This round covers state quota MBBS and BDS seats across government medical colleges in Bihar. If you qualified NEET UG 2026 and registered for UGMAC counselling, you now need to check your allotment, download your letter, and prepare for college reporting. Missing the reporting deadline or failing to carry required documents can result in loss of your seat.
Download your Round 2 allotment letter immediately from bceceboard.bihar.gov.in, verify your college and course assignment, and report to your allotted college before the official deadline with all original documents and certificates.
What Happened: Round 2 Cutoff and Allotment Released
On 25 September 2026, BCECEB published the Round 2 cutoff scores and seat allotment results for UGMAC 2026 on bceceboard.bihar.gov.in. The cutoff data shows the opening and closing NEET UG all-India ranks for each medical and dental college across different categories. This is the second round of seat allocation after Round 1, and it includes both fresh candidates who registered for counselling and those seeking an upgrade from their Round 1 allotment.
The Round 2 allotment covers MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, and BUMS courses at state quota seats in Bihar government colleges. Candidates who completed their choice-filling within the prescribed window and meet the eligibility criteria are now assigned seats based on their NEET rank, category, and college preferences.
Understanding the Cutoff Ranks: How Your NEET Score Determines Your College
The cutoff list shows two key numbers for each college and course: the opening rank and the closing rank. The opening rank is the best (lowest) NEET all-India rank that received a seat at that college in Round 2. The closing rank is the worst (highest) NEET rank that was allotted a seat. If your NEET rank falls between these two numbers and you had listed that college in your choices, you are likely to have received an allotment.
For example, at P.M.C. Patna, the opening rank for MBBS was 3,606 and the closing rank was 6,670. This means candidates with NEET ranks from 3,606 to 6,670 (in the relevant category) who chose P.M.C. Patna were considered for allotment. At I.G.I.M.S. Patna, the opening rank was 1,158 and closing rank was 8,137, indicating a wider range of ranks were accommodated. Colleges with identical opening and closing ranks (such as G.M.C. Purnea and G.M.C. Bettiah) had only one seat available in that round.
| College | Opening Rank | Closing Rank | Seats Filled (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| I.G.I.M.S. Patna | 1,158 | 8,137 | Multiple |
| P.M.C. Patna | 3,606 | 6,670 | Multiple |
| N.M.C. Patna | 7,281 | 9,814 | Multiple |
| D.M.C. Laheriasarai | 8,987 | 11,701 | Multiple |
| S.K.M.C. Muzaffarpur | 10,720 | 12,856 | Multiple |
| J.L.N.M.C. Bhagalpur | 11,851 | 13,257 | Multiple |
| B.M.I.M.S. Pawapuri, Nalanda | 11,264 | 13,619 | Multiple |
| G.M.C. Purnea | 13,439 | 13,439 | One |
| G.M.C. Bettiah | 11,360 | 11,360 | One |
Who Is Eligible for Round 2 Allotment and What It Means for You
Round 2 allotment includes two groups of candidates: those registering for UGMAC counselling for the first time (fresh registrants) and those who participated in Round 1 but are seeking an upgrade to a better college or course. To be eligible, you must have registered for UGMAC 2026, qualified NEET UG 2026 with a valid all-India rank, and completed your choice-filling within the official window.
Candidates who joined a college in Round 1 and locked their seat are not included in the fresh Round 2 list. However, if you were allotted a seat in Round 1 but did not lock it, or if you chose to participate in Round 2 for an upgrade, you remain eligible. If you receive an upgrade in Round 2, your Round 1 seat is automatically cancelled, and you must report to your new allotted college instead.
How to Check Your Allotment and Download Your Letter
To access your Round 2 allotment result, visit the BCECEB official portal at bceceboard.bihar.gov.in. Log in using your UGMAC registration number and password. Navigate to the Round 2 seat allotment result tab and verify the college, course, and category assigned to you. Once you confirm the details are correct, download your allotment letter and print a clear copy. This letter is mandatory at the time of college reporting and must be carried in original form.
The cutoff PDF is also available on the homepage for reference. You can download it to cross-check your rank against the closing ranks of your allotted college. Keep both your allotment letter and the cutoff PDF saved on your device and in printed form for your records.

Essential Documents You Must Carry to College Reporting
College reporting is a critical step. Failure to report on time or with incomplete documents can lead to cancellation of your allotted seat. BCECEB requires you to bring both original documents and self-attested photocopies of each. Prepare these documents well in advance so you do not miss the reporting deadline.
The mandatory documents include your UGMAC 2026 Round 2 seat allotment letter, NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and pass certificates, proof of date of birth (such as a birth certificate), and a valid photo identity card (Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID). You must also carry a Bihar domicile certificate, as this is a state quota seat. If you belong to a reserved category (SC, ST, EBC, BC, or EWS), bring your category certificate. Finally, carry recent passport-size photographs and a character certificate from your school or college.

