If you are a NEET UG aspirant in West Bengal awaiting your Round 2 seat allotment, today is a critical deadline. The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) is closing the window for candidates to fill and lock their college and course preferences for MBBS and BDS programmes today, September 14, 2026. Once you lock your choices, no further changes are permitted. Tomorrow, September 15, the committee will announce which college and course you have been allotted, and you will then have just three days to report physically to your assigned institution to complete admission formalities.

Lock your college and course preferences on wbmcc.nic.in by end of today (September 14); your allotment result will be released tomorrow, and you must report to your college between September 16–18 to secure your seat.

Why Today's Deadline Matters for Your NEET Admission

The choice-locking deadline is not a suggestion—it is a hard stop. After today, the WBMCC system will not accept any new preferences or modifications to existing ones. This means if you have not yet filled your college and course choices, or if you are unsure about the order in which you have ranked your preferred institutions, you need to act immediately.

Many aspirants delay this step, hoping to gather more information or change their minds. However, once the window closes, your ranking is final and will determine which seat you receive. The allotment algorithm uses your locked preferences to match you with available seats based on your NEET rank and the merit order of candidates.

Understanding the Choice-Locking Process Before the Deadline

Choice locking is the step where you confirm your final list of colleges and courses in your preferred order. Before locking, you should review the seat matrix—a document that shows how many MBBS and BDS seats are available at each college, broken down by category (General, OBC, SC, ST) and whether they are government or private institutions.

Carefully rank your choices from most preferred to least preferred. The allotment system will try to place you in the highest-ranked college where you are eligible and where a seat is available. If that college is full, the system moves to your next choice, and so on. This is why the order matters enormously. Once you lock, you cannot undo or reorder your choices, so think through your ranking thoughtfully before clicking the final button.

  • Review the seat matrix for all colleges you are considering
  • Rank colleges in genuine order of preference, not randomly
  • Check your eligibility (category, domicile, NEET score) against each college's requirements
  • Do not lock until you are completely certain of your ranking

What Happens After You Lock Your Choices

Once the choice-locking window closes at the end of today, the WBMCC will process all locked preferences overnight. The committee runs an allotment algorithm that matches your rank, category, and locked choices against available seats. This is a fully automated process designed to be fair and transparent.

Tomorrow morning, September 15, the allotment results will be published on the official WBMCC portal. You will be able to log in using your NEET UG roll number and password to see which college and course you have been allotted. This is the moment you discover whether you have received your first choice, a later preference, or whether you have been placed in a waitlist for a future round.

How to Check Your Allotment Result Tomorrow

The process to view your allotment is straightforward but requires you to be ready tomorrow. Visit the official WBMCC website at wbmcc.nic.in and navigate to the UG Medical & Dental Counselling section. Look for the link labeled 'WB NEET UG 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment Result' and click it.

You will be asked to log in using your NEET UG roll number and password. Once authenticated, your allotment details will appear on screen. You must download your seat allotment letter immediately and print multiple copies—you will need originals for document verification at your college. Do not rely on a single digital copy; colleges typically require printed letters for their records.

  • Visit wbmcc.nic.in
  • Go to UG Medical & Dental Counselling section
  • Click on Round 2 Seat Allotment Result link
  • Log in with NEET UG roll number and password
  • Download and print your allotment letter in multiple copies

Physical Reporting Timeline: You Have Only 3 Days

After receiving your allotment letter, you do not have unlimited time to report to your college. The WBMCC has set a strict three-day window: September 16, 17, and 18, 2026, from 10 AM to 4 PM. During these dates, you must visit your allotted college in person to complete admission formalities.

This is a critical step. If you do not report within this window, your seat may be cancelled and offered to the next eligible candidate on the waitlist. There are no extensions or exceptions for this deadline, so plan your travel and document preparation well in advance. If your allotted college is far from your home, arrange to travel immediately after receiving your allotment letter.

  • Reporting dates: September 16, 17, 18, 2026
  • Reporting time: 10 AM to 4 PM each day
  • Failure to report within this window may result in seat cancellation
  • For private medical colleges, reporting happens directly at the college, not at a central venue

Documents You Must Bring for Physical Reporting

When you report to your allotted college, you will need to bring original documents for verification. Colleges will cross-check your identity, educational qualifications, category certificate (if applicable), and other credentials against the information you provided in your NEET application. Bring all originals, not just photocopies, because colleges will not accept unverified copies.

Typical documents include your NEET admit card, NEET result/scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, category certificate (if SC/ST/OBC), domicile certificate, and any other document mentioned in the college's admission notification. The college will also collect fees during this visit, so be prepared with the payment method they accept (usually bank transfer or demand draft).

  • NEET admit card and result scorecard
  • 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates
  • Category certificate (if applicable)
  • Domicile certificate
  • Seat allotment letter (printed)
  • Any other document specified by the college

What If You Do Not Get Your First Choice?

