What Candidates Allotted a Seat Must Do Next

Candidates who are satisfied with their round 1 allotment must pay the token tuition fee online through the ACPC portal and download their admission letter between July 24 and 26, 2026. This step is mandatory to confirm the seat — failing to pay within the window can result in the seat being cancelled and released for the next round.

Candidates who are not satisfied with their allotted institute or branch have two options during the same window: they can either withdraw/cancel the seat entirely, or float the seat to remain eligible for an upgrade in round 2 while keeping the current seat as a safety net (subject to ACPC's specific round 2 rules being followed).

What Happens Next: Gujarat PGCET Round 2 Counselling 2026

ACPC will publish the institute-wise vacant seat matrix on July 27, 2026, based on seats left over after round 1 confirmations, cancellations and no-shows. This list will form the basis for round 2 choice filling, which typically opens for candidates who floated their seats as well as fresh eligible candidates who registered but did not get a seat in round 1.
