🏛️Bihar NEET PG Counselling 2026 Overview
If you want MD, MS, PG Diploma or eligible DNB admission in Bihar through state counselling, the most important thing to understand is that BCECEB runs the Bihar PG medical admission process under PGMAC. NEET PG decides your eligibility and rank, but Bihar state registration, merit publication, choice filling, seat allotment and admission reporting are handled through the Bihar counselling system.
For 2026 planning, students should follow two layers together: the official NEET PG 2026 exam calendar from NBEMS and the last available Bihar PGMAC 2025 cycle documents from BCECEB. That is the safest way to plan right now, because the Bihar-specific 2026 counselling details were still awaited at the time of this update.
Use the Bihar 2025 official cycle as the best current process reference, and treat all 2026 dynamic items such as registration opening, round dates, seat matrix release and final fee confirmation as awaited until BCECEB publishes the live PGMAC 2026 documents.
| Item | What You Should Know |
|---|---|
| Main state authority | Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) |
| State counselling name | PGMAC — Bihar PG Medical Admission Counselling |
| Exam required | NEET PG qualification is mandatory for Bihar PG counselling participation |
| Seat coverage | Relevant Bihar state quota seats and participating private college seats under the PGMAC process |
| 2026 status | Bihar detailed notice awaited |
| Best current planning base | Last available official PGMAC-2025 notices, prospectus, seat matrix, cutoff PDFs and college fee sources |
- Handles all India quota and centralised national counselling routes

- Students must follow Bihar-specific rank card, choice filling and reporting notices
Share your NEET PG rank, preferred branch and budget. We will help you judge which Bihar private colleges are realistic for your profile.
🌐Official Authority, Website & Portals
Students should always track the official Bihar board website first. Bihar PG medical notices, rank-card notices, seat-matrix files, revised schedules, allotment PDFs and stray-vacancy instructions are released through BCECEB channels.
BCECEB, Bihar
Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board conducts Bihar PGMAC and publishes official admission notices, schedules, rank cards, seat matrix and allotment updates.
Track the notice board, PGMAC prospectus PDFs, counselling schedules, seat matrix files, revised notices and result documents here.
NBEMS for NEET PG 2026
NEET PG is the entrance examination. Bihar counselling starts only after NEET PG qualification and the state process opens.
Official contact support
The BCECEB notices also provide the official helpdesk email for candidate support. Keep a screenshot of key notices and fee receipts for safer record-keeping.
✅Eligibility, Domicile & Private College Rule
The broad eligibility logic stays familiar across Bihar PG medical counselling: NEET PG qualification, MBBS completion, internship completion and valid registration are the foundation. But students should separate government state quota eligibility from private-college eligibility, because they are not always identical in practice.
| Eligibility Item | Student-Friendly Meaning |
|---|---|
| NEET PG qualification | You must qualify NEET PG for the relevant admission cycle |
| MBBS degree | You should hold the required MBBS qualification from a recognised institution as per the prospectus conditions |
| Internship completion | Internship completion by the notified cut-off date is essential |
| Medical registration | Keep your permanent or provisional registration certificate ready |
| Bihar domicile / state quota relevance | Domicile matters strongly for Bihar government state quota seats |
| Private-college route | Private-college participation is broader than the strict Bihar government state quota path, but the live prospectus still controls the exact 2026 eligibility |
| Reserved / in-service / DQ candidates | Only claim category benefits if your documents match the live Bihar rules and certificate format |
If you are targeting Bihar government state quota, domicile is a major checkpoint. If you are targeting Bihar private colleges, keep a wider planning mindset, but still follow the live PGMAC 2026 prospectus carefully for private, minority and NRI seat conditions.
- Do not assume that an old “everyone is eligible” line from an old blog page is enough for 2026 planning.
- Check whether you are applying under open, reserved, minority, NRI or other special documentation categories before you lock choices.
- If you have Bihar category claims but studied outside Bihar or have a gap-year or service certificate issue, verify early rather than during reporting week.
🪑Seat Types, Rounds & Counselling Flow
Bihar PGMAC documents from the latest official cycle show a counselling structure that moved through Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and an online stray-vacancy stage. For students, the practical meaning is simple: your opportunity does not end after the first allotment, especially in the private-college pool where movement can continue in later rounds.
