Bihar NEET Counselling 2026 Important Dates

Rounds 1 and 2 of UGMAC-2026 are over and Round 3 is running: its allotment result is scheduled for 14 October 2026, with document verification on 16 and 17 October. A stray vacancy round will follow; its dates are not out yet. UGMAC-2027 is expected around August 2027, after the NEET UG 2027 result.

What is UGMAC and which seats does it fill?

UGMAC (Under Graduate Medical Admission Counselling) is BCECEB’s online counselling for state seats in Bihar. There is no separate state exam: BCECEB prepares a UGMAC rank from your NEET UG 2026 All India Rank and allots seats on merit and choice.

The UGMAC-2026 prospectus lists 1,750 seats in 13 government medical and dental colleges, of which 1,422 are open to state counselling after central nominees, the All India Quota and the ESIC insured-persons quota. It also lists 2,450 seats in 14 private medical colleges. Two new government colleges and more private colleges joined from Round 2.

For All India Quota seats and AIIMS Patna, register separately in MCC NEET counselling. Candidates who have joined an AIQ seat cannot take part in UGMAC Round 3 or later rounds.

How to apply for Bihar NEET Counselling 2026?

You register on the UGMAC-2026 portal, pay the counselling fee and security deposit, and then fill and lock your choices. Fresh registration was opened before Rounds 2 and 3; the Round 3 window closed on 6 October 2026, and BCECEB has said no further registration will be allowed.

1. Open the UGMAC-2026 online portal, also linked as “Online Portal of UGMAC-2026” on the BCECEB website.
2. Register with your NEET UG 2026 roll number, name and date of birth. An OTP is sent to the mobile number and email you gave in the NEET UG form, and you create a password. Your UGMAC ID is then generated.

How do the UGMAC rounds work?

UGMAC-2026 has four online rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and a stray vacancy round.

• After an allotment, upload scanned originals for online verification by the allotted college, then download the provisional allotment order.
• Freeze means you accept the seat and visit the college for document verification and admission. Float means you keep the seat but want an upgrade in the next round.
• Round 1 had a free exit: you could leave a Round 1 seat without losing the security deposit and still take part in Round 2.
• After the Round 1 free exit window, resigning or surrendering an allotted seat forfeits the security deposit.
• If you get an MBBS or BDS seat in Round 3 and do not join, you lose the deposit and cannot take part in the stray vacancy round.
• If you get no seat in Round 3, you can join the stray vacancy round by giving consent on the portal.
• Candidates on MCC’s weeding-out list (joined an All India Quota seat) lose any UGMAC seat, with forfeiture of the deposit.

The Round 3 seat matrix of 30 September 2026 showed 679 vacant seats, of which 343 were NRI seats in private colleges. More vacancies can open as Round 2 candidates upgrade.
