Verified Candidate List and Seat Matrix
The list of successfully verified candidates and the Round 1 seat matrix are scheduled for publication on the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) portal after 2 PM on October 30, 2026.
What candidates should check:
- Whether their name and roll number appear on the verified list
- The number of seats available in each college and programme in the seat matrix
- The participating institutions and their intake for the Round 1 counselling
[VERIFY] — direct links to the verified candidate list and seat matrix will be posted on wbmcc.nic.in. Confirm the official URL when the documents are published.
Choice Filling and Locking
Online choice filling and locking will open at 4 PM on October 30, 2026, and close at midnight on November 1, 2026.
- Eligible candidates should:
- Review the seat matrix carefully before entering choices
- Arrange college and course preferences in order of priority
- Lock their choices before the midnight deadline on November 1
- Save or print the locked choice list for reference
Candidates who fail to submit and lock choices by the deadline may forfeit their participation in Round 1. [VERIFY] — confirm WBMCC's rule on non-submission with the official notification.
Round 1 Allotment Result
The Round 1 allotment result is scheduled for November 4, 2026, after 4 PM. Candidates allotted seats must complete fee payment and reporting formalities within the deadlines specified in the allotment result. [VERIFY] — post-allotment reporting window and fee details will be specified in the official WBMCC notification.
Verification Is Not Allotment
Being included in the verified candidate list is a counselling stage and does not itself establish a seat allotment. Candidates must still participate in choice filling and wait for the Round 1 allotment result. Only candidates who receive an allotment in the result are provisionally eligible for admission, subject to fee payment and reporting.
