PG medical admissions in Maharashtra and West Bengal move into post-reporting and seat-reconciliation stage

As the medical admission cycle for 2025-26 nears its peak, Maharashtra and West Bengal have officially entered the critical post-reporting phase for Round 2. Candidates must complete physical joining and document verification by December 30, 2025. Failure to report at allotted institutes will lead to seat forfeiture. Stay updated on stray vacancy rounds and official deadlines to secure your residency seat today.

The medical education departments of Maharashtra and West Bengal have reached a pivotal juncture in the NEET PG 2025 admission cycle. With the Round 2 selection lists published, the focus has now shifted to the physical reporting and admission confirmation phase. For aspirants, this period is the final opportunity to secure a seat before the transition to the Mop-Up or Stray Vacancy rounds.

• In Maharashtra, the State CET Cell has mandated reporting between December 27 and December 30, 2025.
• West Bengal (WBMCC) candidates are required to complete their admission formalities within a similar window, ending December 30.
• Candidates must present themselves physically at the allotted medical colleges for verification.
• Reporting after the 5:30 PM deadline on the final day will not be entertained by the authorities.

Mandatory Admission Timeline and Seat Matrix

Understanding the timeline is essential for aspirants to avoid last-minute disqualifications. Below is a structured comparison of the key dates for both states during this phase:

• The seat matrix for Round 2 included over 2,600 vacant MD/MS seats in Maharashtra alone.
• Aspirants who choose to "Freeze" their seat must submit a Status Retention Form at the college.
• Those seeking an upgrade in Round 3 must opt for "Float" but still complete the initial reporting.

Critical Documentation and Post-Reporting Compliance

Securing an admission is not merely about reaching the college; it involves a meticulous verification of credentials. The "Post-Reporting" phase involves the submission of original documents and the payment of requisite fees through Demand Drafts.

• Original NEET PG 2025 Admit Cards and Scorecards are mandatory for all candidates.
• State-specific requirements include the Domicile Certificate and MMC/SMC Registration.
• Fee payments for Government colleges typically involve a security deposit of 25,000, while Private colleges require 1,00,000.
• Ensure you collect a signed "Acknowledgment Receipt" from the college nodal officer after document submission.

Conclusion

As the December 30 deadline approaches, the window for Round 2 admissions is rapidly closing. This phase serves as the bridge between regular counselling and the highly competitive stray vacancy rounds. Any oversight in documentation or timing during these four days could result in the loss of a hard-earned seat. Aspirants must now prioritize reaching their respective institutes with all original folders and Demand Drafts ready for final processing. To ensure your seat is locked, aspirants should immediately monitor the official CET Cell and WBMCC portals for any sudden extension notices or college-specific instructions.
