Bihar DCECE 2025 Mop-Up Round Counselling: Choice-Filling Closes Today

The final day for Bihar DCECE 2025 Mop-Up counselling choice-filling is today, August 8. Learn about the complete schedule, important dates, and documents required for admission.

The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has officially announced that the online choice-filling for the Mop-Up Round of DCECE 2025 counselling will conclude today, August 8, 2025. This is a final and critical opportunity for thousands of polytechnic and paramedical aspirants to secure admission into various diploma courses in colleges across Bihar for the academic session 2025-26.

Candidates who have successfully registered their willingness to participate in this round must log in to the official portal, bceceboard.bihar.gov.in, before the end of the day to submit and lock their preferences for colleges and courses. Failure to do so will result in their choices being rendered null and void, and they will not be considered for seat allotment in this final phase.

The Final Pathway to Admission

The DCECE 2025 counselling process, which has already completed two rounds, is now in its concluding stage. The Mop-Up Round is specifically designed to fill the remaining vacant seats in various government and private institutions. This round provides a last-ditch effort for a wide range of candidates, including:

• Those who did not get a seat in the first two rounds of counselling.
• Candidates whose allotted seats were cancelled due to any reason.
• Aspirants who wish to upgrade their previously allotted seats.

The BCECEB has already published the seat matrix for the Mop-Up Round, detailing the number of vacancies in each college and branch. Aspirants are strongly advised to refer to this matrix while filling out their choices to make an informed decision and increase their chances of securing a seat.

Key Dates and the Mop-Up Counselling Process

The entire process, from registration to final admission, follows a stringent timeline. Here are the important dates to note:

• Choice-Filling & Locking: The window for submitting and locking choices, which began on August 4, 2025, closes today, August 8, 2025. Candidates must use their registered mobile number and email ID to receive an OTP to authenticate and lock their choices.
• Provisional Seat Allotment Result: The result for the Mop-Up Round will be published on August 14, 2025.
• Downloading Allotment Order: Candidates who are allotted a seat can download their allotment order from August 14 to August 17, 2025.
• Document Verification & Admission: This will be a final, in-person process that will take place at the designated reporting centres on August 16 and August 17, 2025. It is mandatory for all allotted candidates to attend this stage to finalize their admission.

Documents Required for Verification

All candidates must bring the following original documents, along with photocopies, for the physical verification process at the designated centres:
