About GMCH Chandigarh

The college is attached to GMCH-32 Hospital, one of North India's major teaching hospitals.
How Admission Works in Chandigarh
MBBS admission in Chandigarh is based entirely on NEET UG scores, with seats split between two counselling routes:
- 85% Chandigarh UT Quota seats are counselled directly by GMCH at gmch.gov.in, and require Chandigarh UT domicile eligibility
- 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats are filled through MCC counselling, open to candidates from any state
Similarly, MD/MS postgraduate admission is split between State Quota and All India Quota, based on NEET PG rank.
A Note on PGIMER Chandigarh
Many students confuse GMCH-32 with PGIMER (Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research), Chandigarh. PGIMER is a separate, autonomous research institute offering only postgraduate (DM/MCh) and doctoral programs β it does not offer MBBS admission. NEET UG aspirants targeting MBBS should apply specifically to GMCH-32, not PGIMER.