Government and state-linked seats
These are the seats where Bihar-specific eligibility and state rules matter the most. Students should not mix this route with AIQ or private-college assumptions.
Separate fee and deposit planning
The private-college pool needs stronger budget planning because the security deposit and college fee burden are much higher than government routes.
Even if your preferred branch looks tight in the first round, later round movement can improve your options. That is why students should track every revised notice, rank card, vacancy file and stray list carefully.
📅Important Dates & Last Available Schedule
For 2026 students, the correct way to read the schedule is this: NEET PG 2026 exam timing comes from NBEMS, while Bihar counselling timing comes later from BCECEB. Where the 2026 Bihar process is not yet live, the table below uses the last available official Bihar schedule as a reference.
| Event | Date / Window | Status |
|---|---|---|
| NEET PG 2026 exam | 30 August 2026 | Tentative official NBEMS schedule |
| NEET PG 2026 internship cut-off | 30 September 2026 | Tentative official NBEMS schedule |
| Bihar PGMAC 2026 detailed notice | Awaited | 2026 update awaited |
| Last available Round 1 registration-cum-choice filling | 31 October 2025 to 06 November 2025 | Official 2025 |
| Last available Round 2 free exit / resignation | 19 December 2025 to 20 December 2025 | Official 2025 |
| Last available Round 2 rank card publication | 21 December 2025 | Official 2025 |
| Last available Round 2 allotment result | 24 December 2025 | Official 2025 |
| Last available Round 2 admission window | 26 December 2025 to 28 December 2025 | Official 2025 |
| Latest round activity before stray | January to February 2026 | Last available Bihar cycle |
| Seat matrix after Round 3 for stray-vacancy planning | 23 February 2026 | Official 2025-26 cycle |
💰Counselling Fee, Security Deposit & Fee Layers
This is where many students get confused. Bihar NEET PG private admission involves at least three different money layers: the counselling fee, the security deposit, and the actual college fee. These are not the same thing.
| Fee Layer | Last Available Amount | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Counselling fee | ₹2,200 | Last available official PGMAC counselling fee; verify 2026 live prospectus before payment |
| Government college security deposit | ₹25,000 for UR/EWS; ₹12,500 for SC/ST/EBC/BC | Category-linked government deposit from the last available official prospectus |
| Private college security deposit | ₹2,00,000 | Last available official private-college security deposit; this is the big amount private-college applicants should plan for |
| Tuition / hostel / refundable college money | College and branch specific | The actual first-year payable amount can vary heavily by college and specialty |
For Bihar private colleges, your realistic admission budget is not only the tuition fee. You should plan for counselling fee, security deposit, first-year tuition, hostel or mess, college-specific refundable amount and reporting-time payment conditions.
🏥Private Colleges in Bihar PGMAC
The last available official Round 1 notice for Bihar PGMAC prominently listed the following private medical colleges for the state counselling process. Students should still verify the live round-wise seat matrix, because a later-round file can show additional movement or institute entries in the vacancy documents.
Katihar Medical College (KMC)
A major private option in Bihar with wide branch availability. Official fee and cutoff documents show strong competition in General Medicine and Radiodiagnosis.
Mata Gujri Memorial Medical College & LSK Hospital (MGMMC)
A large private-college option in the Bihar pool. The official seat matrix showed one of the bigger private totals in the last available cycle.
Narayan Medical College & Hospital
A recognised Bihar private option with multiple clinical branches visible in official 2025 opening and closing rank files.
Madhubani Medical College
A useful private-college option for students planning beyond the topmost private branches, especially if they remain active through later rounds.
Netaji Subhas Medical College & Hospital
Bihta-based private option with official fee and hostel detail visibility. Radiodiagnosis and General Medicine remained competitive in the last available cutoff documents.
Lord Budha Koshi Medical College & Hospital
Official 2025-26 college fee details were visible for multiple branches. General Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics and Orthopaedics all appeared in official Bihar cutoff documents.
