Overview
The West Bengal Centralised Admission Portal (WBCAP) Merit List 2026 for Mop-Up Round 3 has been released for candidates seeking undergraduate admission in participating colleges across West Bengal. The Higher Education Department, Government of West Bengal, has issued the seat allocation result online at wbcap.in; this is an admission process, so no recruitment posts are involved, while the number of available seats varies by college, course and category.
Candidates included in the third mop-up allocation must check their allotment status, download the relevant document and complete admission formalities within the prescribed schedule. Failure to accept the allotted seat or pay the admission fee by the deadline may result in cancellation of the allocation.
