FAQ - NEET UG

Ans: The merit list for Bihar NEET UG Counselling 2025 is prepared by BCECEB using the NEET 2025 scores shared by NTA. Students who have qualified in NEET and have chosen Bihar as their counselling option are included in this list. The merit list is sorted by rank and category wise reservation rules are applied. For example, General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS and PwD students all have separate rank lists. This helps in fair seat allocation and helps candidates know their exact position before the counselling begins.

Ans: At the document verification stage, students are required to carry both originals and photocopies of the following:

  • NEET 2025 Admit Card and Scorecard
  • Class 10th and 12th Marksheets and Certificates
  • Birth Certificate or 10th Certificate for Age Proof
  • Bihar Domicile Certificate
  • Class Certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EBC/EWS/PwD, as applicable)
  • Passport-size photograph (used in NEET application)

If even one document is missing or there is any discrepancy (like mismatch in name spelling), the application may be rejected. Hence it is important to double-check all the certificates before going to the centre.

Ans: Many students lose seats due to common mistakes like not locking their choices, ignoring document verification, or not paying counselling fee on time. To avoid this, candidates should:

  • Complete the registration by the given date.
  • Carefully fill and lock in their college choices.
  • Attend the document verification on the scheduled day.
  • Pay the counselling fee without delay.

By following these steps, students ensure that they remain eligible throughout the rounds and do not miss out due to technical or procedural errors.

Ans:

  • Round 1: New registration + choice filling. Students will get their first allotment.
  • Round 2: New choice filling only (no new registration). Vacant seats from Round 1 will be filled.
  • Mop-up Round: Remaining seats will be allotted after Round 2. Often includes vacant private college seats.
  • Stray Vacancy Round: Conducted only if there are seats vacant. Colleges directly call students under the supervision of BCECEB.

Each round gives another chance to secure a seat, but the number of available colleges/seats decreases as the round progresses.

Ans: Reservation plays an important role in seat allocation. Out of the total 85% state quota seats, the seats are allocated as per the reservation policy of Bihar. For example:

  • 40% seats are reserved for Extremely Backward Classes (EBC) and Backward Classes (BC) categories.
  • There is also a certain percentage for SC and ST candidates.
  • EWS candidates get their share from the unreserved category.

Due to this, a candidate with a slightly lower rank in NEET in the reserved category can get a seat in a government college, whereas a higher rank unreserved candidate cannot. Hence, students need to check the category-wise cutoff along with the general cutoff before deciding their choice.