Not every candidate receives their first-choice college in Round 2. If you are allotted a college lower on your preference list, you have two options: accept the allotment and report to that college, or decline and participate in a future round (if available) hoping for a better match.

If you decline, you forfeit your Round 2 seat and re-enter the counselling pool for Round 3 (if it is conducted). This is a calculated risk—you might get a better college in the next round, but you might also get a worse one, or no seat at all if fewer colleges participate. Carefully weigh this decision before declining an allotment. Many aspirants accept their Round 2 allotment rather than gamble on a future round.

Private vs. Government College Reporting: Know the Difference

If you are allotted a government medical or dental college, you will report to that college's designated admission centre during the official reporting window. If you are allotted a private college, the reporting process happens directly at the private college itself, not at a central venue. In both cases, the dates and times (September 16–18, 10 AM–4 PM) remain the same.

Private colleges may have slightly different admission procedures, so check your allotment letter carefully for the exact reporting location and any college-specific instructions. Do not assume all colleges follow identical processes; read the fine print on your allotment letter and the college's website before you travel.

Final Checklist Before Today's Deadline

As you approach the end of today, use this checklist to ensure you have completed the choice-locking process correctly. First, verify that you have logged into the WBMCC portal using your correct NEET UG roll number and password. Second, confirm that your personal details (name, category, NEET score) are displayed correctly on the portal.

Third, review the seat matrix one final time and ensure your college rankings reflect your genuine preferences. Fourth, lock your choices and take a screenshot or note of the confirmation message. Finally, keep your NEET roll number, password, and allotment letter details safe—you will need them to check your result tomorrow and for college reporting.

  • Log in with correct NEET UG roll number and password
  • Verify personal details are accurate
  • Review seat matrix and college rankings one last time
  • Lock choices and save confirmation message
  • Keep roll number and password secure for tomorrow's result check

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I do not lock my choices by end of today?

If you do not lock your choices by the deadline today (September 14, 2026), you will not be considered for Round 2 allotment. The WBMCC system will close automatically, and no further entries or changes will be accepted. You may be eligible for a future round if one is conducted, but you will miss Round 2 entirely. It is critical to lock your choices before the deadline.

Can I change my locked choices after today?

No. Once you lock your choices, no changes are permitted. The WBMCC explicitly states that no modifications will be allowed after the deadline. This is why it is essential to carefully review your ranking before locking. If you realize you made a mistake after locking, you cannot undo it for Round 2.

When will I know which college I have been allotted?

Your allotment result will be released on September 15, 2026. You can check it by logging into the WBMCC portal at wbmcc.nic.in using your NEET UG roll number and password. The result will show your allotted college, course (MBBS or BDS), and seat category.

What if I do not report to my allotted college within the three-day window?

If you do not report between September 16–18, 2026, your seat will be cancelled. The WBMCC will then offer your seat to the next eligible candidate on the waitlist. There are no extensions or exceptions for this deadline, so plan to report within the specified dates and times (10 AM–4 PM).

Do I need to bring original documents or photocopies to the college?

You must bring original documents for verification. Colleges will not accept photocopies alone. Bring originals of your NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th certificates, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and any other document specified by the college. The college will verify these against your application details.

What should I do if I am allotted a college that is not my first choice?

You have two options: accept the allotment and report to that college, or decline and wait for a future round (if available). If you decline, you forfeit your Round 2 seat and re-enter the counselling pool for Round 3. This is a risk because you might not get a better college in the next round. Many aspirants accept their Round 2 allotment rather than gamble on future rounds.

Is the reporting process different for private colleges?

Yes, slightly. For government colleges, you report to the college's designated admission centre. For private colleges, you report directly to the college itself. However, the dates and times remain the same (September 16–18, 10 AM–4 PM). Check your allotment letter for the exact reporting location and any college-specific instructions.

How do I download my allotment letter?

After logging into the WBMCC portal with your NEET UG roll number and password on September 15, your allotment details will appear. Click the download option to save your allotment letter as a PDF. Print multiple copies immediately—you will need originals for document verification at your college.

What is the seat matrix and why do I need to review it?

The seat matrix is a document showing how many MBBS and BDS seats are available at each college, broken down by category (General, OBC, SC, ST) and college type (government or private). You need to review it to understand which colleges have seats in your category and to make informed choices about which colleges to rank in your preference list.

Can I participate in Round 3 if I decline my Round 2 allotment?

If a Round 3 is conducted by WBMCC, you may be eligible to participate if you decline your Round 2 allotment. However, there is no guarantee that Round 3 will happen or that you will get a better college in it. Declining is a calculated risk—you might get a worse college or no seat at all. Carefully consider this before declining.

Today is your final opportunity to lock your college and course preferences for West Bengal NEET Round 2. Review your choices carefully, lock them before the deadline ends, and prepare to check your allotment result tomorrow morning. Once you receive your allotment letter, mark your calendar for the three-day reporting window (September 16–18) and gather all required original documents—missing this deadline will result in seat cancellation.
