Who Is Eligible for Bihar PGDAC 2026?
PGDAC 2026 is open to candidates who qualified NEET MDS 2026. Applicants must hold a valid BDS degree from a recognised institution. They must also complete the compulsory rotatory internship on time. Domicile of Bihar is required to claim state quota MDS seats. Only registered candidates are considered in the seat allotment.
How Does the PGDAC Counselling Process Work?
PGDAC follows an online choice filling and offline reporting model. Candidates register on the BCECEB portal after NEET MDS results. They fill college and course preferences in order of choice. Seats are allotted round-wise based on rank, category, and preference. Round 1 is followed by Round 2 and a mop-up round. Vacant seats from each round move to the next.

What Do the Opening and Closing Ranks Mean?

Candidates can use them to gauge allotment chances in later rounds. A lower closing rank signals higher demand for that course.
