Additional selection notes:

• If a candidate’s MBBS result was awarded in grade/CGPA, the university/institute-converted percentage will be used; otherwise, the candidate is deemed to have secured 50% (the minimum qualifying percentage) as a flat rate.
• For candidates from foreign medical institutes, marks are computed from the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) score multiplied by 0.6, and registration with MCI/NMC is mandatory.
• Tie-breaking: If two or more candidates score equal marks, the older candidate (by date of birth) is ranked higher. If age is also equal, higher educational qualification is considered. If a tie persists, seniority is decided alphabetically based on the candidate’s name as recorded in the Class 10 certificate.
• Shortlisted candidates will be called for Document Verification/Counselling, tentatively scheduled for September 2026. The final merit list, category-wise and post-wise, will be prepared after successful document verification, in accordance with prevailing Bihar reservation rules.
