​Mandatory Fees and Eligibility Requirements

​Understanding the financial and domicile requirements is essential before initiating the registration process. The counselling fee is non-refundable, while the security deposit is refundable, subject to specific rules.

  • ​PGMAC Counselling Fee and Security Deposit:
    • ​A non-refundable Registration/Counselling Fee of Rs.  2,200/- must be paid by candidates of all categories (UR/SC/ST/EBC/BC/EWS/DQ).
    • ​A refundable Security Deposit is mandatory and varies based on the type of college chosen: 
      • ​Only Government Colleges: Rs.  25,000/- (UR/EWS) or Rs.  12,500/- (SC/ST/EBC/BC).
      • ​Private Colleges Only or Both Government & Private: Rs.  2,00,000/- for all categories.
      • ​Note: The high security deposit for Private Colleges applies even if you are opting for a Management Quota seat.

    • ​Registration: Must have permanent or provisional registration with the Medical Council of India (MCI)/National Medical Commission (NMC) or a State Medical Council (SMC).

​ Document Checklist and Bond Clause Awareness

​Preparation for the document verification stage is as critical as the registration itself. Candidates must arrange their original certificates to avoid last-minute complications or rejection.

  • ​Essential Documents for Verification:

    • ​Caste/Category Certificate (if applicable) issued by the competent authority of Bihar.
    • ​No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the employer (for 'In-Service Doctor' candidates).
  • ​Understanding the Service Bond:
    • ​A significant guideline for PG medical admission in Bihar is the mandatory post-PG service bond, particularly for those taking a seat in a Government Medical College.
    • ​The bond often mandates a 3-year service period in a rural or difficult area of Bihar after completing the postgraduate course.
    • ​Failure to fulfill this service commitment can result in a hefty penalty, which may be up to Rs.  25  Lakh, as per the official prospectus. Candidates must read and understand the bond clause carefully before accepting a seat.

​Conclusion

​The Bihar PGMAC-2025 registration represents a crucial opportunity for postgraduate medical specialization. With the registration window rapidly closing on November 6, 2025, immediate, diligent action is required. Aspirants must ensure their application is flawless, all fees are paid, and choices are strategically locked on the official BCECEB portal.
