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 Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates seeking admission to the MBBS course in 2026. This list shows the ranking of all SC category applicants who qualified in NEET UG 2026 and are eligible for counselling. If you applied under the SC category, you must check this list immediately to confirm your rank, eligibility status, and next steps in the admission process.
The SC merit list for MBBS 2026 is now live; check your rank and status on the GMCH Chandigarh official portal.
What is this merit list?
This is the official merit list published by GMCH Chandigarh for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates applying for MBBS admission in the 2026-27 academic session. The list ranks all SC category candidates who have qualified in NEET UG 2026 and meet the eligibility criteria set by the Chandigarh admission authority.
The merit list is the foundation of the counselling process. Your position on this list determines the order in which you will be called for seat allocation during counselling rounds. Candidates are ranked by their NEET UG score (and tie-breaking rules if applicable), and only those on this list are eligible to participate in further counselling and seat allotment.
Who should check this list?
Any candidate who applied for MBBS admission in Chandigarh under the Scheduled Caste (SC) category and appeared in NEET UG 2026 should check this merit list. If you selected Chandigarh as one of your choice of states during NEET registration and marked yourself as SC, this list is relevant to you.
Even if you are unsure whether you qualified or are eligible, you should search for your name and roll number on the list. Absence from the list means you are not eligible for counselling in this round, and you should check the reasons (e.g., score below cutoff, missing documents, or category mismatch).
How to find your name on the list
Visit the official GMCH Chandigarh website or the centralized counselling portal for Chandigarh MBBS/BDS/BHMS admissions. Look for the merit list link for SC candidates in MBBS 2026. The list is typically searchable by your NEET roll number, name, or registration number.
Download or view the PDF or online list carefully. Note your rank, score, and any remarks or status shown against your name. If your name appears, you are eligible for counselling. If it does not, contact the GMCH admission office immediately to clarify why.

What happens after the merit list is published?
Once the merit list is published, the next step is counselling. GMCH Chandigarh will announce the dates and process for counselling rounds. Candidates on the merit list will be called in order of their rank to choose their preferred college and course (MBBS or BDS, if applicable) during the counselling window.
You will need to register for counselling, pay the counselling fee (if applicable), and submit your choices of colleges and courses. The final seat allotment will be based on your rank, your choices, and the availability of seats in each college.
- Wait for the counselling schedule announcement
- Register for counselling when the portal opens
- Pay the counselling fee as notified
- Fill your college and course preferences carefully
- Participate in the allotment process
Important: Check your category and eligibility
This merit list is specifically for SC (Scheduled Caste) candidates. If you belong to a different category (OBC, General, ST, or EWS), you will have a separate merit list. Do not assume you are on this list if you applied under a different category.
Verify that your category is correctly shown in the merit list. If there is a mismatch between your NEET registration category and the category shown here, contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately. Category errors can lead to rejection during seat allotment.
- Confirm your category matches your NEET registration
- Check for any remarks or flags against your name
- Verify your NEET score and rank are correct
- Report any discrepancies to GMCH within the given timeframe
What if your name is not on the list?
If you do not find your name on the SC merit list, there are several possible reasons: your NEET score may be below the cutoff for SC candidates in Chandigarh, your SC certificate may not have been verified or accepted, you may have applied under a different category, or there may be a data entry error.
Contact the GMCH Chandigarh admission office or the centralized counselling helpline immediately. Provide your NEET roll number, name, and category. Ask for a written explanation of why you are not on the list and whether there is a process to appeal or correct the error. Do not wait — the counselling schedule may move quickly.
- Check the cutoff score for SC candidates (if published)
- Verify your SC certificate was submitted and accepted
- Confirm you applied under the SC category in NEET
- Contact GMCH admission office with your NEET roll number

What does it mean if my name is on the SC merit list?
It means you have qualified in NEET UG 2026, your SC category has been verified and accepted, and you are eligible to participate in the counselling process for MBBS seats in Chandigarh. Your rank on the list determines the order in which you will be offered seats during counselling.
How is the merit list ranked?
Candidates are ranked primarily by their NEET UG score (highest to lowest). If two candidates have the same score, tie-breaking rules set by the Chandigarh admission authority are applied (these may include date of birth, gender, or other criteria). The exact tie-breaking method should be mentioned in the notice or on the portal.
Can I see the merit list for other categories (General, OBC, ST)?
Yes, GMCH Chandigarh publishes separate merit lists for each category. You can access the merit list for your own category. However, if you applied under SC, you should focus on the SC merit list for your counselling eligibility.
What is the cutoff score for SC candidates in MBBS?
The cutoff score is the minimum NEET score required to appear on the merit list. This is typically published along with or shortly after the merit list. If your score is below the cutoff, you will not be on the merit list. Check the official notice or portal for the exact cutoff score for SC candidates.
When will counselling begin after the merit list is published?
The exact date of counselling will be announced by GMCH Chandigarh in a separate notice. Do not assume counselling will start immediately after the merit list is published. Check the official portal regularly for the counselling schedule, registration dates, and fee payment deadline.
What documents do I need to bring for counselling if I am on the merit list?
The counselling notice will specify all required documents. Typically, you will need your NEET admit card, SC certificate, mark sheet, passport-sized photographs, and other identity proofs. Prepare these documents now and keep them ready. The exact list will be provided in the counselling notification.
Can I change my category from SC to General or OBC after the merit list is published?
No, you cannot change your category after the merit list is published. Your category is locked at the time of NEET registration. If you believe your category is incorrect, you must contact GMCH Chandigarh immediately with proof and request a correction before counselling begins.
What if there is an error in my name or details on the merit list?
Contact GMCH Chandigarh admission office immediately with your NEET roll number and proof of the correct information. Provide a written request for correction. Do not wait — errors must be corrected before counselling to avoid rejection during seat allotment.
Is the merit list final, or can it change?
The merit list is typically final once published, but corrections may be made if errors are found (e.g., a candidate's score was miscalculated, or a duplicate entry is removed). Always check the official portal for any updates or corrections announced after the initial publication.
What should I do immediately after finding my name on the merit list?
Note your rank, verify all your details are correct, and save or print the list. Then, wait for the counselling schedule announcement. Prepare all required documents, ensure your SC certificate is valid and with you, and monitor the official portal daily for counselling dates and registration instructions.
Check the merit list on the official GMCH Chandigarh website or centralized counselling portal immediately using your NEET roll number. If your name appears, note your rank and prepare for counselling. If your name is missing or there are errors, contact GMCH Chandigarh admission office without delay. Monitor the official portal daily for the counselling schedule and next steps — do not rely on unofficial sources.
