The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has issued a revised tentative schedule for Round 3 and the Online Stray Vacancy Round of WB NEET UG Counselling 2026. It covers State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota seats. The notice (Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/3749) is dated October 12, 2026. It was issued by the Directorate of Medical Education, Government of West Bengal, and signed by Prof. (Dr.) Indrajit Saha, Director of Medical Education and Chairman of WBMCC.
WB NEET UG Round 3: new reporting dates
Allotted candidates must now report for admission on October 13, 14 and 15, 2026, from 10 am to 4 pm (as per server time). The earlier schedule had set reporting for October 12 to 14. The revised notice moves the window by one day.
Reporting venues:
- Private medical colleges: admission will take place at different Government Medical Colleges in Kolkata. A separate notice is on the website.
- Private dental colleges: admission will take place at Dr. R Ahmed Dental College.
Candidates must bring the original documents, the required college fee and the bond. Admission is confirmed only after physical document verification and successful re-verification. Candidates who were upgraded must first get their fee and documents back from the previous college, along with the server-generated relieving letter, before taking admission in the newly allotted college.
