Candidates who have been allotted a seat in Round 1 must physically appear at their respective allotted dental college with all original academic certificates, statutory identity documents, bond execution affidavits, and tuition fee demand drafts.

- Stage 2 – Medical Examination: The candidate undergoes routine physical fitness checks by the institutional medical board to certify medical fitness for clinical dental practice.
- Stage 3 – Discontinuation Bond Submission: Candidates submit the executed non-judicial stamp paper bond of Rs. 5,00,000 along with demy paper legal drafting as prescribed in the WBMCC PG Dental Information Bulletin.
- Stage 4 – Fee Remittance and Admission Slip Generation: Candidates pay the statutory admission and tuition fees. The college authority issues the official Server-Generated Admission Receipt and Document Handover Acknowledgement.
If an allotted candidate fails to report physically by 04:00 PM on September 11, 2026, the allotted seat will be automatically cancelled, treated as a non-reporting vacancy, and carried over to the Round 2 seat matrix.

Round 2 Upgradation Rules, Free Exit, and Seat Retention Process
Understanding the seat retention and upgradation rules in West Bengal NEET MDS counselling is critical to avoid accidental seat loss or financial forfeiture:
- Option to Seek Upgradation: When reporting to the allotted college in Round 1, candidates who wish to try for a better specialty or preferred college in Round 2 must mark “YES” for Willingness to Upgrade on their physical verification acknowledgement slip.
- Seat Retention Security: If a candidate opts for upgradation and does not get allotted any higher choice in Round 2, their Round 1 seat remains 100% safe and retained.
- Automatic Cancellation on Upgradation: If a candidate is allotted an upgraded seat in Round 2, their Round 1 seat is automatically cancelled and offered to other candidates. The candidate must collect their original documents from the Round 1 college and report to the newly allotted Round 2 college.
- Free Exit Policy in Round 1: Candidates allotted a seat in Round 1 who do not wish to join can simply abstain from physical reporting. Under WBMCC rules, this is treated as a Free Exit without forfeiture of registration security deposits. However, candidates must keep in mind that opting for free exit forfeits the allotted seat permanently.
