The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has released the first round seat allotment result for DCECE[PMM]-2026 (Dresser positions) on 11 August 2026. This allotment covers paramedical Dresser seats across government medical colleges and civil surgeon offices in Bihar under the state quota. Candidates who registered for the DCECE[PMM]-2026 counselling can now check whether they have been allotted a seat, which institute they are assigned to, and under which category (UR, BC, EBC, SC, ST, EWS, or RCG). The allotment is based on merit rank, category rank, and the choices submitted during the choice-filling window. This is a critical step—if your name appears in the list, you must report to your allotted institute by the deadline to secure your seat.
Check the allotment list by your registration number to find your allotted Dresser seat, institute, and category; failure to report on time will result in forfeiture of the seat.

Unlock My College ListWhat is this allotment result?
This is the official first round seat allotment result for DCECE[PMM]-2026, released by BCECEB on 11 August 2026. DCECE stands for 'Diploma in Community Health and Epidemiology' or similar paramedical qualifications; PMM refers to the Paramedical Merit Merit counselling process. The allotment assigns Dresser (paramedical support staff) positions to candidates based on their merit rank, category rank, and the choices they filled during the choice-filling window.
The allotment covers seats across government medical colleges (PMCH Patna, JLNMCH Bhagalpur, DMCH Laheriasarai, NMCH Patna, SKMCH Muzaffarpur, ANMMCH Gaya, BMIMS Pawapuri, GMC Purnea, GMC Bettiah) and civil surgeon offices in various districts of Bihar. Each candidate has been assigned to one institute under one category (UR, BC, EBC, SC, ST, EWS, or RCG).
How to find your name in the allotment list
The allotment result is presented as a large table with columns for Registration Number (REG NO), Roll Number, Name, Gender, Category, UR Rank, Category Rank, RCG Rank, DQ Rank, Institute, Course (all listed as 'DRESSER'), Allotted Category, and Remark. To locate your allotment, search for your registration number in the REG NO column. The document contains 11 pages of results.
Once you find your registration number, read across the row to identify: (1) your allotted institute name, (2) the category under which you have been allotted (shown in the 'ALLOTTED CAT' column), and (3) the remark, which explains the type of allotment (e.g., 'Against UR seat', 'JUMP OVER ON BC seat', 'Compensation Seat BC Against UR'). If your name does not appear, you have not been allotted a seat in this round.
Understanding the allotment categories and remarks
The allotment result uses several category codes and remarks that determine your eligibility and seat type. UR = Unreserved (open to all); BC = Backward Class; EBC = Extremely Backward Class; SC = Scheduled Caste; ST = Scheduled Tribe; EWS = Economically Weaker Section; RCG = Rural Candidate Group; DQ = Differently Abled/Disability Quota. Your allotted category is shown in the 'ALLOTTED CAT' column.
The 'REMARK' column explains how you were allotted. 'Against UR seat' means you were allotted a general (unreserved) seat based on your merit rank. 'JUMP OVER ON [category] seat' means you were allotted a reserved seat for your category (e.g., BC, EBC, SC) because your merit rank was high enough to qualify for that category's reserved seats. 'Compensation Seat [category] Against UR' means you were allotted a compensation seat (an additional seat created to fill vacancies) under your category. 'Against DQ Category on [category] Seat' indicates allotment under the disability quota. Understanding your remark is important because it affects your reporting obligations and any subsequent round eligibility.
- UR = Unreserved (open merit)
- BC = Backward Class (reserved)
- EBC = Extremely Backward Class (reserved)
- SC = Scheduled Caste (reserved)
- ST = Scheduled Tribe (reserved)
- EWS = Economically Weaker Section (reserved)
- RCG = Rural Candidate Group (additional criterion)
- DQ = Differently Abled/Disability Quota (reserved)

What the rank columns mean
The allotment result shows four rank columns: UR RANK, CAT RANK, RCG RANK, and DQ RANK. UR RANK is your overall merit rank among all candidates (1 being the highest). CAT RANK is your rank within your specific category (e.g., if you are BC, this is your rank among all BC candidates). RCG RANK is your rank among rural candidates (if applicable). DQ RANK is your rank among candidates with disability (if applicable).
Your allotment is determined by the rank that applies to your category and the choices you submitted. For example, if you are allotted 'Against UR seat', your UR RANK was used. If allotted 'JUMP OVER ON BC seat', your BC RANK qualified you for a reserved BC seat. The ranks help you understand your position in the merit order and whether you are likely to be allotted in subsequent rounds if you do not report now.
Allotted institutes and locations
The allotment covers the following government medical colleges and civil surgeon offices in Bihar: P.M.C.H. Patna (Patna Medical College and Hospital), J.L.N.M.C.H. Bhagalpur (Jagjivan Ram Medical College and Hospital), D.M.C.H. Laheriasarai (Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital), N.M.C.H. Patna (Nalanda Medical College and Hospital), S.K.M.C.H.

