State Quota Counselling in West Bengal
State Quota seats in West Bengal — covering 85% of government medical college seats plus all private/deemed colleges in the state — are allotted by the West Bengal Medical/Health Education Directorate through a separate counselling process, usually requiring domicile or local residency proof. Reservation percentages for OBC/SC/ST/EWS at the state level may differ from the central AIQ percentages — always confirm the exact figures from West Bengal’s official counselling notification once released for NEET 2026.
All India Quota — Applicable to West Bengal Candidates
Regardless of which state you belong to, you can also compete for the 15% All India Quota seats (plus AIIMS, JIPMER, ESIC, AFMC) conducted centrally by MCC on mcc.nic.in, using your NEET 2026 All India Rank. See the full AIQ Counselling 2026 guide for the complete process.
