If you are hunting for NEET PG colleges in West Bengal, this is your 2026 map to MD, MS, DNB and PG-Diploma seats across the state. West Bengal's PG state-quota counselling is run by the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) on its official portal wbmcc.nic.in, while the 50% All India Quota (AIQ) is conducted centrally by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at mcc.nic.in. With the NEET-PG 2026 result declared on 24 September 2026 by NBEMS, thousands of West Bengal aspirants are now racing to convert a rank into a seat.
Instead of scrolling generic lists, the MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor turns your rank and category into a personalised list of MD/MS/DNB colleges and specialities across MCC AIQ and every state, each shown with round-wise closing ranks, annual fees, stipend, bond and an admit-probability. Accurate, no guesswork.
Which PG medical colleges are in West Bengal?
West Bengal has a deep bench of PG-granting institutions: government-run flagships in Kolkata plus strong district and private colleges. Indicatively, around 36 colleges participate in PG counselling with roughly 2,100+ MD/MS/DNB seats statewide, but this changes every year, so always confirm the live seat matrix on wbmcc.nic.in. Note that AIIMS Kalyani, as a central institute, admits PG residents through INI-CET, not NEET-PG.

See my exact collegesWho conducts West Bengal NEET-PG counselling?
Two authorities matter. The MCC allots the 50% All India Quota in government colleges using your national NEET-PG rank. The WBMCC, under the state Department of Health & Family Welfare, allots the 50% state quota in government colleges plus private management, NRI and state DNB seats. Both run multi-round, online, merit-cum-choice counselling.
| Quota | Share (indicative) | Conducting body | Portal |
|---|---|---|---|
| All India Quota (AIQ) | 50% of government PG seats | Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) | mcc.nic.in |
| State Quota | 50% of government PG seats | West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) | wbmcc.nic.in |
| Private management / NRI | Private-college seats | WBMCC | wbmcc.nic.in |
| DNB (degree / diploma) | Institute & hospital seats | NBEMS / WBMCC (state DNB) | nbe.edu.in / wbmcc.nic.in |
Where does your rank actually land?
Match your rank to round-wise closing ranks for West Bengal and AIQ MD/MS/DNB seats, so you stop guessing from last year's single number.
How does West Bengal state quota work?
A West Bengal domicile is mandatory for state-quota government seats; management-quota seats in private colleges generally do not require domicile. The state process is fully online on wbmcc.nic.in, from registration and document verification to choice-filling and merit-based seat allotment across several rounds.
- Register on wbmcc.nic.in with your NEET-PG 2026 roll number and details
- Pay the counselling / security fee and upload documents for verification
- Fill and lock your MD/MS/DNB college-and-speciality choices in order of preference
- Receive seat allotment on merit-cum-choice across multiple rounds
- Report and join the allotted college, or opt for upgrade in a later round
AIQ vs West Bengal state quota: which should you choose?
You do not have to pick one. Registering for both the national AIQ and the West Bengal state quota maximises your seats. The trade-offs are domicile, the merit pool your rank competes in, and the mix of colleges each quota unlocks.
| Factor | All India Quota (MCC) | West Bengal State Quota (WBMCC) |
|---|---|---|
| Domicile | Not required | West Bengal domicile mandatory |
| Merit basis | National NEET-PG rank | State rank among WB-eligible candidates |
| Colleges | Government colleges nationwide (50% seats) | WB government (50%) + private / management / NRI + state DNB |
| Service bond | Applies at the allotted state college | West Bengal service bond applies |

What are the fees, stipend and bond in West Bengal?
Government PG seats are among the cheapest in the country, while private tuition rises sharply for clinical branches and management/NRI seats.

