Bihar DCECE 2025: Mop-Up Counselling Choice-Filling Deadline is Tomorrow

The Mop-Up Counselling for Bihar DCECE 2025 is now open. The last date for online application and choice-filling is August 8. Get the full schedule, eligibility criteria, and required documents.

The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has opened the Mop-Up Counselling for the DCECE 2025, offering a final opportunity for aspirants to secure a seat in Polytechnic Engineering (PE), Para-Medical (PM), and Para-Medical (PMM) courses. This crucial round, designed to fill vacant seats after the initial two allotment rounds, has a firm deadline for online choice-filling and willingness submission: August 8, 2025.

The Mop-Up Round is an offline counselling process, but the first and most critical step is the online registration and willingness submission. Candidates must log in to the official website, bceceboard.bihar.gov.in, to participate. Failing to complete this step by tomorrow's deadline will render a candidate ineligible for the entire Mop-Up Round.

Understanding the Mop-Up Counselling Process

The Mop-Up Round differs significantly from the online centralized counselling. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

1. Online Willingness-cum-Choice Filling: The process began on August 4 and concludes tomorrow. Eligible candidates must log in to the DCECE portal and submit their willingness to participate in the Mop-Up Round. They must also fill in their preferred colleges and branches in the order of their choice.
2. Merit List and Invitation: After the online application window closes, the BCECEB will publish a Mop-Up Merit List. This list will be used to call candidates for the physical counselling sessions.
3. Physical Counselling: This is a key feature of the Mop-Up Round. Candidates who are called must appear in person at the BCECEB office in Patna on their designated date and time, as mentioned in their downloaded invitation letter.
4. On-the-Spot Admission: During the physical counselling, seats will be allotted on an on-the-spot basis based on the candidate's merit rank and the availability of seats. The candidate must be present to accept the seat.
