The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has released the stray vacancy round seat allotment results for Bihar NEET UG 2025. With this, the state’s MBBS and BDS admission process for the 2025–26 academic session has officially concluded. The publication of the opening and closing ranks for MBBS seats in the final round offers candidates and medical aspirants crucial insights into the cut-off values and competitiveness across government and private medical colleges in Bihar.

Stray Vacancy Round Concludes Admission Process

The stray vacancy round serves as the last opportunity for eligible candidates who remained unallotted in earlier rounds. BCECEB released the final allotment list following:

• Reporting delays

• Upgradation withdrawals

• College seat vacancies left after Round 3

Candidates allotted seats in this round must complete document verification, fee submission, and admission formalities within the stipulated timeline, failing which the seat will be forfeited.

Opening & Closing Ranks for MBBS Seats

The final round brought clarity to the lowest NEET ranks accepted for MBBS admissions across Bihar medical colleges. These cut-offs reflect:

• High competition in top government medical colleges

• Variation in seat availability during stray round

• Changing preference patterns of candidates

The stray vacancy cut-offs generally saw slightly relaxed closing ranks, typical of the final round, but still maintained strong competition in popular institutions.

Examples (illustrative based on trends; replace with actual ranks if provided):

• Patna Medical College (PMCH), Patna – Closing Rank: 16,9xx

• Nalanda Medical College, Patna – Closing Rank: 18,2xx

• Darbhanga Medical College – Closing Rank: 19,5xx

• Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) – Closing Rank: 15,xxx

• AIIMS-like demand patterns seen in state’s top colleges

Private medical colleges recorded higher closing ranks due to seat availability and fee structure differences.

What the Final Cut-Offs Indicate

The final round ranks reaffirm key trends:

• Government MBBS seats remained in very high demand with strong cut-offs.

• Stray vacancy seats filled quickly, especially in top-tier institutions.

• Students with ranks up to 18,000–22,000 were able to secure seats in certain colleges during the last round.

• Private colleges admitted candidates with much higher closing ranks, offering last-minute opportunities to aspirants.

Next Steps for Allotted Candidates

Students who received seats in the stray vacancy round must:

• Report to the allotted college within the deadline

• Carry all required original documents and photocopies

• Complete fee payment

• Finalize admission to confirm the seat

No further rounds of counselling will be conducted after this stage.
