For NEET 2026 NRI MBBS admission in Gujarat, the first number families should check is the official NEET qualifying cutoff. ACPUGMEC lists a minimum score of 213 for OPEN/EWS candidates, 194 for PwD candidates under OPEN/EWS, and 177 for SC/ST/SEBC and category-PwD candidates.
These are NEET eligibility cutoffs, not college admission cutoffs. An OPEN NRI candidate scoring 213 clears the NEET requirement, but that does not mean the candidate is guaranteed an NRI seat at GMERS Sola, GMERS Gotri, NHL Municipal Medical College, SMIMER or any other Gujarat medical college.
The major Gujarat update is that ACPUGMEC released the Revised Provisional NRI Merit List and NRI Report on 23 August 2026. Round 1 choice-filling information and the tentative medical seat matrix were also published on the same day.
| 2026 Gujarat NRI Cut-Off Check | Current Position |
|---|---|
| OPEN / EWS NEET eligibility | 213 marks |
| PwD – OPEN / EWS eligibility | 194 marks |
| SC / ST / SEBC and Category-PwD eligibility | 177 marks |
| Revised Provisional NRI Merit List 2026 | Released on 23 August 2026 |
| Round 1 choice-filling information | Released on 23 August 2026 |
| 2026 college-wise NRI closing cutoff | Not yet officially established as of 24 August 2026 |
| Who conducts Gujarat NRI counselling? | ACPUGMEC |
| Can USA-based NRI/OCI candidates apply? | Yes, subject to NEET qualification and Gujarat NRI documentation requirements |
Important: The Gujarat NRI merit number and the college-wise NRI closing rank are two different things. The merit list ranks eligible NRI candidates before allotment. A college closing cutoff is known only after ACPUGMEC actually allots seats.

