In 2018, there was a news release about this. It said "Bengal will have five new medical colleges at Diamond Harbour, Raiganj, Rampurhat, Purulia and Cooch Behar in 2019. A private medical college at Budge Budge will also begin operating in 2018, provided it gets the nod from the Medical Council of India."

But none of these colleges have been inaugurated as of now, so there are no new colleges for now.
