West Bengal UG Medical & Dental Counselling 2026 Round 1 Server Time Extended

In a relief to candidates, the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has announced an extension of the server time for completing Round 1 admission formalities under West Bengal UG Medical & Dental Counselling 2026. As per the latest notice published on the official counselling portal, the server will now remain accessible till 9:00 PM on September 5, 2026, instead of the earlier scheduled cut-off time.

Why the Extension Was Announced

Server time extensions during counselling rounds are typically granted to accommodate technical glitches, heavy traffic load on the portal, or to give candidates sufficient opportunity to complete pending admission steps such as document upload, fee payment, or seat confirmation – without being disadvantaged due to last-minute system issues.

This extension is expected to benefit a large number of candidates who were in the process of completing their Round 1 admission at their allotted colleges but could not do so within the original deadline.

What Candidates Should Do Now

• Log in immediately to the official WBMCC counselling portal using registered credentials.
• Complete all pending steps – including fee payment, document upload, and downloading of the seat confirmation/allotment slip – before 9:00 PM on 05.09.2026.
• Avoid last-minute login attempts, as heavy traffic close to the deadline may cause delays or portal slowdowns.
• Keep a printout/screenshot of the confirmation slip or payment receipt as proof of successful admission.

Important Note for Candidates

Since the notice specifically mentions this as a server time extension (and not a full schedule revision), candidates should treat 9:00 PM on September 5, 2026 as the final and firm deadline for Round 1 admission-related activities at their allotted college. Any candidate who fails to complete the process within this extended window may risk losing their allotted seat as per standard counselling rules.

Stay Updated for Further Rounds

Following the completion of Round 1, candidates should keep an eye out for:

• Publication of vacant seats after Round 1
• Schedule announcement for Round 2 registration and choice filling
• Any further notices regarding seat upgradation or reset options

Candidates are strongly advised to regularly check the official WBMCC website and avoid relying on unofficial sources for updates, as counselling timelines are subject to change at short notice.
