Unlock My College ListWhat is the Bihar NEET 2026 stray round?
The stray round is the final phase of Bihar NEET counselling, conducted after the main three rounds of seat allotment. It is designed to fill any remaining vacant seats in MBBS and BDS colleges across Bihar. This round gives candidates who were not allotted seats in earlier rounds, or those who wish to upgrade their college or course choice, one last chance to secure admission.
The stray round operates on the same principle as earlier rounds: seats are allotted based on your NEET merit rank, your choice preferences, seat availability, and reservation criteria. However, the number of available seats is typically smaller, as most seats are already filled by the time the stray round begins.
Key dates for stray round reporting and document verification
Timing is critical in the stray round. The allotment results were released on October 28, 2026. You have until October 31, 2026 to download your provisional seat allotment order from the official BCECEB website (bceceboard.bihar.gov.in). This document is your proof of allotment and must be carried to your college.
Once you have your allotment letter, you must report to your assigned college between October 29 and October 31, 2026. This is a tight three-day window. Reporting means physically visiting the college, submitting your documents for verification, and completing the admission formalities. If you fail to report within this period, your seat may be cancelled and offered to another candidate.
- Allotment letter download window: October 28–31, 2026
- College reporting window: October 29–31, 2026
- Reporting is mandatory to confirm your admission
Documents you must carry for reporting and verification
Document verification is a non-negotiable step. The college will cross-check your original documents against your application and allotment letter. Missing or incorrect documents can lead to rejection of your candidature, even after allotment. Prepare all documents well in advance and carry originals, not photocopies, unless specifically instructed otherwise.

Total seats available in Bihar MBBS and BDS colleges
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
Bihar offers a total of 2,565 MBBS seats and 243 BDS seats across government and private medical and dental colleges. These seats are distributed across multiple colleges in cities like Patna, Bhagalpur, Katihar, Sasaram, and others. The stray round fills only the remaining vacant seats after the main three rounds, so the number available in this round is typically much smaller.
Seats are reserved for candidates from Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Extremely Backward Class (EBC), Backward Class (BC), and Reserved Category Girls (RCG) categories, as per Bihar's reservation policy.
- Total MBBS seats: 2,565
- Total BDS seats: 243
- SC reservation: 16%
- ST reservation: 1%
- EBC reservation: 18%
- BC reservation: 12%
- RCG (Reserved Category Girls) reservation: 3%
What if you don't report within the deadline?
If you do not report to your assigned college by October 31, 2026, your seat will be automatically cancelled. The college will then offer that seat to the next eligible candidate on the waiting list. You will lose your opportunity to study MBBS or BDS in Bihar through this counselling cycle. There is no grace period or extension for reporting.
If you have a genuine emergency (medical, family, etc.) that prevents you from reporting on time, contact the BCECEB office immediately to request an extension, though such requests are rarely granted. It is far safer to plan your travel and reporting well in advance.
- Non-reporting results in automatic seat cancellation
- Your seat will be offered to the next candidate
- No extension or grace period is typically granted
- Contact BCECEB only in genuine emergencies