Get NRI Cut-Off Analysis Join NEET WhatsApp UpdatesThe Gujarat NRI cut-off can refer to more than one number. For parents following counselling from the United States, this distinction is important because each number answers a different admission question.
This is the minimum NEET score required to remain eligible for MBBS admission. For an OPEN/EWS candidate in Gujarat in 2026, that floor is 213.
This is the merit position, AIR or score of the last candidate actually allotted an NRI seat at a particular Gujarat medical college in a counselling round. It becomes available only after allotment.
There is also a third number that Gujarat families now have: the NRI merit number. ACPUGMEC published the revised provisional NRI merit list on 23 August 2026. Your merit number tells you where you stand in the approved NRI pool before seat allotment.
For a family in New Jersey, Texas, California, Illinois or elsewhere in the United States, the practical question is therefore not only “Did my child qualify NEET?” It is also “What is the child’s Gujarat NRI merit position, and how does that position compare with the NRI seats we are selecting?”
For the broader eligibility rules, read our NEET eligibility guide for NRI, OCI and PIO students .
ACPUGMEC lists the following NEET UG 2026 qualifying scores for MBBS admission in Gujarat. An NRI applicant must first satisfy the applicable NEET requirement before an NRI merit position or college choice can lead to admission.
| Candidate Category | NEET Percentile | 2026 Minimum Score | What It Means for Gujarat NRI Admission |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPEN / EWS | 50th percentile | 213 | 213 or above clears the NEET eligibility floor, but does not guarantee an NRI medical college. |
| PwD – OPEN / EWS | 45th percentile | 194 | 194 satisfies the stated NEET qualifying threshold for this category. |
| SC / ST / SEBC and Category-PwD | 40th percentile | 177 | 177 is the applicable qualifying threshold. NRI allotment is still controlled by merit and quota-specific rules. |
A candidate may qualify NEET and still miss a preferred college because admission depends on NRI merit, the 2026 NRI seat matrix, the candidate’s choice order and competition for each institution.
213 is enough for an OPEN/EWS candidate to meet the official NEET 2026 qualifying threshold, but it is not enough to promise an NRI MBBS seat in Gujarat.
The actual Gujarat NRI closing rank and closing score for each medical college will emerge only after ACPUGMEC releases the applicable 2026 allotment results and institute-wise last-rank information.
Families trying to convert a score into realistic college options can also use our medical colleges for NRI students based on NEET score guide , while using the 2026 ACPUGMEC merit and allotment data as the final reference for Gujarat.
Understand how NEET scores relate to NRI-quota MBBS admission and why simply qualifying NEET does not guarantee a particular Gujarat medical college.
▶ Watch VideoThis is one of the most important points for families finding old Gujarat NRI cutoff tables through Google.
In NEET 2025, the General/EWS qualifying cutoff was 144. In 2026, the corresponding minimum is 213. That is a 69-mark increase in the eligibility floor itself.
| NEET Eligibility Category | 2025 Minimum | 2026 Minimum | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPEN / EWS | 144 | 213 | +69 |
| PwD – OPEN / EWS | 127 | 194 | +67 |
| SC / ST / SEBC | 113 | 177 | +64 |
Suppose a 2025 Gujarat NRI cutoff table shows that a particular OPEN NRI seat reached 190 marks. An OPEN/EWS candidate scoring 190 in NEET 2026 cannot use that old cutoff as an admission target because 190 is below the official 2026 qualifying floor of 213.
This is why previous-year Gujarat cutoff data should be treated as historical counselling evidence rather than copied directly into a 2026 college shortlist. For broader score-based comparisons, see medical colleges for NRI students based on NEET score .
As of 24 August 2026, Gujarat has already released the revised provisional NRI merit information, but an official college-wise 2026 NRI closing cutoff is still not available because the first allotment has not yet established those closing ranks.
This means Gujarat is one stage ahead of states where the NRI merit list itself is still awaited. USA-based families can now work with the candidate’s actual Gujarat NRI merit position while preparing Round 1 choices.
| 2026 Gujarat NRI Data Point | Status on 24 Aug 2026 | Why It Matters for the Cut-Off |
|---|---|---|
| NEET qualifying cutoff | Released | Sets the minimum NEET eligibility floor. |
| Provisional MBBS/BDS merit list | Published 16 Aug 2026 | At that stage NRI verification was still underway. |
| Revised provisional merit update | Published 20 Aug 2026 | ACPUGMEC again stated that NRI verification was continuing. |
| Revised Provisional NRI Merit | Released 23 Aug 2026 at 1:50 PM | Candidates can now check their Gujarat NRI merit position. |
| NRI Report | Released 23 Aug 2026 | Useful for checking the NRI-category verification outcome. |
| Tentative Medical Seat Matrix | Published 23 Aug 2026 | Shows current seat availability for choice planning. |
| Round 1 choice-filling information | Published 23 Aug 2026 at 3:00 PM | Candidates can now build their Round 1 preference order. |
| College-wise NRI closing cutoff 2026 | Not yet verifiable | The first genuine 2026 college closing ranks will come from allotment data. |
After ACPUGMEC releases the first-round allotment and institute-wise last-rank information, add the college name, NRI quota, last allotted Gujarat merit number or NEET AIR, closing score and counselling round. Until then, any precise 2026 college cutoff would be an estimate rather than an official result.
The Gujarat NRI admission cutoff is not fixed before counselling. It develops as ACPUGMEC processes eligible NRI candidates, available seats and online choices.
NRI quota admission is based on merit after the candidate satisfies the applicable eligibility and verification requirements.
The number of NRI seats available at each GMERS, municipal or self-financed college determines how far allotment can move.
Higher-demand colleges can close at a stronger merit position than less frequently selected institutions.
Candidates should list colleges in their true order of preference. A previous-year cutoff cannot repair a poorly constructed choice list.
Gujarat states that vacant NRI seats can be converted to Management Quota seats during Round 2, so the same NRI inventory should not be assumed to remain available indefinitely.
A strong NEET score cannot compensate for an NRI claim that does not satisfy ACPUGMEC’s document-verification requirements.
For a broader explanation of round-wise seat movement, see our NEET NRI seat allotment Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3 guide .
Yes, subject to Gujarat’s applicable NRI eligibility and documentation rules. ACPUGMEC’s NRI process recognises eligible NRI candidates and children of NRIs, while OCI card holders can also be considered under the applicable quota rules.
This is especially important for students completing high school in the United States. The Gujarat conditions that apply to Government Quota or Management Quota should not automatically be assumed to be identical to the NRI quota route.
A candidate who lives abroad should not assume that overseas residence alone creates an approved Gujarat NRI category. ACPUGMEC conducts a separate NRI document-verification process, and only eligible candidates are included in the NRI merit pool.
If your child studies in the United States, also review how NRI students in the USA apply for NEET and MBBS admission and our NEET domicile guide for NRI families .
A U.S.-based family should clear three separate checks before treating a Gujarat NRI cutoff as usable.
The candidate must meet the applicable 2026 NEET qualifying score. For OPEN/EWS candidates, that means at least 213.
The candidate’s NRI claim must satisfy ACPUGMEC’s prescribed documentation and verification process. The NRI merit list is prepared only after this eligibility check.
Students who completed Class 12 or an equivalent qualification under a foreign board should check Gujarat’s transcript, marks-conversion and equivalence-certificate requirements before reporting.
U.S. transcripts often use credits, letter grades or GPA rather than an Indian-style marksheet. Where the foreign qualification requires a transcript, marks details or equivalence certificate, resolve that requirement before assuming the academic file is complete.
For the 2026-27 admission process, Gujarat uses a specific NRI verification procedure. This directly affects cutoff usability because a candidate cannot convert a competitive NEET score into an NRI allotment unless the NRI claim is accepted.
The Gujarat NRI documentation is centred on the NRI student and/or NRI parent. Where a legal guardian is relevant under the applicable rule, the family should use the current prescribed undertaking and documentary route rather than assuming that any distant relative can automatically act as an NRI sponsor.
For broader sponsorship planning, see NRI sponsorship rules for NEET 2026 . For the Gujarat application itself, ACPUGMEC’s current NRI instructions should take priority.

