Gujarat NEET UG Counselling 2026: Round 4 is officially underway in Gujarat, offering another shot for those who haven’t landed an MBBS seat yet. The state has detailed eligibility criteria and still has NRI seats available for this round.
Importantly, candidates who didn't register in the earlier rounds can now register for Round 4, provided they meet the necessary eligibility requirements.
Who Can Participate in Gujarat Round 4?
The latest counselling update outlines that the following candidates are eligible for Round 4:
- Candidates who have not been allocated a seat in previous rounds.
- Candidates who were assigned a seat but withdrew after losing their security deposit.
- Eligible candidates interested in the NRI category.
- Candidates who haven’t registered in Gujarat before, as long as they meet the eligibility criteria.
It’s crucial for candidates to review the official Gujarat counselling notification before assuming they’re eligible—especially if they’ve previously accepted, resigned, or forfeited a seat.
NRI Seats Still Open in Round 4
One key aspect of Gujarat Round 4 is that NRI seats are still available.
This gives NRI candidates who missed out earlier another chance to participate. Candidates should check the latest seat matrix before making their choices, since the number and type of available seats can shift during the counselling process.
Important Dates for Gujarat Round 4 2026
Here’s the timeline according to the counselling update:
| Couselling Activity | Date & Time |
|---|---|
| PIN Purchase begins | 14th October 2026 |
| PIN Purchase Deadline | 17th October 2026, 8:00 AM |
| Document Verification at Help Cemters begins | 16th October 2026, 10:00 AM |
| Document Verification Deadline | 17th October 2026, 12:00 PM |
| Registration Deadline | 17th October 2026, 10:00 AM |
The deadlines are quite tight, especially for first-time registrants.
1. PIN Purchase: 14–17 October
Before registering, candidates must buy the required PIN.
You can get your PIN from 14 October 2026 to 17 October 2026 at 8:00 AM. It’s best not to wait until the last minute, as any technical or payment issues could hinder the process.
2. Fresh Registration: Until 17 October at 10 AM
Candidates who haven’t registered before are welcome to participate in Round 4 registration.
The deadline for registration is 17 October 2026, at 10:00 AM. Given the short registration window, eligible candidates should aim to complete this step as soon as possible.
3. Document Verification at Help Centres
Document verification will be conducted at specific Help Centres.
This will take place from 16 October 2026, 10:00 AM to 17 October 2026, 12:00 PM.
Make sure you have all necessary original documents and copies on hand when you go to the Help Centre. NRI candidates especially need to ensure their documentation meets the eligibility requirements for NRI seats.
Why Round 4 Matters
Round 4 is crucial for candidates still seeking a seat after earlier rounds. The presence of NRI seats adds a valuable option for eligible NRI candidates, while opening up registration for new candidates could widen participation in this round.
Keep in mind that just because seats are available, it doesn’t guarantee allotment. The final allotment hinges on several factors, including:
- Candidate merit
- Category
- Available seats
- Preference choices
- Eligibility
- Counselling rules
Candidates Should Move Quickly
The standout feature of Gujarat Round 4 is the very short timeline.
If you want to participate, you’ll need to tackle several steps in just a few days:
PIN Purchase → Registration → Document Verification → Choice Filling → Allotment
Missing even one step can derail your chances. So, keep your documents ready and stay updated via the official counselling portal.
What About Candidates With Lower Scores?
The counselling update mentions that candidates with lower NEET scores and around ₹70 lakh for tuition fees might still find options in Rajasthan or some southern states.
However, these opportunities can vary widely by college, category, and round. It’s essential to verify the actual fee structures and seat availability.
Final Takeaway
Gujarat NEET UG Round 4 is here, giving eligible candidates a shot at securing an MBBS seat—even those who missed earlier rounds of counselling.
For NRI candidates, the ongoing availability of NRI seats is especially important.
Keep these key dates in mind:
- 14 October: PIN purchase starts
- 16 October: Document verification kicks off
- 17 October, 8:00 AM: PIN purchase ends
- 17 October, 10:00 AM: Registration wraps up
- 17 October, 12:00 PM: Document verification closes
With such tight deadlines, it’s crucial to get everything done early and double-check all your details against the latest official notification from Gujarat counselling.
