WB NEET UG Counselling 2025 Suspended, Over 11,000 Students Affected

WB NEET UG Counselling 2025 has been suspended indefinitely by the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC). It has affected over 11,000 medical aspirants whose admissions for MBBS and BDS remain on hold pending a court decision and a rescheduled counselling timeline. 

The counselling is being suspended due to disputes over the OBC reservation issue and the high court’s interventions. Due to this, the round 1 seat allotment scheduled on August 20, 2025, is also cancelled.

WB NEET UG Counselling 2025 Suspended

The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has suspended the WB NEET UG Counselling 2025 until further notice. The counselling is being conducted to offer MBBS and BDS admissions under 85% state quota seats. 

The decision to hold the counselling was made following the declaration of the provisional merit list and it affects over 11000 students who enrolled for admission. The counselling process is suspended until further notice.

WB NEET UG Counselling 2025 Revised Schedule

The WB NEET UG Counselling 2025 Round 1 has been suspended following the OBC reservation disputes in the state’s high court. The counselling will resume after the court’s decision. This suspension affects the admission process for 11,178 students. Candidates who have registered for the WB NEET Counselling 2025 will be entertained for seat allotment once the counselling starts.

The revised schedule for counselling rounds will be released shortly by the conducting authorities. 

Political Concerns

Union Minister of State for Education Sukanta Majumdar sharply criticized the West Bengal government's decision to suspend this counselling. He called it unfair and said it harms medical students' careers. He also suggested the suspension might be a political move to give special reservation benefits to certain groups, putting students' careers at risk.

Student’s Concerns

Thousands of students on the revised merit list are now left uncertain as counselling is paused without any update or timeline. Many had chosen their seats and were ready to attend the colleges by August 21, 2025, but the delay has disrupted their plans. They are waiting for clear information from the official authorities.
