Gujarat BAMS and BHMS round 3: new candidates can register until noon on 20 October, document checks close at 4 pm on 21 October

The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC), Gujarat, has announced a third round for BAMS (Ayurveda) and BHMS (Homoeopathy) seats in government and self-financed colleges for 2026-27. The advertisement, issued on 16 October 2026, opens fresh online registration until 12 noon on 20 October, with document verification at help centres until 4 pm on 21 October.

Who can register in this round

The round is open to students who passed Class 12 science with the B or AB group from a school in Gujarat (Gujarat board, CBSE, CISCE, Cambridge or NIOS), who qualified in NEET UG 2026 on the all-India rank, and who meet the state’s admission rules. Within that group, it is for students who:

• did not register in round 1 or round 2, or
• were allotted a seat in round 2 but did not confirm admission and exited with their refundable security deposit forfeited.

The schedule

Fee and appointment

• PIN: ₹1,000 (non-refundable) plus a ₹10,000 refundable security deposit, ₹11,000 in all.
• Already paid in round 1 or 2? If you bought the ₹11,000 PIN earlier but never finished registration or document verification, you do not need to buy it again. You only need to complete verification and submit photocopies at a help centre.
• Appointment: you choose your verification date and help centre yourself when you print the registration slip.

Where the seats are

The committee’s vacant-seat list after round 2 allotment, dated 8 October, showed 945 government-quota homoeopathy seats unallotted across 26 colleges. That list was drawn up before round 2 reporting, so the number of seats in round 3 can change once seats left unclaimed in round 2 are added back. Watch medadmgujarat.org for the round 3 vacancy list before you fill choices.

Under the national calendar set by NCISM and NCH, state round 3 counselling for Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy degrees runs from 24 to 29 October 2026, and the last date to join a round 3 seat is 3 November 2026. The cut-off date for all admissions this year is 30 November 2026.

What to do now

1. If you have not registered yet, buy the PIN and finish registration on medadmgujarat.org before 12 noon on 20 October.
2. Print the registration slip and pick the earliest help-centre slot you can. Verification closes at 4 pm on 21 October.
3. Check the committee’s list of required documents on medadmgujarat.org and carry the originals with self-attested photocopies of each.
4. If you hold a round 2 seat you do not want, cancellation at a help centre closes today, 19 October.
