The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has released the allotment results for the special stray round of NEET UG 2026 counselling, covering both MBBS and BDS seats. This is a critical final opportunity for candidates to secure a medical or dental seat in West Bengal colleges under state quota and private management quota categories. Allotted candidates must report to their assigned colleges within a narrow three-day window—November 13, 14, or 16—between 10 am and 4 pm, bringing original documents. Missing this deadline means losing the seat, as this round represents the last state-level counselling phase for the 2026 admission cycle.
If you are allotted a seat in West Bengal's special stray round, you must report to your college on November 13, 14, or 16 (10 am–4 pm) with original documents, or your seat will be forfeited.

Unlock My College ListWhat Is the Special Stray Round and Why Does It Matter?
The special stray round is the final counselling phase conducted by WBMCC for NEET UG 2026. It fills seats that remained vacant after all earlier rounds of counselling. For MBBS, this round operates as a dedicated special stray phase; for BDS, it functions as Round 5 of the counselling process. Both state quota and private management quota seats are allocated in this round.
This round is your last chance to secure a medical or dental seat in West Bengal through state counselling. Any seats not filled during this phase may remain vacant for the academic year, or colleges may resort to spot admissions outside the formal counselling process. For aspirants who did not get allotted in previous rounds but registered and completed verification for this round, this represents a final opportunity to enter an MBBS or BDS programme.

Original Documents You Must Carry to the College
Colleges will accept only original documents—photocopies alone will not be sufficient for admission. Before you travel to your allotted college, gather all the documents listed below and verify that each is an original, not a copy. Forgetting even one document may delay your admission or result in rejection.
Prepare a complete set of originals and keep a separate set of photocopies for your records. Some colleges may ask for photocopies to attach to your file, but the initial verification will be done against originals. If you are applying under state quota and have a domicile certificate, or if you belong to a reserved category, bring those certificates as well.
- Provisional allotment letter from WBMCC (printed from portal)
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
- Class 10 certificate (for date of birth proof)
- Class 12 marksheet and pass certificate
- Domicile certificate (if applying under state quota)
- Caste or category certificate (if applicable)
- Recent passport-size photographs (4–6 copies)
- Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, or driving licence)
Schedule Changes: How the Timeline Was Extended
WBMCC issued a revised schedule on November 4, 2026, extending key counselling phases by one day each to allow more candidates time to register, pay fees, and complete document verification. Online registration was extended from November 4 to November 5 (until 8 pm), and fee payment was extended to November 5 (until midnight). Document verification, originally scheduled for November 4–5, was extended through November 6.
Choice filling and locking was also pushed back by one day, moving from November 5–6 to November 6–7. However, the allotment result date remained unchanged at November 12 (after 2 pm). NRI candidates were exempted from the in-person document verification requirement. These extensions were designed to reduce last-minute rush and ensure that more eligible candidates could participate in this final round.

- Fee payment extended to November 5 (midnight)
- Document verification extended to November 6 (4 pm)
- Choice filling extended to November 7 (2 pm)

What Happens After You Report: Next Steps and Fees
Once you report to the college with your documents, the admission office will verify your originals against your application data. They will then inform you of the fee structure for your course and seat category. Private management quota seats typically have higher fees than state quota seats. Ask the college for a detailed fee breakdown, including tuition, hostel (if applicable), and other charges, before you commit.
After fee payment and document verification, the college will issue you a formal admission letter and provide details about the academic session start date, hostel allocation (if applicable), and any orientation or induction programmes. Keep all receipts and letters safely. The college will also add your name to the joined candidates list, which WBMCC will publish after the reporting deadline.
- College verifies your original documents
- College provides fee structure and payment details
- You pay the admission fee to the college
- College issues formal admission letter
- College provides academic session start date
- Your name appears on the joined candidates list
What If You Do Not Get Allotted in This Round?
If your roll number does not appear in the allotment result, it means no seat was available for you in this round based on your merit rank and choices. This does not mean you cannot pursue MBBS or BDS; it means you will need to explore other pathways. Some colleges may conduct spot admissions or management quota admissions outside the formal counselling process—watch the WBMCC portal and college websites for such notices.
You may also consider applying to medical colleges in other states that conduct their own counselling rounds, or explore private medical colleges that offer direct admissions. Some aspirants also choose to appear for NEET UG again in the next cycle. Whatever you decide, do not delay—contact colleges directly or check their websites for any remaining admission opportunities.
- Check WBMCC portal for spot admission or vacancy notices
- Contact your allotted college directly to ask about management quota seats
- Explore medical colleges in other states
- Consider private medical colleges with direct admissions
- Plan to appear for NEET UG in the next cycle if needed
Key Reminders: Avoid Common Mistakes
Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable mistakes. Do not assume that the college will contact you—it is your responsibility to check the result and report on time. Do not delay downloading your allotment letter; print it immediately after checking your result. Do not travel without verifying that you have all original documents; a missing document can result in rejection at the college gate.
Do not assume that November 13 or 14 will be less crowded and plan to report on November 16 at the last minute; colleges may face administrative delays, and you could miss the 4 pm deadline. Do not forget to ask the college about the exact fee amount and payment method before you report. Finally, do not discard your NEET scorecard, admit card, or any other document after admission—you may need them for future verification or if you apply for a transfer.
- Check result immediately after release
- Print allotment letter on the same day
- Gather all original documents before travelling
- Report early (not on the last day) to avoid delays
- Confirm fee details with the college in advance
- Keep all documents safely even after admission
