Who Can Participate in WB NEET UG Counselling 2026?
Candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026, conducted by the National Testing Agency, are eligible to register for West Bengal NEET UG Counselling 2026. For the 85% State Quota seats in MBBS and BDS courses, candidates must satisfy WBMCC's West Bengal domicile requirement, submitted through the prescribed Domicile Proforma (A1, A2, or B) as specified in the information bulletin. Candidates without West Bengal domicile can generally still compete for Management Quota and NRI Quota seats in private medical colleges, subject to the eligibility conditions laid out in the official bulletin.
Documents Required for West Bengal NEET UG Counselling 2026
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and rank/scorecard
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and pass certificates
- West Bengal Domicile Certificate (Proforma A1, A2, or B), where applicable
- Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD), where applicable
- Medical Fitness Certificate in the WBMCC-prescribed format
- Valid photo identity proof
- Recent passport-size photographs
- Any additional document specified in the official Notice cum Information Bulletin
Candidates should note that reservation category status such as SC, ST, EWS, or PwD cannot be freshly declared or altered at the WBMCC registration stage. It is carried forward from the original NEET UG 2026 application submitted to NTA, so any discrepancy needs to be checked against that record rather than corrected during state counselling registration.
West Bengal NEET UG 2026 Choice Filling and Locking
Once document verification is complete, eligible candidates move to the choice filling stage, where they select and rank their preferred colleges and courses through the WBMCC portal. Preference order matters directly in how seats get allotted against a candidate's rank, so choices should reflect a realistic priority list rather than only aspirational picks. After choices are filled, candidates must lock them within the notified window; once locked, choices cannot be edited, and the seat allotment process is run strictly against the locked preference list.
WB NEET UG 2026 Seat Allotment
The result for Round 1 seat allotment for West Bengal NEET UG Counselling 2026 will be published on the official WBMCC portal within the closing date, that is, August 22, 2026. Candidates who are allotted a seat must download the allotment letter and report to the allotted institute within the time period mentioned by WBMCC. Furthermore, students are required to bring along the original documents for manual verification. Candidates who fail to report within the specified time or do not meet the eligibility criteria mentioned at the time of submitting their applications stand a chance to have their allotted seats canceled as per WBMCC admission guidelines.
