Aspirants must note the extremely short duration of this window, which opened on November 17 and closes tomorrow, November 20, 2025.
Registration and Choice Locking Deadline
The BCECEB has set a stringent and non-negotiable deadline for all participation formalities. Candidates must ensure they complete all three steps—registration, payment, and choice filling—by the official cut-off:
| Particulars | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Online Registration | November 20, 2025 |
| Payment of Security Deposit | November 20, 2025 |
| Choice Filling and Locking | November 20, 2025 (11:59 PM) |
| Seat Allotment Result Date | November 25, 2025 |
The entire process is conducted online through the BCECEB's official portal. It is highly advised that candidates, particularly those who have not registered in previous rounds, complete the registration and payment process immediately. The choice-filling step is equally critical, as only locked choices will be considered for the final seat allotment.
Eligibility and Purpose of the Round
The Stray Vacancy Round is governed by strict rules designed to eliminate seat wastage and prioritize genuinely unallotted candidates:
- Eligibility: Only candidates who have qualified the NEET-UG 2025 examination and are eligible for Bihar State Counselling can register.
- Exclusion Rule: Candidates who have already been allotted and have joined a seat (MBBS/BDS) in any previous round (either All India Quota or State Quota) are ineligible. The goal is to provide a final chance to those who are currently without any medical or dental seat.
- Seat Pool: The remaining seats often include those in Private Medical and Dental Colleges, particularly under the Management and NRI Quotas, as well as any residual seats from the Government quota due to non-reporting in earlier rounds.
Aspirants must check the officially released seat matrix by the BCECEB to ascertain the exact number and category-wise distribution of the available MBBS and BDS vacancies before submitting their preferences.
This final stage of counselling is crucial for aspiring doctors seeking admission this year. Candidates must ensure they are fully compliant with all eligibility and document requirements to avoid last-minute disqualification.
