Anticipated Release of Bihar NEET UG Counselling 2026 Timeline; Review Registration and Selection Procedure

The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) is poised to announce the schedule for the Bihar NEET UG Counselling 2026, which is anticipated to commence shortly. This counselling process is crucial for candidates seeking admission to undergraduate medical courses, including MBBS and BDS, under the state's 85% quota. The counselling will be facilitated through the Under Graduate Medical Admission Counselling (UGMAC) 2026 portal, specifically for those who have successfully qualified in the NEET UG examination.

While the official counselling schedule has yet to be released, it is expected that the registration and choice filling processes will begin soon after the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling concludes. The BCECEB is likely to publish a detailed notification on its website, outlining the complete counselling timeline, which will include important dates for registration, application fee payment, merit list publication, choice filling, seat allotment, document verification, and reporting deadlines.

To be eligible for participation in the Bihar NEET UG Counselling 2026, candidates must meet several criteria. They should have qualified the NEET UG 2026 examination, fulfill the eligibility requirements set by BCECEB, and meet the domicile conditions applicable to Bihar residents. Additionally, candidates must have completed Class 12 or an equivalent qualification with the necessary subjects and minimum qualifying marks, along with valid documentation supporting any category or reservation claims.

The registration process for the Bihar NEET counselling will be conducted entirely online via the UGMAC portal. Candidates are required to register using their NEET UG 2026 details, fill in their personal, academic, and domicile information, upload necessary documents, pay the counselling registration fee, and submit the application form. Only those who complete the registration will be permitted to participate in the choice filling process.

During the choice filling phase, registered candidates will have the opportunity to select their preferred medical and dental colleges. It is essential for candidates to carefully arrange their choices in order of preference, save their selections before the deadline, and lock in their final preferences before the choice locking window closes. This meticulous process is vital for ensuring that candidates secure their desired placements in the competitive field of medical education.