Each institute has been allotted a certain number of Dresser seats under different categories. Your allotted institute is listed in the 'INSTITUTE' column. You must report to this institute on or before the deadline specified in the counselling schedule. Failure to report will result in forfeiture of your seat.
Important dates and reporting deadline
The allotment result was released on 11 August 2026. However, the document does not explicitly state the reporting deadline or the date by which you must join your allotted institute. You must check the official BCECEB website (bceceboard.bihar.gov.in) or the counselling notification for the exact reporting deadline. Typically, candidates are given 3–7 days from the allotment date to report; missing this deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your allotment and forfeiture of the seat.
If you have been allotted a seat, immediately verify the reporting deadline and prepare to report to your institute with all required documents (see below). Do not delay—reporting on time is mandatory to secure your seat.
Documents required for reporting
When you report to your allotted institute, you must carry the following original documents and copies: (1) NEET-PG admit card and score card, (2) MBBS degree certificate or provisional certificate, (3) medical registration certificate (from the state medical council), (4) category certificate (if applicable—SC, ST, BC, EBC, EWS, or RCG certificate issued by the competent authority), (5) disability certificate (if applicable, issued by the competent authority), (6) identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, passport, or driving license), (7) address proof (utility bill, rental agreement, or Aadhaar), (8) allotment letter (print the allotment result or carry the official letter if issued separately), and (9) any other document specified in the counselling notification.
Ensure all certificates are valid and issued by the competent authority. Category certificates must clearly state the category and sub-group (if any). Disability certificates must be recent and recognized by the government. Missing or invalid documents may result in rejection of your admission. Carry both originals and photocopies; the institute will verify originals and retain copies.

What happens if you do not report?
If you do not report to your allotted institute by the deadline, your allotment will be automatically cancelled, and your seat will be forfeited. You will not be eligible for any subsequent round of counselling for this seat. Your registration fee (if any) will not be refunded. This is a strict rule—there are no extensions or exceptions.
If you have a genuine emergency or medical reason for not reporting on time, contact the BCECEB office immediately with supporting documents. However, such requests are rarely granted. It is always safer to report on time, even if you are unsure about joining. You can always withdraw later if needed, but missing the deadline is irreversible.
Subsequent rounds and waiting list
This is the first round allotment. If seats remain vacant after the first round (due to candidates not reporting or withdrawing), BCECEB will conduct a second round, third round, and so on. Candidates who were not allotted in the first round, or who wish to upgrade their allotment, may participate in subsequent rounds. The schedule for subsequent rounds will be announced on the BCECEB website.
Some candidates may be placed on a waiting list if their rank is close to the cutoff. If a seat becomes available due to a candidate withdrawing or not reporting, waiting-listed candidates will be called for allotment in the next round. Check the BCECEB website regularly for updates on waiting lists and subsequent round schedules.
Common mistakes that lead to rejection or cancellation
Many candidates lose their allotted seats due to preventable mistakes. The most common are: (1) Not reporting by the deadline—this is the single largest cause of seat forfeiture. (2) Carrying invalid or expired category certificates—category certificates must be issued by the competent authority and must clearly state the category and sub-group. (3) Missing original documents—always carry originals; photocopies alone are not accepted for verification. (4) Incorrect or incomplete information on the allotment letter—if your name, registration number, or other details are wrong, contact BCECEB immediately to correct them before reporting. (5) Not verifying the allotted institute location—some candidates report to the wrong institute or wrong campus; always confirm the exact address and location before traveling.
Additionally, if you are allotted under a category (e.g., BC, EBC, SC) but your category certificate is invalid or does not match the allotted category, your admission will be cancelled. If you are allotted under RCG (rural candidate group) but cannot prove rural residence, your allotment may be cancelled. Always double-check your allotment details and documents before reporting.
- Not reporting by the deadline → automatic seat forfeiture
- Invalid or expired category certificate → admission cancellation
- Missing original documents → rejection at reporting
- Incorrect information on allotment letter → must correct before reporting
- Reporting to wrong institute or campus → admission may be cancelled
- Category certificate does not match allotted category → cancellation
- Cannot prove rural residence if allotted under RCG → cancellation

