NEET UG 2026 medical colleges in Chandigarh (Chandigarh) — this guide explains the government, private and deemed medical and dental colleges in and around Chandigarh, and exactly how admission works through NEET UG 2026. Every MBBS, BDS and AYUSH seat in Chandigarh is filled on the basis of your NEET score, All India Rank and counselling — not by any separate Chandigarh entrance test.
How NEET 2026 Admission Works for Chandigarh Colleges
Seats in Chandigarh are filled through two routes:
- All India Quota (15%) in government colleges, plus central institutes — allotted by the MCC at mcc.nic.in on your All India Rank. See the AIQ Counselling guide.
- State Quota (85%) in Chandigarh government colleges, plus private and deemed colleges — allotted by Chandigarh’s counselling authority, usually needing a domicile certificate. See NEET 2026 Chandigarh Cutoff & Counselling.
