Reserved Category Candidates Must Report as per UR Merit

BCECEB has specifically instructed reserved category candidates who competed in the Unreserved category to report for counselling according to their Unreserved category merit serial. Such candidates will have the option to select seats available under both the Unreserved and their respective reserved categories.

The Board has clarified that reserved category candidates included in the UR merit list must appear at their scheduled UR counselling time. If they fail to appear, the reserved category seat available at their merit serial may be opted for and allotted to a candidate with a lower merit rank. Seats in the UR category that are blocked due to such jump-over will be opened only on the day of counselling for the respective reserved category.

Documents Required for PGPAC 2026 Counselling

Candidates appearing for counselling must carry the original certificates and documents, wherever applicable. The required documents include the GPAT Score Card, PGPAC-2026 Rank Card, Matriculation/Equivalent Examination Passing Certificate, Marks Sheet and Admit Card, Intermediate Science/Equivalent Examination documents, B.Pharm Passing Certificate and Marks Sheet, and CGPA-to-percentage conversion certificate wherever applicable.

Candidates must also carry a Residence Certificate issued by the concerned Circle Officer/Revenue Officer, Caste Certificate issued by the concerned authority of the permanent residence, six passport-size photographs used during the online application, a copy of the Aadhaar Card, and the downloaded PGPAC-2026 Online Application Confirmation Page.

In addition, candidates are required to bring two copies of the downloaded Check Slip and one copy of the Biometric Identification Report Form.

PGPAC Rank Card 2026 Available Online

BCECEB has informed candidates that the PGPAC-2026 Rank Card has been uploaded on the official Board website. Candidates can download their rank card by clicking the “Download Rank Card of PGPAC-2026” link and entering their PGPAC ID and Date of Birth.

Candidates should note that inclusion of a PGPAC ID in the counselling programme does not guarantee admission. Admission will remain subject to fulfilment of all eligibility requirements mentioned in the PGPAC-2026 prospectus and applicable rules.

Course and Institution Choice During Counselling

After verification of original certificates, documents and identity, eligible candidates will be allowed to exercise their choice for the available course and institution according to their merit serial. Once a course or institution is opted for and allotted in the concerned category, no subsequent request for change of course or institution in the same category will be entertained.

Candidates who are absent or unable to appear at their scheduled counselling time may appear later during the counselling period of their respective category. However, such candidates will have to choose from the course and institution options available at the time of their actual reporting.

The admission fee and other applicable charges will have to be deposited at the concerned college at the time of admission.

Candidates whose eligibility is found deficient under the PGPAC-2026 prospectus, or under the latest applicable orders of the Hon'ble High Court, Supreme Court or Department of Health, Government of Bihar, may have their candidature rejected.

Candidates should also note that any typographical error in the published counselling details may be corrected by the Board whenever detected. The mere publication of a PGPAC ID in the counselling programme does not create any right to admission.
