The Government Medical College & Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32, Chandigarh — the centralized admission authority for MBBS, BDS and BHMS in Chandigarh — has published the merit list for SC (Scheduled Caste) category candidates applying for MBBS seats in the 2026 admission cycle. This merit list ranks all SC category applicants who met the eligibility criteria and appeared in NEET UG 2026. If you applied under the SC category for MBBS in Chandigarh, you must check this list immediately to confirm your rank, eligibility status, and next steps in the counselling process.
The SC category MBBS merit list for Chandigarh NEET UG 2026 is now live — check your rank and status on the GMCH official portal without delay.
What is this merit list?
This is the official merit list published by GMCH Chandigarh for all SC category candidates who applied for MBBS seats in Chandigarh under the NEET UG 2026 admission cycle. The list ranks candidates based on their NEET UG 2026 score and eligibility, in order from highest to lowest rank.
The merit list determines your position in the counselling queue. Your rank on this list will decide the order in which you are called for seat allocation during the counselling rounds. If your name appears on this list, you are eligible to participate in the next stage of the admission process.
Who should check this list?
Any candidate who applied for MBBS admission in Chandigarh under the SC (Scheduled Caste) category for NEET UG 2026 must check this merit list. This includes candidates who submitted their application during the official registration window and provided a valid SC category certificate at the time of application.
If you applied under a different category (General, OBC, ST) or for a different course (BDS, BHMS), this particular list does not apply to you — GMCH will publish separate merit lists for each category and course.
How to find your name and rank
Visit the official GMCH Chandigarh website or the centralized counselling portal for Chandigarh NEET UG 2026. The merit list is published as a document (usually a PDF or searchable table) that lists all SC category candidates in rank order.
Search for your name, roll number, or application ID in the list. The list will show your rank, NEET score, and eligibility status. If your name appears, note your exact rank — this is critical for understanding when you will be called for seat allocation.
If you cannot find your name, it may mean: (1) your application was not processed or was rejected, (2) you did not meet the eligibility criteria, (3) your SC certificate was not accepted, or (4) there was an error in your application data. Contact GMCH immediately if you believe your name should be on the list.
What happens after the merit list?
After the merit list is published, GMCH will announce the dates and process for counselling rounds. Candidates ranked on the merit list will be called for seat allocation in order of their rank. During counselling, you will be offered available MBBS seats based on your rank, your choices of college, and the number of seats available in each college.
You must keep checking the GMCH website and your registered email and phone number for updates on counselling dates, reporting instructions, and seat allotment results. Missing a counselling date or deadline can result in forfeiture of your seat.
Important: SC category certificate requirements
Your appearance on this merit list confirms that your SC category certificate was accepted by GMCH at the time of application verification. However, you must bring the original SC certificate and all supporting documents to the counselling centre on the date you are called for seat allocation.
If your SC certificate is found to be invalid, forged, or does not meet the legal requirements at the time of document verification during counselling, your seat allocation may be cancelled and you may be removed from the admission process. Ensure your certificate is issued by the competent authority and is current.
Common reasons a name may not appear on the merit list
Your application was incomplete or not submitted within the deadline. Your NEET UG 2026 score was below the cutoff set by GMCH for SC category candidates. Your SC category certificate was rejected during verification — either because it was not issued by the competent authority, was expired, or did not contain required information. You did not meet other eligibility criteria (e.g., age, educational qualification, domicile).
If you believe your name should be on the list, contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately with your application ID and supporting documents. Do not wait — the counselling process moves quickly.
Where to find the official merit list
The merit list is published on the official GMCH Chandigarh website (gmch.gov.in) and on the centralized counselling portal for Chandigarh NEET UG 2026. The document is typically available as a downloadable PDF or as a searchable online list.
Do not rely on unofficial websites, social media posts, or third-party apps to check your rank. Always verify your status on the official GMCH portal or website to avoid confusion or misinformation.
What to do next
Step 1: Check the merit list immediately on the official GMCH website. Search for your name and note your rank. Step 2: If your name is on the list, prepare all required documents (SC certificate, NEET admit card, ID proof, educational certificates) for counselling. Step 3: Watch for the counselling schedule announcement — it will specify the dates, times, and venues for seat allocation. Step 4: Report on time with all original documents when your rank is called.
If your name is not on the list and you believe it should be, contact GMCH Chandigarh with your application ID and documents as soon as possible. Do not assume you are ineligible — verify with the authority directly.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What does it mean if my name is on the SC category merit list?
It means your SC category certificate was accepted, your NEET UG 2026 score met the eligibility threshold, and you are qualified to participate in the counselling process. Your rank on the list determines the order in which you will be offered available MBBS seats. You must now wait for the counselling schedule and report with all required documents when called.
Why is my name not on the SC category merit list?
Your name may not appear if: your application was incomplete or late, your NEET score was below the cutoff, your SC certificate was rejected or invalid, you did not meet other eligibility criteria, or there was an error in your application data. Contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately with your application ID to find out the exact reason.
What is my rank and how does it affect seat allocation?
Your rank is your position on the merit list, determined by your NEET UG 2026 score and eligibility. During counselling, candidates are called for seat allocation in rank order — the higher your rank (lower number), the earlier you will be offered a seat. Your rank also determines which colleges and seats you are eligible for, based on availability.
When will counselling happen after the merit list is published?
The merit list publication date and the counselling schedule are separate announcements. GMCH will publish the counselling dates, times, and venues in a separate notice after the merit list is finalized. Check the GMCH website regularly and watch your registered email and phone for updates.
Do I need to do anything after seeing my name on the merit list?
Yes. Prepare all original documents (SC certificate, NEET admit card, ID proof, educational certificates, passport-size photos) and keep them ready. Watch for the counselling schedule announcement. When your rank is called, report to the counselling centre on time with all documents. Missing your counselling date will result in forfeiture of your seat.
What if my SC certificate is found to be invalid during counselling?
If your SC certificate is found to be forged, expired, or not issued by the competent authority, your seat allocation will be cancelled and you will be removed from the admission process. Ensure your certificate is valid, current, and issued by the correct authority before counselling.
Can I check the merit list on my phone or do I need a computer?
You can check the merit list on any device — phone, tablet, or computer — as long as you have internet access and visit the official GMCH website or counselling portal. The list is usually available as a PDF or searchable online document.
Is this merit list final or can it change?
The merit list is published after verification of applications and eligibility. However, if errors are found or if candidates are removed due to invalid documents or ineligibility, GMCH may publish a revised merit list. Always check the official website for any updates or corrections.
What if I applied for MBBS but my name is on the BDS or BHMS merit list instead?
This would indicate an error in your application or in how your choice was recorded. Contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately with your application ID and proof of your intended course. Do not assume the error will be corrected automatically — report it to the authority right away.
Can I appeal or request a review if I disagree with my rank?
Your rank is determined by your NEET UG 2026 score, which is set by the national examination authority and cannot be changed. However, if you believe there is an error in how your application was processed or your eligibility was assessed, contact GMCH Chandigarh with supporting documents. Follow the official grievance procedure outlined on the GMCH website.
Check the SC category MBBS merit list on the official GMCH Chandigarh website immediately. If your name appears, note your rank and prepare all required documents for counselling. If your name is missing and you believe it should be there, contact GMCH without delay with your application ID. Watch the GMCH website closely for the counselling schedule announcement — missing a counselling date will cost you your seat.
