Admissions Process (Centralized State Counselling)

BUHS does not conduct its own admissions. All admissions to all of its affiliated colleges are handled by the state government's centralized bodies.

• Primary Gateway (MBBS/BDS/AYUSH): Admission is strictly based on the rank obtained in the NEET-UG examination.

• State Counselling Authority: The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) is the sole authority responsible for conducting the centralized online counselling for all seats (State Quota, Management Quota, and NRI Quota) in all affiliated colleges.

• Medical/Dental Counselling: UGMAC (for UG) and PGMAC (for PG).

• Nursing/Paramedical: Admissions are typically based on the BCECE (Diploma) or BCECE (Lateral Entry) exams, also conducted by the BCECEB.

Career Pathways & Placements

As an affiliating university, BUHS does not have a central placement cell. Placements and career paths are specific to the graduates of its affiliated colleges.

• Internship: All clinical graduates (MBBS, BDS, BAMS, etc.) must complete a mandatory 1-year rotatory internship at their respective teaching hospital, for which they receive a stipend.

• Career Path: Graduates are employed by the state government's health services (often fulfilling a service bond), pursue postgraduate specialization (via NEET-PG), join private hospital chains (like Apollo, Max), or start their own clinical practice.
