If you're a NEET UG candidate hoping for an MBBS or BDS seat through West Bengal's state quota, there's a schedule update you should know about. The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has published a revised provisional merit list for Round 1, and the count of eligible candidates has gone up — from 9,431 to 10,085. This matters because your eligibility status and rank position on this list decide whether you can fill choices in Round 1, and any error here can cost you a seat. The final seat allotment result for Round 1 is expected shortly after, so this is a good moment to double-check where you stand.
Every West Bengal NEET UG candidate should re-check their name, category and rank on the revised Round 1 merit list immediately, since eligibility numbers have changed and Round 1 allotment results follow soon after.
What actually changed
A 'provisional merit list' in state counselling is not the final seat-allotment outcome — it is simply the list of candidates the counselling authority currently considers eligible to participate in choice filling for that round, based on document verification and registration data.
WBMCC first published this list with 9,431 eligible candidates. It has now issued a revised version showing 10,085 eligible candidates for Round 1 — an increase of 654 candidates. This kind of revision typically happens when the counselling authority updates eligibility after resolving discrepancies, verifying pending documents, or correcting earlier omissions. WBMCC has not detailed the specific reason for each addition in its public notice.
- Original provisional list: 9,431 eligible candidates
- Revised provisional list: 10,085 eligible candidates
- Released on: August 25, 2026
- Applies to: Round 1 Choice Filling of WB NEET UG 2026 counselling
Why this matters if you're a candidate
If your name was missing from the earlier list, you may now be included — meaning you could be eligible to fill choices for Round 1 when you were not before. Conversely, if you were on the list earlier and don't see confirmation now, that needs urgent attention.
Because choice filling and seat allotment happen on a tight timeline, being added late still gives you a genuine shot at Round 1 provided the choice filling window is still open when you check. Missing this step, or assuming your status hasn't changed, is the kind of avoidable mistake that costs candidates a full round of counselling.
Dates to track
The revised list came out on August 25, 2026. WBMCC has indicated the final seat allotment result for Round 1 is likely to be announced around August 31, 2026. Treat this as an expected date, not a guaranteed one — always confirm on the official WBMCC website before making plans around it.
After the final Round 1 result is declared, allotted candidates must report to their allotted college within the reporting window that WBMCC will separately announce. Missing the reporting deadline can mean losing the allotted seat.

- On or around August 31, 2026: Expected final Round 1 seat allotment result
- Post-result: College reporting window (exact dates to be notified by WBMCC)
What to do right now
Don't wait for the final allotment to check your status — act on the revised provisional list today.
- Download the revised PDF from the official WBMCC website (www.wbmcc.nic.in) and search for your roll number/name carefully.
- If you find an error — wrong category, missing name, incorrect rank — raise it immediately through the Candidates Grievances and Query Redressal System on the candidate login portal. Don't delay; corrections have a limited window.
- If you are now eligible and weren't before, log in and complete or update your choice filling before the window closes.
- Keep your original documents and proof of NEET UG score ready, since any allotted seat will require in-person or online verification before you can join.
- Bookmark the WBMCC site and check it daily until Round 1 results and reporting dates are confirmed — schedules for state counselling can shift by a day or two.

What is the difference between a provisional merit list and the final seat allotment result?
The provisional merit list only tells you whether you are currently eligible to participate in choice filling for a round. The final seat allotment result, expected around August 31, 2026 for Round 1, tells you which specific college and course seat, if any, you have actually been allotted.
Why did the number of eligible candidates increase from 9,431 to 10,085?
WBMCC has not publicly explained each addition. Such revisions usually happen because pending document verifications or earlier discrepancies get resolved before the round closes, allowing more candidates to be added to the eligible list.
I wasn't eligible in the first list — am I eligible now?
You need to check the revised list yourself using your roll number, since the eligible count has risen by 654 candidates. If you find your name now included, you should complete choice filling as soon as possible if the window is still open.
What should I do if I find an error in the revised list?
Report it immediately through the Candidates Grievances and Query Redressal System available on the WBMCC candidate login portal. Do not wait, as corrections are typically only accepted within a short window before the round is finalised.
What happens after Round 1 seat allotment if I get a seat?
You will need to report to your allotted medical or dental college within the reporting window WBMCC announces after the result, complete admission formalities, and have your documents verified before you can start attending classes.
Where can I check the official revised merit list and later results?
All official lists, results and notices for West Bengal NEET UG counselling are published only on the WBMCC website, www.wbmcc.nic.in. Avoid relying on unofficial forwards or screenshots for such time-sensitive information.
West Bengal NEET UG aspirants should check the revised merit list today, not after the final result is out — a five-minute check now can prevent losing a Round 1 opportunity. Keep watching the WBMCC website for the confirmed Round 1 allotment date and the reporting schedule that follows.
