The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has announced a change in the release schedule of the Bihar NEET UG Counselling 2025 Round 3 rank card. The rank card, earlier scheduled for release on October 14, 2025, will now be made available on October 19, 2025. The decision has been taken in light of the extension of the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) schedule for All India Quota (AIQ) Round 3 counselling.
Reason for Postponement
According to BCECEB, the Bihar NEET UG Round 3 rank card 2025 has been delayed to align with the ongoing MCC Round 3 choice filling and locking process, which now extends until October 16, 2025. A statement on the official website reads: “Due to the extension of time schedule for Round 3 by MCC, Rank Card publication of UGMAC-2025 is delayed. Now the Rank Card will be published on 19.10.2025. Concerned students are advised to remain in touch with the Board's website.” This decision aims to ensure that candidates who are participating in both AIQ and state-level counselling do not face overlapping deadlines or logistical issues during the preference-filling process.
