The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has released the provisional seat allotment for Round 1 of the Postgraduate Medical Admission Counselling (PGMAC) 2026 on November 6. Candidates who have been allotted seats for MD, MS, PG Diploma, or DNB programmes across government and private medical colleges in Bihar must now complete document verification and formal admission between November 10 and 12, 2026. Missing this tight three-day window will result in forfeiture of the allotted seat, which will then pass to the next counselling round. This is a critical juncture for allotted candidates to act quickly and ensure all paperwork and fees are in place.
Allotted candidates must report to their college and complete admission by November 12, 2026, or lose their seat permanently.

Critical Admission Dates: November 10–12 Window
The admission and document verification process is compressed into just three days: November 10, 11, and 12, 2026. This is not a flexible timeline. Candidates must physically report to their allotted college with original documents during this window to secure their seat. Any candidate who fails to report by the end of November 12 will have their allotment cancelled, and the seat will be offered to the next candidate in the merit list during Round 2.
Plan your travel and document gathering now. Ensure you have all required originals—your NEET PG scorecard, MBBS degree certificate, and any other documents specified by your college—ready before November 10. Delays in travel or document preparation could cost you your seat.

Understanding Counselling Fees and Security Deposits
All candidates allotted a seat must pay a non-refundable counselling fee of Rs 2,200 at the time of admission. In addition, you will be required to pay a refundable security deposit, the amount of which depends on the type of college (government or private) and your category (General/EWS or SC/ST/EBC/BC).

For government medical colleges, the security deposit is Rs 25,000 for General/EWS candidates and Rs 12,500 for SC/ST/EBC/BC candidates. If you have been allotted a seat at a private medical college, the security deposit is Rs 200,000 regardless of category. This deposit is refundable when you leave the college or complete your course, but it must be paid upfront during admission. Budget for both fees before your college reporting date.
- Non-refundable counselling fee: Rs 2,200 (all candidates)
- Government college security deposit (General/EWS): Rs 25,000
- Government college security deposit (SC/ST/EBC/BC): Rs 12,500
- Private college security deposit (all categories): Rs 200,000
- Security deposit is refundable upon course completion or withdrawal
| College Type | Category | Security Deposit (Rs) |

| Government Medical College | SC / ST / EBC / BC | 12,500 |
| Private Medical College | All Categories | 200,000 |
What Happens If You Miss the November 12 Deadline
The consequences of missing the admission window are severe and irreversible. If you do not report to your allotted college and complete document verification by the end of November 12, your seat will be automatically cancelled. You will not be given a second chance in Round 1, and your seat will be reallocated to the next eligible candidate on the merit list.
You may still have an opportunity to secure a seat in Round 2 if you remain unallotted or if your Round 1 seat is cancelled, but this is not guaranteed. Round 2 will have a fresh set of vacant seats and a new merit-based allocation process. To avoid this situation entirely, prioritize reporting to your college on time, even if you are still arranging funds or finalizing travel plans.
- Missed deadline = automatic seat cancellation
- No grace period or extension available
- Seat passes to next candidate in merit list
- You may apply in Round 2 if seats remain vacant
- Round 2 allocation is not guaranteed

Practical Checklist for Allotted Candidates
To ensure a smooth admission process, follow this step-by-step checklist. First, log in to the BCECEB portal immediately and download your allotment order. Print multiple copies and keep them safe. Next, gather all original documents: your NEET PG scorecard, MBBS degree certificate, mark sheets, and any other documents your college has specified in its admission guidelines.
Arrange the required fees and security deposit well in advance. If you are allotted a private college seat, ensure you have access to Rs 200,000 plus the Rs 2,200 counselling fee. For government colleges, the amounts are lower but still significant. Finally, plan your travel to the college and confirm the exact date and time of reporting. Contact your allotted college's admission office if you have any doubts about the process or required documents.

What to Expect During Document Verification and Admission
When you report to your allotted college during the November 10–12 window, the admission office will verify your original documents against the copies you submitted during counselling registration. They will check your NEET PG scorecard, MBBS degree, mark sheets, and any category certificates (if applicable). This verification typically takes a few hours, so plan to spend at least half a day at the college.
After verification, you will be asked to pay the counselling fee and security deposit. Once payment is confirmed, you will receive an admission receipt and be formally enrolled in your course. Some colleges may also conduct a brief orientation or provide information about the course schedule and hostel facilities. Keep all receipts and documents in a safe place, as you will need them for future reference and for your college records.

What Happens Next: Round 2 and Vacant Seats
