The Gujarat NEET UG Round 2 NRI quota allotment has revealed some intriguing trends for students eyeing MBBS admission in the NRI category.
Unlike many other states, there's a solid demand for NRI quota seats in certain self-financed government medical colleges, particularly those highly sought after by NRI candidates. Still, several other medical colleges offering NRI seats are seeing less interest.
This Round 2 allotment gives a clear picture of where NRI candidates are focusing their efforts—and which places still have vacancies.
GMERS Medical College, Sola: Six Seats Re-Allotted
GMERS Medical College, Sola, stands out as a top choice for students seeking an NRI quota seat in Gujarat.
The college has 30 NRI quota seats, which were filled in Round 1, but a few candidates resigned their spots.
So, in Round 2, 6 seats were available for re-allotment.
The scores for these six new allotments were roughly:
* 336 marks
* 332 marks
* 331 marks
* The lowest reported score was about 318 marks
This re-allotment indicates that NRI candidates still have a strong interest in this institution.
GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar
GMERS Gandhinagar also has 30 NRI quota seats.
While these were initially filled in Round 1, some vacancies opened up after resignations.
During Round 2, 8 seats were re-allotted.
The lowest score among these was around 323 marks, showcasing continued interest in GMERS Gandhinagar compared to several other colleges in the state.
GMERS Medical College, Vadodara: No Round 2 Allotment
Things look different at GMERS Vadodara.
While several NRI quota seats—about four to five—were reportedly available after Round 1, none of them were filled in Round 2.
This suggests that NRI candidates didn’t find GMERS Vadodara appealing this round, resulting in **zero allotments** despite the available seats.
GMERS Medical College, Himmatnagar
GMERS Himmatnagar also faced a surplus of NRI quota vacancies.
With around 30 NRI seats, only one was allotted in Round 2.
Most of the seats stayed vacant after this round. The ongoing availability might matter for candidates eyeing Gujarat in future counseling rounds.
GCS Medical College, Ahmedabad
GCS Medical College in Ahmedabad is a private institution linked with the Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute.
In Round 2, one NRI quota seat was allotted.
The score for this allotment was around 264 marks.
Compared to GMERS Sola and Gandhinagar, this demonstrates that demand can fluctuate widely between institutions, even when NRI quota seats are on the table.
Strong Preference for Selected Institutions
The data from Round 2 clearly shows a preference among students in Gujarat.
GMERS Sola and GMERS Gandhinagar are still drawing significant interest in the NRI category.
On the flip side, several other colleges are left with vacancies, hinting that NRI candidates aren't just looking for any available seat; they have specific institutions in mind.

Why Round 3 Could Be Important
Don’t think of Round 2 allotment as the final say for Gujarat's NRI quota.
Just because a candidate gets a seat in Round 2 doesn’t guarantee they'll stay at that institution.
Some students might decide to:
* Give up their Round 2 seat
* Opt for a different medical college
* Upgrade to a more preferred institution
* Join in on further counseling sessions
Because of this, more vacancies could open up before or during Round 3.
Colleges that currently seem full or nearly full might just see new openings, thanks to the movement of candidates.
What Should NRI Candidates Keep an Eye on in Round 3?
If you’re an NRI student looking to participate in Gujarat's NRI counseling, it's crucial to keep an eye on the official vacancy updates before making any decisions.
Here are the key factors to monitor:
1. New Vacancies
When candidates give up their Round 2 seats, they can create fresh openings.
2. Demand by College
The results from Round 2 show that the demand differs quite a bit among institutions. So, it’s smart to look at vacancy trends for individual colleges instead of just focusing on the overall NRI quota.
3. Round 3 Seat Matrix
The official Round 3 seat matrix will lay out a clearer view of which seats are actually up for grabs.
4. Cut-Off Changes
While Round 2 scores are a useful benchmark, keep in mind that the Round 3 cutoff can shift based on the number of candidates, available vacancies, and the choices submitted.
Final Thoughts
The NEET UG Round 2 NRI quota counseling in Gujarat has shown a bit of a mixed bag.
GMERS Sola and GMERS Gandhinagar remain popular, with several seats being reassigned after candidates dropped their Round 1 spots.
On the flip side, GMERS Vadodara had no NRI allotments in Round 2, despite having vacancies, while GMERS Himmatnagar only saw one allotment and still has a considerable number of empty seats.
With more candidate movement expected, the Round 3 vacancy updates will be key for those still seeking an NRI quota MBBS seat in Gujarat.
It's best to rely on the latest official counseling announcements and seat matrices to evaluate your options, since vacancies and cutoffs can shift from round to round.
* Resign from their Round 2 seat
* Opt for another medical college
* Upgrade to a preferred institution
* Engage in further counseling
As a result, there could be shifts and changes in the NRI seat landscape as we move forward.
