Candidates provisionally allotted seats in Round 1 of Bihar NEET PG counselling 2025 for MD and MS programs must decide on their admission status by December 20 . The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has activated an online ‘free exit’ facility. This provision allows candidates to resign their allotted Round 1 seats without incurring penalties. It enables them to participate in subsequent counselling rounds or explore other options. This ‘free exit’ window is critical for managing seat allocations ahead of Round 2.
Understanding the Seat Resignation Process
The facility for Round 1 seat resignation is exclusively available online. Candidates must visit the official BCECEB website,bceceboard.bihar.gov.in, to access the dedicated resignation link. This digital process ensures transparency and efficiency in managing candidate withdrawals. No physical or offline applications for seat resignation will be accepted under any circumstances. Candidates choosing to resign their Round 1 seat before the deadline of December 20 will then be eligible to participate in the Bihar NEET PG 2025 Round 2 counselling without penalty.
Bihar NEET PG 2025 Round 2 Schedule and Key Dates
Following the conclusion of the Round 1 resignation window, BCECEB will proceed with the next phase of the counselling process. The revised schedule for Bihar NEET PG 2025 Round 2 outlines several crucial dates:
| Event | Date | Description |

| Rank Card Publication | December 21 | Candidates will view their updated ranks, which determine eligibility for Round 2 seat allotment. |

Bihar NEET PG 2025 Mandatory Bond Policy
All candidates who secure admission through Bihar NEET PG counselling are subject to a mandatory bond policy. This policy requires a commitment to serve the state government after completing their postgraduate medical studies. Non-compliance with the bond terms results in significant financial penalties, ensuring a commitment to public healthcare service within Bihar.
Bond Policy Scenarios:
- Scenario 1: Resignation After Counselling or Failure to Serve: If a candidate leaves their allotted seat after the official counselling process has concluded, or if they fail to complete the mandatory 3-year service period under the state government, they are obligated to pay a lump sum of Rs 15 lakh . Additionally, they must return all stipends received during their postgraduate training. This clause applies to candidates who accept a seat but later withdraw or do not fulfill the service agreement.
- Scenario 2: Inability to Provide Full Service: In cases where candidates accept a seat and commence service but are subsequently unable to complete the full 3-year service term with the state government, a higher penalty applies. Such candidates must pay a lump sum of Rs 25 lakh . They also forfeit and must return any stipend amount received during their period of study or service. This increased penalty emphasizes the state’s requirement for a complete service commitment from its medical graduates.
Candidates are strongly advised to review the full details of the Bihar NEET PG 2025 bond policy on the BCECEB website before making final decisions regarding seat acceptance or resignation. Adherence to these guidelines is crucial for all participants in the counselling process.
