Bihar NEET UG 2025 Counselling Resumes; Round 2 Schedule Announced, Free Exit Available

The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has resumed the NEET UG 2025 counselling process for MBBS and BDS admissions, after multiple delays. The board has also released the revised schedule for Round 2 counselling, while allowing a “free exit” option for candidates allotted seats in Round 1.
Candidates can access the updated schedule and official notifications on the counselling portal at bceceboard.bihar.gov.in.

Candidates who wish to opt out of Round 1 allotment can do so between September 2 and 3, 2025 (up to 4 PM) without losing their refundable security deposit.
