National Counselling Impact on State Schedule
BCECEB revised its counselling dates due to changes made by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). The MCC had adjusted its national NEET UG counselling timeline for MBBS and BDS admissions.
The MCC’s revision followed the addition of new MBBS seats, including those in ESIC Insured Medical Colleges. State counselling bodies then adapt their schedules to align with these national updates.
A key rule applies: candidates already allotted seats through MCC NEET UG 2025 counselling cannot participate in Bihar state counselling. This prevents multiple admissions and ensures fair opportunity for other students.
Available Seats for Round 3
A total of 624 MBBS and BDS seats are available for Bihar NEET UG 2025 Round 3 counselling. These include vacant seats from prior rounds and any newly added positions.
“Virtual vacancies” may also arise. These occur when previously allotted candidates upgrade their choices, freeing up their initial seats.
Specific institutions are contributing many seats. Mahabodhi Medical College, Gayaji, will fill 100 MBBS seats . Shyamlal Chandrashekhar Medical College, Khagaria, also has 100 MBBS seats available.
Patna Medical College has 19 MBBS seats vacant. These remained after Round 2 counselling and are now part of the Round 3 allocation.
Allotment and Document Verification Process
Seat allotment in Bihar NEET UG 2025 Round 3 considers multiple factors. These include a candidate’s Bihar MBBS state merit rank and their submitted college preferences.
Seat availability within specific categories and applicable reservation criteria also influence the final allocation decisions.
Mandatory document verification and admission will occur from October 21 to 24 . Candidates must report to their allotted colleges during this period.
Candidates must bring all original required documents for verification. Failure to present valid documents will result in the cancellation of the allotted seat. This step confirms eligibility for admission.
