Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination • Conducted by Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB)
Engineering, Agriculture, Pharmacy & Nursing Institutes Across the State
BCECE/UGEAC feeds admissions into a defined set of government and select private institutes across Bihar, spanning Engineering, Agriculture, Pharmacy, and Nursing/Paramedical streams. It is important to distinguish which institutes genuinely admit through BCECE/UGEAC from those that do not, since several of Bihar's most prestigious technical institutes lie outside this network entirely.
| College | Location | Notable Branches |
|---|---|---|
| Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology (MIT) | Muzaffarpur | CSE, ECE, EE, Mechanical, Civil |
| Nalanda College of Engineering (NCE) | Chandi, Nalanda | Aeronautical, CSE, Mechanical, Civil |
| Gaya College of Engineering (GCE) | Gaya | Mechanical, Civil, Electrical |
| Bhagalpur College of Engineering (BCE) | Bhagalpur | CSE, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical |
| Darbhanga College of Engineering (DCE) | Darbhanga | Mechanical, Civil, Electrical |
| Motihari College of Engineering | Motihari | CSE, Mechanical, Civil |
| Bihar Institute of Technology, Sindri / Patna campus | Patna/Sindri | Multiple core branches |
| Institute | Location | Courses |
|---|---|---|
| Bihar Agricultural University (BAU), Sabour | Bhagalpur | B.Sc. Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry |
| Affiliated Agriculture Colleges under BAU | Various districts | B.Sc. Agriculture and allied degrees |
Government engineering colleges in Bihar follow the state's reservation policy, with seats divided across Unreserved (UR), EWS, SC, ST, BC, and EBC categories, alongside horizontal reservations for female candidates and persons with disabilities (PwD). The exact seat matrix per college/branch is published by BCECEB ahead of each counselling round and can shift marginally year to year based on intake approvals from AICTE and the state technical education department.
A limited number of private engineering colleges in Bihar also participate in BCECE/UGEAC-linked admission for their state-quota seats, while continuing to admit management-quota and NRI-quota seats independently. Students should verify each private college's specific admission routes directly, since practices vary and many private institutes in Bihar now lean more heavily on direct JEE Main-based admission or their own entrance processes outside the BCECEB system.
No, NIT Patna admits exclusively through JEE Main and JEE Advanced via JoSAA/CSAB; it has no admission route through BCECE or UGEAC.
Colleges such as MIT Muzaffarpur, NCE Chandi, Gaya College of Engineering, Bhagalpur College of Engineering, and Darbhanga College of Engineering are the primary government institutes using the UGEAC (JEE Main-based) and BCECE vacant-seat processes.
No, for Bihar Agricultural University and its affiliated colleges, BCECE's Agriculture group paper remains the primary and essentially only state-level entrance route.
A limited number do, for their state-quota seats, but practices vary considerably by institute and should be verified directly with each college.
