The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has revised the schedule for Bihar NEET UG Round 3 counselling. The rank card for Round 3 will now be released on October 19, 2025 . This change impacts candidates seeking undergraduate medical and dental admissions in Bihar.
BCECEB confirmed the delay in a notice on its official website, bceceboard.bihar.gov.in. The primary reason for the schedule revision is an extension of the time schedule for the third round by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).
Understanding NEET UG Counselling
NEET UG, or National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate, is the gateway for admissions to MBBS and BDS courses across India. State-level counselling, like Bihar NEET UG counselling, allocates seats in government and private medical and dental colleges based on NEET UG scores and state-specific criteria.
The counselling process involves several stages, including registration, choice filling, seat allotment, and document verification. Each round aims to fill available seats, with subsequent rounds accommodating candidates who did not secure a seat or wish to upgrade their choices.
Key Dates and Process Ahead
Following the release of the Round 3 rank card, candidates can expect the provisional allotment list. This list indicates the colleges provisionally allotted to candidates based on their rank and preferences. Students must then download their allotment order.
After downloading the allotment order, candidates must report to their assigned colleges. This reporting stage involves mandatory document verification and completion of admission formalities. Failure to report within the specified timeframe typically results in forfeiture of the allotted seat.
