The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has unveiled a revised timetable for the third round and the Online Stray Vacancy Round of NEET UG Counselling 2026. As per the official schedule dated October 12, 2026, candidates who have been allotted seats in Round 3 are required to complete their reporting and admission formalities by October 15, 2026.

The reporting window will remain open from 10 am to 4 pm. Candidates should report to their allotted institute with the latest allotment letter, original documents and the prescribed admission fee.

Revised Round 3 Allotment Result

WBMCC has also published a revised provisional allotment result after removing candidates who had already joined seats through the All India Quota (AIQ). This revision was carried out in accordance with the Medical Counselling Committee’s notice dated October 10.

Following the revision, one seat at Midnapore Medical College became vacant and was included in the existing seat matrix. Fresh choice filling was not conducted for this seat as it had already been listed as a virtual vacancy.

Candidates whose allotment has changed must download the revised provisional allotment letter from their login dashboard. Candidates who have been upgraded to a different college may additionally be required to furnish a server-generated relieving letter from their previous institute.

Online Stray Vacancy Round: Important Dates

The Online Stray Vacancy Round will commence immediately after the conclusion of Round 3 reporting. Candidates should carefully note that registration and fee payment have different deadlines.

  • Online registration: October 16, 11 am to 8 pm
  • Online fee payment: October 16, 11 am to midnight

Candidates are advised not to wait until the final hour, as incomplete registration, unsuccessful payment or unlocked choices could jeopardise their participation.

Documents Candidates Should Keep Ready

Applicants should carry documents relevant to their category and quota. The indicative checklist includes:

  • NEET UG 2026 admit card and rank card
  • Candidate Profile Letter and fee-payment receipt
  • Class 10 certificate and Class 12 marksheet
  • Valid photo identity proof
  • Domicile certificate, wherever applicable
  • SC, ST, OBC, EWS or PwD certificate, if relevant
  • Medical fitness certificate in the stipulated format
  • Allotment letter and other college-specific documents

Requirements may differ for State Quota, Management Quota and NRI seats. Candidates must therefore consult their profile letter and the latest WBMCC instructions.

Key Advisory for Candidates

Those who have already joined an AIQ seat should not presume eligibility for the State Stray Vacancy Round. MCC has directed state counselling authorities to exclude candidates admitted through AIQ up to Round 3 to prevent simultaneous allotments.

Applicants should rely only on the latest notices published at wbmcc.nic.in and regularly check their candidate login. With tightly spaced deadlines, timely action and meticulous document preparation will be crucial for securing admission.
