Admissions to PG medical seats in Bihar are conducted by the **Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB)** based on NEET PG scores. The counseling is also known as Post Graduate Medical Admission Counseling (PGMAC).
Bihar is a **closed state** for government college seats, meaning only candidates with Bihar domicile are eligible for the 50% state quota. However, non-domicile candidates can apply for Management Quota seats in private colleges.
Visit BCECEB Official WebsiteTo participate in the Bihar state counseling, candidates must meet the following criteria:
Bihar has several historic government medical colleges. Seats are highly competitive and reserved for state domicile candidates.
Bihar has a few well-known private medical colleges that offer PG courses. These include minority institutions (Muslim & Sikh) and general management quota seats.
The fee structure in Bihar is regulated by the state authorities. *Fees are subject to change.*
| College Type | Quota | Approx. Annual Fee |
|---|---|---|
