Government Medical College & Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32, Chandigarh has published the merit list for MBBS Batch 2026. This list ranks all eligible candidates who appeared in NEET UG 2026 and applied for admission to MBBS seats in Chandigarh. The merit list is the foundation for seat allotment — your position on it determines which seats you are eligible for in the counselling rounds that follow. You must check the list immediately to confirm your rank, verify your details, and understand your eligibility for the next steps in the admission process.
The MBBS 2026 merit list for Chandigarh is now live; check your rank and details on the GMCH official portal without delay.
What is the Merit List?
The merit list is an official ranking of all candidates who qualified for MBBS admission in Chandigarh based on their NEET UG 2026 score. Every candidate who met the eligibility criteria and submitted a valid application appears on this list in order of merit — highest NEET score first.
Your position on the merit list determines which seats you can be offered during counselling. Candidates ranked higher have first choice of available seats; those ranked lower are offered seats only after higher-ranked candidates have made their selections. This list is binding and forms the basis for all subsequent seat allotment rounds.
Who Should Check the Merit List?
Every candidate who applied for MBBS admission in Chandigarh through the centralized counselling process must check the merit list. This includes candidates from all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, and those with valid EWS or PwD status.
If you submitted your NEET UG 2026 application and registration for Chandigarh MBBS counselling, your name and rank should appear on this list. Check it immediately to confirm your details are correct and your rank is recorded.
How to Access the Merit List
The merit list has been published on the official GMCH Chandigarh website and the centralized counselling portal. Visit the GMCH website (gmch.gov.in) or the designated counselling portal and look for the merit list link under the MBBS 2026 admission section.
You will need your NEET registration number and date of birth (or the login credentials you used during application) to access your individual details. Download or take a screenshot of your merit list entry for your records.
- Go to gmch.gov.in or the official counselling portal
- Navigate to MBBS 2026 admission or counselling section
- Find and open the merit list document or portal
- Search using your NEET registration number or name
- Verify your rank, score, category, and personal details
What Information Will You Find on the Merit List?
The merit list displays your NEET UG 2026 score, your rank among all candidates, your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwD), your name, registration number, and other personal details you provided during application. It also confirms whether you are eligible for counselling and seat allotment.
Check that all information — especially your name, category, and NEET score — matches your NEET admit card and application. Any discrepancy must be reported to the GMCH counselling office immediately.
What to Do If Your Details Are Wrong
If you notice an error in your name, NEET score, category, date of birth, or any other detail on the merit list, contact the GMCH counselling office or the centralized admission authority immediately. Do not wait — errors in category or score can affect your eligibility and seat allotment.
Keep your NEET admit card, application confirmation, and any supporting documents (category certificate, PwD certificate, EWS certificate) ready to prove the correct information. Submit a written request with evidence to the counselling office within the time frame specified in the notice or on the portal.
What Happens After the Merit List?
After the merit list is finalized and any corrections are made, the counselling authority will announce the schedule for seat allotment rounds. Candidates will be called for counselling in order of merit — typically in batches or rounds — to choose their preferred college and course (MBBS or BDS, if applicable).
Your rank on the merit list determines the order in which you get to select your seat. Higher-ranked candidates choose first; lower-ranked candidates choose from the remaining available seats. Watch the official portal for announcements of counselling dates, reporting instructions, and seat allotment results.
Important: Do Not Miss the Next Steps
The merit list is only the first step. Counselling rounds, seat allotment, document verification, and admission confirmation follow. Missing any deadline or failing to report for counselling can result in forfeiture of your seat.

What does my rank on the merit list mean?
Your rank shows your position among all eligible candidates for MBBS admission in Chandigarh, based on your NEET UG 2026 score. A lower rank number (e.g., rank 1) means you scored higher and will get to choose your seat before candidates with higher rank numbers. Your rank determines the order in which you are called for counselling and seat selection.
Why is it important to check the merit list immediately?
You must verify that your name, NEET score, category, and other details are correct on the merit list. Any errors — especially in category or score — can affect your eligibility and seat allotment. If you spot a mistake, report it to GMCH immediately so it can be corrected before counselling begins.
What if my name does not appear on the merit list?
If your name is missing, it could mean your application was not received, was rejected due to incomplete documents, or you did not meet eligibility criteria. Contact the GMCH counselling office with your NEET registration number and application confirmation to find out why. Do not assume you are ineligible — verify the reason first.
Can I appeal or request a correction to my rank?
You cannot appeal your rank itself — it is based on your NEET score, which is final. However, if there is a factual error (wrong score recorded, wrong category listed, wrong name spelling), you can request a correction. Submit a written request with supporting documents (NEET admit card, category certificate, etc.) to the GMCH counselling office within the specified time frame.
Does appearing on the merit list guarantee me a seat?
No. Appearing on the merit list means you are eligible for counselling and seat allotment. However, whether you actually get a seat depends on your rank, your choices during counselling, the number of available seats, and the choices made by higher-ranked candidates. Seats are limited, so lower-ranked candidates may not get a seat if all seats are filled by higher-ranked candidates.
What should I do after checking the merit list?
After verifying your details on the merit list, watch the GMCH website and counselling portal for announcements of counselling dates, reporting instructions, and document requirements. Prepare all required documents (NEET admit card, category certificate, PwD certificate if applicable, etc.) and be ready to report for counselling when called.
Is the merit list the same as the seat allotment result?
No. The merit list ranks all eligible candidates. The seat allotment result, published later, shows which specific seat (college and course) each candidate has been offered based on their rank, choices, and availability. The merit list comes first; seat allotment comes after counselling.
Can I see other candidates' ranks and scores on the merit list?
The merit list is typically published as a full document showing all candidates' ranks, scores, and categories in order. You can see the complete ranking, which helps you understand your position relative to other candidates. This information is public and part of the official admission process.
Check the GMCH Chandigarh merit list on gmch.gov.in or the official counselling portal right away using your NEET registration number. Verify that your name, score, category, and rank are correct. If you find any error, report it to the GMCH counselling office immediately. Keep watching the portal for announcements of counselling dates and next steps — missing a deadline can cost you your seat.
