The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has announced a second chance for NEET UG 2026 aspirants who were unable to secure a seat in the first two counselling rounds and missed paying the mandatory security deposit for private college state quota seats. This exceptional window allows eligible candidates to re-register and participate in Round 3 counselling, but involves fresh fee payments and specific procedural steps. If you were unallotted after Round 2 and couldn't pay the ₹2 lakh deposit, this notice directly affects your admission prospects.
Unallotted NEET UG 2026 candidates in West Bengal can re-register for Round 3 by emailing WBMCC between September 16–18, 2026, but must pay fresh counselling fees and security deposit; their earlier deposit will be refunded after counselling ends, though the initial registration fee is forfeited.
Who Is Eligible for This Re-registration Opportunity?
The WBMCC has specifically opened this re-registration window for candidates who meet two conditions: they remained unallotted through Round 2 of the counselling process, and they did not pay the ₹2 lakh security deposit required for private college state quota seats. This is framed as an exceptional measure to give a fresh start to aspirants who may have faced financial or administrative delays.
The eligibility is limited to those who had initially registered for NEET UG 2026 counselling in West Bengal but could not proceed due to the deposit requirement. Candidates who were allotted seats in earlier rounds or who already paid the deposit are not part of this scheme.
How to Apply: Email Submission and Timeline
To apply for candidature re-initialisation, you must send an official email to westbengalcounselingcell@gmail.com. The submission window is strictly between September 16, 2026 (10:00 AM) and September 18, 2026 (12:00 Midnight). Missing this deadline will mean losing the opportunity to participate in Round 3.
Your email should clearly state your intention to re-register and include your NEET UG roll number and application number for identification. WBMCC will process these requests and notify eligible candidates about the next steps on the official portal.
- Email address: westbengalcounselingcell@gmail.com
- Start date: September 16, 2026 at 10:00 AM
- End date: September 18, 2026 at 12:00 Midnight
- Include your NEET UG roll number and application number in the email
Fresh Payment Requirements for Round 3 Participation
Once your re-registration request is approved, you will be required to make a fresh payment comprising two components: the non-refundable counselling registration fee and the revised security deposit amount for private college state quota seats. This is a mandatory step to activate your candidature for Round 3.
The payment must be completed through the official WBMCC portal (wbmcc.nic.in) using online modes such as net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI. After payment, you will receive a confirmation slip and receipt that you should retain for your records.
- Non-refundable registration fee (fresh payment)
- Revised security deposit amount (fresh payment)
- Payment methods: Net banking, debit card, credit card, UPI
- Portal: wbmcc.nic.in
What Happens to Your Earlier Deposit and Registration Fee?
If you had already paid the ₹2 lakh security deposit during your initial registration for private college state quota seats, that amount will be refunded to you after the entire counselling process concludes. However, the registration fee you paid during your first registration is forfeited and will not be returned under any circumstances.
This means you will lose the initial registration fee but recover the security deposit. The refund of the security deposit will be processed only after all counselling rounds are complete, so do not expect immediate reimbursement.
- Earlier ₹2 lakh security deposit: Refunded after counselling ends
- Initial registration fee: Forfeited (non-refundable)
- Refund timeline: After completion of entire counselling process
Step-by-Step Portal Payment Process
Once your re-registration is approved and you receive notification, log into the WBMCC portal using your NEET UG roll number, application number, password, and security PIN. Navigate to the payment section on your dashboard and select the 'Fee Payment / Security Deposit' option for Round 3.
Choose the appropriate fee slab based on whether you are seeking a government college seat or a private medical institution seat. The portal will automatically calculate the security deposit amount. Complete the payment using your preferred online method and immediately download and print the payment confirmation slip and receipt for your records.

Important Disclaimers About Private College Fees
The WBMCC has clarified that it assumes no responsibility for the fee structures or payment modes of private medical colleges. If you are allotted a seat at a private institution in Round 3, you must contact the college directly to understand their tuition fees, payment schedules, and any other financial requirements.
The security deposit paid to WBMCC is separate from the college's tuition fees. Do not confuse the two. Verify all fee details with your allotted college before confirming your admission.
- WBMCC does not set or control private college tuition fees
- Contact your allotted college directly for fee information
- Security deposit to WBMCC ≠ college tuition fees
- Verify all financial details before confirming admission

This re-registration window is a genuine lifeline if you were stuck after Round 2 due to financial constraints or administrative issues.
