BCECE LE 2026 – What Happens After Seat Allotment
Candidates who receive a seat allotment must physically report to their designated Reporting / Nodal Center for Document Verification (DV) strictly between 28 July and 30 July 2026. Failing to report within this timeframe will lead to the automatic cancellation of the allotted seat, and the candidate will not be permitted to participate in the 2nd round of counselling.
Before arriving at the nodal center, candidates must download the specific Check Slip and Biometric Form for BCECE (LE) from the BCECEB website. You are required to bring two filled copies of the Check Slip, one copy of the Biometric Form, 3 copies of your Provisional Allotment Order, and all original academic certificates (Diploma/B.Sc marksheet, passing certificates), caste/category certificates, domicile certificate, and at least 6 passport-size photographs identical to those uploaded in the application.
Crucial Upgradation Rule: Even if a candidate opts for "YES" to auto-upgradation, they must report to the allotted nodal center to complete the document verification process. After successful verification, their original documents will be returned with a signed verification slip, making them eligible for a higher preference seat in the 2nd round.
