Unlock My College ListWhat Was Released and When
On October 14, 2026, BCECEB published the provisional seat allotment result for Round 3, which includes the opening and closing ranks for each college, course, and category. These ranks determine which candidates have been assigned a seat and at which institution. The cutoff lists are now available on the official BCECEB portal at bceceboard.bihar.gov.in.
Round 3 is the third and typically the final state-level counselling round in Bihar before the mop-up phase. The seats offered in this round come from vacancies left over after Rounds 1 and 2—these include seats that were not filled, candidates who did not report, or seats that became available due to upgrades and resignations.
How Many Seats Were Available in Round 3
BCECEB released a total of 618 MBBS seats and 23 BDS seats for Round 3 across Bihar's government medical and dental colleges. These seats were distributed among eight major government medical colleges in the state, including Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH), Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH), Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JLNMCH), Anugrah Narayan Magadh Medical College (ANMMCH), Government Medical College Bettiah, and Government Medical College Chhapra.
Veterinary seats under the BVSc programme were also included in the Round 3 seat matrix. The seat pool was open only to candidates who had cleared NEET UG 2026 and met Bihar's domicile and category eligibility requirements.
Critical Dates You Must Know for Round 3
The Round 3 counselling process followed a compressed timeline. Registration and application opened on October 3 and closed on October 6, 2026. Candidates were required to fill and lock their college choices by October 9. The rank cards were published on October 8, giving aspirants one day to review their scores before finalising their preferences.

You must report to your allotted college on October 16 or 17 with all original documents and attested photocopies. The college will cross-check your documents against the information you provided during counselling registration.
Essential documents include your NEET UG 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets, caste certificate (if applicable), residence certificate proving Bihar domicile, and a valid photo ID such as an Aadhaar card, passport, or driving licence. You must also carry the printed allotment letter from the BCECEB portal and recent passport-size photographs (typically 4–6 copies). Organise all documents in a file or folder to avoid delays during verification.

What Happens After Document Verification
Once your documents are verified and accepted by the college, you will be asked to pay the admission fee at the college counter.

After payment, you will receive an admission confirmation and be enrolled as a student of that college for the MBBS or BDS programme.
Your admission is now confirmed, and you can proceed with hostel registration, course material collection, and other orientation activities as announced by the college. Keep all receipts and confirmation documents safely for future reference.
Why Round 3 Is Your Last Chance Under State Counselling
Round 3 is the final state-level counselling round before the mop-up phase begins. After October 17, if seats remain unfilled, BCECEB will announce a mop-up round with a separate schedule and process. However, mop-up rounds typically have fewer seats and are more competitive, as they include only the remaining vacancies.
For NEET aspirants targeting a government MBBS or BDS seat in Bihar, Round 3 is often the last realistic opportunity to secure a seat under the state quota system. If you have been allotted a seat in this round, it is strongly advisable to report for verification and complete your admission. Declining or missing the deadline may leave you with limited options in the mop-up round.
What to Watch After October 17
After the document verification window closes on October 17, monitor the BCECEB portal for announcements regarding the mop-up round. BCECEB will release the mop-up seat matrix and schedule, which will detail any remaining MBBS and BDS vacancies and the process to apply for them. Stray vacancy notices may also be published if seats become available due to last-minute cancellations or non-reporting.
If you were not allotted a seat in Round 3 or if you are still waiting for a better option, the mop-up round will be your next opportunity. However, prepare yourself mentally for the possibility that the number of available seats may be significantly lower, and competition may be fiercer.
