WB NEET UG 2026 Counselling Round 1 – Important Dates
WBMCC has published a Round 1 counselling schedule notice on its official website. As per publicly reported coverage of this notice, Round 1 counselling activities are scheduled to take place between 13 August 2026 and 22 August 2026. However, WBMCC’s own schedule document is published as a non-text (image-based) PDF, so a detailed day-by-day breakup of every individual stage (exact registration start/end time, document verification dates, choice-filling and choice-locking window, seat allotment result date, and reporting window) could not be independently confirmed from a text-readable source at the time of writing.
WB NEET UG 2026 Counselling Fee
Multiple news reports indicate a counselling registration fee of approximately ₹2,000, with some sources suggesting a possible category-wise variation (a lower fee for SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD candidates). This fee figure has not been independently verified against a text-readable official WBMCC document, so candidates must confirm the exact, category-wise fee amount from the official Notice cum Information Bulletin before making any payment.
