How to apply for West Bengal NEET Counselling 2026?

Apply Online for WB NEET Counselling 2026
The WB NEET Counselling 2026 application window (13 to 23 August 2026) has closed.
- Open the WBMCC UG medical and dental counselling page and start a new registration while a window is open.
- Enter your NEET UG 2026 roll number, application number, name, mother’s name and date of birth. Registration goes ahead only if these match the NTA data shared with the state.
- Complete the application and choose state quota, management quota or NRI quota. You can correct details with Registration Unlocking until you pay.
- Pay the non-refundable counselling fee, plus the security deposit if you want private college seats, and download your candidate profile letter.
- Attend physical document verification at the college, date and time slot printed on the profile letter. NRI quota candidates skip this step.
- Once you are on the verified list, log in, fill your choices and lock them. Saved choices that are not locked are auto-locked when the window closes.
- If you get a seat, report to the college with original documents, the college fee and the bond for final verification and admission.

The counselling fee is paid online by card, net banking or UPI; the security deposit by RuPay debit card, net banking or credit card through BillDesk. The deposit is adjusted against the course fee if you get a private seat, and refunded after counselling ends if you do not.

Who can apply for West Bengal NEET Counselling 2026?
You must have qualified NEET UG 2026 at your category’s cut-off percentile and meet the Class 12 and age rules. State quota seats also need West Bengal domicile.
- NEET UG 2026 qualifying percentile: 50th for UR and EWS, 45th for UR-PwD and EWS-PwD, and 40th for SC, ST, OBC and their PwD candidates.
- Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology taken together: 50% for UR and EWS, and 40% for UR-PwD, EWS-PwD, SC, ST and OBC. You must also pass Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English individually.
- Age at least 17 years by 31 December 2026 (date of birth on or before 1 January 2010).
- State quota: the candidate or a parent must be domiciled in West Bengal, shown by proforma a1, a2 or b signed by a competent authority, or by an e-District domicile certificate.
- Proforma a1 and a2 need 10 years’ continuous residence in West Bengal as on 31 December 2025. Proforma b is for candidates who studied outside the state but whose parent has lived in West Bengal for 10 years.
- Management quota: open to any NEET UG 2026 qualified candidate without domicile; seats go by NEET rank only, with no caste or PwD reservation.
- NRI quota: only for NRI, OCI or PIO candidates who opt for it at registration; they cannot also choose state or management quota.
- A medical fitness certificate from a registered medical practitioner is required for admission.
How do category, PwD and domicile rules work in WB counselling?
Reservation applies only to state quota seats, and only to West Bengal domicile candidates whose certificates are issued in West Bengal.
- OBC: certificate issued in West Bengal plus a non-creamy layer certificate dated 1 April 2026 or later. Without it you are treated as Unreserved.
- Candidates who wrote General or EWS in the NEET form can switch only to OBC during WB registration. New SC, ST, EWS or PwD claims are not allowed.
- SC, ST, OBC or EWS certificates from another state count as Unreserved for state quota.
- EWS: certificate in the WBMCC format, issued on or after 1 April 2026.
- PwD: only certificates from MCC-designated centres count, such as the Primary Medical Assessment Board at NRS Medical College, Kolkata.
- Caste certificates are checked by officers of the Backward Classes Welfare Department at both verification stages.
- In Round 3, vacant PwD seats go to their parent category, SC and ST seats convert to each other and EWS converts to UR. SC, ST and OBC seats do not convert to UR without BCWD permission.
For example, the 212 state quota MBBS seats at Medical College, Kolkata in the Round 1 seat matrix were split like this.
| Category | Seats | PwD seats within |
|---|---|---|
| UR | 110 | 6 |
| SC | 45 | 2 |
| EWS | 20 | 1 |
| OBC | 14 | 1 |
| ST | 12 | 1 |

How do WB NEET counselling rounds, upgrades and surrender work?
Each round runs registration, verification, choice locking, allotment and admission, with stricter rules in later rounds.
- Round 1 has a free exit: if you do not report, you can join Round 2 without paying again.
- To stay in the next round after taking admission, give willingness at the college. If you are upgraded, the college hands back your admission fee for the new college.
- A Round 1 seat can be surrendered without penalty; in Round 2 the admission fee is forfeited. Candidates who surrender leave the counselling.
- Not reporting from Round 2 onwards forfeits the security deposit. A Round 2 non-reporter pays the fee and deposit again to join Round 3.
- Round 3 and stray round seats cannot be surrendered or upgraded, and Round 3 non-reporters are out of the counselling.
- Registered candidates with no seat up to Round 3 join the stray round without paying again, and fresh registration is also open.
- After all rounds end, a seat can be given up only by paying the bond penalty.
What documents do you need for WB NEET counselling?
Carry originals and one set of self-attested photocopies to document verification. This is the state quota list from the 2026 bulletin.
- Candidate profile letter and payment receipt
- Domicile certificate (proforma a1, a2 or b, or e-District certificate)
- Any two of the parent’s Voter ID, Aadhaar or passport showing a West Bengal address, if the parent’s domicile is used
- Caste certificate issued in West Bengal, with the non-creamy layer certificate for OBC, if claimed
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and rank card
- PwD certificate from an MCC-designated centre, if claimed
- Age proof and Class 12 mark sheet
- Medical fitness certificate from a registered medical practitioner
Management quota candidates need the same papers except domicile proof; caste and PwD certificates are needed only to prove their NEET cut-off eligibility. Every candidate also signs an undertaking that the information given is true.
