The postgraduate medical admission landscape in Maharashtra and West Bengal has transitioned into the critical post-reporting phase. With Round 2 reporting deadlines having just passed, the focus now shifts to seat stabilization and the identification of vacant slots for subsequent rounds. For aspirants, this period is a "waiting window" where administrative verification meets strategic planning for the Mop-Up rounds.
Maharashtra PG Medical Admission: Status and Next Steps
The State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell, Maharashtra, recently concluded the reporting window for Round 2. Candidates who successfully joined their allotted institutes are now officially part of the state’s medical registry.
- Status Retention: Candidates satisfied with their Round 2 allotment had until the reporting deadline to submit status retention forms.
- Vacancy Mapping: The CET Cell is currently compiling data on non-reported seats, which will form the basis of the Round 3/Mop-Up seat matrix.
- Document Custody: Institutes have now secured original documents of admitted candidates; students seeking further upgrades must monitor the "Relieving Letter" protocols if a better seat is secured later.
West Bengal NEET PG: Transitioning to Round 3
In West Bengal, the WBMCC (West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee) is mirroring this progression. Following the Round 2 allotment, the state is preparing for the final legs of the 2025-26 admission cycle.
- Admission Confirmation: Only candidates who completed physical reporting and paid the requisite fees at designated centers are currently considered "Admitted."
- Choice Filling for Round 3: With Round 2 reporting closing, the window for fresh registrations or choice modifications for Round 3 is expected to open shortly.
- Management Quota Tracking: Aspirants eyeing private medical colleges should track the specific "residual" seat lists often released after the main reporting phase.

Conclusion and Aspirant Advisory
The conclusion of the reporting phase marks the end of the "Provisional" status for many. However, for those still in the fray, this is the time to verify if their admission has been uploaded to the official state portals. Any discrepancy between physical reporting and online status must be addressed immediately with the college authorities. Aspirants are strongly advised to monitor the official CET Cell and WBMCC portals daily for the release of the "Revised Seat Matrix" to calibrate their strategies for the Mop-Up and Stray Vacancy rounds.
