WBMCC Announces Final Revised Schedule for West Bengal NEET UG Counselling: Crucial Dates for Round 3
The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has released a revised, comprehensive schedule for the NEET UG 2025 Round 3 and the final Online Stray Round, with the choice filling period for Round 3 scheduled from October 15 to October 17, 2025.
The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has published the final revised schedule for the State NEET UG 2025 Round 3 Counselling, a critical announcement for medical aspirants seeking admission to MBBS seats within the state. This comprehensive schedule covers all subsequent stages, including the Round 3 allotments and the final Online Stray Round, encompassing seats under the State Quota, Private Management Quota, and the NRI Quota.
The revised timeline reflects the need to synchronize state-level admissions with the central schedule set by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) to conclude the academic session for 2025. Candidates must treat these dates as final to avoid missing their last opportunities for admission.
Immediate Deadlines for Round 3
Aspirants need to immediately address the final, extended deadlines for the third round's preliminary stages:
| Event in Counselling | Final Deadline/Window |
|---|---|
| Online Registration & Fee Payment | Until 6 PM / 12 Midnight of October 11, 2025 (Today) |
| Candidate Verification (at designated colleges) | October 13 & 14, 2025 (11 AM to 4 PM) |
| Online Seat Surrender | October 13 & 14, 2025 (10 AM to 3 PM) |
The final days for registration, fee payment, and physical verification are now in effect. Following these steps, the verified list of eligible candidates and the final seat matrix for Round 3 will be published on October 15, 2025, after 12 noon.
Choice Filling and Admission in Round 3
The most significant event for candidates who successfully complete the verification stage is the Choice Filling and Locking window, which will be relatively brief:
- Choice Filling and Locking: From 4 PM of October 15 till 10 AM of October 17, 2025.
- Result Publication: The final Round 3 allotment result will be published on October 22, 2025, after 2 PM.
- Reporting and Admission: Successful candidates must report to their allotted institutes on October 24, 25, and 27, 2025.
It is crucial for aspirants to note the admission process for private colleges. For all Private Medical Colleges, the admission process will be conducted at different designated Government Medical Colleges in Kolkata, while Private Dental College admissions will be held at Dr. R Ahmed Dental College. Candidates moving from an upgraded seat must ensure they obtain the server-generated reliving letter from their previously allotted college before proceeding to the new admission.
Online Stray Round: The Last Opportunity
To fill any remaining seats after Round 3, the WBMCC will conduct an Online Stray Round with the following schedule:
| Event in Counselling | Date & Time |
|---|---|
| Registration/Fee Payment | October 29 to 30, 2025 |
| Verification | October 30 & 31, 2025 |
| Choice Filling and Locking | October 31 to November 2, 2025 (Midnight) |
| Result Publication | November 4, 2025 |
| Reporting and Admission | November 5, 6, & 7, 2025 |
The WBMCC has urged all medical aspirants to adhere strictly to this revised tentative schedule, as the admission cycle must conclude by the end of November 2025. This final phase represents the last chance to secure a seat in the MBBS and BDS programmes for the current academic year.
