The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has released the NEET UG 2026 Round 3 seat matrix and provisional list of candidates for the state counselling process. Candidates participating in West Bengal NEET UG Round 3 counselling can check the available MBBS and BDS seats and the list of candidates eligible to proceed with the next stage on the official website, wbmcc.nic.in.
The Round 3 seat matrix gives candidates information about the seats available for allotment across participating medical and dental colleges. The provisional candidate list is relevant for candidates who have completed the required registration and verification process for this round.
With the seat matrix now available, the West Bengal NEET UG Round 3 choice filling and locking process is underway. Candidates must complete their preferences within the prescribed deadline to participate in the Round 3 seat allotment process.
WBMCC has published the key documents required for candidates to proceed with Round 3 counselling.
These include the Round 3 provisional list of candidates and Round 3 seat matrix. The official WBMCC counselling page currently lists the Round 3 provisional candidate list and the new Round 3 seat matrix under its UG Medical and Dental Counselling section.
The seat matrix is particularly important because candidates can use it to check the availability of seats before submitting or revising their college and course preferences.
The Round 3 counselling process covers MBBS and BDS admissions through the West Bengal state counselling process. WBMCC conducts the counselling for eligible NEET UG candidates for applicable government and private medical and dental seats under the state counselling framework.
Candidates eligible for West Bengal NEET UG Round 3 counselling can fill and lock their choices from October 1 to October 4, 2026.
The choice filling and locking window will close at 10 AM on October 4, 2026. Candidates should therefore complete their preferred MBBS and BDS college choices before the deadline.
The choice filling stage is important because the preferences submitted by candidates are considered during the seat allotment process, subject to the applicable counselling rules, merit and availability of seats.
Candidates should check the Round 3 seat matrix before finalising their preferences so that they can identify the courses and colleges with seats available in this round.
The West Bengal NEET UG Round 3 seat allotment result 2026 is scheduled to be released on October 8, 2026, after 4 PM.
The allotment will follow the completion of the Round 3 choice filling and locking process. Candidates who receive a seat allotment will then have to follow the reporting and admission instructions issued by WBMCC.
Candidates should regularly check the official WBMCC website for the allotment result and subsequent admission instructions.
Candidates allotted seats in Round 3 will have to complete reporting and admission formalities between October 12 and October 14, 2026.
The reporting window is scheduled from 10 AM to 4 PM during the specified dates. Candidates should check their allotment details and follow the instructions issued by the allotted institution and WBMCC.
Missing the prescribed reporting or admission requirements can affect the candidate's participation in the subsequent admission process. Candidates should therefore carefully read the instructions accompanying their allotment result.

The West Bengal NEET seat matrix 2026 provides information about seats available for allotment in the participating colleges for the respective counselling round.
For Round 3, candidates can use the matrix while preparing their college and course preferences. The availability shown in the matrix can help candidates understand which MBBS and BDS options are included in the current round before they lock their choices.
Candidates should not confuse the seat matrix with the seat allotment result. The seat matrix shows available seats, while the allotment result shows the seat assigned to an individual candidate after the choice filling and allotment process.
Candidates who are eligible for Round 3 should first check their status in the provisional candidate list and then review the available seats in the Round 3 matrix.
After checking the available MBBS and BDS options, candidates should submit their preferred choices through the WBMCC counselling portal and complete the locking process before 10 AM on October 4.
Candidates should also keep track of the October 8 Round 3 seat allotment result and the subsequent reporting period from October 12 to 14.
The West Bengal NEET UG 2026 counselling process is scheduled to proceed to the stray vacancy round after Round 3.
According to the published schedule, registration and fee payment for the stray round are scheduled for October 15 and 16, 2026. Candidate verification is scheduled for October 16 and 17, followed by publication of the verified candidate list and stray round seat matrix on October 17.
The stray round choice filling and locking window is scheduled for October 17 and 18, while the stray round allotment result is scheduled for October 23, 2026.