| Document | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Printout of Gujarat online application | Connects the physical NRI verification file with the candidate’s online registration. |
| NEET UG 2026 marksheet | Confirms the candidate’s qualifying score and NEET merit. |
| Class 10 and Class 12 / equivalent academic records | Establishes academic eligibility for MBBS admission. |
| Transcript for foreign-board student | Important for USA-based candidates where the qualifying examination is under a foreign educational system. |
| Equivalence certificate, where applicable | Used where the Class 12 or equivalent qualification is from an applicable foreign board or university. |
| Passport of NRI student / NRI parent | Gujarat’s NRI checklist requires the applicable passport documentation, including clear copies of the required pages. |
| Old passport, where required after recent renewal | Can help establish travel and NRI-status history when a new passport has recently been issued. |
| NRI status certificate | The current NRI process calls for status documentation through the applicable Indian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate. |
| OCI / PIO / PR / citizenship / resident documents, where applicable | Supports the candidate or parent’s overseas immigration and origin status. |
| Indian and foreign address proof | Forms part of the overseas-residence verification where applicable. |
| NRI fee undertaking | Gujarat’s NRI documentation includes the prescribed undertaking relating to NRI-seat fees. |
For a more general preparation checklist, see documents required for NRI NEET and MBBS admission . For the Gujarat application itself, follow the current ACPUGMEC checklist where it differs from a general NRI document list.

▶ Watch VideoFees can influence college demand and therefore indirectly influence closing ranks, but families should not choose a Gujarat NRI medical college using a cutoff table alone.
The registration payments should also be separated from actual MBBS tuition.
| Fee / Financial Item | 2026 Gujarat Position | Important Distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Online PIN / registration payment | ₹11,000 total: ₹1,000 non-refundable registration fee + ₹10,000 refundable security deposit | This begins the counselling process. It is not college tuition. |
| NRI processing fee | ₹10,000 Demand Draft in favour of ACPUGMEC, payable at Gandhinagar, under the current NRI process | This is separate from the ₹10,000 refundable security deposit. |
| MBBS NRI tuition | Varies by college and is provided through the applicable Gujarat fee information | Always check the exact 2026 fee for the college before locking choices or making payment. |
| Vacant NRI seat converted to Management Quota | Gujarat states that applicable vacant NRI seats may be filled as Management Quota seats with Management Quota fees in Round 2 | The later-round payable fee may depend on the quota under which the seat is finally allotted. |
GMERS, municipal and self-financed colleges can have different NRI fee structures. Always match the candidate’s actual choice with the current college-specific fee information.
You can review the broader Gujarat NRI medical college seats and fee guide and NRI quota fees in private medical colleges for wider budgeting context.
The 2025 Gujarat NRI cutoff is still useful, but it should be treated as historical counselling evidence rather than a 2026 promise.
For a wider Gujarat seat comparison, use our Gujarat NRI MBBS seats and fee guide together with current-year allotment information.

The cutoff sheet covers major NRI MBBS admission states including Gujarat, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana, with state-wise NRI cutoff references for comparison.
The following are illustrative counselling scenarios, not actual 2026 allotments. They show how the current Gujarat data should be interpreted.
Candidate: OPEN NRI applicant
Even if the family finds an older Gujarat NRI cutoff below 205, the candidate does not meet the 2026 OPEN/EWS qualifying floor of 213. Historical low cutoffs cannot override current-year NEET eligibility.
Candidate: OPEN NRI applicant
The candidate clears the 213 eligibility floor. If the NRI documentation has been accepted, the family should now check the candidate’s Gujarat NRI merit position and construct Round 1 choices. It is still too early to call 260 a guaranteed GMERS or private-college cutoff.
Candidate: U.S.-educated OCI applicant
The score clears the OPEN eligibility threshold, but the family still needs the correct OCI/NRI documentation and the applicable Gujarat transcript and equivalence documents for the U.S. qualification.

Student results and success stories can help USA families understand how structured preparation, regular testing, revision support and guidance can work alongside a U.S. school schedule. Individual outcomes vary, so these examples should be viewed as student experiences rather than score guarantees.
NRI quota does not remove the requirement to qualify NEET. If a student has fallen below the applicable 2026 cutoff or is preparing for a future NEET attempt, the next priority is improving the score rather than depending on a lower quota cutoff.
TestPrepKart’s NEET courses combine live teaching, structured syllabus coverage, timed testing and performance analysis while allowing students to continue independent study. Recordings of completed live sessions are available for revision and genuine missed-class support.

For NEET 2026 NRI admission in Gujarat, remember these distinctions:
For 2026, the official qualifying minimum is already known: 213 for OPEN/EWS, 194 for PwD OPEN/EWS, and 177 for SC/ST/SEBC and category-PwD candidates.
The Gujarat NRI merit information is also now available. ACPUGMEC published the Revised Provisional NRI Merit and NRI Report on 23 August 2026, followed by Round 1 choice-filling information and the tentative medical seat matrix.
What is not yet available is the actual 2026 college-wise NRI closing score or rank. USA-based families should therefore check the candidate’s NRI merit position, verify the foreign-school and NRI documents, compare the current seat matrix and fees, and use old cutoffs only as historical context.
