WB NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 3 Dates

These dates are from the latest WBMCC schedule published on September 17, 2026. Candidates should continue checking the official counselling portal for any subsequent changes because the schedule is described as tentative.

When Will WB NEET Round 3 Registration Start?

WB NEET UG Round 3 registration will start on September 28, 2026, at 11 AM. Candidates will have until September 30 at 6 PM to complete online registration. The fee-payment window will remain open until midnight on September 30. Candidates should complete registration and payment within the specified window. Registration alone is not enough if the prescribed fee payment or subsequent verification is incomplete.

WB NEET Round 3 Verification Dates

After successful registration and fee payment, candidates will have to complete verification at the designated college and allotted time slot. The verification window is scheduled from September 29 to October 1, between 11 AM and 4 PM. Candidates should carry the required original documents and follow the verification instructions issued by WBMCC. The verified candidate list and Round 3 seat matrix are scheduled to be published on October 1 after 5 PM.

WB NEET Round 3 Choice Filling and Locking

The Round 3 choice-filling window will open on October 1 and continue until October 4, 2026. Candidates should review the available seat matrix before arranging their MBBS and BDS preferences. Choice filling becomes particularly important in Round 3 because the available seats can change after the previous round's reporting and admission process. Candidates should consider their rank, category, quota, preferred course and college before locking their final preferences.

When Will WB NEET Round 3 Result 2026 Be Released?

The WB NEET UG Round 3 seat allotment result 2026 is scheduled for October 8 after 4 PM. Candidates who receive an allotment will then have to complete reporting and admission at the allotted institute between October 12 and October 14, from 10 AM to 4 PM. After the result is published, candidates should carefully check the allotted college, course, category and other admission details. Those allotted a seat should not wait until the final reporting day to complete the admission formalities.

Who Should Participate in WB NEET Round 3?

Round 3 is relevant for candidates who are eligible under the WBMCC counselling rules and are looking for an MBBS or BDS seat through the West Bengal state counselling process. Candidates who did not secure a suitable seat in earlier rounds can use Round 3 to participate according to the applicable rules. Candidates already holding seats should also carefully check the WBMCC rules governing participation, seat surrender and eligibility before making changes to their counselling choices.

The WBMCC counselling process covers 85% State Quota seats in government medical and dental colleges, along with applicable State, Management and NRI quota seats in private medical and dental colleges.

How to Prepare for WB NEET Round 3 Choice Filling

A practical approach is:

1. Check the Round 3 verified candidate list and seat matrix after October 1.
2. Shortlist colleges where your rank and category make the choice realistic.
3. Arrange choices according to your actual preference.
4. Check course, quota and college details carefully.
5. Review the complete list before locking.
6. Save a copy or screenshot of the final locked choices for reference.

Students who want a second opinion can also use OGcollege Talk to Seniors to speak with verified medical seniors about academics, hostel life, clinical exposure, patient load and day-to-day college experience. This can be useful when two or more colleges look similar on paper.

What Happens After WB NEET Round 3?

Candidates allotted seats in Round 3 will have to report to their respective institutes between October 12 and October 14. Admission formalities, document verification and applicable fee payment must be completed within the institute's prescribed process.

Candidates who do not receive their preferred seat should continue monitoring WBMCC notices because the counselling process also includes an online stray vacancy stage. As per the currently published schedule, stray-round registration is scheduled for October 15–16, followed by verification, choice filling and allotment later in October.
