West Bengal NEET PG Counselling 2026: Latest Update

The schedule was reported on October 15, 2026, a few days after the Medical Counselling Committee began Round 1 registration for the All India Quota. West Bengal runs its own process for state seats, and registration is completed on the WBMCC PG medical counselling portal.

The state counselling covers state quota seats in government medical colleges, and state quota, management quota and NRI quota seats in private medical colleges, along with applicable DNB seats. Seat numbers for this year had not been published at the time of writing. Last year's counselling, for comparison, covered 1,671 MD, MS and PG Diploma seats in 26 medical colleges, according to a published report.

How This Fits the National NEET PG Calendar

The Medical Counselling Committee's schedule for NEET PG 2026 sets the state counselling Round 1 window from October 21 to November 2, with the last date of joining on November 10. West Bengal's reporting window, which ends on November 10, sits inside that limit.

The same MCC schedule places state Round 2 between November 14 and 23, Round 3 between December 4 and 12, and the state stray vacancy round between December 22 and 25, with December 31 as the final joining date. West Bengal's own dates for these later rounds are expected to follow these outer limits, but they have not been announced.
