NEET UG 2026 stray round seat allotment released for Bihar: report by October 29

The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) released the stray round seat allotment results for NEET UG 2026 medical and dental admissions on October 27, 2026. Candidates who participated in the Undergraduate Medical Admission Counselling (UGMAC) 2026 stray vacancy round can now download their provisional seat allotment letters.

This round is the final phase of NEET UG counselling in Bihar and serves as the last opportunity for aspirants to secure an MBBS or BDS seat in colleges across the state. The stray round is designed to fill any remaining vacant seats in MBBS and BDS programmes after the main and special rounds of seat allocation, offering a final chance for candidates who did not secure a seat in earlier rounds or wish to upgrade.

Key Dates for UGMAC 2026 Stray Round

The BCECEB has set a strict two-day window for candidates to complete the necessary admission formalities. The provisional seat allotment letters have been available since October 27, 2026, and candidates must download them by today, October 29, 2026. Following this, reporting to the assigned colleges for document verification and admission confirmation is scheduled for October 28 and October 29, 2026.

Missing the reporting deadline will result in the forfeiture of the allotted seat. Participation in the stray round was voluntary for candidates who registered for UGMAC 2026 and met the eligibility criteria. Allotment in this round is based on merit rank, the availability of vacant seats, and the candidate’s choice of college and course. Once allotted, the seat is final, and candidates must complete admission formalities immediately.

Required Documents for Admission

Candidates reporting to their assigned colleges for admission must bring a thorough set of documents for verification. This is non-negotiable to have both original documents and photocopies ready to avoid any delays in the admission process. The BCECEB, which conducts examinations for admission to various professional courses in Engineering, Medical, and Agriculture colleges under the Government of Bihar, has outlined the specific documents required.

The necessary documents include the NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, the Bihar UGMAC 2026 rank card, and the provisional seat allotment letter. Also, candidates must present their Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates, Bihar domicile/residential certificate (if applicable), and caste/category certificate (if applicable). A valid government-issued photo identity proof and passport-size photographs are also mandatory.

Next Steps for Allotted Candidates

Candidates who have been allotted a seat in the UGMAC 2026 stray round must act promptly to secure their admission. The provisional seat allotment letter is available for download on the official BCECEB website, bceceboard.bihar.gov.in, until October 29, 2026. Following the download, candidates must report to their assigned college for document verification and admission within the stipulated timeframe of October 28 to October 29, 2026.

To ensure a smooth admission process, candidates are advised to prepare a complete set of original documents and their respective photocopies before reporting to the college. This final round concludes the NEET UG counselling process for medical and dental admissions in Bihar for the 2026 academic year.
