West Bengal NEET UG 2026 —
Revised Round 1 Schedule Published
WBMCC has issued a materially revised Round 1 schedule — Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2190, dated 20 August 2026 — superseding the 11 August memo we reported earlier. A second registration window has opened, verification now runs across four dates, and every step after it has moved back by roughly a week: choice filling 25–27 August, allotment result 31 August, reporting 1–5 September. Full table below.

View West Bengal MBBS Fees →The short version. WBMCC has revised its Round 1 schedule for the second time — Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2190, dated 20 August 2026. Registration and fee payment now run in two windows: the original 13–16 August window, plus a fresh window from 3:00 PM, 20 August to 6:00 PM, 23 August. Software-assigned verification runs across four dates — 14, 17, 18, 21 and 24 August. The list of successfully verified candidates and the seat matrix now publish 25 August, after 12 noon. Choice filling and locking runs 4:00 PM, 25 August to 4:00 PM, 27 August. The allotment result publishes 31 August, after 4:00 PM. Reporting and admission now runs over four days: 1, 2, 3 and 5 September, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Private medical college admissions happen at government colleges in Kolkata, not the private campus; private dental colleges report centrally at Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College.
Revised · Memo No. 2190 supersedes Memo No. 2055 · 20 August 2026
This is not a minor extension — the whole back half of the Round 1 schedule has moved. The original memo (No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2055, dated 11 August 2026) had verification, seat matrix and choice filling all landing in the 19–21 August window. The revised Memo No. 2190, dated 20 August 2026, opens a second registration and payment window (20–23 August) alongside the original one, adds two more verification dates (21 and 24 August), and pushes the seat matrix, choice filling, result and reporting each back by roughly a week. If you registered and were verified under the original 13–16 August window, your registration carries forward — this revision mainly matters to candidates who missed that window, and it resets every downstream date for everyone.
Eight Steps,
Registration to Reporting
| # | Event | Date & Time (server time) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Publication of Notice cum Information Bulletin and Schedule | 11 August 2026 |
| 2 | Online registration by NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates | 11 AM, 13 Aug – 6 PM, 16 Aug & 3 PM, 20 Aug – 6 PM, 23 Aug |
| 3 | Online fee payment | 11 AM, 13 Aug – midnight, 16 Aug & 3 PM, 20 Aug – midnight, 23 Aug |
| 4 | Verification at software-designated college and slot (not for NRI candidates — see Notice Point 3) | 14, 17 & 18 Aug, 11 AM–4 PM & 21, 24 Aug, 11 AM–4 PM |
| 5 | Publication of successfully verified candidate list and seat matrix, Round 1 | 25 August, after 12 noon |
| 6 | Choice filling and locking by verified candidates | 4 PM, 25 Aug – 4 PM, 27 Aug |
| 7 | Publication of allotment result, Round 1 | 31 August, after 4 PM |
| 8 | Reporting & admission of allotted candidates, with documents, college fee and bond, after physical re-verification (private medical colleges admit at government colleges in Kolkata; private dental colleges at Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College) | 1, 2, 3 & 5 September, 10 AM–4 PM |
The seat-surrender step from the previous memo is not restated here. Memo No. 2055 (11 August) listed a ninth row — online seat surrender, 3 September, 11 AM–4 PM. The revised Memo No. 2190's eight-row schedule doesn't repeat it. That could mean it has been dropped, merged into the reporting window, or is simply coming in a later notice — we can't tell from this memo alone. If seat surrender applies to you, confirm directly on wbmcc.nic.in rather than assuming either way.
The detail almost everyone misses
A private college allotment does not mean reporting at the private college. The revised memo repeats the same instruction as the original: for all Private Medical Colleges, admission is processed at different Government Medical Colleges in Kolkata, with the specific venue published separately on the WBMCC website. For all Private Dental Colleges, every candidate reports to one centralised venue — Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College — regardless of which private dental college they were allotted. If you are travelling from outside Kolkata to report, confirm the exact government college venue on the WBMCC website before you book travel, not after.
The Software Assigns
Your College and Time
After you register and pay, the system — not you — assigns a designated college and time slot for document verification. Under the revised schedule this now spans five separate dates: 14, 17 and 18 August for candidates who registered in the first window, and 21 and 24 August for the second. There is no booking interface where you pick a convenient date. Keep whichever of these dates applies to your registration window genuinely free until you see your assigned slot.
NRI candidates are explicitly exempted from this verification step under Point 3 of the official notice. We have not seen the full text of that point, so if you are applying under NRI quota, get the NRI-specific process confirmed directly from WBMCC rather than assuming it mirrors the general process described here.
Source and scope. Every date and step on this page comes from WBMCC's Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2190, dated 20 August 2026, titled “Revised Tentative Schedule for Round 1 of Counseling WB NEET UG 2026 for State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota Seats in West Bengal,” signed by the Director of Medical Education and Chairman of the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee. It supersedes the earlier Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2055, dated 11 August 2026. It covers Round 1 only; fees, eligibility criteria and later rounds are published separately. As of 25 August 2026, no further revision to this schedule has been issued: WBMCC published its “Revised Provisional List of Candidates Eligible for Choice Filling in Round-1 (as on 25-08-2026)” on wbmcc.nic.in that morning, confirming Step 5 and the 25–27 August choice filling window are running on schedule. Confirm every date on wbmcc.nic.in before you act on it. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm, not an agent of WBMCC, and cannot influence any allotment.
How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website on 20 August 2026 and rechecked on 25 August 2026, with no revision found on the latter date. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee.

We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score.
Questions Parents Ask Us
Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2190, dated 20 August 2026, titled “Revised Tentative Schedule for Round 1 of Counseling WB NEET UG 2026 for State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota Seats in West Bengal.” It replaces the earlier Memo No. 2055 of 11 August 2026 and sets out a materially different Round 1 timetable, from a second registration window through to reporting.
In two windows. The first ran 11:00 AM on 13 August to 6:00 PM on 16 August 2026 — already closed. A second window has now opened: 3:00 PM on 20 August to 6:00 PM on 23 August 2026, server time. Online fee payment mirrors this with a slightly longer close each time — midnight on 16 August for the first window, and midnight on 23 August for the second.
After successful registration and fee payment, the software assigns each candidate a verification slot at an already designated college. Under the revised memo this runs on four dates: 14, 17 and 18 August (11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, for the first registration window), and 21 and 24 August (11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, for the second window). The step does not apply to NRI candidates, who should refer to Point 3 of the official notice for their separate process.
The list of successfully verified candidates and the Round 1 seat matrix now publish on 25 August, after 12 noon — a full six days later than the 19 August date in the previous memo. Choice filling and locking runs from 4:00 PM on 25 August to 4:00 PM on 27 August. The allotment result publishes on 31 August, after 4:00 PM. Reporting and admission of allotted candidates now runs over four days — 1, 2, 3 and 5 September, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM — with original documents, the college fee, and a bond, after physical re-verification.
Not at the private college itself. The revised memo repeats the same instruction as before: for all Private Medical Colleges, the admission process will be conducted at different Government Medical Colleges in Kolkata, with the specific venue notice published separately on the WBMCC website. For all Private Dental Colleges, reporting is centralised at Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College. Do not travel to the private college campus expecting to complete admission there.
No. The previous memo (No. 2055, 11 August) listed a separate online seat-surrender window on 3 September, 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, as its ninth and final step. The revised Memo No. 2190 we have doesn't restate that step within its eight-row schedule — that may mean it has been dropped, folded into the reporting window, or simply left for a later notice. Treat seat surrender as unconfirmed and check wbmcc.nic.in directly if it applies to you.
