Who can apply
A candidate must have qualified NEET UG 2026 within the AYUSH cut-off and must satisfy Bihar’s domicile and residency conditions. Class 12 must have been cleared with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and anyone holding an earlier-round seat must have resigned it before registering. The candidate must also be at least 17 by December 31, 2026.
Fees and security deposit
The counselling fee is non-refundable, while the security deposit is refundable under the board’s rules. For government AYUSH colleges, the fee is Rs 1,200 for UR, EWS, BC and EBC candidates and Rs 600 for SC, ST and DQ candidates, with a security deposit of Rs 10,000. For private AYUSH colleges, the fee is Rs 1,200 for all categories and the security deposit is Rs 50,000. Choosing both means a Rs 1,200 fee with a Rs 50,000 deposit. Payment is made online through net banking, debit or credit card, or UPI.
How to register
On the BCECEB portal, candidates open the UGMAC AYUSH 2026 Round 3 link, register with their NEET UG 2026 roll number, fill in academic details, upload scanned documents, and pay the fee and deposit. Choices are then entered in order of preference and must be locked by November 4. Our guide to choosing a university in India explains how to weigh an institute’s record alongside its rank before locking preferences.
Documents for verification
Allotted candidates report on November 9 for verification and admission at the allotted college or verification centre, carrying the NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, residential certificate, caste certificate where applicable, Aadhaar card and recent passport-size photographs. Our admission documents checklist covers the same set in full. Missing the deadline means losing the seat.
Vacant seats left after Round 3 may move to a mop-up round, so candidates who miss out should keep watching the BCECEB portal after November 9.
