BCECE 2019 Scrapped!

BCECE 2019 Scrapped: Bihar Combined Engineering Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has released a notification stating that from now on admissions to engineering colleges in Bihar state will be done on basis of JEE Main 2019 Scores. Also, admissions to UG medical courses in Bihar State Medical Colleges will be based on NEET 2019 Merit List. The notification also confirms Bihar State Government’s Agreement on the same. BCECEB will only be organizing seat allotment through BCECE 2019 Counselling after JEE Main 2019 Results for paper 1 and NEET 2019 Results are announced.

BCECE Board had earlier reported that it will be conducting BCECE 2019 in Computer-based test mode for admissions to UG courses at Bihar Engineering Colleges. But now, candidates who have appeared or will be appearing for JEE Main 2019 can participate in BCECE Counselling 2019 directly for admissions to Engineering Colleges in Bihar state.

National Test Agency (NTA) the exam conducting authority for JEE Main and NEET has already completed application process for JEE Main 2019 January session and NEET 2019.

Highlights of BCECE Scrapped Notification:

• BCECE 2019 scrapped, no separate examination for admission to UG engineering or medical courses in Bihar State Engineering Colleges and Medical Colleges.
• Only BCECE Counselling 2019 based on JEE Main 2019 Results and NEET 2019 Results for seat allotment to UG engineering and medical courses will be organized
• Candidates seeking admissions to Bihar state engineering and medical colleges can fill BCECE Application Form 2019 to register for counselling and seat allotment.

JEE Main 2019 January Session Missed!

What to do? – There’s still a chance left for candidates who did not apply or appear in JEE Main 2019 January session as they can apply for April session once the application form are available. Check here JEE Main 2019 dates for registration and other events.

Competition level Increased!

Candidates who only wanted to appear in BCECE 2019 which is a state level entrance test will now have to appear for JEE Main 2019 which is a national level entrance exam and has high competition among JEE aspirants. Same is the case for the medical aspirants as NEET is the primary and only national level entrance exam.

BCECE 2019 Medical Aspirants lost a year!

Many candidates seeking admissions to UG medical courses in Bihar Medical Colleges were awaiting BCECE 2019 application form. Candidates who did not apply for NEET 2019 for which the application form was available till December 07, 2018, have a year wasted now. NEET 2019 will be conducted on May 05, 2019 and candidates who could not apply have no chance for appearing for the test.

Positive Outlook:

Candidates who are already appearing for JEE Main 2019 and NEET 2019 are now not required to take another entrance test for admissions to colleges in Bihar state.

By taking national level entrance exams i.e. JEE Main and NEET, candidates can take admissions not just in colleges in Bihar state but also in Top Engineering Colleges like NITs, IIITs, CFTIs and Top Medical Colleges all over India.
