WBMCC uploads Round 2 seat matrix for West Bengal NEET UG counselling

The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee has uploaded the Round 2 seat matrix for West Bengal UG Medical and Dental Counselling 2026. The nine-page PDF, printed on 12 September 2026 at 16:21, is the vacancy map for Round 2 choice filling across State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota rows. It is not the provisional verified candidates list and not the formal academic-session start directive.

This desk treats the file as the Round 2 seat matrix only. It is not the Provisional List of Candidates Eligible for Choice Filling in Round-2 published the same day, and it is not the memo that sets formal UG medical and dental session start from 15 September. Destack those three WBMCC artefacts, and keep this matrix distinct from any Round-3 deposit-reset story.

What the Round 2 seat matrix PDF dated 12 September contains

The header identifies West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee, West Bengal UG Medical and Dental Counselling 2026, Round No. 2, Seat Matrix. Columns include serial number, institute name, institute type, programme, stream, quota and category-wise seats for UR, UR PwD, EWS, EWS PwD, OBC, OBC PwD, SC, SC PwD, ST and ST PwD, ending in total seats for that institute-quota row.

The sheet carries 68 institute-quota rows. Adding the printed total-seat figures across those rows yields 1,209 seats on this Round 2 matrix. Programme labels are MBBS and BDS under the UG Medical stream. Quota labels include State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota. Institute types include Central Government, State and Private University or Institute entries.

Early private and central rows name ESI-PGIMSR and ESIC Medical College, Joka, Kolkata; Gouri Devi Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital; Guru Nanak Institute of Dental Sciences and Research; Haldia Institute of Dental Sciences and Research; IQ City Medical College; ICARE Institute of Medical Science and Research and Dr B C Roy Hospital, Haldia; Jagannath Gupta Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital; KPC Medical College and Hospital, Jadavpur; Kusum Devi Sunderlal Dugar Jain Dental College and Hospital; Santiniketan Medical College; and Shri Ramkrishna Institute of Medical Sciences and Sanaka Hospitals. Later pages add state medical and dental colleges such as Bankura, Barasat, Burdwan, Calcutta, Diamond Harbour, Jalpaiguri, Malda, Midnapore, Murshidabad, Nilratan, North Bengal, Raiganj, Rampurhat and Tamralipto, plus further private MBBS and BDS rows including JIS, JMN, Krishnanagar-area private capacity, Jakir Hossain, Sanaka dental, Raniganj Institute of Medical Science, PKG Medical College and Hospital, Jagannath Gupta North Kolkata and SKS Medical College.

Large private management rows stand out on the matrix. Examples include Santiniketan Medical College Private Management with 48 seats, Shri Ramkrishna Private Management with 35 seats, Krishnanagar-area private management with 117 seats, Raniganj Private Management with 118 seats and SKS Private Management with 84 seats, alongside smaller state-quota and NRI rows at the same institutes. Candidates must read each row's quota label before locking a preference, because a private management total is not interchangeable with the state-quota total printed on the next line for the same college.

How candidates should read matrix rows against the Round 2 choice window

Under the revised Round 2 schedule dated 03 September 2026, publication of the seat matrix on 12 September after 4 pm sits immediately ahead of online choice filling and locking by verified candidates through 10 am of 14 September 2026 as per server time. The allotment result is due after 6 pm on 15 September 2026. Only candidates who appear on the separate provisional verified list should treat the matrix as actionable for their Round 2 choices.

A practical reading method is to filter by programme first (MBBS or BDS), then by quota (State, Private Management or NRI), then by category columns including PwD splits. Candidates who already hold a Round 1 seat and are seeking upgradation should still study vacancy rows carefully, because upgraded candidates must collect fee and documents with a server-generated relieving letter from the previous college before joining a new allotment, according to the Round 2 reporting rules.

Do not confuse this matrix PDF with the verified-list PDF that answers eligibility, or with the formal session-start memo that tells colleges when the academic session begins. Those are different WBMCC stamps even when they share the mid-September window.

The primary PDF for this desk is https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s3aae8d1e00b15a30e5901227e97ffbef7/uploads/2026/09/2026091278468366.pdf, with the UG counselling portal at https://wbmcc.nic.in/ug-medical-dental-counselling/. The controlling stamp is the Round 2 seat matrix printed on 12 September 2026 at 16:21, covering 68 institute-quota rows and 1,209 total seats for WB NEET UG medical and dental counselling. That vacancy-matrix artefact, not the provisional verified list and not the formal session-start memo, is the story.
