The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has reached a crucial stage in NEET UG Medical & Dental Counselling 2026 (Round 2). As per the revised Round-2 schedule dated 03 September 2026, physical document verification for successfully registered candidates is scheduled on 8, 9 and 10 September 2026 (11:00 AM to 4:00 PM). With 10 September being the last scheduled day, candidates who are required to appear for verification must treat it as a key deadline.

WBMCC's UG Medical & Dental portal continues to display Round-2 registration and the updated schedule under the latest updates/notifications section, aligning with the revised timeline released earlier this month.

Round 2 schedule: Key dates candidates must track

  • Based on the official revised schedule, round 2 activities include:
  • Round-2 Registration: 7 Sept (1:00 PM) to 9 Sept (6:00 PM)
  • Online Fee Payment: 7 Sept (1:00 PM) to 9 Sept (midnight)
  • Physical Candidate Verification: 8, 9 & 10 Sept (11:00 AM–4:00 PM)
  • Online Seat Surrender Window: 11 & 12 Sept (10:00 AM–3:00 PM)
  • Verified Candidate List + Round-2 Seat Matrix: 12 Sept (after 4:00 PM)
  • Choice Filling & Locking: 12 Sept (6:00 PM) to 14 Sept (10:00 AM)
  • Round-2 Allotment Result: 15 Sept (after 6:00 PM)
  • Reporting & Admission: 16, 17 & 18 Sept (10:00 AM–4:00 PM)

With the verification process concluding today, the next major milestone will be the publication of the verified candidates' list and the Round-2 seat matrix on 12 September (after 4 PM), followed shortly by the choice filling window opening at 6 PM the same day.

Who must attend physical verification?

The Round-2 physical verification applies to candidates who have successfully completed registration and applicable fee payment and have been instructed by the system to report for physical document verification at the designated venue/date/time. The verification step is a gatekeeping process—only after this stage will WBMCC publish the list of successfully verified candidates eligible to proceed further in Round 2.

Candidates who miss verification despite being required to attend may face issues in being considered for subsequent steps, including choice filling, depending on WBMCC's eligibility rules and the status shown in the verified list.

WBMCC "Urgent Notice" dated 09 September: Not a verification extension

A key point for candidates and parents is the interpretation of WBMCC's 09 September 2026 "Urgent Notice." While the timing created confusion for some, the notice is not about extending the Round-2 verification deadline.

Instead, it primarily addresses a separate issue: candidates who remained non-allotted up to Round 2 and could not submit the security deposit required for participating in Private Medical/Dental Colleges under State Quota and/or Management Quota.

Security deposit amounts mentioned

As per the urgent notice, the security deposit requirements referenced include:

  • ₹2,00,000 for Private Medical/Dental College State Quota
  • ₹5,00,000 for Management Quota

One-time special measure: Email-based "initialisation" request window

WBMCC has provided a one-time special measure allowing eligible candidates to request "initialisation" by emailing from their registered email ID to:
westbengalcounselingcell@gmail.com

Email window: 16 September 2026 (10:00 AM) to 18 September 2026 (midnight)

If the candidature is initialised, the candidate may get an opportunity to re-register from Round 3 onwards, and will have to pay the registration fee and security deposit afresh, as per the notice.

The same urgent notice also flags an important policy direction: from Round 3 onwards, once a seat is allotted, admission becomes mandatory and seat surrender will not be permitted. This makes preference filling in later rounds significantly higher-stakes.

Verification now, but documents will be checked again at admission

Candidates should also note that completing pre-choice verification does not end document scrutiny. As per WBMCC admission-related instructions issued earlier, candidates allotted a seat must report for admission with original documents for final physical verification at the allotted institute/venue. Candidates are typically required to carry the verified slip and allotment letter, and may need to submit certain originals (as per applicable rules), along with fulfilling any college-level requirements such as fees, bonds, or bank guarantees where applicable.

What candidates should do next

For candidates scheduled for verification, today is critical: complete verification within the stipulated time, keep payment proofs and originals ready, and then track 12 September for (1) the verified list, and (2) the seat matrix—so that choices can be planned and locked carefully when the window opens.
