Chittaranjan Hospital Kolkata OPD timing

The current CNMC Citizen Charter gives separate times for ticket distribution and patient examination. Treat these as OPD service times, not as a guarantee that every specialist doctor or clinic follows exactly the same daily schedule.

TICKET

OPD ticket distribution

9:00 AM to 2:00 PM is the published ticket distribution window.

OPD

Patient examination

9:00 AM to 2:00 PM or until the last patient is the published examination timing.

CHECK

Specialist clinic timing

Department-specific days and unit schedules can differ. Confirm the correct clinic before making a long journey.

Do not arrive at 2 PM expecting a new ticket. The published ticket window ends at 2 PM. Queue pressure, departmental workflow or same-day limits can affect how smoothly a late arrival is handled, so earlier arrival is more practical for a first visit.

Can you book a Chittaranjan Hospital OPD ticket online?

The Health & Family Welfare Department, Government of West Bengal operates an official Online Ticket Booking Portal. It provides online ticket booking and access to online test reports for participating services.

Use the government portal rather than an unofficial booking website. Availability can depend on the hospital, department and current configuration shown after you open the portal.

Open the West Bengal Health online portal.
Go to the official Online Ticket Booking Portal.
Select Online Ticket Booking.
Use the patient ticket option shown on the government portal.
Look for Calcutta National Medical College & Hospital.
Do not select Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute or another similarly named facility.
Choose the correct department.

Enter patient information carefully.
Use the patient’s correct name, age, mobile details and any identifier requested by the government portal.
Save the ticket or confirmation.
Keep the confirmation on the phone and, if practical, carry a printout or screenshot.
If CNMCH or your department is not available online: this does not automatically mean the OPD is closed. Use the hospital’s counter route or call the hospital to confirm the current registration method.

Emergency vs routine OPD at Chittaranjan Hospital

Routine OPD is for planned outpatient consultation. A serious emergency should not be delayed while trying to create an online ticket, waiting for the 9 AM OPD window or searching for a specialist appointment.

OPD

Use routine OPD for

  • Planned non-emergency consultation
  • Follow-up advised by a doctor
  • Stable symptoms requiring specialist review
  • Routine referral to a listed department
SOS

Seek urgent help for

  • Unconsciousness or severe breathing difficulty
  • Major accident, severe injury or heavy bleeding
  • Stroke-like symptoms or sudden severe weakness
  • Other immediately life-threatening conditions
No verified dedicated emergency phone number was clearly labelled on the current CNMC contact page reviewed for this guide. For life-threatening emergencies, go directly to emergency/casualty or dial 112 for India’s Emergency Response Support System rather than relying on an unverified hospital number.

Calcutta Pavlov Hospital is CNMC’s second campus for psychiatry services

The CNMC Citizen Charter identifies Calcutta Pavlov Hospital as the second campus of Calcutta National Medical College & Hospital and describes psychiatric outpatient and inpatient services there.

Outpatient services listed

  • Evaluation of new cases
  • Follow-up of existing patients
  • Psychological testing
  • Psychotherapy and counselling
  • De-addiction counselling

Why this matters

A psychiatry referral may not follow exactly the same building route as a general medical OPD visit at Gorachand Road.

Confirm the campus and reporting point before travelling, especially if your prescription says Pavlov Hospital or Psychiatry.

What to carry for a Chittaranjan Hospital OPD visit

First-time patient checklist

  • Government-issued photo ID if available
  • Patient mobile number
  • Online ticket or screenshot if booked digitally
  • Referral letter if another doctor referred you
  • Previous prescriptions and discharge summaries
  • Blood-test, X-ray, ultrasound, CT or MRI reports relevant to the problem

Follow-up patient checklist

  • Previous CNMCH OPD ticket or hospital papers
  • Old prescription showing department/unit
  • Tests ordered during the last visit
  • Discharge summary if recently admitted
  • Current medicines with doses
  • Any date or clinic instruction written by the doctor
ABHA note: the West Bengal online portal offers ABHA-related digital services, but do not assume an ABHA number is mandatory for every walk-in hospital service unless the current booking flow or hospital specifically asks for it.

First visit: a practical step-by-step route

Confirm that CNMCH is the correct hospital.
Check that your referral or intended destination is Calcutta National Medical College & Hospital, not CNCI or Chittaranjan Seva Sadan.
Check the department.
Know whether you need Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, ENT, Ophthalmology, Paediatrics, Gynae & Obstetrics or another listed OPD.
Try the government online ticket route if useful.
Use the West Bengal Health portal and save the confirmation if your hospital and department are available.
If registering at the hospital, arrive within the OPD ticket window.
The Citizen Charter lists ticket distribution from 9 AM to 2 PM.
Show your old papers if this is a follow-up.
This helps staff identify the department, unit and previous treatment route.
Ask where tests or the next counter are located.
Do not assume every laboratory, imaging unit or specialty clinic uses the same queue.
Before leaving, confirm the next step.
Ask whether you need a follow-up date, repeat registration, test report, referral or another department visit.

OPD fees, tests and payment: what is actually verified?

The current CNMC Citizen Charter page reviewed for this guide publishes OPD departments and timing, but it does not clearly state a current universal OPD ticket fee for 2026.

Do not rely on an old blog post or an unofficial directory for the exact current amount. Ask the official counter or check the government booking flow before paying.

Payment safety: pay only through an official government/hospital counter or clearly identified government digital service. Keep the receipt for tests, registration or any paid service.

Common problems and what to do

Problem Why it happens Best next action
Wrong Chittaranjan hospital Several Kolkata hospitals share the Chittaranjan name. Check full official name and PIN code before travelling.
Online ticket option not visible Hospital/department availability can vary in the government portal. Use counter registration or call the hospital for current guidance.
Arrived after ticket time Published ticket distribution ends at 2 PM. Ask the hospital counter whether any same-day route remains; otherwise confirm the next OPD day.
You do not know the department A symptom can overlap several specialties. Show the referral or previous prescription and ask the registration/help counter rather than guessing a surgical specialty.
Named doctor not available Staff rosters and unit schedules can change. Ask whether another doctor in the same unit/department is seeing patients or confirm the appropriate clinic day.
Urgent condition during OPD wait Clinical condition can worsen while waiting. Tell hospital staff immediately and use emergency/casualty rather than continuing to wait in a routine queue.
