    ACPC counselling, seat movement and verification

    ACPC runs the online counselling process on gujacpc.admissions.nic.in for GUJCET-based admissions. Choice filling and locking must be done before the published deadline in 2026 counselling rounds. TFWS seats and reserved-category seats can extend admission to higher ranks; income and caste certificates are required at verification. One missing document can void your allotment.

    • GEC Bharuch reached 15,000–16,000 in later rounds.
    • Mid-tier colleges showed roughly 6–10% cutoff expansion after Round 1.
    • Top colleges varied ~2–7% across rounds.
    • Private colleges like Indus and LJ extended into the 18,000–19,000 range in vacancy rounds.
