West Bengal NEET PG Counselling 2026: WBMCC Process, Quota Rules and Seat Allotment Guide

If you have cleared NEET PG and want a seat in West Bengal, the state counselling is a separate process from the national one run by MCC. The state process has its own registration, merit lists, quota rules and choice filling, and it runs on its own schedule.

Most students first land on this process by searching “wb mcc” or “wbmcc”, which is simply the short name for the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee. This guide explains what WBMCC does for PG medical admissions, who can take part and how the rounds work. We also tell you what to keep ready so you don’t lose a seat over paperwork.

Understanding WBMCC and How West Bengal PG Counselling Works

What is WBMCC?

WBMCC is the state body that runs online counselling for medical, dental and AYUSH courses in West Bengal. It is formed by the Department of Health and Family Welfare and chaired by the Director of Medical Education. When people search “wbmcc nic in”, they are looking for its official website, wbmcc.nic.in, which is the only place registration and results are published.

Which Courses and Seats Does It Cover?

For PG medical, WBMCC counsels for MD/MS degrees and PG Diplomas in government and private medical colleges. It also counsels for state-sponsored DNB seats (3-year post-MBBS degree and 2-year diploma) in government hospitals. PG dental (MDS) and PG AYUSH have their own counselling pages on the same portal.

West Bengal PG Quota Structure

State Quota and Merit Lists

Seats are allotted on inter se merit lists for these categories: Unreserved (UR), EWS, OBC, SC, ST and PwD. Merit is calculated among the Open, In-Service and Other Service candidate groups.

Service Quota in NEET PG in West Bengal

This is the part many candidates miss. Of the state quota degree seats, 40% are reserved for in-service teachers and medical officers of the department (WBMES, WBHS, WBPHAS). For diploma seats the share is 50%. State DNB seats are reserved entirely for in-service candidates. If you are not in government service, your real competition is for the remaining open-category seats.

Who Can Apply: Eligibility for WB NEET PG Counselling

The basic conditions are:

• A qualifying NEET PG 2026 result from NBE

• An MBBS degree with the required internship completion and valid registration

• Meeting the eligibility criteria set out in the WBMCC information bulletin
