What is Bihar NEET UG Round 2 Counselling and Who Should Apply?
The Bihar NEET UG counselling process, managed by BCECEB, allocates seats in government and private medical, dental, veterinary, and fisheries colleges across the state. Round 2 is the second phase of seat allotment, designed for candidates who either did not participate in Round 1, were not allotted a seat, or wish to upgrade their college or course choice.
This round covers admission to MBBS, BDS, Bachelor of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry (B.V.Sc. & A.H.), and Bachelor of Fishery Science (B.F.Sc.) programmes. If you have a valid NEET UG score and meet the eligibility criteria, you are eligible to register for Round 2.

This gives you a one-hour window between payment closure and registration closure.

This addition was announced on September 17, 2026, and an updated seat matrix reflecting this new college has been uploaded to the official website.

Important Reminders and Common Mistakes to Avoid

When filling your choices, list colleges and courses in order of your genuine preference. Your rank and the number of available seats will determine your allotment, but your choice order matters. Do not leave choices blank if you are interested in additional options.
