# NMC lists 2,384 PG and super-speciality seats in West Bengal for 2026-27 2026-10-09T04:51:20+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The National Medical Commission has released the 2026-27 seat matrix for West Bengal, showing 2,384 postgraduate and super-speciality medical seats across government and private colleges and deemed universities in the state. Obstetrics and Gynaecology leads with 218 seats, followed by General Medicine with 199, General Surgery with 197, and Anaesthesiology with 195. The commission clarified that the list does not include seats from applications received for increasing intake in existing courses or starting new PG courses for this academic year. Among super-speciality courses, Cardiology has 27 DM seats, Neurology 19, and Medical Gastroenterology 14. MCh programmes include Plastic Surgery with 19 seats, Neurosurgery with 18, and Urology with 21. Diploma courses offer Anaesthesiology and Obstetrics and Gynaecology with 23 seats each. The national seat matrix released earlier by the NMC totals 63,177 MD, MS, Diploma, DM and MCh seats for 2026-27. ## Indian Opinion Analysis ObGyn and General Medicine dominate West Bengal's PG seat allocation for 2026-27, but the state's 2,384 total slots sit within a national matrix of over 63,000 seats. The commission's clarification that it excludes pending applications for new or expanded courses leaves the final tally uncertain. Deemed university allocations are bundled into the state count without a separate break-out, so applicants cannot yet weigh government versus private availability. The seat matrix itself, however, now gives candidates a clear target list for counselling choices. ## Coverage - medicaldialogues.in straightforward seat matrix report, no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
