WBMCC Opens COVID-2025 UG AYUSH Stray Vacancy Round 3 — Allotment on 8 Dec

The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has released the schedule for the Online Stray Vacancy Round 3 of the UG AYUSH Counselling for the COVID-2025 academic session. This final allotment round, with results slated for December 8, 2025, provides a critical opportunity for NEET UG qualified candidates to secure admission to BAMS, BHMS, and BUMS courses in the state.

The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC), functioning under the Directorate of Medical Education, Government of West Bengal, has commenced the procedures for the Online Stray Vacancy Round 3 of the UG AYUSH Counselling for the 2025-26 academic year. This crucial round is aimed at filling the remaining vacant seats in undergraduate AYUSH courses, including BAMS, BHMS, and BUMS, across Government and Private colleges in West Bengal.

As the counselling process nears its final stages, the committee has urged all NEET UG qualified and previously verified candidates to utilize this last window for choice filling. This move ensures the optimal utilization of available seats and prevents valuable specialist seats from remaining unfilled.

I. Final Timelines for Stray Vacancy Round 3

The schedule for the Online Stray Vacancy Round 3 of the UG AYUSH Counselling is extremely tight, and candidates must strictly adhere to the updated timelines published on the official WBMCC website:

• Online Choice Filling & Locking: The window for verified candidates to submit their choices was active from December 3, 2025, after 6 PM, till midnight of December 4, 2025. (Candidates should note that today, December 4, is the last date).
• Publication of Allotment Result: The seat allotment result for Online Stray Vacancy Round 3 will be published on December 8, 2025, after 4 PM.
• Reporting and Admission: Candidates provisionally allotted a seat must report to their respective allotted Institute for physical document verification and admission on December 9 and December 10, 2025, from 11 AM to 4 PM.

II. Eligibility and Procedure Protocol

The Online Stray Vacancy Round 3 is intended for a select group of aspirants, and candidates must ensure they meet the criteria and follow the specific protocol for this final round:

• Target Candidates: The round is open exclusively to NEET UG 2025 qualified candidates who have successfully completed the previous registration and physical document verification process conducted by WBMCC.
• Verification Status: Only candidates whose names appeared in the "List of Successfully Verified Candidates" for the Online Stray Vacancy Round 3, published on December 3, 2025, are eligible to participate in the choice filling.
• Choice Filling Mandate: Candidates must log in to the official portal, submit their desired choices of colleges/courses, and lock them. Choices that are not explicitly locked by the deadline will be locked automatically by the server.
• Admission Requirement: Allotted candidates must present their requisite original documents, the prescribed college fee, and any mandatory bond at the allotted institute during the reporting window (Dec 9-10).

III. Strategic Importance and Key Details

This Online Stray Vacancy Round 3 is a critical junction for aspirants seeking admission to the State Quota and Private College seats under the UG AYUSH courses in West Bengal.

• Last Opportunity: This is effectively the final opportunity for counselling in the State Quota. Failure to participate or report for admission after allotment in this round will result in the loss of a seat for the current academic session.
• Course Inclusions: The counselling covers admission to Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS), and Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS) courses.
• Admission Validity: Admission is valid only if the final admission/cancellation letter is generated through the NIC server by the college authority during the prescribed reporting timeline. Candidates must ensure this server-based confirmation is processed.

Aspirants are strongly advised to immediately finalize their choices on the official website, wbmcc.nic.in, as the choice locking deadline is today, December 4, 2025. Missing this deadline will prevent participation in the final allotment process, thereby delaying the start of their specialist medical education.
