WB NEET PG Choice Filling Tips
- Check the seat matrix published for each round separately – seat availability shifts round to round.
- Fill choices strictly in the order you are willing to join; do not leave out a college only because it seems unlikely, since ranks fluctuate between rounds.
- Compare tuition fee, hostel charges, and the applicable bond for each college before locking, especially for private colleges.
- Non-domicile candidates should focus choices on Management Quota seats, since State Quota and In-Service Quota seats require WB domicile.
- If also registered for MCC AIQ counselling, track the MCC round dates closely – an AIQ allotment can affect your participation in the WBMCC state rounds.
- Lock your choices before the deadline; unlocked choices are not considered for allotment.
