West Bengal NEET PG 2026: Complete List of 150+ Participating Medical Colleges & Hospitals

West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has released the official list of all medical colleges, hospitals and institutes participating in NEET PG 2026 counselling for postgraduate medical admission. The list includes 150+ institutions across West Bengal — government medical colleges, state-run district and sub-divisional hospitals, central government institutes, and private medical colleges. This is the definitive directory of where you can apply for MD, MS, PG Diploma and DNB broad-speciality seats during the counselling process. Every institute on this list is eligible to offer postgraduate medical seats through NEET PG 2026 counselling.

What is this list and why does it matter?

The Participating Institutes List is the official directory published by West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) of every medical college, hospital and institute in West Bengal that will offer postgraduate medical seats during NEET PG 2026 counselling. This list is your roadmap: it tells you exactly which institutions are in the counselling pool, where they are located, and whom to contact.

If an institute is NOT on this list, it will NOT participate in NEET PG 2026 counselling — you cannot apply for seats there through the state counselling process. Conversely, every institute on this list is confirmed to have seats available for allocation during counselling rounds. This list is therefore essential for planning your choices and understanding the full scope of opportunities available to you in West Bengal.

Types of institutes on the list

The list includes four categories of medical institutions: (1) State Government medical colleges and hospitals — including district medical colleges, sub-divisional hospitals, and specialty hospitals run by the West Bengal government; (2) Central Government institutes — such as AIIHPH (All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health), Command Hospital EC Alipore, and ESI PGIMSR Joka; (3) Private University/Institute medical colleges — including IQ City Medical College Durgapur, KPC Medical College, ICARE Haldia, and others; and (4) Specialty institutes — such as School of Tropical Medicine Kolkata, Institute of Child Health Kolkata, and Dr. B.C. Roy Post Graduate Institute of Paediatric Sciences.

Each category may have different seat allocations, fee structures and eligibility rules during counselling. State government institutes typically have the largest number of seats and are often more affordable; central government institutes have limited seats but high prestige; private institutes have fewer seats but may offer specialized programs. Understanding which category your preferred institute falls into will help you plan your choice strategy.

• State Government: medical colleges, district hospitals, sub-divisional hospitals, specialty hospitals
• Central Government: AIIHPH, Command Hospital, ESI PGIMSR, ESIC Medical College
• Private University/Institute: IQ City, KPC Medical College, ICARE Haldia, GIMS Durgapur, JIMS Budge Budge, SRIMS & Sanaka, JIS School of Medical Science
• Specialty Institutes: School of Tropical Medicine, Institute of Child Health, Dr. B.C. Roy PGIPS, Infectious Diseases & Beliaghata General Hospital

How to use this list to plan your choices

During NEET PG 2026 counselling, you will be asked to rank your preferred institutes and specialties in order of choice. This list helps you identify which institutes offer which specialties, their locations, and their contact details. Before counselling begins, you should: (1) identify 10–20 institutes from this list that interest you based on location, reputation, and specialty availability; (2) note their abbreviations (e.g., IPGMER, R G KAR MC, NBMCH) — these abbreviations will appear in the counselling portal; (3) save the contact details of the heads of department or principals so you can reach out with questions about seat availability, fees, or hostel facilities.

The list is organized alphabetically by institute name, making it easy to search. Each entry includes the institute's full name, abbreviation, type (government/private/central), complete address, contact phone number, email, head's name and designation. Use this information to cross-check institutes you are considering and to verify that they are indeed participating in NEET PG 2026 counselling.

• Identify 10–20 institutes of interest from the list
• Note the abbreviation of each institute (used in the counselling portal)
• Save contact details of the principal or head of department
• Verify the institute type (government/private/central) to understand seat allocation and fees
• Check the address and location to assess feasibility
• Reach out to institutes before counselling to ask about seat availability in your specialty

This groundwork will help you make informed choices during counselling and avoid surprises after allotment.

• Use the phone number and email provided for each institute
• Ask to speak with the principal, dean, or head of postgraduate studies
• Confirm the number of seats in your specialty
• Verify the fee structure (especially for private institutes)
• Ask about hostel availability and accommodation costs
• Clarify any institute-specific admission requirements or documents
• Ask about the expected joining date and program duration
• Request information about faculty, infrastructure, and clinical exposure
