Bihar NEET Round 2 revised seat matrix
BCECEB has released the revised UGMAC seat matrix for Round 2 on its official website. [VERIFY] — reporting indicates new colleges have been added to the updated matrix; confirm the exact number and names of newly added colleges against the official PDF before publishing specifics, since this detail was not independently verified from primary source material.
Candidates should download and review the seat matrix PDF before filling or editing their choices, as seat availability may differ from what was shown during Round 1.
Who should register or participate in Round 2
Round 2 is open to two groups of candidates:
- Those who did not secure a seat in Round 1 and are registering or applying fresh.
- Those already allotted a seat in Round 1 who wish to participate for seat upgradation.
Candidates already registered for UGMAC 2026 do not need to register again; they can log in and proceed directly to consent, choice editing or locking as applicable to their status.
