AIIMS Paramedical Counselling 2026: Seat Allotment Dates

The 2026 schedule is divided into three primary stages: the Mock Round, Round 1, and Round 2, followed by an Open Round if vacancies persist. The Mock Round is an essential preliminary step where candidates can practice choice filling to understand how the system allocates seats based on their rank and preferences. While the mock allotment is not binding, it serves as a reality check for students to adjust their expectations and strategies before the actual Round 1 begins.

For the 2026-27 session, the registration for the Mock Round typically opens in the first week of August, with results being announced shortly after. This phase is critical because it allows you to see where you stand among your peers.

Following the Mock Round, the first round of seat allotment is the most significant phase. During this time, the portal opens for final choice filling and locking. Candidates must be extremely careful during this window; once the choices are locked, they cannot be edited for that specific round.

The Round 1 allotment result is expected to be released in the third week of August 2026. If a seat is allotted, the candidate must choose between 'Accepting and Freezing' the seat or 'Accepting and Opting to Participate in Round 2'. This decision-making process is where MatchToCollege's AI tools provide the most value, helping you decide if your current allotment is the best you can get or if a better campus is within reach in the next round.

The second round of counselling caters to those who did not get a seat in the first round or those who opted for an upgrade. The schedule for Round 2 is usually condensed, with a quick window for exercising options and a rapid turnaround for seat allotment results, usually by the first week of September.

It is important to remember that if you are allotted a seat in Round 2, you must report to the respective AIIMS within the stipulated timeframe, usually five to seven working days. Failure to report results in the cancellation of the seat and the forfeiture of any security deposit paid. The Open Round, if conducted, typically occurs in late September or October, dealing with the remaining vacant seats across all AIIMS institutes. This round often involves a physical reporting component or a separate online registration, and it is usually the last chance for aspirants to gain entry for the current academic year.

The journey to securing an AIIMS Paramedical seat begins with the 'MyPage' on the AIIMS exams portal. To participate in the counselling, candidates must log in using their unique Registration ID, RUC (Registration Unique Code), and password. The first step is the verification of details and the generation of a new password specifically for the counselling portal.

This is a security measure to ensure that only the candidate can manage their seat preferences. Once logged in, the candidate will see a list of available paramedical courses across various AIIMS campuses. This list is personalized based on the candidate's eligibility and category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, or PwBD).

Choice filling is perhaps the most strategic part of the entire process. Candidates are encouraged to fill as many choices as possible in their order of preference. AIIMS uses an automated algorithm that processes seats from the top of your list downward. Therefore, your dream course and campus should always be at the number one spot, regardless of your rank. Many students make the mistake of only listing colleges they think they will get.

However, the system is designed to check your first preference first; if unavailable, it moves to the second, and so on. At MatchToCollege, we suggest a 'Ladder Strategy': placing top-tier 'reach' institutes at the top, 'match' institutes in the middle, and 'safety' institutes at the bottom. This ensures you get the highest possible quality of education based on your performance.

After filling the choices, the 'Save and Lock' function is vital. If a candidate fails to lock their choices before the deadline, the system will automatically lock the last saved preferences. However, manual locking is always recommended to ensure your choices are recorded exactly as intended. After the allotment results are published, candidates will have to log back into the portal to download their 'Allotment Letter'.

This letter is a mandatory document for the physical verification stage. If you are not satisfied with your allotment and wish to participate in the next round, you must still interact with the portal and select the appropriate 'Option 2' (Accept and Upgrade). Ignoring the portal after an allotment leads to disqualification from further rounds.

Who Should Report for Document Verification?

Only candidates allotted a seat in the Mop-Up Round need to report between August 13 and 14, 2026. Reporting must be done at the allotted institute, not at the board office. Candidates must reach the venue within the notified window to secure admission.

Documents Required at the Reporting Centre

Candidates must carry originals along with two sets of self-attested photocopies. Missing documents can lead to rejection of admission at the institute level.

• DCECE 2026 Mop-Up Round allotment order
• DCECE 2026 admit card and rank card
• Class 10 marksheet and certificate for proof of date of birth
• Category certificate issued by the competent authority, if applicable
• EWS certificate, if claiming the reservation
• Person with Disability certificate, if applicable
• Residential certificate of Bihar
• Aadhaar card and recent passport size photographs.

What Happens If a Candidate Skips Reporting?

Failure to report on August 13 or 14, 2026 will lead to automatic cancellation of the allotted seat. The vacated seat may be offered to other candidates as per board rules. Candidates who accept the seat cannot return to earlier round allotments.

Why This Round Matters

The Mop-Up Round is the last chance for candidates to secure a polytechnic seat in Bihar for the 2026 session. No further round is scheduled after this stage. Vacant seats after August 14 will be handled as per the board's residual seat policy.

Action Plan for Candidates

1. Log in to bceceboard.bihar.gov.in and download the Mop-Up allotment order.
2. Arrange all original documents and two sets of self-attested photocopies.
3. Confirm the reporting address and timing of the allotted institute.
4. Reach the allotted institute on August 13 or 14, 2026 for verification.
5. Pay the admission fee at the institute as per the notified structure.
6. Collect the admission receipt and retain it for future reference.

Once a seat has been allotted, the transition from 'Aspirant' to 'Student' depends entirely on successful document verification. AIIMS is notoriously strict regarding documentation; any discrepancy between the data provided during the application and the physical documents can lead to immediate cancellation of admission. The primary documents required include the AIIMS Paramedical 2026 Admit Card, the official Rank Letter/Result, and a certificate of passing the 10+2 or equivalent examination with the required subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Maths, and English). Candidates must also provide their 10th-grade certificate as proof of date of birth.

Category certificates (OBC/SC/ST/EWS) are a frequent point of contention. For the 2026-27 session, the certificates must be issued within the specific date range mentioned in the AIIMS prospectus. For instance, OBC (NCL) and EWS certificates usually need to be issued within a one-year window prior to the exam date. If a certificate is found to be outdated or issued by an unauthorized official, the candidate will be treated as a General category student, which may result in the loss of their allotted seat if their rank does not meet the General cutoff. It is also mandatory to carry a set of self-attested photocopies along with the original documents.

In addition to academic and category documents, candidates must also present a medical fitness certificate from a designated medical board. Since paramedical roles involve physical activity and clinical presence, AIIMS ensures that all admitted students meet the health standards required for the profession.

If you are upgrading your seat in a later round, you will need a 'Bonafide Certificate' from the AIIMS where you deposited your original documents in the previous round. This ensures that your documents are safely held while you transition between campuses.
