The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has released the final stray vacancy round allotment for NEET UG 2026 on October 23, 2026. This is the last opportunity for candidates to secure an MBBS or BDS seat in West Bengal government and private colleges for the 2026–27 academic year. Allotted candidates have a narrow three-day window—October 23 to October 26—to report to their designated college with original documents and admission fees. Missing this deadline means losing the seat permanently, as no further counselling rounds will be held.
If you received a stray round allotment, you must report to your college between October 23 and October 26, 2026, or your seat will be forfeited.

The stray vacancy round is the final stage of West Bengal's NEET UG counselling process. It fills seats that remained empty after the main counselling rounds and mop-up phases. For many candidates who did not secure a seat in earlier rounds, this represents their last chance to gain admission to an MBBS or BDS programme in the state.
After October 26, 2026, WBMCC will not conduct any further counselling rounds. Any seats left vacant after the stray round will be managed according to state and National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines, which may include spot admissions or other mechanisms outside the regular counselling process. This makes timely reporting absolutely critical.
Reporting Schedule and Time Slots for Stray Round Allotment
WBMCC has divided the reporting window into three separate days with specific time slots. Candidates must arrive at their allotted college during one of these windows. The schedule is designed to manage the flow of candidates and allow colleges to complete document verification and fee collection efficiently.
It is important to note that reporting can only happen during the designated times. Arriving outside these windows or after October 26 will result in rejection of your admission, regardless of the reason. Plan your travel and document arrangement well in advance to meet the deadline.
- October 23, 2026: 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Essential Documents You Must Carry to the College
Colleges will not admit you without proper documentation. You must bring original documents along with two sets of self-attested photocopies. The college will verify these documents before confirming your admission and processing the fee payment. Incomplete documentation can delay or prevent your admission.
Prepare all documents in advance and organize them in a folder. Do not rely on obtaining documents on the day of reporting, as this will waste time and may cause you to miss the reporting window. If you are missing any certificate (such as a domicile certificate), apply for it immediately.

Who Is Eligible for the Stray Vacancy Round?
Not all NEET UG candidates are eligible for the stray round. You must have been registered with WBMCC and included in the verified candidate list to participate. Additionally, you must have filled in your course and college choices during the designated choice-filling window (October 17–18, 2026).
Candidates who were already allotted and admitted in an earlier round cannot participate in the stray round. The allotment is strictly merit-based and follows your locked choices, category, and eligibility. If you did not fill choices during the specified window, you cannot participate in this round.
What Happens If You Miss the Reporting Deadline?
If you do not report by October 26, 2026, your allotted seat will be forfeited automatically. There is no grace period, no exceptions, and no opportunity to report later. The college will move on to the next candidate on the waiting list, and you will lose your chance at admission for the 2026–27 academic year.

What to Expect During College Reporting
When you arrive at the college during the reporting window, you will be directed to the admission office. College staff will verify your original documents against your photocopies and check your allotment letter. This process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the college's workload.
After document verification, you will be asked to pay the admission fee. Most colleges accept online payment, demand draft, or cash. Once the fee is paid and a receipt is issued, your admission is confirmed. The college will provide you with further instructions regarding hostel registration, course commencement, and other formalities.
After Reporting: What Comes Next?
After you complete reporting and pay the admission fee, your seat is secured. The college will provide you with an admission confirmation letter and details about course commencement. Watch the WBMCC portal and your college's official website for announcements regarding the final admission list and class start date.
If any seats remain vacant after October 26, WBMCC will handle them according to state and NMC guidelines. Your focus should now shift to preparing for the MBBS or BDS programme and completing any remaining admission formalities with your college.
