The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has opened Round 2 registration and choice filling for MBBS, BDS, and other health-science courses across Bihar. If you qualified NEET UG 2026 and are a Bihar domicile candidate, or if you missed Round 1, this is your opportunity to secure a medical or dental seat. Registration closes on September 15, 2026, so time is tight. Understanding the timeline, fee structure, and document requirements is essential to avoid disqualification.
Register for Bihar UGMAC Round 2 by September 15, 2026 at bceceboard.bihar.gov.in; lock your college and course choices by September 18 to be eligible for seat allotment on September 22.

Once you register, you must fill and lock your college and course preferences by September 18, 2026. The rank card for Round 2 will be released on September 17, giving you one day to review your rank before finalizing choices.

Who Can Apply for Round 2?
You are eligible for Round 2 if you appeared and qualified in NEET UG 2026. If you are a Bihar domicile candidate seeking a state-quota medical or dental seat, you must have a valid Bihar domicile or residence certificate. Fresh candidates who did not participate in Round 1 can now apply.
If you were already allotted a seat in Round 1, you have two options: you can try to upgrade to a better college or course, or you can retain your existing seat. If you choose to exit the process, you must follow the free exit rule as notified by BCECEB. Do not assume you can re-enter later without penalty.

Documents You Must Upload During Registration

The documents required include your NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates, Bihar domicile or residence certificate (if applicable), category certificate (if you belong to a reserved category), a recent passport-size photograph, a scanned signature, and an Aadhaar card or valid photo identity proof. Ensure all scans are clear and legible.

Step-by-Step Registration Process
The registration process is straightforward if you follow each step carefully. Start by visiting the official BCECEB portal at bceceboard.bihar.gov.in and locate the UGMAC 2026 Round 2 registration link. Log in using your UGMAC application number and password—these are the same credentials you used for Round 1 or your initial NEET UG registration.
Once logged in, fill in your personal details, academic information, and NEET UG 2026 scores. Then pay the applicable registration fee through the online payment gateway. After payment, proceed to fill your college and course choices in your order of preference. Review your choices carefully before locking them, as previously filled choices from Round 1 will not carry forward. Finally, submit the form and save a copy for your records.

New Colleges and Expanded Seats in Round 2
BCECEB has added three new medical colleges to the Round 2 seat matrix, and extra seats have been included at some private medical colleges. This expansion means more options are available compared to Round 1. Before you lock your choices, review the updated seat matrix carefully on the official portal to understand which colleges and courses are available.
This is particularly important because your Round 1 choices will not automatically carry forward to Round 2. You must re-enter your preferences based on the new seat matrix. Take time to research the new colleges, their location, infrastructure, and reputation before finalizing your choices.
- Three new medical colleges added to Round 2
- Extra seats at some private medical colleges
- Updated seat matrix available on bceceboard.bihar.gov.in
- Round 1 choices do not carry forward—re-enter preferences
What Happens After You Lock Your Choices?
After you lock your choices by September 18, your work is largely done until the allotment result. BCECEB will process all applications and generate the provisional seat allotment on September 22, 2026. On that date, you can log in to the portal and download your allotment order, which will specify the college, course, and seat category you have been allotted.
If you are allotted a seat, you will need to report to the college with your original documents for verification and admission formalities. If you are not allotted a seat in Round 2, BCECEB may conduct further rounds (mop-up or special rounds) depending on the number of vacant seats. Stay updated on the official portal for any announcements.

Why Round 2 Matters for NEET UG Aspirants
Round 2 is a critical opportunity for NEET UG candidates who did not secure a seat in Round 1 or who wish to upgrade. With new colleges and expanded seats, your chances of getting a medical or dental seat improve. However, the tight timeline means you must act quickly and decisively.
For candidates who were allotted seats in Round 1, Round 2 offers a chance to move to a better college or course without losing your existing seat (as long as you follow the upgrade/retention rules). This flexibility is valuable, but it requires careful planning and understanding of the counselling process.
- Fresh opportunity for candidates who missed Round 1
- Chance to upgrade for Round 1 allottees
- Expanded seat matrix with new colleges
- Tight timeline requires immediate action
