The stray vacancy round is the final stage of counselling for NEET UG 2026 admissions in Bihar. It fills seats that remain vacant after the main and subsequent counselling rounds across government and private medical, dental, and allied health institutions in the state. This round is critical because it represents the last formal opportunity for candidates to secure a seat this year.
The stray round covers MBBS, BDS, Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc and AH), Bachelor of Fisheries Science (BFSc), and AYUSH programmes (BAMS, BHMS, BUMS) offered by state institutions. Only candidates who registered for the stray round by October 24, 2026, are eligible to participate; fresh registrations are not accepted at this stage.

In addition to certificates and identity proofs, you will need your NEET UG 2026 scorecard and admit card, your UGMAC allotment letter and rank card, and proof of Bihar permanent residency if you are claiming a state quota seat. If you belong to a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, EWS) or have a disability, bring the relevant certificate as well. You must also carry the admission fee in the form specified by your allotted college—either a demand draft or ready for online payment.

What happens if you miss the October 31 deadline?
The consequences of missing the reporting deadline are permanent and irreversible. If you do not complete document verification and admission by October 31, 2026, your allotted seat will be cancelled automatically. You will have no recourse to claim it later, and no extension will be granted under any circumstances.
This is the final counselling round for the 2026 admission cycle. After October 31, BCECEB may issue a report on any remaining vacant seats, but these would typically be filled through spot admissions or other mechanisms outside the formal counselling process. For most candidates, missing this deadline means losing the opportunity to secure a medical seat in Bihar for this year.
Step-by-step action plan for allotted candidates
To ensure you do not lose your seat, follow this checklist immediately. First, download your allotment letter from bceceboard.bihar.gov.in and print two copies. Second, gather all original documents and prepare two self-attested photocopies of each. Third, arrange the admission fee in the format your college accepts.

Why eligibility was limited to pre-registered candidates
The stray round does not accept fresh registrations. Only candidates who registered for the stray round by October 24, 2026, are eligible to participate. This cutoff ensures that BCECEB has sufficient time to process registrations, generate allotments, and allow candidates to complete admission within the compressed three-day window.
If you did not register by October 24, you are not eligible for this stray round. However, you should monitor the official portal for any announcements regarding spot admissions or other late admission opportunities that may be announced after October 31.
