What is PGIMER Result 2027?
The PGIMER Result 2027 is the official merit list released by the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh after each session of its entrance exam. PGIMER is an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. It holds a computer-based entrance test twice a year to admit MBBS graduates to its MD, MS, MDS, DM, and MCh programmes at its Chandigarh campus.
The result is not a simple pass/fail document. It tells you your overall rank in the merit list, your total marks, and your category-wise rank — all three matter when PGIMER counselling begins. Candidates who clear the minimum qualifying marks but fall outside the merit list cutoff do not get called for counselling.

PGIMER Result 2027: Important Dates

PGIMER Result Previous Year Statistics
PGIMER’s candidate pool has grown steadily over the last several years, while available MD/MS seats have increased only marginally. With roughly 150–200 seats per session and tens of thousands of candidates appearing, the competition is intense — you need to rank in the top fraction of a percent to secure a seat in a competitive specialty.
| Year | Session | Approx. Candidates Appeared | Result Declaration | Approx. MD/MS Seats Available |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | June | ~35,000 | July 2026 | ~185 |
| 2025 | June | ~33,000 | July 2025 | ~180 |
| 2024 | June | ~30,000 | July 2024 | ~175 |
| 2023 | June | ~27,000 | July 2023 | ~168 |
| 2022 | June | ~24,000 | July 2022 | ~160 |
The table below shows the approximate closing rank trend for MD Radiodiagnosis and MD General Medicine (General/UR category) at PGIMER Chandigarh — two of the most sought-after specialties. These are indicative figures based on historical counselling data and should be used only as a benchmark.
| Year (June Session) | MD Radiodiagnosis — Approx. Closing Rank (General/UR) | MD General Medicine — Approx. Closing Rank (General/UR) |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | ~20–30 | ~45–60 |
| 2025 | ~18–28 | ~40–55 |
| 2024 | ~16–25 | ~36–50 |
| 2023 | ~14–22 | ~32–45 |
| 2022 | ~12–18 | ~28–38 |
The closing ranks for top specialties at PGIMER have tightened by roughly 40–60% over five years, driven by the growing candidate pool against near-stable seat numbers. For 2027, if you are targeting Radiodiagnosis or General Medicine, aiming for a rank in the top 50 (General/UR category) is a practical goal — anything beyond rank 100 for these two specialties will likely be a stretch.
How to Check PGIMER Result 2027
PGIMER releases its result as a publicly available PDF merit list — no login or OTP required. Here is what to do once the result is out.
- Go to the official PGIMER website at pgimer.edu.in
- Click on the "Entrance Exam" or "Admissions" section in the main navigation
- Look for the link labelled "PGIMER Result 2027 Merit List" or "Merit List [Session] 2027"
- Click the link to open or download the PDF
- Use Ctrl+F (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+F (Mac) and type your registration number to locate your entry
- Note your overall rank, marks scored, and category-wise rank
- Download and save the PDF — you will need it during counselling
If the PGIMER portal is slow right after the result declaration, it is due to high traffic. Wait a few minutes and try again. The direct link on this page will also be updated as soon as the official result is live.
Ques. Do I need a login to check the PGIMER Result 2027?
Ans. No. The PGIMER merit list is a public PDF — you don’t need any login credentials to access it. Just download it from pgimer.edu.in once the result is declared and search for your registration number within the document using Ctrl+F or Cmd+F.
Ques. My registration number is not in the PGIMER merit list — what should I do?
Ans. If your registration number does not appear, it means either you did not meet the minimum qualifying marks for your category, or your rank fell outside the merit list cutoff for that session. Contact PGIMER’s exam cell at Chandigarh directly for clarification on your marks, or watch for any official score disclosure process announced by the institute.
PGIMER 2027 Merit List Details
The PGIMER merit list contains structured information you will need throughout the counselling process. Understanding what each column means helps you assess your standing and plan your specialty preferences before counselling opens.
