WB NEET PG Counselling 2026 Admission Rules Released

The Directorate of Medical Education, Government of West Bengal, has issued a notice on the admission process for WB PG Medical Counselling 2026. The notice (Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/3851) is dated November 2, 2026. It lists the documents to carry, bond and fee rules, upgradation rules, and the venues where private medical college candidates must report.

How to Get the Allotment Letter

After the provisional allotment result is published, successful candidates can generate their allotment letter by logging in on the counselling website. The letter stays available until the admission schedule of that round closes. Round-wise dates are in the counselling schedule dated October 14, 2026 (Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/3791).

Documents to Carry for Admission

Allotted candidates must report to the allotted college within the admission schedule, with original documents and one set of self-attested photocopies, as listed in the Notice cum Information Bulletin dated October 14, 2026 (Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/3790). They must also bring:

• The successfully verified slip and the allotment letter (one original set and one self-attested photocopy set)
• Four copies of a recent passport-size photograph
• An undertaking that they are not currently admitted anywhere through AIQ or state quota counselling held in 2026 or earlier

Documents the College Will Keep

The college must keep these original documents and give the candidate a receipt:

• NEET PG 2026 admit card and rank card
• Original final MBBS marksheet
• MBBS degree or provisional degree certificate
• Permanent Registration certificate
• PwD verified certificate from NRS Medical College, Kolkata, or any MCC-designated centre, if applicable
• Proof of previous degree or diploma, if any
• Successfully verified slip

The caste certificate and ID cards need not be kept by the college.

Bond Rules

Type of College	Bond Requirement
Government colleges in West Bengal, degree seats	Rs 5 lakh discontinuation bond
Government colleges in West Bengal, diploma seats	Rs 2 lakh discontinuation bond
Private, trust and central institutes	Bond or bank guarantee as the college requires, with preference to the candidate’s choice

The bond for government colleges must be notarised, on non-judicial stamp paper with demy paper of not less than Rs 100.

Fee and Upgradation Rules

• Candidates who do not want upgradation in Round 2 or Round 3 must pay the required admission fee to the college.
• Candidates who opt for upgradation may defer the bond or bank guarantee for the present round. They must still pay the required course fee at the college by the Round 3 admission process.
• The option of willingness to participate in Round 2 and Round 3 is available to all candidates allotted in Round 1. It must be submitted online at the allotted college, and candidates should check their willingness status in the admission letter.
• Candidates who do not give willingness cannot fill choices in the next round and keep their Round 1 seat.
• Candidates who give willingness and fill choices but get no fresh allotment also keep their earlier seat.
• If a candidate gets a new allotment after upgradation, the earlier seat is automatically cancelled. The candidate must take back the fee, original documents and the server-generated relieving letter from the previous college, then join the new college within the schedule.

Candidates Who Miss Round 1

• Candidates who do not report in Round 1 become “not reported” candidates. They can still fill choices afresh in Round 2.
• Candidates who were not allotted any seat in Round 1 can also fill choices afresh in Round 2.
• Candidates who surrender their seat after admission are out of the counselling process.

Final Physical Verification

Even after successful document verification at the choice-filling stage, there will be another round of final physical document verification at the allotted college during admission.

Category and PwD Certificate Rules

• SC, ST, OBC or EWS candidate allotted an unreserved seat (having secured the unreserved cutoff): If the caste certificate is not produced, admission is granted but the candidature is changed to unreserved in the software. The candidate can then apply for upgradation as unreserved.
• SC, ST, OBC or EWS candidate allotted a reserved seat who cannot produce a valid certificate: The candidature is changed to unreserved and the seat is cancelled for that round. The candidate can take part in the next round as unreserved only if the unreserved cutoff was obtained. Otherwise, the candidate is out of counselling.
• PwD candidates are treated the same way, with the candidature changed to non-PwD status if a valid PwD certificate is not produced.

Admission Through NIC Server Only

All admissions must be completed on the NIC (National Informatics Centre) server within the admission schedule. Candidates must collect one copy of the server-generated admission or cancellation letter. Otherwise, the admission will not be considered and the seat will go to the next round as vacant.

Seat Surrender

Candidates not satisfied with their seat must personally appear before the college authority and surrender it as per the seat surrender schedule. This is allowed only up to Round 2. The college must generate the surrender slip through the NIC server. Otherwise, the surrender is not valid and the seat will not show as vacant in the next round.
