The West Bengal NEET PG Seat Matrix 2026 helps medical graduates compare MD/MS courses and colleges before filling their counselling choices. The National Medical Commission (NMC) published its postgraduate seat matrix for the 2026–27 academic year on 29 September 2026. Candidates can use it to check approved course intake across government and private institutions. The latest West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) notices remain essential for checking quota-wise and round-wise seat availability.
West Bengal NEET PG Seat Matrix 2026: Official Overview
The NMC’s official PG Seat Matrix for the 2026–27 academic year lists medical institutions, their government or private classification, approved postgraduate courses and annual intake. The published document reflects the approved position as of 29 September 2026. NMC may revise the matrix after competent authorities approve additional seats or courses.
The West Bengal entries cover MD/MS courses across several government and private medical colleges. Candidates should distinguish these approved intake figures from vacancies available during a specific counselling round. An approved seat does not guarantee availability under a particular quota.
Important: The tables below present selected college-course entries from the official NMC matrix. They do not represent the complete statewide MD/MS intake or live counselling vacancies.

West Bengal NEET PG Course Wise Seats: What Should You Check?
The West Bengal MD MS Seat Matrix includes multiple clinical, para-clinical and non-clinical specialties. The most useful comparison depends on the course you want to pursue.
Candidates can check specialties such as:
- MD courses: General Medicine, Paediatrics, Dermatology, Anaesthesiology, Psychiatry, Radiodiagnosis, Pathology and Community Medicine.
- MS courses: General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology and ENT.
Use the NMC PDF to check the approved intake for your preferred college and specialty. The document lists course names and institution categories alongside the annual seat count.
Candidates should avoid adding MD, MS, diploma and super-speciality seats into one total. These programmes represent different qualifications and admission pathways. This article’s tables cover selected MD/MS courses only.
West Bengal NEET PG Category Wise Seat Matrix and State Quota
The West Bengal NEET PG Category Wise Seat Matrix requires candidates to check both their reservation eligibility and the applicable counselling pool.
The WBMCC PG Medical Counselling portal conducts counselling for state-quota seats in government medical colleges. It also handles state-quota, management-quota and NRI-quota seats in private medical colleges. The authority considers applicable categories such as Unreserved (UR), Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Persons with Disabilities (PwD).
State Quota vs All India Quota
West Bengal state counselling and All India Quota (AIQ) counselling follow separate allocation processes. WBMCC publishes state counselling information, while the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) publishes central counselling notices and seat matrices.
Candidates should check the correct authority for each seat. They should not add state-quota seats and AIQ seats together without checking the applicable seat pool.
WBMCC also specifies special provisions for eligible in-service candidates. Its published counselling information reserves 40% of state-quota degree seats and 50% of state-quota diploma seats for eligible in-service teachers and medical officers.
State-sponsored DNB seats follow their own stated provisions. Candidates must consult the current WBMCC information bulletin for the applicable eligibility and allocation rules.
Remember: The government/private classification in the NMC matrix identifies the institution. It does not represent the candidate’s UR, EWS, OBC, SC or ST reservation category. Candidates should check the relevant counselling matrix for category-wise availability.
West Bengal NEET PG Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3 Seat Matrix
The West Bengal NEET PG counselling seat matrix can change between rounds. Candidates should use the latest official document for the round in which they participate.
| Counselling Round | What Candidates Should Check |
|---|---|
| Round 1 | Initial seat availability, eligible quotas, course options and category details |
| Round 2 | Revised vacancies, available upgrades and any changes published by WBMCC |
| Round 3 | Updated seats and applicable conversion rules under the official counselling notice |
| Stray vacancy round | Seats and eligibility listed in the specific official stray-round notice |
As of 27 October 2026, WBMCC’s public notice listing provides the 2026 information bulletin, and its official schedule page lists Round 1 counselling information.
Candidates should visit the WBMCC PG Medical Counselling page and its PG Medical schedule page for current notices and access to the active counselling process. Candidates should rely on the relevant official round-wise matrix for actual seat availability rather than use the approved NMC intake as a vacancy count.
