The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has given allotted candidates one extra day to complete their admission formalities. The document verification and admission deadline for UGMAC 2026 Round 1 has been pushed from August 31 to September 1, 2026. This extension applies to all candidates who received a seat in the first round of counselling for MBBS, BDS, and other health science courses. If you have been allotted a seat, you must now report to your college in person by the new deadline with all required original documents—missing this date will result in loss of your seat.
If you received a Round 1 seat allotment in Bihar UGMAC 2026, you must complete in-person document verification and admission at your allotted institute by September 1, 2026, or your seat will be forfeited.
What Changed: The One-Day Extension Explained
The original deadline for Round 1 document verification and admission was August 31, 2026. BCECEB has now extended this by one day to September 1, 2026, through official notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/04. Document verification began on August 27, 2026, giving candidates a five-day window to complete the process. This extension provides a final opportunity for allotted candidates who may have faced last-minute delays in arranging documents or travel to their assigned college.
How Many MBBS and BDS Seats Are Available in Round 1?
Round 1 of UGMAC 2026 covers admission to state-quota seats across government and private medical and dental colleges in Bihar. A combined total of 4,177 MBBS and BDS seats are being allotted in this round. These seats are distributed across participating institutes in the state. Candidates allotted seats in other health science courses—such as Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (B.V.Sc. and A.H.) and Bachelor of Fishery Science (B.F.Sc.)—also fall under this same Round 1 process and deadline.
What Documents Must You Carry to Your College?