- Government PG tuition: heavily subsidised, among the lowest bands nationally (indicative; verify per college)

- Stipend (government): indicatively about Rs 45,000 to Rs 50,000+ per month, typically higher in senior years (indicative; verify)
- Service bond (MD/MS): a multi-year state-service commitment with a financial penalty for default, as notified by WBMCC (indicative; verify current terms)

How competitive are West Bengal government seats?
NEET-PG 2026 qualifying scores out of 720 are indicatively around 262 for General/EWS, 244 for General-PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC (including PwBD). But qualifying only lets you enter counselling. Popular clinical branches, such as Radiology, Dermatology and General Medicine at the Kolkata flagships, close at far more competitive ranks, and those closing ranks shift every round.
The cut-offs above only open the counselling door. Actual closing ranks for sought-after clinical branches in West Bengal are much tighter and change round to round. Check the exact round-wise closing rank for your rank rather than relying on rules of thumb.

Build my listFrequently asked questions
Which authority conducts West Bengal NEET-PG state-quota counselling?
The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC), under the state Department of Health & Family Welfare, runs state-quota, management, NRI and state DNB counselling on wbmcc.nic.in. The 50% All India Quota is handled separately by the MCC on mcc.nic.in.
How many NEET-PG medical seats are there in West Bengal?
Indicatively, West Bengal has roughly 2,100+ PG medical seats across around 36 participating colleges, but the exact count changes each year. Always confirm the live seat matrix on wbmcc.nic.in, and use the predictor to see which seats match your rank.
What was the NEET-PG 2026 qualifying cut-off?
The NBEMS qualifying percentiles translate to indicative scores out of 720 of about 262 for General/EWS, 244 for General-PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC including PwBD. These only let you enter counselling; closing ranks for actual seats are far more competitive.
Do I need a West Bengal domicile for the state quota?
Yes, a West Bengal domicile is mandatory for state-quota government seats. Management-quota seats in private colleges generally do not require domicile. Verify current eligibility rules on wbmcc.nic.in before you register.
What is the West Bengal PG service bond?
MD/MS seats in state government colleges carry a multi-year service bond with a financial penalty for default, as notified by WBMCC; diploma courses have a shorter bond. Always verify the current bond amount and terms before locking choices.
What stipend do PG residents get in West Bengal?
Government-college PG residents earn a monthly stipend indicatively in the Rs 45,000 to Rs 50,000+ range, typically rising in senior years; private colleges vary. Confirm the latest figures. The predictor shows stipend alongside each college on your shortlist.
What are private PG medical college fees in West Bengal?
They vary widely, indicatively from around Rs 2 lakh per year for some non-clinical state-quota seats to substantially higher for clinical MD/MS and management/NRI seats. Treat any single figure as indicative and check the exact per-seat fee in the predictor.
Which are the top government medical colleges for MD/MS in West Bengal?
Frequently sought flagships include IPGME&R & SSKM Hospital, Calcutta Medical College, R.G. Kar Medical College, Nil Ratan Sircar (NRS) Medical College and Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata, plus North Bengal Medical College in Siliguri and Burdwan Medical College.
Can I get an MD or MS seat in West Bengal with a low NEET-PG rank?
It depends on your category, the specialty and the quota. Non-clinical branches and many DNB seats often close at lower ranks than clinical MD/MS at Kolkata flagships. The predictor shows exactly which seats your rank can realistically win.
Is DNB counselling included in the West Bengal state quota?
WBMCC counsels state DNB degree and diploma seats alongside MD/MS, while NBEMS conducts central DNB counselling for many hospital seats. Check both routes, and use the predictor to see DNB options for your rank.
How is All India Quota different from the West Bengal state quota?
Government PG seats are split roughly 50/50. AIQ, via MCC, uses your national NEET-PG rank with no domicile requirement; the West Bengal state quota, via WBMCC, uses state merit and needs a WB domicile, but adds private, management, NRI and state DNB seats.
When was the NEET-PG 2026 result declared?
NBEMS declared the NEET-PG 2026 result on 24 September 2026, after which MCC (AIQ) and WBMCC (West Bengal state quota) begin their multi-round counselling schedules.
