WBMCC suspends WB NEET UG Counselling 2025 “till further order”

The West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee has suspended NEET UG 2025 counselling to MBBS and BDS courses indefinitely. The decision, made just before the round 1 seat allotment results, has put almost 11,000 students in doubt.

In a sudden development, the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC) has suspended the NEET UG 2025 round 1 admission process for MBBS and BDS courses “till further order.” The announcement came just two days before the scheduled release of the round 1 seat allotment result, leaving over 11,000 candidates in uncertainty.

“The WB NEET UG Medical Dental 2025 Counseling/Admission process has been kept in abeyance till further order. All concerned are hereby informed accordingly,” read the official notification.

The suspension comes shortly after the publication of the revised provisional state merit list for the 85% state quota seats, which included 11,178 candidates. However, no specific reason for the halt was cited in the urgent notice.

Why Was NEET Admission Suspended in West Bengal?

The Calcutta High Court had already put the admission process on hold due to a court battle over OBC reservation. Later, the court permitted the process to proceed, directing the WBJEEB board to issue a fresh merit list by August 22, 2025.

Following this, the WBMCC issued the updated merit list on August 16, and the round 1 seat allotment result was scheduled to be announced on August 20 around 4 p.m., with college reporting from August 21 to 23. However, all plans have been suspended.
