If you are a NEET UG aspirant in West Bengal awaiting your Round 2 seat allotment, today marks 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 this deadline passes, no changes to your choices will be permitted. Tomorrow, September 15, the committee will announce which college and course you have been allotted, and you will then have 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 seat allotment result will be released tomorrow, and you must report to your college between September 16–18 to secure your admission.
What is happening today: the choice locking deadline
Today, September 14, 2026, is the final day for all eligible NEET UG candidates in West Bengal to complete their choice-filling and choice-locking process for Round 2 counselling. This is your last opportunity to tell WBMCC which medical and dental colleges you wish to be considered for, and in what order of preference. The choice-locking step is crucial because it confirms your final preferences and prevents accidental changes.
Before you lock your choices, you must carefully review the seat matrix—a document that shows how many MBBS and BDS seats are available at each college in West Bengal, broken down by category (General, OBC, SC, ST) and by merit rank. Matching your rank and category against this matrix helps you make informed decisions about which colleges are realistic options for you. Once you lock your choices, the system will not allow any edits, so take time to verify everything is correct.
When will your seat allotment result be announced?
On September 15, 2026, the day after the choice-locking deadline, WBMCC will release the Round 2 Seat Allotment Result. This result will tell you which college and which course (MBBS or BDS) you have been assigned to, based on your rank, category, and the preferences you locked today. The allotment is generated by a computerised merit-based algorithm that respects your choices while also ensuring fair distribution of seats across all eligible candidates.
You will be able to access your allotment result by logging into the official WBMCC portal at wbmcc.nic.in using your NEET UG Roll Number and password. It is important to download and print multiple copies of your seat allotment letter immediately, as you will need to present these documents when you report to your college.
How to download your seat allotment letter on September 15
Once the allotment result is declared on September 15, follow these steps to retrieve your allotment letter. First, visit the official WBMCC website at wbmcc.nic.in.

Physical reporting to your college: September 16–18
After you receive your allotment result, you must report physically to your assigned college within the next three days: September 16, 17, or 18, 2026. The reporting window is open from 10 AM to 4 PM on each of these days. This is not optional—if you do not report within this timeframe, your seat may be cancelled and offered to another candidate on the waiting list.
For government medical and dental colleges, reporting typically takes place at a centralised venue or directly at the college, as per WBMCC instructions. For private medical colleges, you will report directly at the college's admission office. Bring your original documents (10th and 12th mark sheets, NEET admit card, NEET result, Aadhaar, caste certificate if applicable, and any other documents specified by the college) for verification. The college will conduct document verification, collect fees, and complete your admission formalities on the same day or over the three-day window.
- Reporting dates: September 16, 17, and 18, 2026
- Reporting time: 10 AM to 4 PM each day
- Location: Your assigned college (government colleges may have a centralised reporting centre; private colleges report directly at the college)
- Bring original documents: 10th and 12th mark sheets, NEET admit card, NEET result, Aadhaar, caste certificate (if applicable), and any other documents requested by the college
- Complete document verification and fee payment during reporting
- Failure to report within the deadline may result in cancellation of your seat
Why choice locking matters: avoiding regret and securing your seat
The choice-locking step is one of the most important moments in your counselling journey. Once you lock your choices, you are telling WBMCC exactly which colleges and courses you are willing to accept. The allotment algorithm will then match you to a seat based on your rank and these locked preferences. If you lock choices carelessly or without thinking through the implications, you may end up with a college or course you did not actually want, or you may miss out on a better option because you ranked it lower than you should have.
Take time today to think about your priorities. Are you more interested in a particular college, or a particular course? Do you have a geographic preference (e.g., colleges closer to home)? Are there colleges you would not want to attend under any circumstances? Rank your choices in order of genuine preference, not in order of perceived prestige or what others tell you to choose. This is your career and your future—make the choice that is right for you.
What if you do not get a seat in Round 2?
If your rank does not match any of the seats available in Round 2, or if all your locked choices have been filled by higher-ranked candidates, you will not receive an allotment in this round. However, this does not mean your counselling journey is over. WBMCC typically conducts additional rounds of counselling (Round 3, Mop-Up, or Stray Vacancy rounds) to fill any remaining seats. Keep checking the WBMCC website for announcements about subsequent rounds and be ready to participate if you are eligible.