📊Private Seat Matrix Snapshot
Official Bihar PGMAC 2025 private seat-matrix files showed college-wise and specialty-wise breakup across open, minority and NRI-linked seats. Here is a practical student snapshot using the last available official private-college totals that were clearly visible.
| Private College | Last Available Official Seat Snapshot | Student Note |
|---|---|---|
| Katihar Medical College, Katihar | 81 total seats | Wide branch spread; strong demand in Medicine, Radiodiagnosis and clinical branches |
| MGMMC & LSK Hospital, Kishanganj | 101 total seats | One of the bigger private pools in the last available cycle |
| Narayan Medical College & Hospital, Sasaram | 119 total seats | Important private option with notable branch spread |
| Madhubani Medical College, Madhubani | 65 total seats | Useful for students tracking later-round movement too |
| Netaji Subhas Medical College & Hospital, Bihta | 50 total seats | Smaller than some peers but still important for premium branches |
| Lord Budha Koshi Medical College & Hospital, Saharsa | See live official matrix for full branch-wise total | Official 2025 matrix clearly listed branch-wise seats; always check the exact round PDF before choice filling |
Do not look only at the college total. What matters more is branch count, minority or NRI breakup, later-round vacancy creation, and whether the exact specialty you want keeps moving after Round 1.
🏷️Private College Fee Snapshot
Branch fee in Bihar private PG medical colleges varies sharply. The table below uses last available official college fee sources and is meant as a planning snapshot, not as a final 2026 payable commitment.
| College / Branch | Tuition | Other Major Components | Approx. First-Year Payable |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMC Katihar — MD General Medicine | ₹34.50 lakh | Hostel ₹3.00 lakh + amenities ₹0.50 lakh + refundable security ₹3.00 lakh | ₹41.00 lakh |
| KMC Katihar — MD Radiodiagnosis | ₹60.00 lakh | Hostel ₹3.00 lakh + amenities ₹0.50 lakh + refundable security ₹3.00 lakh | ₹66.50 lakh |
| KMC Katihar — MD Pathology | ₹7.50 lakh | Hostel ₹3.00 lakh + amenities ₹0.50 lakh + refundable security ₹3.00 lakh | ₹14.00 lakh |
| Lord Budha Koshi, Saharsa — MD General Medicine | ₹25.50 lakh | Hostel & mess ₹4.00 lakh + refundable security ₹3.00 lakh | ₹32.50 lakh |
| Lord Budha Koshi, Saharsa — MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology | ₹33.00 lakh | Hostel & mess ₹4.00 lakh + refundable security ₹3.00 lakh | ₹40.00 lakh |
| Lord Budha Koshi, Saharsa — MS Orthopaedics | ₹21.50 lakh | Hostel & mess ₹4.00 lakh + refundable security ₹3.00 lakh | ₹28.50 lakh |
Official college sources also showed additional fee detail for other colleges in the Bihar private pool. For example, Netaji Subhas Medical College & Hospital published hostel, mess, refundable security and stipend-related information on its official PG admissions page, while BCECEB-linked fee sources were visible for MGMMC and Narayan Medical College as well.
📉Last Available Cutoff Trend for Private Colleges
The safest way to use Bihar private cutoff for 2026 is to read it as last available 2025 official trend data. Final 2026 cutoff will change by round, branch, category, minority seat, NRI seat and seat movement. The table below uses official Round 1 private-college closing-rank references for common UR seats.
| College | Branch | Last Available 2025 UR Closing Rank | How to Read It |
|---|---|---|---|
| MGMMC Kishanganj | MD General Medicine | 32200 | Higher-demand branch; one of the stronger private-closing trends |
| Netaji Subhas, Bihta | MD Radiodiagnosis | 32907 | Very competitive even within the private-college pool |
| Lord Budha Koshi, Saharsa | MD General Medicine | 34382 | Strong demand remained visible in the last available cycle |
| MGMMC Kishanganj | MD Radiodiagnosis | 38701 | Premium branch; usually not a late easy option |
| KMC Katihar | MD General Medicine | 40677 | Still competitive among Bihar private colleges |
| Netaji Subhas, Bihta | MD General Medicine | 41494 | Useful benchmark for upper mid private-rank planning |
| Madhubani Medical College | MD General Medicine | 41793 | Can help students compare realistic medicine options |
| Lord Budha Koshi, Saharsa | MD Paediatrics | 49432 | Paediatrics stayed active but still demanded a decent rank |
| Narayan Medical College, Sasaram | MD Radiodiagnosis | 48352 | Shows that radio remained premium across colleges |
| Narayan Medical College, Sasaram | MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology | 63229 | Important for students targeting OBG in the private pool |
| KMC Katihar | MD Anaesthesiology | 67169 | Broader access compared with premium specialties |
| Narayan Medical College, Sasaram | MD Pathology | 124209 | Shows how non-clinical branch movement can widen in private colleges |
Official opening and closing rank files also showed minority and NRI category movement in selected private colleges. Example trends in the last available cycle included KMC Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Orthopaedics moving at much higher ranks in minority and NRI-linked seats than regular UR closings.
