Programme availability and intake follow defence medical-education norms.

For those researching Command Hospital Kolkata admission 2026, clarity on the courses offered, eligibility and the admission process is essential given its specialised armed-forces context. This page assembles the relevant information, covering courses, eligibility, fee structure where applicable, admission process, cutoff trends, seats and facilities for the 2026 session.

Admission to Command Hospital is entirely NEET-based; there is no separate entrance test. Postgraduate (MD/MS/DNB and allied) seats are filled through NEET-PG. Candidates must qualify NEET and then take part in centralised counselling — direct admission is not permitted.

As a government college, seats are divided between the 15% All India Quota and the 85% state quota. The All India Quota is counselled online by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), while the state quota is counselled by the West Bengal State NEET-UG Counselling. Both run in rounds — Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up and Stray Vacancy — with seats allotted strictly on NEET rank, category and choice order.

To secure a seat, a NEET-qualified candidate registers for the relevant counselling, fills a preference list that includes Command Hospital, and is allotted a seat if their rank clears the closing rank for that quota and category in that round. Closing ranks move each year with the number of applicants and seats, so treat past cut-offs as guidance, not a guarantee.
