WB NEET PG 2025 Counselling Revised: Round 3 Allotment Delayed, Stray Vacancy Phase Dates Out
The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has released a revised schedule for the West Bengal NEET PG Counselling 2025, introducing changes to crucial stages such as seat allotment, reporting timelines, and the stray vacancy round for postgraduate medical admissions under the state quota.
The updated timetable applies to candidates seeking admission to MD, MS, DNB, and Diploma courses through the state counselling process. As per the latest notification, the window for online choice filling and choice locking closed on February 12.
According to the revised counselling calendar, the Round 3 seat allotment result will be declared on February 16, 2026, after 4 PM. Candidates who are allotted seats in this round must report to their respective colleges for document verification and admission between February 17 and February 19, 2026, from 10 AM to 4 PM.
Allotted candidates are required to be physically present at the allotted institute with all original documents and the prescribed admission fee within the reporting window. Candidates who receive an upgraded seat from previous rounds must submit the necessary documents along with the server-generated relieving letter issued by their earlier allotted institute before joining the newly assigned college.
