The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has announced the Round 1 result of the Under Graduate Medical Admission Counselling (UGMAC)-2026 — the state-level counselling process through which NEET UG qualified candidates get seats in Bihar's government and private MBBS and BDS colleges (along with veterinary and fisheries courses). The Provisional Seat Allotment Result for Round 1 has been uploaded on the Board's website on 25 August 2026. Because the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), which runs the all-India counselling, extended its own schedule, BCECEB has also extended the Round 1 programme for UGMAC-2026. This notice gives the revised dates for downloading the allotment order and for document verification and admission.
If you have been allotted a seat in UGMAC-2026 Round 1, you must download your allotment order and report for document verification and admission between 27 and 31 August 2026 — missing this window can cost you the seat.
What exactly was announced
This is a schedule notice, not a fresh application window. BCECEB had earlier opened UGMAC-2026 registration and choice-filling through Advertisement No. BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/01 and /02, both dated 7 August 2026. This new notice, Adv. No. BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/03 dated 25 August 2026, tells candidates that the Round 1 seat allotment result is now out and gives the extended dates for the next steps.
The extension has happened because MCC (which conducts the central 15% All India Quota counselling) pushed back its own counselling timeline, and state boards like BCECEB have adjusted their schedules to stay in sync.
Key dates for Round 1
These are the dates given in this notice. All other terms and conditions of the original Advertisement No. BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/01 dated 7 August 2026 continue to apply unchanged.
| Activity | Date/Period |
|---|---|
| Round 1 Provisional Seat Allotment Result published | 25.08.2026 |
| Downloading of Allotment Order (Round 1) | 25.08.2026 to 31.08.2026 |
| Document Verification and Admission (Round 1) | 27.08.2026 to 31.08.2026 |
What allotted candidates must do now
If your name appears in the Round 1 provisional seat allotment list, you have a narrow window to act. Log in to the BCECEB website (bceceboard.bihar.gov.in) using your counselling credentials, check the college and course you have been allotted, and download your allotment order — this is possible from 25 to 31 August 2026.
Next, you must report for document verification and complete the admission formalities at the allotted college or the designated reporting centre between 27 and 31 August 2026. This notice does not itself list the specific documents required — that list was given in the original Advertisement No. BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/01 dated 7 August 2026, and candidates should refer back to that document (and their allotment order, which usually reiterates the checklist) before reporting, since a missing certificate at this stage can lead to the allotment being cancelled.
- Download the Round 1 allotment order between 25.08.2026 and 31.08.2026.
- Report for document verification and admission between 27.08.2026 and 31.08.2026.
- Carry the exact documents listed in Adv. No. BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/01 dated 07.08.2026 — do not assume; verify the checklist yourself on the Board's website before travelling to the college.
Why the dates were pushed
State counselling authorities like BCECEB run their processes in coordination with MCC's all-India timeline, because many candidates simultaneously participate in both All India Quota counselling (run by MCC) and state quota counselling (run by the state board). When MCC extends its schedule — for example, to accommodate more rounds or resolve seat-matrix issues — states typically extend their own rounds too, so that candidates are not forced to choose between reporting for a state seat and staying eligible for an all-India round.
This is a routine administrative alignment and does not, by itself, change any eligibility rule, fee, or document requirement for candidates.
What happens after Round 1
BCECEB has explicitly stated that the schedule for Round 2 online counselling will be announced separately, in due course. Candidates who do not get a seat in Round 1, or who wish to try for a better seat in later rounds (subject to the Board's upgradation/exit rules), should keep checking the official website regularly rather than waiting for an email or SMS alert.
The Board has specifically advised all candidates to 'remain in touch with the Board's website for updated information' — treat this as a direct instruction, since counselling schedules can shift again.
Who this notice applies to
UGMAC-2026 covers admission to MBBS, BDS, B.V.Sc. & A.H. (veterinary), and B.F.Sc. (fisheries) seats in Bihar's government and private medical, dental, veterinary, and fisheries colleges, all filled through this one counselling process based on NEET(UG)-2026 scores. If you are an MBBS or BDS aspirant who has registered for Bihar's state-quota counselling and see your name in the Round 1 allotment list, this notice directly concerns you.
