Bihar NEET PG 2025 Round 2 Counselling: Registration and Choice Filling Continue for Eligible PG Aspirants

The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has officially opened the window for Round 2 of the Post Graduate Medical Admission Counselling (PGMAC) 2025. This phase is vital for candidates seeking admission to MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses across government and private medical colleges in Bihar. With the publication of the updated seat matrix, eligible aspirants are now actively submitting their fresh preferences to secure a seat in the 50% state quota.

This round is particularly significant as it allows for fresh registrations from qualified candidates who missed the first round, as well as providing an upgradation opportunity for those already holding a seat from Round 1. The BCECEB has emphasized that the timeline for this round is extremely tight, requiring quick action from all participants.

Key Timeline and Choice Filling Essentials

Candidates must complete all online formalities, including the payment of the security deposit and choice locking, within the designated three-day window.
