Candidates who have been participating in the Bihar NEET counselling process can now access their rank cards in PDF format directly through the official BCECEB portal at bceceboard.bihar.gov.in. To retrieve the document, applicants are required to log in using their unique UGMAC ID and their date of birth. It is essential for all prospective students to verify their details on the rank card, as inclusion in this list is a mandatory requirement for proceeding to the subsequent stages of the admission cycle.

Stray Vacancy Round Schedule and Admission Process

Following the publication of the rank card on October 25, 2026, the board has outlined a strict timeline for the remaining activities. Candidates are advised that the window for choice filling, editing, and locking their preferences also concludes on October 25, 2026. Only those candidates whose names appear on the released rank card are eligible to participate in this choice-filling and locking process, which is critical for the final seat allocation.

The board is scheduled to announce the provisional seat allotment results on October 27, 2026. Once these results are published, successful candidates will be able to download their provisional seat allotment orders from the official website. This download facility will remain active from October 27 through October 29, 2026.
