Medical College Vadodara at a glance

The table brings together the official facts a family needs first. Each figure comes from the NMC, the MCC or the college. Our Medical College Baroda college page has the full profile, and the MBBS in India hub covers medical study across the country.

Is Medical College Vadodara recognised by NMC?

Yes. The NMC college and course search lists Medical College, Baroda as a government college with 250 MBBS seats and 1949 as its year of inception. The NMC record describes the seat history in stages:

In plain terms, the MBBS from Medical College Baroda is an Indian degree under an NMC-approved programme. After the degree and internship, a graduate registers with a State Medical Council like any other Indian graduate. The college posts its NMC approval and recognition letters on its NMC related information page.

The college is technically the Faculty of Medicine of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, as its university affiliation page explains. MSU conducts the university exams and awards the MBBS degree. The NMC listing also shows a large postgraduate side, with about 140 MD seats and 71 MS seats across 22 subjects.

Medical College Vadodara MBBS seat matrix 2026

The seat matrix is the official split of seats by quota and category. At Medical College Baroda, about 15 per cent of seats go to the All India Quota. The rest go to Gujarat state counselling. Our web story on All India Quota vs state quota seats explains the two quotas in under a minute.

The MCC Round 1 seat matrix for NEET UG 2026 splits the 37 All India Quota seats as follows:

Who is eligible for MBBS at Medical College Vadodara?

Every route starts with qualifying NEET UG 2026. There is no separate college test or interview. Which seats you can compete for depends on your quota.

Eligibility for the Medical College Vadodara All India Quota

Any Indian candidate who qualified NEET UG 2026 can register for the All India Quota on the MCC UG medical counselling portal. There is no domicile rule for these 37 seats. Candidates from Gujarat can register for both the All India Quota and state counselling.

Eligibility for the Medical College Vadodara state quota

The state seats are filled by the Admission Committee for Professional Under Graduate Medical Courses (ACPUGMEC). ACPUGMEC is the Gujarat body set up under the state's professional medical admission law. It runs admission under the Gujarat Professional Medical Educational Courses admission rules and their amendments, which set who counts as a Gujarat candidate.

Medical College Vadodara NEET cutoff: All India Quota closing ranks

A closing rank is the NEET UG All India Rank of the last candidate allotted a seat in that round. The table shows Medical College Baroda closing ranks. They come from the MCC results for Round 1 2025, Round 3 2025, Round 1 2026 and Round 2 2026. PwD seats are left out, because PwD candidates are compared only with each other.

Three patterns matter. First, Round 1 open ranks were almost the same in both years, at 2,986 and 3,061. Second, each later round moves the cutoff down, as students above take other seats. Third, the 2025 stray vacancy round gave Medical College Baroda open seats up to rank 17,569 and an OBC seat at rank 23,963. Older results sit on the MCC UG archive.

For Round 3 in 2026, the MCC clear vacancy list for Round 3 showed 8 All India Quota seats open at Medical College Baroda before choice filling. They were 3 open, 3 EWS, 1 SC and 1 ST seats. Compare ranks, not marks, between years, because marks shift with the difficulty of each paper. Our guide to marks required for MBBS in NEET explains why, and the NEET college predictor tests your rank against many colleges.

How to get admission to Medical College Vadodara

Admission to the MBBS programme is through NEET UG counselling only. The steps differ by quota.

All India Quota admission through MCC

1. Register on the MCC UG medical counselling portal and pay the registration fee and security deposit.

2. Fill and lock your choices, placing Medical College, Baroda where it sits in your real order of preference.

3. Check the allotment result. In Rounds 1 and 2, choose Freeze to keep the seat, or Float to keep it while asking for a better one.

4. Report in person to Medical College Baroda with original documents within the reporting dates.

Gujarat state quota admission through ACPUGMEC

The ACPUGMEC medical and dental admission page sets out the state process. It runs four state counselling rounds.

1. Buy a PIN and register online on the ACPUGMEC portal, then upload your documents for verification.

2. Check your name and category on the state merit list, and the list of candidates found not eligible, with reasons.

3. Fill your college choices online for each round.

4. If Medical College Baroda is allotted, pay the tuition fee online or at a designated HDFC Bank branch, then report at an ACPUGMEC help centre.

5. Join the college and submit the bond before classes begin.

Not reporting has a cost. ACPUGMEC forfeits the refundable security deposit of candidates who are allotted a seat in Round 2 and do not report, or who cancel their admission. It also removes them from the merit list.

