Bihar NEET UG 2026 Round 1 — Big Numbers

The Round 1 seat matrix shows:

• 1,392 Bihar-quota Government MBBS seats after AIQ/Central Nominee deduction
• 30 Government BDS seats
• 2,450 Private MBBS seats
• 200 Private BDS seats

The released Round 1 allotment data contains approximately:

• 3,574 MBBS allotments
• 221 BDS allotments

This makes Round 1 extremely important for estimating Bihar NEET UG 2026 Round 2 admission chances.

Bihar Government MBBS Seat Analysis

Government MBBS seats available through Bihar UGMAC after deduction of AIQ/Central Nominee seats total 1,392.

Major colleges include:

• PMCH Patna
• IGIMS Patna
• NMCH Patna
• DMCH Laheriasarai
• JLNMCH Bhagalpur
• SKMCH Muzaffarpur
• ANMMCH Gaya
• GMC Bettiah
• BMIMS Pawapuri
• JKTMCH Madhepura
• GMC Purnea
• ESIC Medical College Bihta

Government MBBS Competition

Round 1 confirms that PMCH and IGIMS remain among the most competitive Bihar State counselling choices.

Examples from the released allotment/cutoff data:

Important: Compare your rank with the exact college + category + seat type. A single statewide “Bihar cutoff” cannot accurately predict every candidate's chances.

PMCH Patna Category-Wise Round 1 Cutoff

PMCH provides a useful picture of competition at the top end of Bihar Government MBBS counselling.

This also explains why students must not compare only their NEET AIR with the UR closing rank. Reservation and horizontal seat conditions materially change the effective allotment range.

Private MBBS — Much Wider Rank Range

Bihar's private MBBS pool is much larger.

The official matrix contains 2,450 Private MBBS seats, including:

• 1,831 UR/open private seats
• 225 Muslim Minority seats
• 60 Sikh Minority seats
• 334 NRI seats

This creates a very different admission range from Government MBBS.

Examples of Round 1 UR closing AIR:

• Katihar Medical College — around 1.51 lakh
• MGMMC Kishanganj — around 1.46 lakh
• NMCH Sasaram — around 2.82 lakh
• Lord Budha Koshi Medical College — around 3.36 lakh
• Shri Narayan Medical Institute — around 3.83 lakh
• RDJM Medical College — around 4.43 lakh
• Madhubani Medical College — around 4.47 lakh
• Netaji Subhas Medical College — around 4.96 lakh
• Himalaya Medical College — around 5.73 lakh
• Mahabodhi Medical College — around 7.03 lakh
• Buddha Hospital & Research Institute, Gaya — around 7.74 lakh

What Does This Mean?

Students outside the Government MBBS cutoff range can still have realistic Bihar MBBS opportunities if their budget and eligibility permit Private / Minority / NRI routes.

But rank alone is not enough.

Before choosing a private seat, compare:

• tuition fee
• hostel and other compulsory charges
• seat type
• minority eligibility
• NRI eligibility
• bond/undertaking
• total course cost

Bihar BDS Round 1 Cutoff

Government BDS at Patna Dental College remained substantially more competitive than most private BDS options.

Examples:

• Patna Dental College UR: AIR approximately 25,931–35,416
• Patna Dental College EWS: approximately 36,632–37,044
• Patna Dental College EBC: approximately 36,319–38,102
• Patna Dental College SC: approximately 1,54,815–1,79,172

Private BDS extended considerably deeper in Round 1, with some colleges reaching several lakh AIR.

Students considering BDS should compare Government vs Private fee and their MBBS Round 2 possibilities before making a final decision.

What If You Got a Government MBBS Seat?

If you received a preferred Government MBBS college, your immediate priority is document verification and admission from 27–31 August.

Do not miss the reporting process while waiting for Round 2 information.

What If You Got a Lower-Preference Government College?

Your Round 1 result is valuable.

Do not judge an upgrade only by NEET AIR.

Compare:

Your AIR → Current college/category cutoff → Higher preferred college Round 1 closing AIR → Expected vacancies after reporting

Candidates close to a higher-preference Round 1 closing rank can have meaningful upgrade possibilities, but actual Round 2 movement depends on vacancies.

What If You Got No Government MBBS Seat?

Round 1 cutoff gives your first reliable 2026 benchmark.

Practical interpretation

• Very close to Round 1 closing rank: Round 2 deserves serious attention.
• Moderately outside the cutoff: keep broader Government choices and evaluate movement.
• Far outside Government cutoff: do not depend only on Government MBBS; evaluate Private MBBS/BDS routes according to budget and eligibility.

There is no guaranteed Round 2 rank movement until BCECEB publishes the vacancy position.

What If You Got a Private MBBS Seat?

First verify the exact seat type.

Bihar private colleges contain different:

• Open/UR seats
• Minority seats
• NRI seats

The fee and eligibility can differ sharply.

Do not report merely because the college name says “MBBS”. Confirm the seat category + total financial commitment first.

Round 2 Chances — What Should Students Watch?

Round 2 movement will mainly depend on:

1. Candidates not reporting in Bihar Round 1
2. Candidates shifting to MCC/AIQ seats
3. Candidates moving to another State
4. Upgradation within Bihar
5. Vacancies created after resignation/non-admission
6. Revised seat availability, if officially notified

Therefore Round 1 closing rank is a benchmark, not a guaranteed Round 2 cutoff.

Hire Guide Education Advice

Do not compare your NEET rank with one generic Bihar cutoff.

For a realistic Round 2 assessment, compare the exact:

College + Course + Category + Seat Type + Round 1 Closing Rank

Government MBBS, Private MBBS, Minority, NRI and BDS are different admission routes and should be analysed separately.
