Bihar NEET UG 2025 counselling postponed after Patna HC stays 50% govt fee order for private colleges
Bihar government decided to implement a uniform fee structure for all MBBS, BDS courses in the state.
Bihar NEET UG counselling 2025 has been paused until further notice. The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) had implemented a Health Department order that directed 50% of the seats in private medical colleges to have the same fee structure as government colleges. In response to petitions filed by private institutions, the Patna High Court has suspended the departmental order.
Until the Bihar board obtains new directions from the Health Department, the Under Graduate Medical Admission Counselling (UGMAC) will stand postponed. As per the BCECEB website, the rank cards for all registered candidates were to be published today at bceceboard.bihar.gov.in.
The state government had decided to introduce a uniform fee structure for medical and dental colleges in Bihar. Under the revised structure, students will have to pay a total amount of Rs 40,800 during admission to the MBBS programme in any state-run college. This decision aimed to encourage NEET UG students to participate in the Bihar counselling process.

The registration of medical and dental aspirants has already been done by BCECEB, along with the submission of application forms and choice-filling. If the fee structure is revised again by the authorities, candidates will be required to submit fresh preferences for the desired colleges and courses.
Bihar UGMAC 2025 is for admission to Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), and Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc and AH) courses. Candidates who have obtained scores in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Under Graduate (NEET UG 2025) are eligible to participate in the Bihar NEET counselling.
