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 OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes – Non-Creamy Layer) candidates applying for MBBS seats in 2026. This list ranks all eligible OBC-NCL applicants by their NEET UG 2026 score and determines the order in which they will be offered seats during counselling. If you applied under the OBC-NCL category for MBBS in Chandigarh, you must check this list immediately to confirm your rank, verify your eligibility, and prepare for the next stage of seat allocation.
The OBC-NCL merit list for Chandigarh MBBS 2026 is now live — check your rank at gmch.gov.in and verify all your details are correct.
What is this merit list?
This is the official merit list published by GMCH Chandigarh for all OBC-NCL candidates who have applied for MBBS seats in the 2026 admission cycle. The list ranks candidates by their NEET UG 2026 score in descending order — highest score first. Your position on this list determines the order in which you will be offered a seat during the counselling process.
The merit list is the foundation of seat allocation. Only candidates whose names appear on this list are eligible to participate in counselling and receive a seat. If your name is missing or your details are wrong, you must report it immediately to GMCH.
Who appears on this list?
This list includes all candidates who applied for MBBS in Chandigarh under the OBC-NCL category and met the eligibility criteria set by GMCH and the National Medical Commission (NMC). To be on this list, you must have:
• Qualified NEET UG 2026 with a valid score • Applied for MBBS in Chandigarh during the application window • Selected OBC-NCL as your category • Provided valid OBC-NCL documentation (certificate issued by the competent authority, showing non-creamy layer status where applicable) • Met all other eligibility requirements (Indian citizenship, age, educational qualification)
How to check your rank and details
Visit the official GMCH Chandigarh website at gmch.gov.in and locate the merit list link for OBC-NCL MBBS 2026. Download or view the list and search for your name, roll number, or application ID. The list will show your rank, NEET score, and category.
Carefully verify that all your details — name, date of birth, category, score — are exactly as you submitted them. Even a small error (a spelling mistake in your name, wrong date of birth, or incorrect category) can cause problems during seat allocation and must be corrected immediately.
What if your name is missing or details are wrong?
If your name does not appear on the merit list, or if any of your details are incorrect, contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately. Do not wait — errors must be reported and corrected before counselling begins. The contact details and grievance procedure should be available on the GMCH website or in the admission notification.
Common reasons for missing names include: application not submitted successfully, NEET score not linked to your application, category certificate not uploaded or rejected, or eligibility criteria not met. Verify your application status first, then reach out to GMCH with proof of your application and any supporting documents.
What happens next after the merit list?
After the merit list is finalized and all corrections are made, GMCH will announce the counselling schedule. Counselling is the process where you will be offered a seat based on your rank on this merit list, your choices of college and course, and the availability of seats. You will need to register for counselling, fill in your preferences, and then seats will be allocated in order of merit.
Keep checking the GMCH website regularly for announcements about counselling dates, registration windows, and the seat allocation process. Missing a deadline can result in losing your seat.
Important: verify your OBC-NCL category certificate
Your appearance on this merit list confirms that GMCH has accepted your OBC-NCL category certificate as valid. However, this acceptance is provisional — your category may be verified again during document verification at the time of seat allocation or admission. Ensure your certificate is genuine, issued by the competent authority (District Magistrate or equivalent), and clearly states your non-creamy layer status if required.
If your certificate is found to be invalid or forged at any stage, you may lose your seat and face legal consequences. If you have any doubt about your certificate, consult the issuing authority or a legal advisor before proceeding.
Keep your documents ready
From now until admission, keep all your original documents safe and organized. You will need to produce them during counselling registration, seat allocation, and final admission. Essential documents include: NEET admit card and score card, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, OBC-NCL category certificate, Aadhaar card, passport or PAN, medical fitness certificate (if required), and any other documents mentioned in the admission notification.
Make photocopies of all documents and keep them with you. Do not send originals by post unless specifically instructed by GMCH.

What does it mean if my name is on the OBC-NCL merit list?
It means GMCH has verified that you are eligible to participate in counselling for MBBS seats in Chandigarh under the OBC-NCL category. Your rank on this list determines the order in which you will be offered a seat. The higher your rank (lower number), the better your chances of getting a seat in your preferred college.
Can I check the merit list online, or do I have to visit GMCH in person?
The merit list is published online on the GMCH website (gmch.gov.in). You can check it from anywhere using your computer or phone. You do not need to visit GMCH in person to view the list.
What should I do if I find an error in my name or details on the merit list?
Contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately with proof of your application and the error you have found. Provide your application ID, roll number, and a clear explanation of what is wrong. GMCH will investigate and correct genuine errors before counselling begins. Do not ignore errors — they can cause your seat to be cancelled.
If my name is on the merit list, am I guaranteed a seat?
No. Being on the merit list means you are eligible to participate in counselling. Whether you get a seat depends on your rank, your choice of colleges and courses, and the number of seats available. Candidates with higher ranks (lower numbers) are offered seats first.
What is the difference between the merit list and the seat allotment result?
The merit list ranks all eligible candidates by score. The seat allotment result, published later, shows which specific seat (college and course) each candidate has been offered based on their rank and preferences. The merit list comes first; the allotment result comes after counselling.
Can my OBC-NCL category be challenged or rejected after I am on the merit list?
Yes. Acceptance on the merit list is provisional. Your category certificate may be verified again during document verification or admission. If the certificate is found to be invalid or forged, you may lose your seat. Ensure your certificate is genuine and issued by the competent authority.
When will counselling begin after the merit list is published?
The exact date of counselling will be announced by GMCH after the merit list is finalized and all corrections are made. Check the GMCH website regularly for the counselling schedule. Do not miss the announcement — counselling dates are usually tight, and missing a deadline can cost you your seat.
What documents do I need to bring for counselling if I am on the merit list?
You will need your NEET admit card and score card, 10th and 12th certificates, OBC-NCL category certificate, Aadhaar card, and any other documents mentioned in the admission notification. Keep originals and photocopies ready. The exact list will be provided in the counselling notification.
If I am on the merit list but do not participate in counselling, what happens?
If you do not register for counselling or do not fill in your seat preferences, you will not be offered a seat. Your rank on the merit list will expire, and your seat will be offered to the next candidate. Participate in counselling if you want a seat.
Can I apply for both MBBS and BDS in Chandigarh, and will I appear on separate merit lists?
Yes, you can apply for both courses. However, this merit list is for MBBS only under the OBC-NCL category. If you also applied for BDS, a separate merit list for BDS will be published. You will appear on both lists if you are eligible for both courses.
Check the merit list now at gmch.gov.in using your application ID or roll number. Verify all your details are correct — name, date of birth, NEET score, and category. If you find any error, report it to GMCH immediately. Keep all your documents safe and watch the GMCH website for the counselling schedule announcement. Do not miss any deadline.
