The Chandigarh NEET UG Counselling 2026 is the official admission process for medical aspirants seeking enrollment into MBBS and BDS programs within the Union Territory. The counselling is centrally organized and conducted by the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Chandigarh, under the aegis of the Chandigarh Administration and Panjab University.
Admissions are granted strictly based on the merit and scores achieved in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG) 2026. The counselling process is divided into the Chandigarh UT Pool (85% quota) for local students and the General/All India quota. The procedure typically involves online registration, release of the UT merit list, physical document verification, and subsequent rounds of seat allotment.
