Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Chandigarh, does not provide traditional placements, as it is a medical college. However, after completing their degrees, doctors are offered positions in hospitals, and the college's students are hired based on their merit and scores in exams such as NEET, AIPMT, and PMET. The specific placement procedure is not similar to that of non-medical colleges, and the placements depend on the specialisation degree of the students. Doctors with an MBBS degree are offered around Rs. 45,000 per month, and students are offered jobs in Chandigarh if they belong to the CHD quota. The college's infrastructure and the city of Chandigarh are well-regarded. The college offers a one-year compulsory internship with a stipend of around Rs. 9,000 per month for every student during the internship. Most students either opt for post-graduation or join different hospitals after completing the internship. The college is considered one of the best medical colleges in India.
