Government Medical College & Hospital (GMCH), Chandigarh has published the provisional merit list for ST (Scheduled Tribe) category candidates for BDS counselling in the 2026 admission cycle. This list shows which ST candidates are eligible to participate in the counselling process and their ranking based on NEET UG 2026 scores. If your name appears on this list, you are qualified to proceed to the next stage of seat allocation. You must verify your details, category classification, and rank immediately, as any discrepancies must be reported to the authority before the counselling process moves forward.
Check the provisional ST category merit list for BDS 2026 on the GMCH Chandigarh website to confirm your eligibility and rank for counselling.
What is this merit list?
This is the provisional merit list of ST (Scheduled Tribe) category candidates who have qualified for BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) counselling in Chandigarh for the 2026 admission session. The list is based on NEET UG 2026 scores and shows the ranking of all ST candidates who meet the eligibility criteria set by GMCH Chandigarh.
The word 'provisional' means this list is not final. Candidates must verify their details and report any errors before the authority issues the final list. Once this list is confirmed, eligible candidates will be called for counselling and seat allocation.
Who should check this list?
Any candidate who applied for BDS counselling in Chandigarh and belongs to the ST (Scheduled Tribe) category should check this list. Your name and rank on this list determine whether you are eligible to participate in the counselling process.
If you are an ST category candidate and your name does not appear on this list, it means either your application was not processed, your category certificate was not accepted, or you did not meet the eligibility criteria. In such cases, contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately to clarify your status.

What does 'provisional merit list' mean?
A provisional merit list is a temporary ranking of candidates based on their NEET scores. It is called 'provisional' because it is subject to verification and correction. Candidates can report errors, and the authority will issue a final list after reviewing all complaints. The final list is then used for counselling and seat allocation.
How do I find my name on the ST category merit list?
Visit the GMCH Chandigarh website, download the provisional ST category merit list for BDS 2026, and search for your name or NEET registration number in the PDF. The list will show your rank, NEET score, and category. If you cannot find your name, contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately.
What if my name is not on the ST category merit list?
If your name does not appear on the list, it could mean your application was not processed, your ST category certificate was rejected, or you did not meet the eligibility criteria. Contact GMCH Chandigarh counselling office with your NEET registration number and supporting documents to find out why you were not included.
Can I correct my category if it is shown wrongly on the merit list?
Yes. If your category is shown incorrectly on the provisional merit list, contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately with your valid ST category certificate and request a correction. Report the error before the final list is published so it can be corrected in time for counselling.
Does appearing on the merit list guarantee me a BDS seat?
No. Appearing on the provisional merit list means you are eligible to participate in counselling. It does not guarantee a seat. Your final seat allocation depends on your rank, your choice of college, the number of available seats, and the choices made by other candidates.
When will the final merit list be published?
The notice does not specify the exact date for the final merit list. Monitor the GMCH Chandigarh website regularly for updates. The final list will be published after the authority reviews all error complaints on the provisional list.
What documents do I need to bring for counselling if I am on the merit list?
While the notice does not list specific documents, you should keep your NEET admit card, category certificate (ST), 10th and 12th mark sheets, and any other documents mentioned in the counselling notification ready. GMCH Chandigarh will provide a detailed document checklist when counselling dates are announced.
Is this merit list only for BDS or does it include MBBS?
This provisional merit list is for BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) only. If you applied for MBBS, you will have a separate merit list. Check the GMCH website for the MBBS merit list if applicable.
Can I appeal if I disagree with my rank on the merit list?
The notice does not mention an appeal process for rank disputes. However, if you believe your NEET score was calculated incorrectly or your category was misclassified, contact GMCH Chandigarh with evidence. Report such issues before the final list is published.
What should I do if I find a spelling error in my name on the merit list?
Report the spelling error to GMCH Chandigarh immediately with your NEET admit card as proof. Provide the correct spelling and request a correction. Spelling errors can cause problems during counselling and seat allocation, so correct them as soon as possible.
Check the provisional ST category merit list for BDS 2026 on the GMCH Chandigarh website right away. Verify your name, rank, score, and category details carefully.
