WB NEET PG Reservation Policy 2026

Unlike most states, West Bengal splits its OBC reservation into two distinct groups – OBC-A and OBC-B – which apply only to State Quota seats:

Category	Reservation
Unreserved (UR)	37%
Other Backward Classes – A (OBC-A)	10%
Other Backward Classes – B (OBC-B)	7%
Scheduled Caste (SC)	22%
Scheduled Tribe (ST)	6%
Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)	10%
Persons with Disability (PwD)	5% (horizontal)

In-Service Quota Seats

WBMCC reserves a defined share of State Quota PG seats for In-Service candidates – teachers and medical officers already working with WBMES/WBHS/WBPHAS:

• 40% of State Quota degree seats (MD/MS) are reserved for In-Service candidates.
• 50% of State Quota Diploma seats are reserved for In-Service candidates.
• 100% of State-sponsored DNB (post-MBBS) degree and diploma seats are open only to candidates eligible under the In-Service category.

Documents Required

Keep the following documents ready before registration; originals are verified at the time of admission:

• MBBS degree/provisional certificate
• MBBS 1st, 2nd and 3rd year (Final Part-II) mark sheets
• Permanent or provisional Medical Registration Certificate
• Internship Completion Certificate
• Photo ID proof: Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Passport or Driving Licence (self-attested), or a certificate with an attested photo from the head of the institution last attended
• Birth Certificate or Class 10 certificate as proof of date of birth
• NEET PG 2026 Admit Card and Rank Card
• West Bengal domicile certificate (Proforma A1/A2/B), if applicable
• OBC-A or OBC-B caste certificate with valid Non-Creamy Layer/revalidation, if applicable
• EWS Certificate issued by the appropriate West Bengal authority, valid as per the current bulletin

• Copy of Online Counselling Registration Certificate
• Candidate Profile Letter, and any additional NRI/In-Service documents
• Passport-size photographs (8 copies)

WB NEET PG Choice Filling Tips

• Check the seat matrix published for each round separately – seat availability shifts round to round.
• Fill choices strictly in the order you are willing to join; do not leave out a college only because it seems unlikely, since ranks fluctuate between rounds.
• Compare tuition fee, hostel charges, and the applicable bond for each college before locking, especially for private colleges.
• Non-domicile candidates should focus choices on Management Quota seats, since State Quota and In-Service Quota seats require WB domicile.
• If also registered for MCC AIQ counselling, track the MCC round dates closely – an AIQ allotment can affect your participation in the WBMCC state rounds.
• Lock your choices before the deadline; unlocked choices are not considered for allotment.
