The Government Medical College & Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32, Chandigarh — the centralized admission authority for MBBS, BDS and BHMS in Chandigarh — has published a deficiency list for MBBS 2026 applicants. This list shows which candidates have incomplete or missing documents in their admission applications. If your name appears on this list, you must submit the required documents immediately. The deadline is 18 August 2026 at 5:30 PM. Submissions must be made by email to bscmbbs2026@gmail.com. If you do not submit the missing documents by this date and time, your candidature will be rejected and you will lose your seat.
Check the deficiency list now; if your name is on it, email your missing documents to bscmbbs2026@gmail.com by 18 August 2026, 5:30 PM, or your admission will be cancelled.
What is the deficiency list?
After GMCH Chandigarh reviewed all applications for MBBS admission in 2026, the authority identified candidates whose files were incomplete. Some applicants had not submitted all the required documents, or the documents they submitted did not meet the specifications (for example, a certificate issued on the wrong date, or a category certificate missing a required sub-group code).
The deficiency list is a document that names these candidates and specifies exactly which documents are missing or incorrect for each one. If your name appears on this list, it does not mean your application is rejected — it means you have a chance to fix the problem and complete your file. But you must act fast: the deadline is firm.
How to check if your name is on the list
The deficiency list has been published by GMCH Chandigarh. You must download and carefully read the full document from the official GMCH website or the link provided by the admission authority. Search for your name, roll number, or application ID in the list.
Read the deficiency column next to your name very carefully. It will tell you exactly which document or information is missing or incorrect. Do not assume — the specific deficiency listed against your name is what you must fix.
- Visit the official GMCH Chandigarh website or the admission portal
- Download the deficiency list PDF
- Search for your name, roll number, or application ID
- Note the exact deficiency mentioned against your entry
- If your name does not appear, your file is complete — no action needed
What documents must you submit?
The deficiency list specifies which document or information is missing for each candidate. Common deficiencies include: a category certificate (SC/ST/OBC) that is missing or does not show the required sub-group code; a domicile or residence certificate issued on the wrong date or in the wrong format; a medical fitness certificate; proof of age; proof of qualification (10+2 mark sheet or certificate); or a caste validity certificate.
You must submit ONLY the document or information listed against your name. Do not submit extra documents — submit exactly what the deficiency list says is missing. If the deficiency says 'Category certificate with sub-group code', you must provide a category certificate that clearly shows the sub-group code (for example, 'SC-A' or 'OBC-NCL'). If it says 'Domicile certificate issued on or after [date]', the certificate must be issued on or after that date, or it will be rejected.
- Read the deficiency column carefully — it tells you exactly what is missing
- Gather the correct document in the correct format
- Ensure the document meets all specifications (date issued, sub-group code, issuing authority, etc.)
- Do not submit documents that are not listed as deficient
How to submit the missing documents
You must submit the missing documents by email only. The email address is: bscmbbs2026@gmail.com. Do not submit documents in person, by post, or through any other method — email is the only accepted mode.
In your email, include your name, application ID or roll number, and a clear subject line such as 'Document Submission — [Your Name] — [Application ID]'. Attach scanned copies of the missing documents as PDF files. Make sure the scans are clear and legible — blurry or illegible documents may be rejected.
Send the email before 5:30 PM on 18 August 2026. The deadline is strict. Emails received after 5:30 PM on that date will not be accepted. Keep a copy of your email and the timestamp for your records.

Common mistakes that get applications rejected
Many candidates lose their seats because they make preventable mistakes. Here are the most common ones:
**Wrong certificate type or format**: If the deficiency says 'Category certificate', do not submit a caste certificate from a different state or an old certificate. It must be a valid, current category certificate issued by the competent authority in Chandigarh or your home state, and it must clearly show the sub-group code (SC, ST, OBC-NCL, OBC-NCL-A, etc.).
**Certificate issued on the wrong date**: If the deficiency specifies 'Certificate issued on or after [date]', the certificate must be issued on or after that exact date. A certificate issued before that date will be rejected, even if it is only one day earlier.
**Blurry or illegible scans**: If your PDF scan is unclear, the authority may not be able to read it and will reject it. Scan at high resolution (at least 300 DPI) and ensure all text is legible.
**Submitting to the wrong email address**: The only email address is bscmbbs2026@gmail.com. If you send documents to any other email, they will not be received.
**Submitting after the deadline**: Even if you send the email at 5:31 PM on 18 August, it will be rejected. The deadline is 5:30 PM, not 5:31 PM or 6:00 PM.
- Ensure the certificate type matches the deficiency exactly
- Check the issue date — it must meet the date requirement specified
- Scan documents clearly at high resolution
- Use only the official email address: bscmbbs2026@gmail.com
- Submit well before the deadline — do not wait until the last minute
- Include your name and application ID in the email
If your name does NOT appear on the deficiency list
If you have searched the deficiency list carefully and your name does not appear, it means your application file is complete and all required documents have been received and verified. You do not need to submit anything further at this stage.
Continue to monitor the official GMCH website and admission portal for the next steps in the counselling process, such as merit list publication, seat allotment, and reporting dates.
- No action needed if your name is not on the list
- Your file is complete
- Watch for the next counselling announcement

What does it mean if my name is on the deficiency list?
It means your application file is incomplete — one or more required documents are missing or incorrect. It does not mean your application is rejected.

How do I know exactly which document I need to submit?
The deficiency list specifies the exact deficiency against your name. Read it carefully.

What if my category certificate does not show the sub-group code?
If the deficiency list says 'Category certificate with sub-group code', your certificate must clearly show the sub-group code (for example, 'SC', 'ST', 'OBC-NCL', or 'OBC-NCL-A'). A certificate without the sub-group code will be rejected. Obtain a corrected certificate from the issuing authority if needed.
What if the document I have was issued before the date specified in the deficiency?
If the deficiency specifies a date (for example, 'Certificate issued on or after 01-01-2024'), the document must be issued on or after that date. A document issued before that date will be rejected. You must obtain a new certificate issued on or after the specified date.
Can I submit documents on behalf of another candidate?
The notice does not mention this. Each candidate should submit their own documents from their own email or through their own application. Contact GMCH Chandigarh if you have a special circumstance.
