BCECEB Cancels 49 Seats in NEET UG/UGMAC-2025 Round-1 Counselling

Patna: In the Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) and UGMAC-2025 admissions, authorities have cancelled the seat allotments of 49 candidates following discrepancies in reservation quota verification during Round-1 counselling.

Reservation Mismatch Detected

Out of 54 applications flagged for scrutiny, 49 candidates including 22 from the SC category were found to have mismatches in their reservation claims. Their previously allotted seats under reserved categories have been cancelled, and they will now be considered under the Unreserved category in subsequent counselling rounds.

The seats vacated in their respective reserved categories will be reassigned in Round-2 counselling on the basis of merit, rank, and choice filling.

SC/ST/EBC/BC Candidates Shifted to Unreserved Category

Authorities confirmed that all candidates whose seats have been cancelled will continue in the counselling process but under the Unreserved quota. This decision was taken to maintain fairness and transparency in the allotment system.

Counselling Fee and Security Deposit

Officials further clarified that affected candidates must re-login to the portal for Round-2 counselling and complete the required process, including:

• Payment of Counselling Fee + Security Deposit
• Submission of fresh online choices within the stipulated schedule
• Transaction of payments through valid online modes only

Candidates who do not submit their choices or fail to make the required payment will not be considered for allotment.

Refund Policy

Importantly, if a candidate chooses not to participate further in the counselling process, their Security Deposit will be refunded after the conclusion of the entire counselling procedure.
