Chandigarh NEET PG Counselling (GMCH)
How PG seats in Chandigarh are filled — GMCH-32's institutional counselling alongside the All-India MCC round.
Chandigarh has a small pool of PG medical seats. Government Medical College & Hospital (GMCH-32) conducts counselling for its own seats, while the All-India MCC round fills the All India Quota and central seats. (PGIMER, the major central institute in Chandigarh, admits through the separate INI-CET route.)
This guide explains who conducts what in Chandigarh, which seats fall where, the eligibility that applies, and the process and documents you'll need.
Who conducts this counselling
GMCH-32 conducts the counselling for the PG seats in its own institution, publishing the prospectus, verifying eligibility and declaring allotments.
The All India Quota and central-institution seats in Chandigarh are filled through MCC. PGIMER Chandigarh, being an Institute of National Importance, admits through INI-CET and its own counselling — not the MCC NEET PG rounds. In practice a Chandigarh aspirant engages with more than one route.
What seats it fills
- PG seats in GMCH-32 (through its institutional counselling).
- The All India Quota and central seats in Chandigarh (through MCC).
- Any UT pool / institutional-preference categories GMCH defines.
Who is eligible
A qualifying NEET PG rank is required for every route. GMCH-32 applies its own eligibility and any Chandigarh UT-pool / institutional-preference criteria set in its prospectus.
For AIQ seats through MCC, all-India merit applies with no domicile requirement. PGIMER's PG admission is a separate INI-CET process with its own eligibility.

- MBBS from a recognised college with completed internship.
- GMCH-32's eligibility / UT-pool rules for its institutional seats.

Common questions
Does PGIMER fill PG seats through this counselling?
No. PGIMER Chandigarh is an Institute of National Importance and admits through the separate INI-CET examination and its own counselling, not the MCC NEET PG rounds or GMCH's counselling.
How do GMCH-32 seats fill?
GMCH-32 conducts counselling for its own PG seats, applying its eligibility and any UT-pool/institutional-preference rules in its prospectus, alongside the AIQ share filled through MCC.
Do I need a Chandigarh domicile?
The All India Quota via MCC has no domicile requirement. GMCH-32 may apply UT-pool or institutional-preference rules for its own seats — confirm these in the year's prospectus.
