Bihar's New Bond Policy for NEET PG Students
The Bihar government has introduced a strict bond policy for postgraduate medical students. Under this policy, students who gain admission to MD or MS courses through NEET PG must sign a bond committing to three years of mandatory service with the state government after completing their degree. The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board began registrations for the first round of admissions on October 31, 2025. Students must pay a non-refundable registration fee of Rs 2,200 plus a security deposit. The state offers a total of 906 PG medical seats, with 352 in government colleges and 463 in private institutions.
Heavy Penalties for Breaking Service Commitment
Students who fail to complete the mandatory three-year government service after their PG medical education face severe financial penalties. Those who abandon their course after securing admission must return Rs 15 lakh plus all stipends received during their study period. Students who complete the course but don't fulfill the service requirement must pay Rs 25 lakh and return all stipends. Medical college principals will collect these bonds during admission and will hold students' MBBS certificates as security until either the service obligation is completed or the penalty amount is paid. This policy aims to ensure that trained doctors serve in Bihar's healthcare system.
