WBMCC conducts the state-level counselling for applicable State Quota seats in government institutions and State Quota, Management Quota and NRI Quota seats in private institutions.

WB NEET UG Round 3 Seat Matrix 2026
The Round 3 seat matrix has been published on the WBMCC website. It provides the available seat information for the participating MBBS and BDS institutions and should be checked before candidates finalise their choices. The seat availability can differ according to the institution, course, quota and candidate category. Candidates should therefore not rely only on a general list of vacant seats when preparing their preference order. WBMCC currently provides the Seat Matrix Round-3 download through its official UG Medical and Dental Counselling page.
How to Fill and Lock WB NEET UG Round 3 Choices?
Successfully verified candidates can fill their college and course preferences through the WBMCC candidate login.
- Visit the official WBMCC website.
- Open the UG Medical & Dental Counselling section.
- Select the candidate registration/login option.
- Log in using the credentials required by WBMCC.
- Open the Round 3 choice-filling facility.
- Review the colleges, courses and quotas available to you.
- Add MBBS and/or BDS choices according to your preference.
- Arrange the choices in the required order.
- Save the choices.
- Complete the final choice-locking process before the deadline.
- Keep a copy of the final submitted choices for reference.
WBMCC's choice-filling instructions state that candidates can arrange choices using functions such as moving choices up or down, interchanging choices and deleting individual or multiple choices. The system processes choices from the first preference downward according to the candidate's inter se merit and applicable seat matrix.
Who Can Participate in WB NEET UG Round 3?
Participation depends on the candidate's registration, verification status and the applicable Round 3 rules. WBMCC's counselling bulletin provides for participation by successfully verified candidates who were not allotted seats in earlier rounds, candidates who had not submitted choices in earlier rounds, and certain candidates allotted seats in Round 2 who remained eligible for further participation and gave the required willingness. Candidates should check their individual status on the WBMCC portal rather than assuming that every registered candidate is automatically eligible for Round 3.

Candidates allotted a seat should keep the required original documents and copies ready for the reporting and admission process.
The documents may include:
