PATNA, BIHAR – The Bihar NEET PG 2025 (PGMAC) Round 3 counselling has been postponed. This delay follows the Medical Counselling Committee’s (MCC) deferment of the All India Quota (AIQ) Round 3 counselling process. The postponement also affects the resignation period for candidates admitted in Bihar PGMAC Round 1 and Round 2, which was originally scheduled for January 8, 2026 .
A notification from the Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) confirmed the decision. It stated that the delay in the AIQ Round 3 schedule and seat allotment results for NEET PG 2025 necessitated the rescheduling of Bihar’s state counselling process.
Impact on Candidates
Candidates who secured seats in the initial two rounds of Bihar PGMAC counselling now face an altered resignation timeline. The exact new dates for both the Round 3 counselling and the revised resignation window remain unannounced by BCECEB. Students must monitor the official website for updates.
Registration for Bihar PGMAC 2025 Round 3 has already concluded. The upcoming seat allotment will proceed based on choices submitted by registered candidates. This process considers declared preferences, state reservation policies, seat availability, and other established eligibility criteria.
Understanding the Counselling Process
Bihar PGMAC 2025 facilitates admissions to Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Surgery (MS), and PG Diploma courses within Bihar state medical colleges. Eligibility requires candidates to have qualified the NEET PG 2025 examination and meet specific Bihar domicile requirements. The counselling process manages seat allocation for these postgraduate medical programs.
The standard counselling procedure involves several stages. These typically include online registration, choice filling where candidates list their preferred colleges and courses, seat allotment based on merit and submitted preferences, and then reporting to the allotted institution. A designated resignation window allows candidates to withdraw from a secured seat under specific conditions without penalty.
Previous Allotments and Corrections
Earlier in the admission cycle, BCECEB revised the Bihar NEET PG Round 2 seat allotment list for 2025. This revision occurred after the provisional list was withdrawn due to identified errors in the initial allotments.
The corrected Round 2 allotment shortlisted 706 candidates . These candidates held NEET PG 2025 All India Ranks (AIR) ranging from 574 to 137690 . They were offered postgraduate medical seats in various institutions across Bihar during that round.
Next Steps for Aspirants
The Round 3 seat allotment results, once published, will be available in PDF format on the official BCECEB website. All counselling-related submissions and subsequent updates are managed through this portal. Candidates must regularly checkbceceboard.bihar.gov.infor the revised schedule and further instructions.
Further updates regarding the new dates for Bihar NEET PG 2025 Round 3 counselling and the revised resignation window are expected from the BCECEB shortly.
