- The candidate should generally have completed 17 years of age on or before December 31, 2026.
- Any upper-age condition or relaxation will be governed by the prevailing NEET UG, National Medical Commission and counselling rules.

- The amount may differ by category, course and type of institution.
- Candidates should pay fees only through the payment gateway available on the official website and retain the receipt.
Selection Process
Admission through Bihar NEET UG counselling is expected to involve the following stages:
- NEET UG qualification and state ranking: Candidates must qualify NEET UG 2026 and obtain a valid Bihar state rank or counselling rank.
- Counselling and seat allotment: Eligible candidates register online, submit choices for colleges and courses, and receive allotment based on rank, category, seat availability and preferences.
- Document verification and admission: Allotted candidates report as instructed, complete document verification, pay the admission fee and fulfil the medical college’s joining requirements.
The release of a rank card does not by itself guarantee admission. A seat is confirmed only after allotment, successful verification and completion of admission formalities.
