WB PG Medical Counselling 2026: Step-by-Step Registration Guide

The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has released a comprehensive user manual for NEET-PG 2026 qualified candidates who wish to participate in West Bengal's postgraduate medical counselling. This manual walks you through every step of the online registration process on the WBMCC portal (https://wbmcc.nic.in/), from creating your account to paying the counselling fee and downloading your candidate profile. Whether you are applying for State Quota seats in government colleges, Private Management Quota seats, NRI Quota seats, or DNB courses, this guide explains exactly what you need to do, what documents to upload, and which quota options are available based on your eligibility. Understanding this process correctly is critical—mistakes in registration can lead to rejection or loss of your seat.

What is this manual and who needs it?

This is the official step-by-step guide for NEET-PG 2026 qualified candidates who want to participate in West Bengal's postgraduate medical counselling. It covers registration, application form completion, document upload, quota selection, fee payment, and profile download.

You must follow this process if you have qualified in NEET-PG 2026 and wish to apply for seats in West Bengal government medical colleges (State Quota), private medical colleges (State Quota or Management Quota), or DNB courses. The manual applies equally to all candidates regardless of category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS) or service status (in-service or open).

How to start: Access the portal and create your account

Go to https://wbmcc.nic.in/ and click on the 'PG Medical' menu. Then click on 'Candidate Registration and Login'. You will see two options: 'Registered Candidates Sign-In' (if you already have an account) and 'New Candidate Registration' (for first-time registration). Click on 'New Candidate Registration'.

You will be taken to an agreement page. Read the terms and conditions carefully—these explain your rights and responsibilities during the counselling process. Click 'I Agree' to proceed. Next, you will see a 'Consent Form for Counselling Purpose' that lists the personal information WBMCC will collect (name, roll number, mother's name, date of birth, mobile number, email, category, bank account details). Check each box to confirm you consent to the collection and use of this data, then click 'Agree'.

Critical: Enter your personal details exactly as they appear on your NEET admit card

On the registration form, you must enter your NEET-PG Roll Number, NEET-PG Application Number, Candidate Name, Mother's Name, and Date of Birth exactly as they appear on your NEET-PG admit card. Any mismatch—even a spelling difference or wrong date—will cause the system to reject your registration and you will not be able to proceed.

The system will validate your details against the official NEET-PG database. If validation fails, you will see an error message and must correct the information before you can continue. Take time to copy these details carefully from your admit card. If you are unsure of any field, check your admit card again rather than guessing.

• NEET-PG Roll Number (must match admit card exactly)
• NEET-PG Application Number (must match admit card exactly)
• Candidate Name (spelling and format must match admit card)
• Mother's Name (spelling and format must match admit card)
• Date of Birth (day, month, year must match admit card)
• Security Pin (as shown on the form)

Password policy: Create a strong password and keep it safe

You must create a password that meets these requirements: 8–13 characters long, at least one uppercase letter, at least one lowercase letter, at least one number, and at least one special character (e.g., ! @ # $ % ^ & * ). The system will display the password policy on screen. Type your password in the 'Password' field and confirm it again in the 'Confirm Password' field.

⚠️ CRITICAL TRAP: Your password is your sole responsibility. WBMCC and NIC will not be held responsible if you share your password with anyone or if someone misuses it. Never share your password via email, phone, or any other means. If you suspect your password has been compromised, use the 'Change Password' link immediately. Do not respond to any email or message asking for your password—this is a phishing scam.

• Password must be 8–13 characters long
• Must contain at least one uppercase letter (A–Z)
• Must contain at least one lowercase letter (a–z)
• Must contain at least one number (0–9)
• Must contain at least one special character (! @ # $ % ^ & *)
• Keep your password confidential—never share it
• Change your password regularly

OTP verification: Confirm your mobile number and email

After you submit your personal details and password, the system will send a One-Time Password (OTP) to both your registered mobile number and registered email address (the ones you used when filling the NEET-PG form). You will see a form asking you to enter either the mobile OTP or the email OTP (or both). Enter at least one valid OTP and click 'Verify & Final Submit'.

If you do not receive the OTP, click 'RESEND OTP' to request a new one. The OTP is valid for a limited time only. If the OTP expires, you must resend it. Once you successfully verify, your registration is complete and you will be taken to the Application Form page.

• OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number (via SMS)
• OTP will also be sent to your registered email address
• Enter either the mobile OTP or email OTP (or both)
• Click 'Verify & Final Submit' to confirm
• If OTP does not arrive, click 'RESEND OTP'
• OTP is valid for a limited time only

Application form: Fill in your personal, qualification, and internship details

After registration, you will see the Application Form with multiple sections. Start with 'Personal Details': enter your Father's Name, Mother's Name, Religion, and Category. The Category field is important—it determines which quota seats you are eligible for. Read the category rules below carefully.

Next, fill 'Bank Account Details (For fee refund if any)': enter the name of the account holder, account number, IFSC code, bank name, and branch name. Upload a clear image of a cancelled cheque, bank passbook, or online bank statement showing these account details. The image must be JPG format, 20–100 KB. This account will be used to refund your security deposit if applicable.

Then fill 'Qualification Details': enter your MBBS passing status (Passed), passing year, registration number, and the state where you passed MBBS. Finally, fill 'Internship Completion Details': enter the institute name, state, internship starting date, and internship completion date. ⚠️ TRAP: Candidates who have not completed one year of internship on or before 30 September 2026 are NOT eligible for counselling. If your internship completion date is after 30 September 2026, you cannot proceed.

Category rules: Know your eligibility based on your caste and service status

Your category determines which quota seats you can apply for. The rules are complex and depend on your caste (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS), whether you are in government service, where you completed your MBBS, and where you completed your internship. Read the rules below carefully—if you select the wrong category, you may lose your seat.

Once you click 'Save & Final Submit', a confirmation dialog will appear warning: 'These credentials will be used for seat allotment. So kindly verify all the details carefully before submission. Once submitted, these credentials cannot be changed again.' This is your last chance to make changes. If you proceed, your registration is locked and you cannot edit it until you pay the fee (and even then, only via the 'Registration Unlocking' option).

Read the warning carefully: 'This process will allow the candidate to edit his/her details submitted during the entire registration process. After Unlocking of Registration Process, it will be essential for the candidate to complete the Registration Process again and submit the final details, failing which the candidate will not be considered in seat Allocation process.'

This means: if you unlock, you MUST go through the entire registration process again and re-submit the final details. If you do not complete this re-submission, you will not be eligible for seat allotment. To unlock, you must enter your password and verify via OTP. After unlocking, you can edit any field. Once you have made corrections, you must go through the entire form again and click 'Save & Final Submit' again. ⚠️ TRAP: Registration unlocking is NOT allowed after you have paid the counselling fee.
