MOCK COUNSELLING IN CHANDIGARH
A student picked their 3rd preference thinking they’d upgrade in Round 2. Round 2 came — their 1st preference had already filled. The preference order you submit is the order you live with.
Which of these colleges applies to your rank?
150
Just 150 MBBS seats in the entire UT of Chandigarh — at one college (GMCH-32)
Government Medical College Chandigarh is the only MBBS institution in the UT. 150 seats, serving a catchment of 1M+ residents. State quota competition here is among the most intense in India per capita.
PGIMER
PGIMER Chandigarh is a different institution — accessed through INICET (PG) and MCC AIQ (UG), NOT through Chandigarh UT counselling
Many candidates conflate GMCH and PGIMER. PGIMER is a national autonomous institute. Chandigarh UT counselling governs only GMCH-32. If you want PGIMER, your route is MCC AIQ.
UT
Chandigarh domicile is difficult to establish — many residents are Punjab/Haryana migrants without UT domicile
Chandigarh is the capital of both Punjab and Haryana, but most residents maintain home-state domicile. UT domicile requires continuous Chandigarh residence, school education in UT, and specific documentation. Verify early.
PB/HR
Most Chandigarh candidates apply to Punjab (BFUHS) and Haryana (UHSR) state counselling alongside UT quota
Candidates with Punjab or Haryana domicile have options in both states' counselling. Chandigarh UT counselling is a small additional shot. Smart candidates register for all three simultaneously.
