Introduction
The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has released the Round 2 counselling schedule for NEET UG 2026, covering MBBS and BDS admissions under the 85% State Quota in Government Medical and Dental Colleges, along with State Quota, Management Quota, and NRI Quota (Medical only) seats in Private Medical and Dental Colleges.
If you're planning to take part in Round 2, whether as a fresh candidate or someone hoping to improve on your Round 1 outcome, here's what's confirmed so far, along with what to expect next.
A quick note on this source: the official Round 2 schedule document is published as a scanned image, so the detailed stage-by-stage breakdown isn't machine-readable at the time of writing. What follows is built from the confirmed registration window and WBMCC's general counselling process; we'd recommend checking the official PDF directly on wbmcc.nic.in for the full stage-by-stage dates once you're ready to act on a specific step.
What Has Been Released?
The official West Bengal NEET UG 2026 Round 2 counselling schedule has been released for MBBS and BDS admissions. The immediate activity candidates need to remember is Round 2 online registration.
There is a three-day registration window:
| Counselling Activity | Date & Time |
|---|---|
| Round 2 Online Registration Starts | 07 September 2026, 1:00 PM |
| Round 2 Online Registration Ends | 09 September 2026, 6:00 PM |
Who Should Take Note of This Update?
This update is important for candidates who want to participate in West Bengal NEET UG 2026 Round 2 counselling for:
- MBBS
- BDS
If you are planning to participate in Round 2, don't wait for the last day to understand the process. First, check the official schedule and note down all the activities and deadlines applicable to you.
Why Should You Avoid Waiting Until the Deadline?
Counselling portals can receive a large number of applications close to the deadline.
If you leave registration until the final few hours, you may run into problems such as:
- Website traffic
- Slow loading
- Payment or submission issues, where applicable
- Incomplete application details
- Difficulty uploading required information
- Not having enough time to correct an error
So, even though the deadline is 09 September at 6:00 PM, don't treat 5:59 PM as your target. Complete the process early and keep your confirmation details safe.
How Should Candidates Prepare for Round 2?
Before the registration window opens, candidates can start getting their counselling-related information ready.
Step 1: Read the Official Schedule
Go through the complete Round 2 schedule
Step 2: Note Down the Deadlines
Write down each activity and its closing date/time. This becomes especially important during counselling because several activities can happen within a short period.
Step 3: Complete Registration
Once the portal opens, complete the Round 2 registration according to the official instructions.
Step 4: Review Before Submission
Before submitting anything, check the information you have entered carefully.
Step 5: Follow Further Activities
After registration, continue checking the official schedule and counselling portal for the remaining Round 2 activities.
Don't Confuse Round 2 Registration With the Entire Counselling Process
Registration is only one part of the counselling process. Candidates should not assume that completing the registration means there is nothing else to do.
The official Round 2 schedule contains further counselling activities, so after completing registration, continue checking the schedule and follow each applicable step within its deadline.
A good approach is:
Register → Save Confirmation → Check Next Activity → Complete It Before Deadline
FAQs
When does Round 2 registration start and end?
Registration runs from 7 September 2026, 1:00 PM, to 9 September 2026, 6:00 PM.
Do I need to register again if I already registered in Round 1?
This depends on WBMCC's specific instructions for Round 2, which should be detailed in the official schedule. Check the portal directly to confirm whether re-registration is required or if you simply need to confirm continued participation.
Can I change my reservation category during Round 2 registration?
No. Your SC/ST/EWS/PwD/OBC status is carried forward from your original NEET UG 2026 application with NTA and generally cannot be altered at the WBMCC stage.
Is West Bengal domicile required for all seats?
No. Domicile is required for the 85% State Quota seats in Government colleges. It's not required for Management Quota seats in Private Medical and Dental Colleges, which remain open to non-domicile candidates.
How many rounds does WBMCC counselling have in total?
Typically three to five rounds, commonly Round 1, Round 2, a Mop-Up Round, and a Stray Vacancy Round, though the exact number has varied slightly in past years.
What's the registration fee for Round 2?
₹2,000 for Unreserved candidates and ₹1,500 for SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD candidates, non-refundable.
Conclusion
Round 2 registration is now open, running from 7 to 9 September 2026. While the full stage-by-stage schedule beyond registration isn't fully confirmed from the source document at the time of writing, the broader WBMCC process, merit list, choice filling, allotment, and reporting should follow a similar pattern to Round 1. Keep checking wbmcc.nic.in for the confirmed dates on each subsequent stage.
In the meantime, get your documents in order, especially your West Bengal domicile certificate and Medical Fitness Certificate, since these are specific requirements that can't be substituted with generic paperwork.
If you're unsure whether you need to re-register for Round 2, confused about your eligibility for a particular quota, or want help planning your next steps in West Bengal counselling, reaching out to a trusted NEET counselling expert can help you stay on track.
