Getting help
Our Patna centre helps Bihar students understand rounds, choose colleges and branches, and prepare documents, in Hindi or English.
Engineering vs medical counselling timelines
UGEAC usually begins after JEE Main results, while UGMAC follows NEET results and often runs alongside MCC rounds. If you are eligible for both national and state counselling, track all schedules closely. Decide in advance how you will respond if you get a state seat in an early round and an all-India option later, keeping in mind rules on seat acceptance and withdrawal.
Tips
- Keep JEE Main or NEET documents and Bihar domicile certificate ready.
- Fill choices wisely using previous rounds.
- Watch BCECEB notices regularly.
