Overview

• An August 18 notice from the Directorate of Medical Education and the WBMCC placed the WB NEET UG 2025 counselling and admissions in abeyance until further order.
• Round 1 results planned for August 20 stand cancelled, which also disrupts reporting that was scheduled for August 21 to 23.
• Coverage attributes the pause to unresolved litigation over the OBC reservation list, with no official reason stated in the notice.
• Earlier orders required using the pre‑2010 list of 66 OBC communities with a seven percent quota, followed by a Supreme Court interim stay on July 28 and an adjournment on August 11.
• WBMCC had issued a revised provisional merit list on August 16 for 11,178 candidates under the 85 percent state quota, as students and political figures now press for clarity and new dates.
