West Bengal NEET MBBS Counselling Documents
Every document a West Bengal candidate needs. This covers the national papers every applicant must carry, plus the WBMCC state-quota proofs: what each one is, how to get it, what it costs, and the mistakes that lose a seat.
West Bengal splits domicile into three proformas, and who signs depends on which one you use
WBMCC uses a three-tier domicile system: Proforma A1, A2 or B, depending on where you live and where you studied. The catch is the signature. A1 and B must be signed by a gazetted officer (DM/ADM/SDO/BDO and the like); A2 must instead be signed by the Head Master/Principal of the West Bengal institution you passed 10+2 from in 2025. A certificate signed by a politician (MLA, MP, municipal councillor or panchayat member) is invalid on any proforma. If you use Proforma B (your parents live in WB but you do not), you must also bring two original parent IDs from Voter ID, Aadhaar or Passport showing a West Bengal address.
Pick the right proforma and the right person to sign it
A1 = you have lived in WB continuously for the last 10 years (as on 31.12.2024) AND you passed both class 10 and class 12 from West Bengal. A2 = 10-year WB residence AND you passed 10+2 in 2025 from WB. B = you do not live in WB, but a parent is a permanent WB resident.
The signatory rules are different for each. A1 and B must be signed by a gazetted officer such as a District Magistrate, ADM, Deputy Magistrate/Deputy Collector, SDO or BDO. A2 must be signed by the Head Master/Principal/Director/Head of the WB institution you passed 10+2 from in 2025. Signatures from MLAs, MPs, municipal councillors or panchayat members are invalid. A valid e-District domicile certificate is also accepted.
You are considered for the 85% state quota and the 15% All India Quota run by the MCC. The documents below cover both. One difference for AIQ: your OBC certificate must be on the Central OBC-NCL list in the central format. A West Bengal OBC certificate works for the state quota but is rejected for AIQ. If you plan to use both, get a central-list OBC-NCL certificate as well.

NEET UG 2026 Admit Card
National Testing Agency (NTA)
- What it is
- This is your proof that you sat the exam. It carries your roll number and the photo used to match your face at the desk.
- How to get it
- Download it from neet.nta.nic.in. A fresh admit card is being issued for the 21 June 2026 re-exam, so your old 3 May admit card no longer counts.

- Free.
- How long
- You can download it the moment results are declared.
Class 10 Certificate / Marksheet
Recognised national or state board
- What it is
- This is the accepted proof of your date of birth. The counselling authority wants the board certificate, not a municipal birth certificate.
- How to get it
- You already have this one. If you have lost it, apply to your board for a duplicate well before counselling starts.
- What it costs
- Free if you have it; a duplicate from the board costs about Rs.100–500.

Class 12 Marksheet + Passing Certificate
Recognised national or state board
- What it is
- This proves you cleared 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotech and English, and met the required aggregate (50% Open/EWS, 40% SC/ST/OBC, 40% Open-PwBD).
- How to get it
- You already have this one. It must show your individual subject marks.
- What it costs
- Free if you have it.
- How long
- Ready straight away if you have it.
Government Photo ID
Aadhaar / PAN / Passport / Voter ID / Driving Licence
- What it is
- This checks your identity against the admit card so nobody can sit in your place.
- How to get it
- Bring any valid, unexpired government ID. Aadhaar is the simplest choice, since your name has to match across all your documents.
- What it costs
- Free if you have it.
- How long
- Ready straight away if you have it.
Passport-size Photographs
Same photo as your NTA registration
- What it is
- These are for the college's records. They must be the same photo you uploaded during NEET registration.
- How to get it
- Print 8 colour copies from the exact file you uploaded to NTA.
- What it costs
- About Rs.50–150 at a photo studio.
- How long
- Same day.
Medical Fitness Certificate
Registered allopathic practitioner (MBBS or higher)
- What it is
- This confirms you are fit for clinical training. Some colleges issue it when you report; others want it in hand beforehand.
- How to get it
- Get it from a registered MBBS doctor, or from the allotted college's own medical board if they insist on using theirs.
- What it costs
- Free at a government hospital; Rs.200–1,000 at a private one.
- How long
- Same day.
Birth certificate: only needed as a backup if your Class 10 certificate does not print the exact date of birth.
West Bengal domicile: pick your proforma
Use exactly one proforma that matches your situation. The physical, signed proforma is the safest option; a valid e-District domicile certificate is also accepted.
Domicile Proforma A1
Gazetted officer (DM / ADM / Deputy Magistrate / Deputy Collector / SDO / BDO)
- What it is
- For candidates who have lived in West Bengal continuously for the last 10 years (as on 31.12.2024) and also passed BOTH class 10 and class 12 from West Bengal.
- How to get it
- Download the A1 proforma from wbmcc.nic.in, fill it in, and get it signed and stamped by a gazetted officer; or use a valid e-District domicile certificate instead. The signing officer must give their full name, designation, place of posting with address, and a phone number.
- What it costs
- Nominal.
- How long
- Allow 1–2 weeks; apply early.
Watch out: A1 needs both class 10 AND class 12 to have been passed in WB. A signature from a politician (MLA/MP/councillor/panchayat member) is invalid and voids the certificate.
Domicile Proforma A2
Head Master / Principal / Director / Head of your WB school (not a gazetted officer)
- What it is
- For candidates with 10 years of WB residence (as on 31.12.2024) who passed the 10+2 examination in 2025 from West Bengal.
- How to get it
- Get the A2 proforma signed and certified by the Head Master/Principal/Director/Head of the West Bengal institution you passed 10+2 from in 2025.
- What it costs
- Nominal.
- How long
- Allow 1–2 weeks.
Watch out: A2 is NOT signed by a gazetted officer; only your school head can sign it. Use A2 only if you passed 10+2 in 2025 from WB; otherwise use A1.
Domicile Proforma B + Parent IDs
Gazetted officer (same list as A1) + two original parent IDs
- What it is
- For candidates who have NOT lived in WB for the last 10 years (you passed class 10 or 12 or both outside WB) but whose parent is a permanent WB resident who has lived there continuously for at least the last 10 years (as on 31.12.2024).
- How to get it
- Fill in Proforma B, get it signed by a gazetted officer (same list as A1), and attach any two original parent IDs from Voter ID card, Aadhaar card and Passport that show a West Bengal address.
- What it costs
- Nominal.
- How long
- Allow 1–2 weeks.
Watch out: The two parent IDs must be from Voter ID, Aadhaar or Passport only, and must clearly show the WB address, or the Proforma B claim fails.
WBMCC Candidate Profile Letter + Payment Receipt