🧭Counselling Process Step by Step
Bihar PGMAC counselling is not difficult if you understand the order of the steps. Most mistakes happen because students wait until choice filling to start document work or fee planning.
- Qualify NEET PG and track Bihar notice release
Do not start from rumours. Start from NEET PG qualification and wait for the BCECEB PGMAC notice or prospectus. - Register online and fill the form correctly
Use your NEET PG details, personal information and category claims carefully. Wrong data creates trouble later during rank-card or document verification stages. - Upload documents and pay the counselling fee
Keep scanned files ready in the correct format. Save the payment confirmation and application printout. - Download rank card / merit position when published
Choice filling starts only after the relevant Bihar merit or rank-card publication step for that round. - Fill and lock choices wisely
Do not choose randomly. Arrange colleges and branches according to realistic rank range, budget and willingness to join. - Check seat allotment and download allotment letter
If allotted, read the admission and reporting instructions immediately. Bihar deadlines are often short. - Report with documents and payment readiness
Carry originals, required certificates and enough financial preparation for the payable college amount and any deposit-linked requirements. - Track later rounds if you want upgradation or missed a seat
Round 2, Round 3 and stray vacancy can all matter in Bihar private-college planning.
🗂️Documents Required
Always follow the live prospectus for the final list, but these are the major documents students typically keep ready for Bihar PG medical counselling.
📌Merit List, Choice Filling, Free Exit & Stray Rules
This is the part that decides whether a good NEET PG rank actually converts into a useful seat. Bihar PGMAC publishes the rank card or merit list, then opens choice filling, then releases allotment results round by round.
Merit first, choices second
Students can fill choices only after the relevant Bihar rank-card or merit publication step. Order of choice matters because allotment depends on both rank and preference order.
Check each round notice carefully
The latest Bihar cycle clearly showed separate resignation or free-exit timing in Round 2. Never assume the same rule will apply unchanged in every round.
Eligibility can narrow sharply
The Bihar stray-vacancy notice excluded already admitted or already allotted candidates under multiple prior routes. Read the stray eligibility note line by line.
Private-college category treatment can differ
The last available Bihar private-college notices also contained specific clarifications for reserved-category candidates who had filled UR/EWS in relation to private medical college admission. Do not oversimplify this.
They fill only dream branches and ignore safe backups. In private-college counselling, a good strategy usually includes at least one ambitious branch, a realistic middle set and one budget-linked safety set.
🎯Rank-Wise Strategy for 2026
This section is not an official allotment promise. It is a student planning guide for 2026 based on the last available 2025 official private-college opening and closing rank trend plus the usual later-round movement pattern.
| Approximate Rank Zone | How Students Usually Plan | Smart Use of the Data |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 35k | Students may still stay in play for stronger private-clinical options in selected colleges | Use medicine and radiodiagnosis trends carefully; do not assume every college behaves the same |
| 35k to 50k | Private-clinical branches like Medicine, Radio, Ophthalmology, Paediatrics and OBG become the main comparison zone | Compare college fee against branch value before locking choices |
| 50k to 75k | General Surgery, Anaesthesiology, Ophthalmology, OBG and Paediatrics move across multiple private options | Keep later-round movement in mind instead of judging only Round 1 |
| 75k to 1.2 lakh | Orthopaedics, Pathology and several non-clinical or later-moving branches can widen the pool | Budget and category strategy become very important here |
| Above 1.2 lakh | Students usually need flexible branch planning and close round-wise tracking | Non-clinical branches, minority or NRI-linked seats and late-round vacancy movement become more relevant |
Build your list in three layers: premium branch targets, realistic rank-based options and one budget-safe backup set. This makes your Bihar counselling decisions much faster and less emotional.
