85% of seats in government medical colleges, GMERS colleges, and private medical colleges are reserved exclusively for candidates possessing a Gujarat Domicile and who have completed their Class 10 and 12 schooling within the state of Gujarat. Domicile rules in Gujarat are highly strict, making it a very protective counseling layout for local candidates.
Gujarat private medical colleges offer Management Quota seats. However, Gujarat is a **"Closed State"**, meaning that non-domicile candidates are not permitted to register or claim management quota seats in private institutions. These seats are exclusively filled by Gujarat domicile candidates. Non-domiciles can only apply under the NRI quota seats (15% matrix) by paying standard dollar-denominated fees defined by the committee.