Counselling fees and deposits for Medical College Vadodara

These figures come from the MCC UG Counselling 2026 Information Bulletin. The security deposit is refunded after counselling, unless it is forfeited for not joining a seat allotted in Round 2 or later.

The Medical College Vadodara service bond

Every student joining a Gujarat government medical college signs a bond. The rule comes from Gujarat Health and Family Welfare Department Resolution MCG/1019/SFS-26/J, dated 14 August 2019. Medical College Baroda publishes the MBBS bond format and the MBBS bond undertaking. Their terms are:

• After the MBBS, the student serves the Government of Gujarat for one year, usually in a rural area, at the pay the government sets.

• The total bond value is Rs. 20 lakh. That is a solvency certificate or bank guarantee of Rs. 5 lakh, plus an undertaking of Rs. 15 lakh.

• If the student does not serve as required, the bond amount becomes payable to the Government of Gujarat.

• The bond and solvency certificate are handed to the Dean when the student joins the college.

Documents required for Medical College Vadodara admission

The MCC Information Bulletin lists these originals for All India Quota reporting, with attested photocopies:

• MCC allotment letter, which names the college and the category of the seat.

• NEET UG 2026 admit card and rank letter issued by NTA, the National Testing Agency.

• Class 10 certificate, and a birth certificate if the Class 10 certificate does not show the date of birth.

• Class 12 certificate and mark sheet.

• Eight passport size photographs, the same as on the application form.

• Proof of identity, such as Aadhaar, PAN card, driving licence or passport.

• SC, ST, OBC, EWS or PwD certificate in the prescribed format, where it applies.

Students from either quota also bring the signed bond, the solvency certificate or bank guarantee, and the undertaking to the college on joining.

Our guides to MCC Round 3 registration and the NEET UG 2026 stray vacancy round cover the next steps.

What if you leave a Medical College Vadodara seat?

• In MCC Round 1, a student can decline a seat without losing the security deposit.

• A student allotted an All India Quota seat in Round 2 or later who does not join loses the security deposit.

• A student who joins an All India Quota seat in Round 3 cannot resign and cannot take part in state counselling.

• In Gujarat state counselling, not reporting after a Round 2 allotment, or cancelling admission, forfeits the security deposit.

• Once a student has joined and signed the bond, leaving has further consequences under the bond terms.

Our web story on MCC seat resignation and forfeiture covers the edge cases.

Medical College Vadodara hospital and clinical training

Students train at Sir Sayajirao General (SSG) Hospital, the teaching hospital of Medical College Baroda. The college hospital page gives these figures:

SSG Hospital began in 1865 as the 56-bed Countess of Dufferin Hospital. It was renamed after Maharaja Sayajirao in 1907. The hospital describes itself as the largest referral hospital in central Gujarat. It also takes patients from nearby parts of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

In plain terms, a Medical College Baroda student sees a very large number of patients during training. The trade-off is a busy hospital, where students share faculty time with residents. The college administration page names Dr. R. G. Aiyer, Professor of ENT, as Medical Superintendent of SSG Hospital.

MBBS course and hostels at Medical College Vadodara

The MBBS lasts 4 years and 6 months, followed by a one-year Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI). The course follows the NMC Competency Based Medical Education curriculum, which is the same at every MBBS college in India. Our NExT exam explainer covers the planned licensing exam after the degree.

The college facilities page lists hostel space for 1,134 undergraduate men and 519 undergraduate women. The hostels are on the college campus and on the university campus, about 2 km away. Mess and canteen facilities are available.

If a Medical College Vadodara seat does not come through

Medical College Baroda's open All India Quota seats closed at rank 3,061 in 2026 Round 1, so most qualified students will not reach it. Compare other Gujarat government colleges such as BJ Medical College Ahmedabad, MP Shah Medical College Jamnagar and Government Medical College Surat. The full list of government medical colleges in India helps widen the search.

Some families also look at MBBS abroad. futureMBBS works with 23 partner universities in 9 countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, Latvia, Romania, Cyprus and Lithuania. Our web story on options after NEET without an MBBS seat sets out the routes side by side.

Conclusion

Medical College Vadodara has 250 NMC-approved MBBS seats, 37 of them in the All India Quota for 2026. Round 1 open seats closed near rank 3,000 in both 2025 and 2026. Later rounds reached further, to 7,081 in 2025 Round 3.

A seat here brings training at a 1,250-bed hospital and a Rs. 20 lakh bond with one year of Gujarat government service. For the current round, watch the MCC Round 3 result and the stray vacancy round from 12 October 2026. The NEET cutoffs page helps place your rank.
