Patna: The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has issued fresh notices dated 11 September 2026 for UGMAC-2026 Round 2, announcing a renewed schedule for online application and choice filling. The update is significant because BCECEB has also made available an updated seat matrix, indicating the addition of new medical colleges/seats for Round 2.
According to the notices listed under the Latest Updates/UGMAC-2026 notice board on the official website, eligible NEET UG 2026 candidates can begin the Round 2 process from 12 September 2026. Candidates are advised to rely on the latest September notices, as earlier timelines circulated in August are now effectively superseded by the revised Round 2 schedule.
What is new in Round 2 this time?
The key development is the appearance of new colleges in the Round 2 updated seat matrix, including:
• Shri Ram Janki Medical College & Hospital, Samastipur (Government)
• Government Medical College, Chhapra (Saran) (Government)
• Kurma Sanskriti Medical College & Hospital, Jehanabad (Private)
Separately reported approvals indicate that the two new government medical colleges have been permitted 50 MBBS seats each for the 2026–27 academic session. However, candidates should treat the BCECEB seat matrix as the final authority for the exact seat availability and category-wise distribution during counselling.