What Happens If You Received an Upgrade or Did Not Get an Allotment
If you were allotted a seat in Round 1 and have now received an upgrade in Round 2 to a better college or course, your Round 1 seat is automatically cancelled. You must report to your new allotted college before the Round 2 reporting deadline. Do not attempt to report to your Round 1 college, as your seat there no longer exists. Your new allotment letter will specify the college, course, and category for Round 2.
If you were allotted a seat in Round 1 but did not receive an upgrade in Round 2, your Round 1 seat remains valid. You can choose to report to your Round 1 college or, if you wish to exit the counselling process, follow the withdrawal rules published by BCECEB. Withdrawing now may affect your eligibility for future rounds, so read the withdrawal guidelines carefully before deciding.
Why Round 2 Is Critical: Limited Choices Ahead
Round 2 is the last full-choice round for state quota medical and dental seats in Bihar. After this round, any remaining vacant seats move to the mop-up (stray vacancy) round, where your flexibility in choosing colleges and courses is significantly reduced. In the mop-up round, you cannot always choose your preferred college or course; instead, you are allotted based on availability and your rank.
This means if you do not secure a seat in Round 2 or if you choose to withdraw, your options in subsequent rounds become limited. Therefore, it is essential to report on time in Round 2 if you have received an allotment. Missing the reporting deadline will result in loss of your seat, and you will have to wait for the mop-up round with fewer choices available.
Timeline and Next Steps: What to Do Now
Your immediate action items are: (1) Log in to the BCECEB portal and download your Round 2 allotment letter without delay. (2) Verify that your allotted college, course, and category are correct. (3) Gather all original documents and arrange self-attested photocopies. (4) Confirm the admission fee amount and payment method with your allotted college. (5) Plan your travel to the college and note the exact reporting date and time from your allotment letter.
After Round 2 reporting closes, BCECEB will announce the mop-up round schedule and publish the vacant seat matrix. If you do not secure a seat in Round 2 or if you choose to participate in the mop-up round, monitor the official portal for updates. The mop-up round typically has a shorter choice-filling window and fewer seats, so staying informed is crucial.

How do I know if I received a seat in Bihar UGMAC 2026 Round 2?
Log in to bceceboard.bihar.gov.in using your UGMAC registration number and password. Navigate to the Round 2 seat allotment result tab. If your name appears with a college, course, and category assignment, you have received an allotment. You can also cross-check your NEET rank against the opening and closing ranks in the cutoff PDF to confirm eligibility.
What is the difference between opening rank and closing rank in the cutoff list?
The opening rank is the best (lowest) NEET all-India rank that received a seat at a particular college in Round 2. The closing rank is the worst (highest) NEET rank that was allotted a seat. If your rank falls between these two numbers and you had listed that college in your choices, you were eligible for allotment at that college.
If I received an upgrade in Round 2, what happens to my Round 1 seat?
Your Round 1 seat is automatically cancelled when you receive an upgrade in Round 2. You must report to your new allotted college in Round 2, not to your Round 1 college. Your new allotment letter will specify the correct college and course for Round 2.
What documents must I carry when reporting to my allotted college?
You must carry your UGMAC allotment letter, NEET admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and pass certificates, date of birth proof, valid photo ID, Bihar domicile certificate, category certificate (if applicable), passport-size photographs, and a character certificate. All documents must be in original form with self-attested photocopies. Missing any document can result in cancellation of your seat.
What happens if I miss the Round 2 reporting deadline?
If you do not report to your allotted college before the official deadline, your seat will be cancelled. You will then have to wait for the mop-up round, where your choices are limited and fewer seats are available. It is critical to report on time to secure your admission.
Is Round 2 the last round for state quota medical seats in Bihar?
Round 2 is the last full-choice round. After Round 2, remaining vacant seats move to the mop-up round, where you have limited flexibility in choosing colleges and courses. Therefore, if you have received an allotment in Round 2, it is advisable to report and secure your seat rather than wait for the mop-up round.
Can I withdraw from Round 2 if I do not like my allotment?
Yes, you can withdraw, but this may affect your eligibility for future rounds. Before withdrawing, carefully read the withdrawal guidelines published by BCECEB. Withdrawing now means you will have to participate in the mop-up round with fewer college and course options available.
When will the mop-up round be announced?
BCECEB is expected to release the mop-up round schedule and vacant seat matrix after Round 2 reporting closes. Monitor the official portal bceceboard.bihar.gov.in for announcements. The mop-up round typically has a shorter choice-filling window and fewer available seats.
Download your allotment letter immediately and verify all details. Gather your documents now and confirm the reporting date with your college to avoid missing the deadline. After Round 2 closes, watch the BCECEB portal for mop-up round updates if you do not secure a seat in this round.
