PATNA – The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) on December 26 withdrew the second round seat allotment result for Bihar National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET PG) counselling 2025 . The Board cited an “error found in second round seat allotment result of PGMAC-2025” as the reason. This decision immediately halts the admission process for postgraduate medical courses in Bihar.
BCECEB has not provided a revised date for the corrected Round 2 seat allotment result. The Board also withheld clarification on rescheduling subsequent counselling activities. These include downloading allotment orders, document verification, and final admissions. Thousands of candidates awaiting admission to medical colleges across Bihar now lack clear timelines.
Result Withdrawal Confirmed
The BCECEB officially stated the withdrawal was “due to error found in second round seat allotment result of PGMAC-2025.” The board advised, “Concerned institutions and candidates are advised to keep in touch with board’s website for further information.” BCECEB provided no further explanation for the sudden halt. The Board has not disclosed the error’s nature or scope.
Understanding NEET PG Counselling
NEET PG is a national entrance examination for admission to postgraduate medical courses. These include MD/MS/PG Diploma programs across India. The Bihar NEET PG counselling, managed by BCECEB, allocates state quota seats in government medical colleges. It also covers seats in private medical colleges within Bihar. The counselling process involves multiple rounds.
Each round includes seat allocation based on candidate merit and preferences. This is followed by document verification and admission at the allotted institutions. Candidates register, submit college and specialty preferences, and await seat allotment. Once allotted, candidates download an allotment letter. They then report to the assigned college within a set period for document verification and fee payment. This multi-stage process ensures fair allocation of postgraduate medical seats.
Round 2 Schedule Suspended
Before the withdrawal, specific dates applied to the second round of Bihar NEET PG counselling 2025. Candidates allotted seats in Round 2 were scheduled to complete several steps. All these activities are now on hold. This suspension will remain until BCECEB releases a new schedule.
Original Round 2 Key Dates (Suspended)
| Activity | Original Dates |
|---|---|
| Download Allotment Orders | December 26 to December 29 |
| Document Verification and Admission | December 28 to December 29 |
The counselling framework dictates that Round 2 admissions can only proceed after the official publication of a corrected seat allotment result. Candidates will need to download their revised allotment orders. They must then report to their allocated institutions for document verification and to finalize admission procedures.
Candidate Directives
Candidates who participated in Bihar NEET PG Round 2 counselling must monitor the official BCECEB website. The website, bceceboard.bihar.gov.in , serves as the primary source for updates. The Board has not indicated when revised results will be published. It has also not announced new dates for the admission process.
Candidates cannot download allotment orders or proceed with document verification until further instructions. Institutions should also await official communication. Regular checks of the BCECEB portal are essential for affected candidates to stay informed about the next steps in their admission.