In the meantime, do not panic. Many seats remain unfilled after each round, and your chances of getting a seat may improve in later rounds. Stay in touch with the official WBMCC portal and ensure your contact details are up to date so you receive notifications about future rounds.
Common mistakes to avoid before locking your choices today
Many candidates make preventable errors during choice-filling that they later regret. One common mistake is locking choices without checking the seat matrix or understanding which colleges have seats available in your category and rank range. Another is ranking colleges based on what friends or family suggest, rather than your own genuine preferences. A third mistake is leaving the choice-filling to the last minute, which increases the risk of technical errors or forgetting to lock your choices altogether.
To avoid these pitfalls, log in to the WBMCC portal well before the deadline today. Carefully review the seat matrix and cross-check your rank against the available seats. Discuss your preferences with your parents or a trusted counsellor, but ultimately make your own decision. Double-check that you have locked your choices (not just filled them) before the deadline. If you encounter any technical issues, contact WBMCC support immediately rather than waiting until the last hour.
- Do not fill choices without reviewing the seat matrix
- Do not rank colleges based solely on others' opinions
- Do not wait until the last minute to lock your choices
- Do verify that your choices are actually locked, not just filled
- Do contact WBMCC support if you face technical problems

What happens if I do not lock my choices by the end of today?
If you do not lock your choices by the deadline on September 14, 2026, you will not be considered for seat allotment in Round 2. Your application will be held for potential consideration in later rounds (if any), but you will miss this opportunity. It is critical that you log in and lock your choices before the portal closes today.
Can I change my choices after I lock them?
No. Once you lock your choices, the system does not allow any changes. This is why it is important to carefully review your preferences before locking. If you realise you made a mistake after locking, you cannot undo it for Round 2, but you may have the opportunity to participate in subsequent rounds with different choices.
How do I know which colleges have seats available in my category and rank?
WBMCC publishes a seat matrix that shows the number of MBBS and BDS seats available at each college, broken down by category (General, OBC, SC, ST) and by merit rank. You can access this matrix on the WBMCC website. Compare your NEET UG rank and category against this matrix to identify colleges where you have a realistic chance of getting a seat.
When will I know which college I have been allotted to?
Your seat allotment result will be released on September 15, 2026. You can check your allotment by logging into the WBMCC portal at wbmcc.nic.in using your NEET UG Roll Number and password. The result will show your assigned college, course (MBBS or BDS), and seat category.
What documents do I need to bring when I report to my college?
Bring your original documents for verification, including your 10th and 12th mark sheets, NEET admit card, NEET result, Aadhaar card, and caste certificate (if applicable). The college may also request other documents such as a medical fitness certificate or character certificate. Check the college's website or the allotment letter for a complete list of required documents.
What if I cannot report to my college within the September 16–18 window?
If you do not report within the designated three-day window (September 16–18, 10 AM to 4 PM), your seat may be cancelled and offered to another candidate. It is essential that you make arrangements to report in person during this period. If you face a genuine emergency, contact the college and WBMCC immediately to explain your situation, though extensions are rarely granted.
What happens if I do not get a seat in Round 2?
If you do not receive an allotment in Round 2, you will be eligible to participate in subsequent rounds of counselling (such as Round 3, Mop-Up, or Stray Vacancy rounds) if WBMCC conducts them. Keep monitoring the WBMCC website for announcements about future rounds and ensure your contact details are current so you receive notifications.
Can I rank colleges in any order I want, or are there restrictions?
You can rank colleges in any order that reflects your genuine preferences. There are no restrictions on the order, but remember that the allotment algorithm will try to match you to the highest-ranked college on your list where a seat is available in your rank and category. Rank colleges honestly according to your priorities, not based on perceived prestige or what others suggest.
Today is your final opportunity to lock your choices for West Bengal NEET Round 2 counselling. Take time to review the seat matrix, think carefully about your preferences, and lock your choices before the deadline ends. Tomorrow, check the WBMCC portal for your allotment result, and be ready to report to your assigned college between September 16–18 to secure your admission.
