BCECEB Important Updates Related to UGMAC-2024 Round – 1
The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) has announced significant updates regarding the UGMAC-2024 process following a recent Supreme Court ruling. On July 15, 2024, the Hon’ble Supreme Court ordered the reclassification of the Tanti (Tatva) caste from the Scheduled Caste (SC) category to the Economically Backward Class (EBC) category. This decision impacts the merit lists and counselling processes for UGMAC-2024, as communicated in the Bihar Government’s letter and BCECEB advertisement.
Changes to Merit List
In light of the Supreme Court’s order and subsequent adjustments, candidates belonging to the Tanti (Tatva) caste were permitted to update their application status. This led to 30 candidates changing their category from SC to EBC during the period from September 17 to September 18, 2024. Consequently, the merit list published on August 21, 2024, has been revised. Candidates can download their revised rank cards from the BCECEB website by entering their UGMAC ID and date of birth.
