Who Can Apply for Round 3
Only candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026 are eligible to participate in Round 3. You must also satisfy Bihar state domicile requirements and comply with reserved category rules set by BCECEB. If you belong to a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, EWS or differently abled), you must have the appropriate certificate issued by the competent authority.
If you did not receive a seat in Rounds 1 or 2, you can register fresh for Round 3. However, if you have already been allotted and joined a seat in an earlier round, you must first use the resignation and withdrawal window (October 1–2, 2026) to withdraw before you can participate again. Candidates who resign can then register afresh for Round 3.
Counselling Fee Based on Your Category
BCECEB has set a non-refundable counselling fee that varies by candidate category. This fee must be paid online during the registration stage using net banking, debit card, credit card or UPI. General (UR), Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Other Backward Class (OBC) and Extremely Backward Class (EBC) candidates pay Rs 1,200. Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and differently abled (DQ) candidates pay Rs 600.
In addition to the counselling fee, an extra security deposit applies if you choose a private college seat. The deposit amount varies depending on the type of private institution you select during choice filling. This deposit is separate from the counselling fee and will be collected at the time of admission.

After the provisional seat allotment result is declared on October 14, you will need to report for document verification on October 16 or 17, 2026. You must bring both original documents and self-attested photocopies of all required papers. Missing or incomplete documentation can result in loss of your allotted seat, so prepare these in advance and organize them carefully.

Why Round 3 Is Your Final Opportunity
Round 3 is the final seat allotment stage under Bihar UGMAC 2026. If you do not register and secure a seat in this round, you will lose your chance to obtain an MBBS or BDS seat under the state quota for this academic year. This is particularly important for candidates who did not receive seats in earlier rounds or who wish to upgrade to a better college or course.
The stakes are high because the allotment process is competitive and based on your NEET UG rank. Seats are limited, and once Round 3 concludes, no further allotments will be made under the state quota. Therefore, treating this deadline seriously and completing all steps on time is essential to securing your medical or dental education in Bihar.
