The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC), under the Directorate of Medical Education, Government of West Bengal, has issued an urgent notice dated September 9, 2026, offering a one-time opportunity to certain Round 2 non-allotted candidates to re-register from Round 3 onwards for West Bengal NEET UG Counselling 2026. The notice specifically addresses candidates who could not fill choices for private medical or dental college seats because they were unable to deposit the applicable security amount.

As per the notice, eligible candidates who remained non-allotted through Round 2 and were unable to pay the applicable security deposit for Private Medical/Dental College State Quota or Management Quota choices can send an 'initialization' request from their NEET-registered email ID. Once initialized, the candidate becomes eligible for fresh re-registration from Round 3 onwards, along with fresh payment of the registration fee and applicable security deposit. WBMCC has clarified this is a one-time measure tied specifically to the Round 2 situation and does not guarantee any seat.

Who Is Eligible for This Opportunity

This provision is not a general fresh-registration announcement. It applies specifically to candidates who remained non-allotted through Round 2 and were unable to fill Private Medical/Dental College State Quota and/or Management Quota choices because they could not deposit the applicable security amount within the Round 2 timeline.

Security Deposit Rules Mentioned in the Notice

  • Private College State Quota seats: security deposit of Rs 2,00,000.
  • Private College Management Quota seats: security deposit of Rs 5,00,000.
  • Candidates who already deposited Rs 2,00,000 earlier will have that amount refunded only after the entire counselling process concludes.
  • The registration fee already paid by such candidates will be forfeited under the terms of this notice.
  • From Round 3 onwards, seat surrender is not permitted; admission becomes mandatory once a seat is allotted.

Request Window and Process

WBMCC has notified a specific window for eligible candidates to send their initialization request. The window opens at 10:00 AM on September 16, 2026 and closes at midnight on September 18, 2026. Candidates must send the request from the same email ID registered in their NEET data to the email address specified in the notice, westbengalcounselingcell@gmail.com. The notice does not guarantee that requests sent before or after this window will be accepted.

Background: WBMCC NEET UG Counselling 2026

WBMCC conducts state-level counselling for admission to MBBS and BDS courses in West Bengal, covering the 85 percent state quota seats in government medical and dental colleges, along with State Quota, Management Quota and NRI Quota seats in private medical colleges, and State Quota and Management Quota seats in private dental colleges. The counselling runs across multiple rounds, typically Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and a stray vacancy round, with the rules around fees, security deposits and seat-surrender flexibility becoming progressively stricter in the later rounds.
