Some independent news reports mention a slightly later choice-filling closing date (July 23, 2026).

How Seats Are Allotted in Round 1
BCECEB allots seats strictly based on:
- The candidate's merit/rank in BCECE (LE) 2026.
- The preferences (choices) submitted and locked during choice filling.
- The availability of seats in the college and branch chosen.
Choice filling is a one-time process - candidates who do not submit choices in Round 1 are not given a fresh opportunity in later rounds. If a candidate does not manually lock choices before the deadline, the system automatically locks the last saved preferences once the window closes. Choice locking and unlocking require OTP verification sent to the candidate's registered mobile number and email, and these contact details cannot be changed during counselling.
Candidates unhappy with their Round 1 allotment can opt for "upgradation" while downloading the provisional allotment order, which keeps them eligible for a better seat in Round 2. Candidates who do not select upgradation will not be considered in the next round.

| Fail to complete verification within the deadline | Allotted seat is cancelled, and the candidate is disqualified from further counselling rounds. |
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Do not wait until the last date to complete choice filling or document verification - BCECEB is not responsible for last-minute internet or technical issues.
- Locked choices carry forward automatically into later rounds; there is no need to re-enter or re-lock them for Round 2 or the mop-up round.
- Report to the exact Reporting/Nodal Centre mentioned on your allotment order, not any other centre.
- Keep the registered mobile number and email active throughout counselling, since OTPs are sent only to these for choice locking/unlocking.
- Cross-check every date and requirement against the official BCECE (LE) 2026 counselling notification before taking any action.
