WB NEET UG 2025: Counseling Process Overview
The NEET UG exam is the gateway for admission to MBBS, BDS, and other medical courses in India. After the NEET UG 2025 result was declared, state counseling authorities started their registration process for admission to state quota seats.
In West Bengal, the counseling process is managed by the West Bengal Medical Counseling Committee (WBMCC). The process includes several steps such as:
- Online registration
- Choice filling and locking
- Seat allotment rounds
- Document verification
- Reporting to allotted colleges
However, this year, after the merit list was revised, the counseling process was unexpectedly halted, creating uncertainty for thousands of candidates. Let us see why this happened and what is the new schedule now.
Why Was WB NEET UG 2025 Counseling Stopped Earlier?
On 18th August 2025, the revised merit list for NEET UG counseling was published. Shortly after that, the counseling process was stopped without prior notice. This sudden decision raised concerns among students and parents.
Many students were worried about their future because the delay could affect admission timelines. Even Union Minister of State for Education, Sukanta Majumdar, criticized the state government for this abrupt halt, saying it could push the future of students into uncertainty.
Now, the good news is that the process has resumed, and the authorities have issued a fresh counseling schedule to make sure admissions happen on time.