- What it is
- The profile letter the system generates, plus your counselling-fee receipt. The profile letter carries your document-verification venue, date and time slot.
- How to get it
- Register and pay the non-refundable online counselling fee (Rs 2,000 for Unreserved; Rs 1,500 for SC/ST/OBC-A/OBC-B/PwD/EWS) at wbmcc.nic.in by card/net banking/UPI, then download the profile letter and receipt from your candidate login.
- What it costs
- Rs 1,500–Rs 2,000 (non-refundable).
- How long
- Instant after the payment goes through.
Watch out: You must bring the hard copy of both the profile letter and the payment receipt to physical verification, or you will not be verified.
Reservation & medical documents
Only if it applies to youThe category items apply only if you are claiming reservation; the medical proforma is for everyone.

Competent authority in West Bengal ONLY
- What it is
- Proof of your reserved category for the WB state quota. WB recognises SC, ST, OBC Category A and OBC Category B.
- How to get it
- Get the certificate from a competent authority in West Bengal. A caste certificate issued in another state is not accepted for the WB state quota, and you are then treated as Unreserved. At registration you can only declare Open or OBC-A/OBC-B afresh; SC/ST status cannot be added at registration.
- What it costs
- Nominal.
- How long
- About 1–2 weeks.
Watch out: Must be issued by an authority in West Bengal; an out-of-state caste certificate is rejected for the state quota.
Medical Fitness Certificate (WBMCC format)
Registered Medical Practitioner, in WBMCC's prescribed format
- What it is
- WBMCC's own fitness proforma. This is a required document, separate from any medical check the college does.

Same WB authority that issued the OBC-A/OBC-B caste certificate
- What it is
- Proof that you are not in the creamy layer, needed to claim an OBC-A or OBC-B seat in the WB state quota.
- How to get it
- If your OBC-A/OBC-B caste certificate was issued before 01.04.2025, get a separate NCL certificate issued on or after 01.04.2025 from the same authority that issued the caste certificate. If the caste certificate itself was issued on or after 01.04.2025, you do not need a separate NCL.
- What it costs
- Nominal.
- How long
- About 1–2 weeks.
Watch out: Without a valid NCL (or a caste certificate dated on/after 01.04.2025), an OBC-A/OBC-B candidate is treated as Unreserved for the state quota.
EWS Certificate
Appropriate WB authority, in WBMCC's prescribed format
- What it is
- Proof of Economically Weaker Section status for the WB state quota (available with or without PwD status).
- How to get it
- Get the EWS certificate from the appropriate authority in the format published on the WBMCC website. It must be issued on or after 01.04.2025 to be valid.
- What it costs
- Nominal.
- How long
- About 1–2 weeks.
Watch out: An EWS certificate issued before 01.04.2025, or not in the WBMCC format, is rejected, and you are treated as Unreserved.
Special quotas
Only if it applies to youOnly if these apply to you.
PwD Certificate (state quota: IPGME&R Kolkata)
Medical Board, IPGME&R Kolkata (state) / MCC-designated centre (AIQ)
- What it is
- For the Persons with Disability horizontal quota, covering the 21 benchmark disabilities under the RPwD Act 2016.
- How to get it
- For the WB state quota, get your PwD status verified at the Medical Board of IPGME&R Kolkata (244, A.J.C. Bose Road, Kolkata 700020) through the online link MCC/DGHS provides. For AIQ you need a certificate from one of the MCC-designated centres.
- What it costs
- Free at a government facility.
- How long
- Apply early; verification happens only on stipulated days.
Watch out: A PwD certificate from any centre other than those designated by MCC is not accepted. A state PwD certificate does not cover your AIQ PwD claim, and the other way round.
The West Bengal checklist
- Domicile: pick A1, A2 or B to match your case, signed by a gazetted officer, never a politician.
- Proforma B: add two original parent IDs showing a WB address.
- Medical: use the WBMCC standardised medical proforma.
- Category: current OBC/EWS certificates, freshly dated.
- Central vs state for AIQ: WB category certificates are for the state quota; AIQ needs a central-list OBC-NCL certificate.

About this guide
Verified 19 June 2026Prepared by neet2seat. Rules, fees and timelines were verified against official sources as of 7 June 2026, using the 2025 counselling cycle as the baseline because the 2026 MCC and state information bulletins were not yet published when this was written. The 3 May 2026 NEET UG exam was cancelled; the re-exam is on 21 June 2026 with results expected in July, so every counselling date will move accordingly. Fee figures are from 2025 bulletins and can change. Cross-check the exact proforma, fee and signing authority against the official 2026 brochure before you get any certificate made. This is information, not legal advice.
