The WB NEET PG Counselling 2025 is set to begin soon.

Key Highlights Table

Overview 

If you've qualified for NEET PG 2025 and want to pursue your postgraduate studies in West Bengal, the counselling process is handled by the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC). They manage admissions for MD, MS, PG Diploma, and DNB courses across government and private medical colleges in the state.

WBMCC conducts NEET PG counselling for:

• State quota seats in government medical colleges
• State quota, management quota, and NRI quota seats in private colleges
• DNB courses in government hospitals (both 3-year degree and 2-year diploma programs)

The whole process happens online. Your seat allocation depends on your NEET PG rank, category, and the college preferences you choose during counselling.

Eligibility Criteria 

Before you start your registration, make sure you meet these basic requirements for WB NEET PG counselling:

1. NEET PG Score- You need to have qualified in NEET PG 2025. The exam is conducted by NBE (National Board of Examinations), and you must meet the minimum percentile for your category.

Here is a table detailing the NEET PG 2025 minimum eligibility criteria and cutoff scores for your convenience:

2. West Bengal Domicile- State quota seats are for West Bengal domicile candidates. You'll need domicile certificates and other proof to show you're from West Bengal.

• West Bengal Domicile Requirement:
  • Candidates or parents must be domiciled in West Bengal.
  • Domicile certificate is mandatory for State Quota eligibility.
  • Non-domicile candidates are eligible only for the Management Quota.

3. MBBS/BDS Degree-  Your MBBS or BDS degree should be from a recognized medical college. Make sure your college is approved by NMC (National Medical Commission).

4. Internship- You must complete your compulsory rotatory internship by the deadline mentioned in the official notification. Keep your internship completion certificate ready.

5. Category Documents- You can apply under different reservation categories. Make sure you have the right certificates if you're applying under:

• EWS (Economically Weaker Section)
• OBC-A or OBC-B
• SC (Scheduled Caste)
• ST (Scheduled Tribe)
• PwD (Person with Disability)

Special Categories You Should Know About:

If you're a medical officer or teacher working under WBMES, WBHS, or WBPHAS, you can apply for in-service quota seats. This quota has separate seat reservations and gives preference to doctors already serving in government hospitals.

For DNB courses specifically, only in-service category candidates are eligible for state-sponsored seats.

Let’s now take a look at the process of registering online. 

Registration Process

Registration for WB NEET PG 2025 counselling will happen completely online on the WBMCC website.

Right now, WBMCC hasn't released the exact dates and detailed steps for 2025 counselling. But based on how it usually works, here's what you can expect:

Step 1: Go to wbmcc.nic.in and find the NEET PG 2025 counselling registration link

Step 2: Register with your NEET PG roll number and basic details

Step 3: Fill in your personal, academic, and category information

Step 4: Upload all required documents (we'll cover this in detail below)

Step 5: Pay the application fee online

Step 6: Submit your form and save the receipt

Once the official notification comes out, we'll update this section with exact dates and any changes to the process. Keep checking the WBMCC website regularly so you don't miss any important announcements.

Counselling Process

The WB NEET PG counselling process can feel overwhelming, especially if you're going through it for the first time. Understanding what happens at each stage helps you stay prepared and make informed decisions that can impact your entire medical career.

Counselling typically happens in multiple rounds - usually two main rounds followed by a mop-up round if seats remain vacant.

During each round, you'll need to:

1. Fill in your college preferences
2. Course preferences based on your rank and the available seat matrix.

The system then allocates seats based on merit, your choices, and reservation category.

The most critical aspects of counselling are as follows:

1. Choice filling - Many candidates make the mistake of filling out too few choices or not researching colleges properly before locking in their preferences.
2. Document verification is another crucial step that candidates often underestimate. Missing or incorrect documents can lead to disqualification, even if you've secured a good rank.
3. The reporting process after seat allotment is time-sensitive. Once you're allocated a seat, you typically have only a few days to report to the college with original documents and pay the required fees.

Missing this deadline means losing your seat, which will then be filled by the next candidate in line. You can plan your travel and documentation in advance to avoid last-minute complications.

Understanding these nuances of the counselling process is just as important as your NEET PG rank. Being well-prepared can help you navigate the system smoothly and secure the best possible outcome for your postgraduate medical education.

Documents Needed

While WBMCC will release the official document list later, start gathering these certificates now. You'll definitely need most of them:

1. NEET PG 2025 admit card and scorecard
2. Class 10 and 12 marksheets and certificates
3. MBBS/BDS degree certificate
4. All semester marksheets from your MBBS/BDS course
5. Internship completion certificate
6. Provisional or permanent registration certificate from your state medical council
7. NMC (National Medical Commission) registration certificate
8. West Bengal domicile certificate
9. Caste certificate (if applying under SC/ST/OBC)
10. EWS certificate (if applicable, and it should be valid for the current financial year)
11. PwD certificate (if applicable)
12. Transfer certificate and migration certificate
13. Recent passport-size photographs
14. Photo ID Proof- Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Passport, etc.

For In-Service Candidates: If you're applying under the in-service category, you'll also need:

• Service certificate from your current employer
• No objection certificate (NOC) from the department
• Proof of continuous service in WBMES/WBHS/WBPHAS

Keep both original documents and multiple photocopies ready. You'll need originals for verification and copies for submission.

Some Pro-Tips:

• Make sure the internship certificate has the proper seal/signature
• Make sure the EWS certificate is for the current financial year
• Make sure all documents have a signature wherever necessary

Reservation Policies 

West Bengal allocates PG medical seats through online state-level counselling. But there's something important you need to know about how these seats are distributed.

In-Service Quota Breakdown:

A big portion of state quota seats is reserved for doctors and teachers already working in government service under WBMES (West Bengal Medical Education Service), WBHS (West Bengal Health Service), or WBPHAS (West Bengal Public Health and Administrative Service).

Here's the exact breakdown:

For MD/MS Degree Courses:

• 40% of all state quota seats are reserved for in-service candidates
• The remaining 60% are for open merit candidates

For PG Diploma Courses:

• 50% of all state quota seats go to in-service candidates
• The other 50% are for open merit candidates

For DNB Courses:

• 100% of all DNB seats (both degree and diploma) are reserved exclusively for in-service candidates
• This means if you're not already working in government service, you cannot get a state-sponsored DNB seat in West Bengal

What This Means for You:

If you're a fresh MBBS graduate (not in government service), you're competing for:

• 60% of MD/MS seats
• 50% of diploma seats
• 0% of DNB seats

If you're working as a medical officer or teacher in WBMES/WBHS/WBPHAS, you have access to reserved quotas across all courses, which significantly improves your chances of getting a seat.

Seat Matrix

West Bengal has seats across government medical colleges, private medical colleges, and DNB seats in various government hospitals.

The total number of seats and their distribution between government and private colleges will be announced by WBMCC closer to the counselling dates.

Remember that a large portion of DNB seats and some MD/MS and diploma seats are reserved for in-service doctors, so open category candidates will be competing for the remaining seats.

We'll add the complete WB NEET PG Seat Matrix here once it's officially released.

Application Fees

WBMCC will announce the fee structure for 2025 counselling soon. Usually, the fees are different for different categories. General category candidates pay more, while SC/ST and PwD candidates pay a lesser amount.

We'll update the exact amounts here as soon as WBMCC releases the official information. For now, keep some funds ready for the application fee so you can complete your registration quickly once it opens.
