What Happens Next?
After the application process closes, the following steps are important for admission:
Rank Card Publication
The Bihar NEET UG 2025 Stray Vacancy Round Rank Card will be published on December 16, 2025 . This card displays the student's rank, which is a key factor in the seat allotment process. Students should download and keep their rank card safely for future steps.
Seat Allotment Result
The provisional seat allotment result for this round will be announced on December 18, 2025 . This result will show which college and course a student has been assigned based on their rank and the choices they submitted. Students who receive a seat must download their allotment order between December 18 and December 20, 2025 .
Document Verification and Admission
The final step for securing admission is document verification and completing the admission process. Students who have been allotted a seat must report to their assigned college for document verification between December 19 and December 20, 2025 . During this period, the college will check all original documents to ensure they are correct and valid. After successful verification, students can finalize their admission by paying the required fees.
It is crucial for students to bring all necessary original documents, such as their NEET UG admit card, rank card, class 10 and 12 mark sheets, caste certificate (if applicable), and a valid identity proof. Not having the correct documents can lead to the cancellation of their admission.
The BCECEB advises all candidates to regularly check its official website for any new updates or important announcements about the counselling process. This practice ensures students do not miss any critical information or deadline.