The merit list PDF for MD/MS programmes typically includes:
- Registration Number — your unique ID from the application form
- Candidate Name
- Category — General / EWS / OBC-NCL / SC / ST / PwD
- Total Marks Scored — out of 200
- Overall Rank — your position among all qualifying candidates
- Category-wise Rank — your rank within your reserved category
For DM and MCh programmes, selection is two-stage. PGIMER first shortlists candidates from the written exam merit list and then calls them for a clinical skill test. The final DM/MCh merit list is based on the combined score of both stages.
| Programme | Selection Basis | Merit List Type |
|---|---|---|
| MD / MS | Written exam rank only | Single combined merit list |
| MDS | Written exam rank only | Separate merit list for dental programmes |
| DM / MCh | Written exam + clinical skill test | Two-stage selection — final list after skill test |
| PhD | Written exam + interview | Programme-specific merit list |
PGIMER Qualifying Marks 2027
To appear in the PGIMER merit list, you first need to clear the minimum qualifying marks for your category. Scoring below these marks removes you from consideration regardless of how many seats are available or how other candidates performed. These qualifying thresholds are fixed percentages of the 200-mark total.
| Category | Qualifying Percentage | Minimum Marks Required (out of 200) |
|---|---|---|
| General / UR | 50% | 100 marks |
| EWS (Economically Weaker Section) | 50% | 100 marks |
| OBC-NCL | 45% | 90 marks |
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | 40% | 80 marks |
| ST (Scheduled Tribe) | 40% | 80 marks |
| PwD (Persons with Disability) | 40% | 80 marks |
Meeting the qualifying marks is just the first hurdle. With only about 150–200 MD/MS seats per session and tens of thousands of candidates appearing, even clearing 55–60% is often not enough to earn a seat in competitive specialties. Based on past trends, scoring 70–80% (140–160 out of 200) puts you in a realistic range for most clinical branches.
Ques. Is there negative marking in the PGIMER entrance exam?
Ans. PGIMER has not applied negative marking in its recent exam cycles — each correct answer earns 1 mark, and unanswered or wrong answers have not carried a penalty as per recent patterns. That said, always confirm the exact marking scheme in the official information brochure for the specific 2027 session, since PGIMER can revise exam rules.
Ques. What is a good score to qualify for PGIMER counselling in 2027?
Ans. Based on previous years, scoring 140–160 out of 200 (70–80%) generally puts you within the merit list cutoff for competitive specialties such as MD Radiodiagnosis, MD General Medicine, or MS General Surgery. For basic science MD courses like Anatomy or Biochemistry, lower scores may still land you in the merit list — but you still need to clear the 50% minimum for General/EWS. Aim higher and let your rank determine your specialty options.
PGIMER Expected Cutoff 2027
The PGIMER cutoff is the closing rank at which the last seat in a given specialty is filled during counselling. Since the 2027 result has not been declared yet, the figures below are based on closing rank trends from the 2024 and 2025 June sessions. Actual cutoffs for 2027 will depend on the number of candidates appearing, the seat matrix, and exam difficulty that year.
| Specialty | Approx. Closing Rank 2025 (General/UR) | Expected Closing Rank 2027 (General/UR) |
|---|---|---|
| MD Radiodiagnosis | ~18–28 | ~22–35 (Expected) |
| MD Dermatology | ~25–40 | ~28–48 (Expected) |
| MD General Medicine | ~40–55 | ~45–65 (Expected) |
| MD Paediatrics | ~50–70 | ~55–80 (Expected) |
| MS General Surgery | ~60–85 | ~65–95 (Expected) |
| MS Orthopaedics | ~80–110 | ~90–125 (Expected) |
| MD Anaesthesia | ~100–135 | ~110–150 (Expected) |
| MD Psychiatry | ~120–160 | ~130–175 (Expected) |
| MD Anatomy / Biochemistry (Basic Sciences) | ~250–450 | ~270–480 (Expected) |
The closing rank for competitive clinical specialties has tightened by roughly 40–50% over the last five years. PGIMER releases the official specialty-wise closing ranks after each round of counselling — those are the most reliable data points to track once counselling begins for the 2027 session.
What After PGIMER Result 2027?
Once the PGIMER Result 2027 is out and your name appears in the merit list, the next step is PGIMER counselling. PGIMER runs its own counselling — completely separate from MCC/NEET PG counselling — for all qualifying candidates. Here is the complete post-result process.
Step 1 — Note Your Rank and Category Rank
Download the merit list PDF and note both your overall rank and your category-wise rank. Your overall rank places you in the general queue; your category rank determines your position for reserved seats within your category.
Step 2 — Register for PGIMER Counselling
PGIMER releases a separate counselling schedule after the result. Register on the PGIMER portal within the notified dates and pay the counselling registration fee. Missing this window removes you from the process even if you are ranked in the top 50.
Step 3 — Fill Specialty Preferences
During counselling registration, you fill in your specialty preferences in order of priority. Your choices, your rank, and available seats in each specialty together determine your allotment. Think carefully before locking preferences — changes may not be allowed once submitted.
