If you have received a seat allotment in Bihar's UGMAC 2026 Round 1 for MBBS or BDS, you now have until September 1, 2026 to complete your document verification and admission at your allotted college. The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has extended the original August 31 deadline by one day, giving candidates a final opportunity to report in person with their original documents. Missing this deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat, so it is critical to understand what documents you need and how to complete the process.
All UGMAC 2026 Round 1 allotted candidates must report in person at their allotted institute by September 1, 2026 with original documents and self-attested copies, or risk losing their MBBS or BDS seat.
What Changed: The One-Day Extension Explained
Document verification and admission for Round 1 began on August 27, 2026. The original deadline was August 31, 2026, but BCECEB has now extended it to September 1, 2026. This one-day extension was announced via official notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/04 on the board's portal at bceceboard.bihar.gov.in.
The extension gives allotted candidates a brief additional window to travel to their college, arrange documents, and complete the in-person verification process. However, this is not a major reprieve—you must still act immediately if you have not yet reported to your institute.
How Many MBBS and BDS Seats Are Available in Bihar Round 1?
Round 1 of UGMAC 2026 covers a combined total of 4,177 MBBS and BDS seats across government and private medical and dental colleges in Bihar. These are state-quota seats allocated through the counselling process. In addition to MBBS and BDS, Round 1 also includes seats in Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (B.V.Sc. and A.H.) and Bachelor of Fishery Science (B.F.Sc.), but the majority of allotments are for medical and dental courses.
Documents You Must Carry to Your Allotted College
Colleges will not admit you without complete documentation. You must bring both original documents and one set of self-attested photocopies. Here is the full checklist:
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard/rank card
- UGMAC 2026 application form printout (Parts A and B)
- Round 1 seat allotment letter
- Class 10 and Class 12 certificates and mark sheets
- Bihar residential or domicile certificate
- Aadhaar card
- Six passport-size photographs matching your NEET admit card
- Counselling fee payment receipt
- Transfer certificate and character certificate from your last institution
- Migration certificate if Class 12 was completed outside Bihar
- Gap year certificate or affidavit, if applicable
Step-by-Step: How to Complete Your Admission by September 1
The admission process must be completed in person at your allotted college. Online admission is not accepted at this stage. Follow these steps:
- Log in to bceceboard.bihar.gov.in using your UGMAC credentials.
- Download your Round 1 seat allotment letter.

- Collect your admission confirmation slip from the institute.
What Happens If You Miss the September 1 Deadline?
If you do not report to your allotted college by September 1, 2026, your seat will be forfeited. This means you will lose your allotment and will not be able to secure that seat in Round 1. You may be eligible to participate in Round 2 counselling if you wish to try for a different college or course, but there is no guarantee of another allotment. Missing the deadline is a permanent loss of your Round 1 seat.