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
How do I find my allotment in this result?
Search for your registration number (REG NO) in the allotment list. Once you find it, read across the row to see your allotted institute, category, and remark. If your registration number does not appear, you have not been allotted a seat in this round.
What does 'JUMP OVER ON BC seat' or similar remarks mean?
'JUMP OVER ON [category] seat' means you were allotted a reserved seat for that category because your merit rank was high enough to qualify for it. For example, 'JUMP OVER ON BC seat' means you were allotted a Backward Class reserved seat based on your merit rank. This is a positive outcome and means you have secured a seat.
What is the difference between 'Against UR seat' and 'Compensation Seat'?
'Against UR seat' means you were allotted a regular unreserved seat based on your merit rank. 'Compensation Seat [category] Against UR' means you were allotted an additional seat created to fill vacancies, under your category. Both are valid allotments, but compensation seats are typically filled after regular seats.
What is the reporting deadline, and what happens if I miss it?
The allotment result was released on 11 August 2026, but the exact reporting deadline is not stated in this document. Check the BCECEB website or counselling notification for the deadline. If you miss it, your allotment will be automatically cancelled, and you will forfeit your seat with no refund. There are no extensions.
Which documents must I carry when I report to my allotted institute?
Carry originals and copies of: NEET-PG admit card and score card, MBBS degree certificate, medical registration certificate, category certificate (if applicable), disability certificate (if applicable), identity proof, address proof, and the allotment letter. All certificates must be valid and issued by the competent authority.
What if my name does not appear in the allotment list?
If your name is missing, you have not been allotted a seat in this round. Check that you registered correctly and that your registration number is correct. Contact BCECEB immediately to verify your registration status. You may be allotted in a subsequent round if seats become available.
Can I withdraw my allotment and participate in the next round?
Yes, you can withdraw your allotment, but you must do so before the reporting deadline and follow the official withdrawal procedure. If you withdraw, you may be eligible for subsequent rounds. However, do not miss the reporting deadline without formally withdrawing, as that will result in automatic cancellation and forfeiture.
What if my category certificate is invalid or expired?
If your category certificate is invalid, expired, or does not match your allotted category, your admission will be cancelled. Ensure your category certificate is valid, issued by the competent authority, and clearly states your category and sub-group. Obtain a fresh certificate if needed before reporting.
Will there be more rounds of allotment after this?
Yes, BCECEB will conduct subsequent rounds (second, third, etc.) if seats remain vacant. Candidates not allotted in the first round, or those wishing to upgrade, can participate in later rounds. The schedule for subsequent rounds will be announced on the BCECEB website.
What is RCG (Rural Candidate Group) and how does it affect my allotment?
RCG stands for Rural Candidate Group. If you are allotted under RCG, it means you have been allotted a seat reserved for rural candidates. You must be able to prove your rural residence with valid documents. If you cannot prove rural residence, your allotment may be cancelled.
What if there is an error in my allotment letter (wrong name, registration number, etc.)?
Contact BCECEB immediately to report the error and request a corrected allotment letter. Do not report to the institute until the error is resolved. Keep all correspondence with BCECEB for your records.
Can I request a different institute or category after allotment?
No, the allotment is final based on your merit rank and choices. You cannot request a change of institute or category after allotment. If you are unhappy with your allotment, you can withdraw and participate in subsequent rounds, but there is no guarantee of a better allotment.
If your name appears in this allotment list, congratulations—you have secured a Dresser seat. Immediately verify your allotted institute, confirm the reporting deadline from the BCECEB website, and gather all required documents. Report to your institute on time with originals and copies of all certificates; missing the deadline will result in automatic cancellation and forfeiture of your seat. If your name is missing or there is an error, contact BCECEB without delay. For candidates not allotted in this round, watch for announcements of subsequent rounds on bceceboard.bihar.gov.in.
