The revised Round 2 matrix contained 1,445 seats across the notified UGMAC courses.

 

Candidates should use the latest BCECEB seat matrix applicable to the counselling round instead of relying on the older Round 1 matrix.

 

Government Medical Colleges MBBS Seats

The Bihar UGMAC seat matrix includes government medical colleges offering MBBS seats. The actual number of seats available in a particular counselling round can differ from the total approved intake because of category, quota and vacancy considerations.

Note: The Round 2 updated matrix included newly added/updated private medical college seats. Candidates should refer to the BCECEB Round 2 matrix for the exact category-wise vacancy rather than treating the annual approved intake as the number of seats available in Round 2.

 

Bihar NEET UG 2026 Counselling Registration Fee

Candidates must pay the applicable UGMAC registration/counselling fee during application. The fee should be checked against the current BCECEB UGMAC fee structure.

CategoryRegistration Fee

Note: Candidates should verify the fee displayed on the official UGMAC portal before payment because registration/application charges and other admission-related payments are separate.

 

Bihar NEET UG 2026 Counselling Choice Filling Tips

  • Check the latest seat matrix before filling choices.
  • Compare your NEET rank with college-wise closing ranks.
  • Check the applicable category and quota.
  • Arrange colleges in actual preference order.
  • Include realistic alternatives.
  • Review government and private college options separately.
  • Check course availability before locking choices.

Bihar NEET UG Round 2 MBBS Cutoff 2026

The Bihar NEET UG Round 2 MBBS cutoff is available as opening and closing ranks for government and private medical colleges. The closing rank represents the last allotted candidate's rank for a particular college, category and quota in Round 2.
