The last MBBS and BDS seats of West Bengal’s 2026-27 admission cycle are being handed out today. The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) publishes the NEET UG 2026 stray vacancy round seat allotment result today, October 23, 2026, by 12 noon on its official portal, wbmcc.nic.in. Anyone who registered for the round and locked choices last weekend should check the portal as soon as the result link appears.

This is the final round of WB NEET UG 2026 counselling. It fills the seats that stayed vacant after Round 3 across the state’s medical and dental colleges. Nothing is scheduled after this round for the 2026-27 session.

What is at stake today

The stray round draws on the vacant seats listed in the seat matrix WBMCC released on October 17, after 5 pm. The matrix covers government, private and dental colleges across West Bengal, across three seat types: state quota, private management quota and NRI quota seats. The state quota covers 85 per cent of the medical seats, and domicile candidates of West Bengal get priority in it.

Allotment is made on merit, the choices each candidate locked, eligibility, and the seats still available. Because this is a mop-up round, candidates should treat the allotted seat as final: admission on a stray-round seat is mandatory for those who took part.

How the round got here

The schedule moved fast. Online registration ran on October 16, 2026, from 11 am to 8 pm, with fee payment open till midnight the same day. Candidate document verification happened on October 17 from 9 am to 4 pm, and the verified candidates list with the seat matrix went up after 5 pm. Choice filling and locking then ran from the evening of October 17 to October 18. Only candidates who completed every step in that window are in the running for today’s allotment.

Checking the result

Open the official WBMCC portal and look for the UG Medical and Dental Counselling section. The result link for the NEET UG 2026 online stray vacancy seat allotment appears there once the committee publishes it. Candidates may need to log in to see their individual allotment, so keep the registration details handy. Check the allotted college, course and quota before downloading the details, and do not treat forwarded lists on messaging apps as confirmation.

Reporting: what to carry

Reporting and admission run on October 23, 24 and 26, 2026, from 10 am to 4 pm at the allotted medical or dental college. Candidates must bring original documents for verification along with photocopies, the NEET UG 2026 scorecard, domicile and category certificates where applicable, passport-size photographs, and the admission fee. Since the stray round is the end of the counselling cycle, missing the reporting dates means losing the seat. Our admission documents checklist lists everything worth keeping ready before leaving for the college.
