The announcement is important for thousands of NEET UG qualified candidates who are participating in the Gujarat admission process for Government, Grant-in-Aid and Self-Financed Medical and Dental Colleges.

MBBS and BDS Classes to Commence on September 15

The academic programme for newly admitted MBBS and BDS students of the 2026-27 batch is scheduled to commence on September 15, 2026.

The commencement of the academic year comes as the Gujarat medical admission and counselling process continues for eligible candidates seeking seats in undergraduate medical and dental colleges across the state.

Candidates who have already received seats in the earlier counselling rounds are advised to ensure that all admission-related formalities, including fee payment, document verification and college reporting, are completed within the prescribed deadlines.

Gujarat MBBS/BDS 2026-27 Academic Schedule

The continuation of counselling rounds after the commencement of classes means that candidates obtaining seats in subsequent rounds may join their allotted institutions according to the applicable admission and academic regulations.

Counselling Process Continues Alongside Academic Activities

Gujarat's NEET UG counselling process covers admissions to undergraduate medical and dental programmes under different categories of seats, including Government, Management and NRI seats.

Admissions are being conducted for participating Government, Grant-in-Aid and Self-Financed Medical and Dental Colleges in the state.

The counselling process is based on several factors, including the candidate's merit position, choices submitted during counselling, availability of seats and applicable reservation and admission rules.

Students participating in the upcoming counselling stages should carefully monitor the schedule announced for each round.

What Should Round 1 and Round 2 Candidates Do?

Candidates who have already been allotted a medical or dental seat should pay close attention to the reporting and admission requirements of their respective institutions.

They should ensure the timely completion of:

• Payment of prescribed tuition fees

• Submission and verification of required documents

• Reporting at the allotted medical or dental college

• Completion of institutional admission procedures

• Confirmation of admission within the stipulated deadline

Students should avoid waiting until the last moment for admission formalities, as delays may affect their ability to complete the joining process successfully.

Important Update for Candidates Awaiting Further Counselling Rounds

A significant number of candidates may still be waiting for opportunities in subsequent rounds of Gujarat NEET UG counselling.

Such candidates should continue participating in the counselling process according to their eligibility and carefully follow announcements regarding:

• Fresh registration or PIN-related requirements, wherever applicable

• Choice filling and modification

• Seat matrix and vacancy details

• Round-wise seat allotment results

• College reporting instructions

• Stray vacancy admissions

Candidates who receive seats in later rounds will need to complete the joining formalities as per the schedule applicable to their respective round and institution.

Academic Session Begins as Admissions Continue

The September 15 commencement date marks an important milestone for the Gujarat MBBS and BDS 2026-27 batch.

However, the admission process is expected to continue through subsequent counselling rounds to fill available undergraduate medical and dental seats. Students joining through later rounds may therefore enter colleges after the formal academic session has already begun.

Newly admitted students are advised to remain in contact with their allotted colleges regarding orientation programmes, commencement of classes and other academic requirements.

Candidates Advised to Stay Alert for Further Notices

Students should regularly monitor official counselling announcements for changes in dates, reporting instructions, seat availability and other admission-related developments.

Since counselling schedules can be revised depending on the progress of admissions and other administrative requirements, candidates should carefully verify every important deadline before taking action.

The start of the 2026-27 MBBS and BDS academic session on September 15 will open a new chapter for aspiring doctors and dentists who have secured admission in Gujarat's medical and dental institutions.

With further counselling rounds scheduled to follow, candidates who are still awaiting allotment should continue to participate actively and complete all required procedures within the notified timelines.
