Unlock My College ListWhat is WB NEET PG Counselling Round 1?
West Bengal conducts its postgraduate medical seat allocation through a formal counselling process managed by the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC). Round 1 is the first phase of seat distribution, where candidates who have qualified NEET PG are invited to register and indicate their choice of college and speciality (MD, MS, or DNB).
This round determines which doctors will be offered seats in government and private medical colleges across West Bengal. The allocation is based on your NEET PG rank, category (General, OBC, SC, ST), and your order of preference for colleges and branches. Participating in Round 1 gives you the earliest opportunity to secure a seat; candidates who miss this window may only be considered in subsequent rounds, which typically have fewer available seats.
Registration Timeline and Deadline for NEET PG Aspirants
The registration portal at wbmcc.nic.in opened on 24 October 2026. All eligible NEET PG candidates must complete their registration and submit their choice of colleges and specialities by 28 October 2026. After this date, the portal will close and no further registrations will be accepted for Round 1.
It is essential to mark this deadline clearly in your calendar. Registering even one day late will disqualify you from Round 1 allocation. If you have already qualified NEET PG and hold a valid score, you should log in to the portal immediately, verify your details, and submit your preferences well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues.
- Registration opens: 24 October 2026

How to Register and Choose Your Preferences
Visit wbmcc.nic.in and log in using your NEET PG roll number and password. Verify that all your personal and academic details are correct. Any discrepancy should be flagged immediately by contacting the WBMCC helpline, as errors at this stage can affect your seat allocation.
Once your details are confirmed, you will be presented with a list of available colleges and specialities (MD, MS, DNB) in West Bengal. You must rank these options in order of your preference. The counselling algorithm will match your rank and preferences to allocate a seat. Rank your choices carefully: place colleges and branches you genuinely want at the top, because the system allocates based on your rank and the order you provide. After submitting your preferences, you cannot change them, so review thoroughly before final submission.
- Log in with NEET PG credentials at wbmcc.nic.in
- Verify all personal and academic details
- Review the list of colleges and specialities available
- Rank colleges and branches in order of preference
- Submit preferences before 28 October 2026
- Keep a copy of your registration confirmation
What Happens After Registration Closes?
After the registration deadline on 28 October 2026, the WBMCC will process all submitted preferences and run the seat allocation algorithm. This process typically takes a few days. The committee will then announce the Round 1 seat allotment result, which will be published on the official portal.
Once the result is declared, candidates who have been allotted a seat will be notified. You will then be required to report to your allotted college within a specified timeframe to complete document verification and admission formalities. Failure to report on time may result in forfeiture of your seat. If you are not allotted a seat in Round 1, you may be eligible to participate in subsequent rounds (Round 2, mop-up, or stray round), depending on the availability of seats and the counselling schedule.
- Seat allocation algorithm runs after 28 October 2026
- Result declared on wbmcc.nic.in (date to be announced)
- Allotted candidates must report to college within the specified period
- Non-allotted candidates may participate in later rounds
- Document verification and admission formalities follow allocation
Key Documents You Will Need During Registration
Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
Before you begin the registration process, gather all required documents. You will need your NEET PG admit card, score card, and MBBS degree certificate or provisional certificate. Your category certificate (if applicable), identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, or PAN), and proof of domicile or state eligibility (if required by West Bengal) should also be ready.
Keep digital copies of all these documents accessible on your device. During registration, you may be asked to upload scans or provide reference numbers. Having everything prepared in advance will speed up the process and reduce the risk of errors or incomplete submissions.
- NEET PG admit card and score card
- MBBS degree certificate or provisional certificate
- Category certificate (SC, ST, OBC, if applicable)
- Identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, or PAN)
- Proof of domicile or state eligibility (if required)
- Recent passport-size photograph (digital format)
Common Mistakes to Avoid During Registration
One of the most common errors is entering incorrect personal details or NEET PG information. Double-check your name, date of birth, NEET PG roll number, and score before submitting. Typos in these fields can lead to mismatches during seat allocation or admission, causing delays or rejection.
Another frequent mistake is not ranking preferences carefully or leaving the preference list incomplete. Some candidates rank only a few colleges, thinking they will have more chances later. In reality, if your rank does not match any of your ranked preferences, you will not be allotted a seat in that round. Rank as many colleges and specialities as you are willing to accept, in genuine order of preference. Finally, do not wait until the last day to register; the portal may experience heavy traffic, and technical glitches could prevent you from submitting in time.
- Verify all personal and NEET PG details before submission
- Rank preferences in genuine order, not randomly
- Include multiple colleges and specialities in your preference list
- Do not register on the last day; submit early to avoid technical issues
- Keep your login credentials secure and do not share them
- Save a screenshot or PDF of your final submission
What If You Miss the Registration Deadline?
If you fail to register by 28 October 2026, you will be excluded from Round 1 seat allocation. This is a significant setback because Round 1 typically has the maximum number of available seats. However, you may still have opportunities in subsequent rounds if the WBMCC conducts them.
Contact the WBMCC immediately if you have a genuine reason for missing the deadline (such as a medical emergency or technical issue on the portal). In rare cases, the committee may grant an extension or allow late registration, but this is not guaranteed. To avoid this situation entirely, register as soon as possible after the portal opens on 24 October 2026.
- Missing the deadline excludes you from Round 1
- You may be eligible for Round 2 or mop-up rounds if conducted
- Contact WBMCC immediately if you have a valid reason for delay
- Extensions are rare and not guaranteed
- Register early to avoid last-minute issues
