The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) released the Round 2 opening and closing ranks for Post Graduate Dental Admission Counselling (PGDAC) 2026 on September 29, 2026. This release followed the publication of the Round 2 seat allotment result on September 28, 2026, on the official BCECEB website, bceceboard.bihar.gov.in.

The PGDAC 2026 counselling process is for candidates seeking admission to Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) courses in various government and private dental colleges across Bihar. Qualified candidates from NEET-MDS 2026 were eligible to participate in this counselling, which covers institutions such as Patna Dental College (government), Mithila Minority Dental College & Hospital (private), and Buddha Institute of Dental Science & Hospital (private).

PGDAC 2026 Round 2 Schedule and Process

The entire Round 2 process, from choice filling to document verification, was conducted within a six-day window, from September 25 to September 30, 2026. Online choice filling for Round 2 commenced on September 25, 2026, with the deadline to lock choices set for 11:59 pm on the same day.

Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 had the option to resign for free (Free Exit) by September 24, 2026, to become eligible for Round 2. Those who did not secure a seat in Round 1 were automatically eligible for Round 2. The revised dates for PGDAC 2026 Round 2 were implemented following an extension by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for NEET (MDS) Round 2 at the national level.
