WB NEET-UG 2025 Counselling
West Bengal’s MBBS and BDS admissions are back on track after a short suspension, following a decisive Supreme Court stay order that set aside previous conditions imposed by the Calcutta High Court.
The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) responded swiftly, issuing a revised schedule for Round 1 of the NEET-UG 2025 counselling—welcome news for thousands of medical aspirants in the state.
Admission Process Resumes After Legal Clarity
The state’s MBBS and dental (BDS) admissions, originally halted on August 19 due to confusion around OBC reservation rules and a Calcutta HC order, have now resumed.
Indrajit Saha, Director of Medical Education, confirmed the resumption, with candidate notifications and college allotment results set to be released through the official WBMCC website.
