Why it matters

Eligible candidates have a time-limited chance to enter preferences. The processing fee and a valid rank do not replace the later college-verification requirements.

The WB JENPAS deadline for the current mop-up counselling round falls on 10 November 2026, with the West Bengal University of Health Sciences portal showing choice filling ending at 11.59.59 pm. The university’s notice limits this exercise to allied health sciences courses.

Applicants need to distinguish the opportunity to enter counselling from an actual admission. A valid examination rank, a submitted preference list and an allotted seat are separate stages, and the university requires document verification before admission is completed.

WB JENPAS deadline and the next three dates

The university’s 5 November notice gives 6 to 10 November as the registration and choice-filling period. The live counselling page supplies the precise closing time, displaying 10 November at 23:59:59 for the end of choice filling.

The two-page official notice gives a tentative schedule for the later stages: seat allotment on 12 November, followed by admission at the allotted college from 13 to 15 November. Those later dates are tentative, rather than a claim that the result has already been issued.

Who can take part in this mop-up round

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) conducted the JENPAS UG 2026 examination and the earlier counselling rounds. The university is conducting this centralised mop-up exercise for the allied health sciences courses specified in its notice.

One eligible group consists of candidates who registered in the board’s counselling but were not allotted a seat in any course or college in any round. A second group consists of candidates with a valid JENPAS UG 2026 rank card who did not register in that earlier counselling.

The second group is allowed to register afresh for this round after paying the counselling processing fee. The notice therefore does not make earlier registration an absolute requirement for everyone, but it also does not open the exercise to people without the required examination rank.

Because the notice says allied health sciences courses only, it should not be treated as a general reopening of every course covered by the examination name. The available courses and colleges are shown in the candidate’s seat matrix on the portal.

What the ₹500 payment actually covers

The notice specifies a ₹500 counselling processing fee for candidates who did not register in the board’s counselling. It says that payment is non-refundable regardless of the counselling outcome. This is a processing charge, not a statement of the full cost of studying at an allotted college.

After logging in through the university’s counselling section, candidates can see the vacancy matrix and choose a course, seat category and college. The preferences must be ranked. The university instructs candidates to select and rank as many available colleges as possible.

Choices can be edited during the permitted period and then locked. If they are not locked, the notice says the last edited version will be treated as the final ranking. That makes the actual order of the saved choices important, rather than merely the fact that a list exists.

Printed portal records matter at verification

Allotment is based on the candidate’s preferences and examination rank. The candidate must attend the allotted college in person by the admission deadline for verification of the required records, including examination, identity and reservation documents where applicable.

For counselling documents such as allotment letters, locked choices and receipts, the notice requires originals printed directly from the portal. Screenshots, photographs and manually reproduced copies are not accepted. The allotment receipt and admission receipt are also needed for university registration.

The registrar warns that failure to complete verification within the schedule cancels the current allotment. The notice also says the university will not conduct a further round for this academic session even if seats remain vacant.
