Bihar NEET PG Counselling (BCECEB)
How the BCECEB fills Bihar's state-quota PG seats — the process, eligibility and documents.
Bihar's state-quota PG medical seats are filled by the Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB). It conducts the state's online counselling separately from the All-India MCC round, across government and private/state-quota colleges.
This guide covers who conducts Bihar counselling, which seats it fills, the domicile eligibility that governs a state seat, what the portal collects, and how the process runs.
Who conducts this counselling
The BCECEB is Bihar's entrance and counselling board for professional courses, including PG medical and dental. It publishes the brochure, verifies eligibility, runs the online rounds and declares allotments.
Bihar maintains an in-service quota for serving government doctors alongside the open state pool. The All India Quota portion of Bihar's government seats is handled by MCC.
What seats it fills
- State-quota PG seats in Bihar government medical colleges.
- The in-service quota reserved for serving government doctors.
- The state-quota share of PG seats in private colleges under the state's arrangement.
Who is eligible
A qualifying NEET PG rank is required, and a Bihar state seat additionally depends on Bihar domicile/residency as defined in the brochure. In-service candidates are considered under the service quota.