Step 4 — Seat Allotment
PGIMER conducts two to three rounds of counselling. If you are not allotted a seat in round one, you may get one in later rounds as higher-ranked candidates decline or upgrade. A stray vacancy round may also follow to fill any remaining seats.
Step 5 — Document Verification and Joining
Once you accept a seat, you report to PGIMER Chandigarh for in-person document verification. Carry the following:
- MBBS degree certificate or provisional degree certificate
- Internship completion certificate
- Category certificate (OBC-NCL / SC / ST / EWS / PwD — if applicable, issued by a competent authority)
- PGIMER admit card and merit list page showing your rank
- Migration certificate from your MBBS university
- Passport-size photographs (carry multiple copies)
- Valid government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar, PAN, or Passport
If all documents are in order, you formally join the programme and begin your postgraduate residency at PGIMER Chandigarh. The exact joining deadline varies by session — check the official counselling schedule once it is released.
Ques. Can I appear for both the June and December sessions of PGIMER in the same year?
Ans. Yes, you can apply for and sit in both the June and December sessions in the same year. The two sessions are independent — each has its own application form, exam date, and merit list. If you qualify in the June session and accept a seat, check PGIMER’s official rules on whether you may still appear in the December session while already enrolled.
Ques. Is PGIMER counselling the same as MCC counselling for NEET PG?
Ans. No. PGIMER conducts its own counselling independently. MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) counselling is for NEET PG and covers seats at other government and private medical colleges. To get a seat at PGIMER Chandigarh, you must qualify and participate in PGIMER’s own counselling — your MCC or NEET PG rank is not accepted here.
FAQs
Ques. When will PGIMER Result 2027 be declared?
Ans. PGIMER has not released the 2027 exam schedule yet. Based on previous years, the June 2027 session result is expected around July 2027, and the December/November 2027 session result is expected around December 2027. Check pgimer.edu.in for the official announcement once the schedule is out.
Ques. Where can I check the PGIMER 2027 result?
Ans. The PGIMER 2027 result will be available on the official website at pgimer.edu.in. Look for the merit list link under the Admissions or Entrance Exam section. The direct link on this page will also be updated once the result is live.
Ques. What details do I need to check the PGIMER result?
Ans. You do not need any login credentials. PGIMER publishes the result as a public PDF. Download it from pgimer.edu.in and use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to search for your registration number within the PDF.
Ques. What is the minimum score needed to qualify for the PGIMER merit list?
Ans. Minimum qualifying marks are 50% (100/200) for General/EWS, 45% (90/200) for OBC-NCL, and 40% (80/200) for SC/ST/PwD. Scoring the minimum does not guarantee a seat — your actual rank in the merit list and seat availability in your chosen specialty decide whether you get a counselling call.
Ques. How is the PGIMER merit list rank decided if two candidates score the same marks?
Ans. PGIMER breaks ties using date of birth — the older candidate receives the better (lower-numbered) rank. If the date of birth is also identical, further tie-breaking follows the rules in PGIMER’s official information brochure for that session.
Ques. Is PGIMER result the same as NEET PG result?
Ans. No, these are entirely separate exams with separate results. PGIMER conducts its own entrance test for admissions to PGIMER Chandigarh. NEET PG, conducted by NBE, is used for admissions to most other government and private medical colleges. Qualifying NEET PG does not give you a PGIMER seat, and qualifying PGIMER does not count for NEET PG counselling.
Ques. How many seats does PGIMER offer per session?
Ans. PGIMER Chandigarh offers approximately 150–200 MD/MS seats per session across all specialties, with additional seats for MDS, DM, MCh, and other programmes. The exact seat matrix is published in the official information brochure for each session. Seats are distributed across General, EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PwD categories as per government reservation norms.
Ques. Can I reappear for PGIMER if I am not satisfied with my rank?
Ans. Yes. There is no restriction on the number of PGIMER attempts. If you are not happy with your rank in one session, you can appear in the next session or in any future session. Each session is independent and gives you a fresh rank.
Ques. How many rounds of counselling does PGIMER hold?
Ans. PGIMER typically holds two to three rounds of counselling per session. Round 1 allots seats to top-ranked candidates. If seats remain after round 1, or if candidates with better ranks decline their allotments, rounds 2 and 3 follow. A stray vacancy round may also be conducted to fill any remaining seats.
