merit rank search.

How the 2026-27 rounds ran

ACPC published key dates on 4 April 2026 and revised them on 10 August 2026. Round 3 was held back after a notice of 27 July 2026, which said the Supreme Court's directions and the NEET (UG) 2026 result meant the rest of the schedule would be announced on 10 August.

Sources: key dates, 4 April 2026, revised key dates, 10 August 2026, notice of 27 July 2026, online vacant round notice, offline round 1, offline round 2, self-financed vacant seats.

Confirming a seat. In each round you pay a token tuition fee online to confirm. The Round 3 instructions say that a new Round 3 seat cancels your earlier seat, and that if you do not confirm it, your Round 1, 2 and 3 admissions are all cancelled (Round 3 instructions). Colleges can charge only one semester's fee at admission, and you do not hand over original documents.

Seats and fees

The provisional GUJCET (Home State) seat matrix of 2 July 2026 lists:

Two changes came later. Prime Institute of Pharmacy, Navsari, shown with PCI approval pending, joined B.Pharm from Round 2 (notice of 20 July 2026). The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Shri Govind Guru University joined from Round 3 as an aided college with 100 B.Pharm seats (notice of 14 August 2026). That makes 123 B.Pharm colleges in the rank files.

Fees in the seat matrix (tuition fee for 2026-27):

• Government and aided B.Pharm: ₹2,100 for boys, nil for girls.
• Government and aided D.Pharm: ₹1,100 for boys, nil for girls.
• Self-financed B.Pharm: 78 colleges show a fixed fee from ₹52,479 to ₹1,47,000. 27 colleges show "under revision by FRC Tech". 11 show a higher fee "subject to approval by Appellate Committee", from ₹1,40,000 to ₹2,80,000 (Nirma).
• Self-financed D.Pharm: 24 colleges show ₹31,000 to ₹48,300. Four show "under revision by FRC Tech" and two show ₹70,000 subject to Appellate Committee approval.

Hostel, mess and university fees are extra. Each college's fee is in the master tables below.

How to read the closing rank tables

• Rank is the ACPC merit rank. Rank 1 is the top.
• Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 show the last rank allotted a seat in that round, for the OPEN (GEN) category on GUJCET seats. ACPC's files list only the seats allotted in that round, so a college that filled up in Round 1 has no Round 3 row. A "-" means the file has no OPEN GUJCET row for that college.
• Ranks from 50,000 upward appear only from Round 2 onward, after ACPC opened registration for students who had missed it and published a revised merit list. ACPC's files do not explain this series. Read it as a seat that went far down the list.
• 2025-26 is ACPC's last admitted OPEN rank for the previous year, from its file dated 6 October 2025.
• Rows are sorted by the Round 1 rank, hardest first. Colleges with no Round 1 row are at the end.
• Type: Govt is government, Aided is grant-in-aid, SFI is self-financed.
• PDF links in each row: R1 is the Round 1 rank-wise analysis (2 July 2026), R2 Round 2 (25 July 2026), R3 the last admitted rank after Round 3 (19 August 2026), 2025-26 the 2025-26 last admitted rank. The seat and fee columns come from the seat matrix.

Master table: B.Pharm closing ranks, all 123 colleges

OPEN category, GUJCET seats, 2026-27. Ranks as of 29 October 2026.

Government and aided B.Pharm: closing rank by category

These are the seven government and aided B.Pharm colleges. Six of them are in the seat matrix at ₹2,100 a year for boys and nil for girls, so they fill first. Each cell shows the last rank allotted in Round 3 / the online vacant round of September 2026. TFWS is the tuition fee waiver seat.

Sources: Round 3 last admitted rank, last admitted rank in the online vacant round.

NEET and JEE seats. The 5% of government and aided seats for NEET and JEE candidates use a separate merit list. ACPC's files print these merit numbers in an 8,00,000 series (NEET) and a 9,00,000 series (JEE), so they cannot be compared with GUJCET ranks. In Round 3, for example, L.M. College's OPEN NEET seats went from merit number 8,00,013 to 8,00,048.

Master table: D.Pharm closing ranks, all 38 colleges

OPEN category, GUJCET seats, 2026-27. Same files and same rules as the B.Pharm table.

D.Pharm seats filled slowly. After Round 3, 407 of 1,684 ACPC D.Pharm seats were allotted (intake and allotted after Round 3), and on 16 September 2026 only 336 students had reported (vacancy list).

Seats left after the online rounds

On 16 September 2026, ACPC's reporting status list showed 2,908 students reported against 6,825 ACPC B.Pharm seats, leaving 3,917 vacant. For D.Pharm, 336 had reported against 1,684 seats.

What happened to the vacant seats:

• Government and aided colleges went through an online vacant round in September, then two offline rounds at the ACPC building in Ahmedabad on 7 October and 22 October 2026. At the offline rounds you paid a token tuition fee of ₹2,100 and a ₹350 registration fee in cash. For round 2, ACPC listed 48 B.Pharm seats at Shri Govind Guru University and 279 D.Pharm seats across seven aided and government colleges (offline round 2 notice).
• Self-financed colleges fill their own vacant seats from 31 August to 31 October 2026. You buy the form at the college for ₹350 in cash and the college publishes its own merit list (ACPC notice of 31 August 2026).

What to expect for 2027-28

Not announced as of 29 October 2026. ACPC's pharmacy page shows only 2026-27 notices, and no 2027-28 advertisement, fee or date is out.

The 2026-27 cycle opened on 6 April 2026. Treat that as last year's pattern, not a promise. GUJCET is half your merit, so track GUJCET 2027 first, and see the GUJCET exam page. For the engineering side of the same process, read our ACPC BE/BTech admission guide. After B.Pharm, the usual next step for M.Pharm is GPAT: see our GPAT guide.
