Why Is Choice Filling Important for WB NEET UG Counselling?
The choice-filling stage is one of the most important parts of the West Bengal NEET UG counselling process. The allotment of a college and course depends on several factors, including:
- Candidate's NEET UG rank
- Category
- Eligibility
- Choices and preferences submitted
- Applicable quota
- Availability of seats in participating colleges
Therefore, candidates should not fill their choices randomly. They should examine the seat matrix, available colleges, courses and their own merit position before deciding the order of preferences.
What Happens After West Bengal NEET UG Round 1 Choice Filling?
After the Round 1 choice-filling and locking process concludes, the WBMCC will use the submitted preferences along with the candidate's merit, category and available seats to process the West Bengal NEET UG 2026 Round 1 seat allotment.
Candidates who receive a seat allotment will subsequently have to follow the admission instructions and complete the prescribed procedures within the schedule announced by the counselling authority.
