📝 Step-by-Step Guide for Bihar ITI 2025 Counselling & Choice Filling

Here’s a human-friendly breakdown of what you need to do:

1. Online Registration

Once BCECEB activates the counselling portal, visit the official website and register using your Roll Number, Date of Birth, and other login credentials from the ITI CAT result.

2. Pay the Counselling Fee

After registration, pay the prescribed counselling fee through online mode (Debit/Credit card, Net Banking, or UPI). The fee amount may vary based on category.

3. Choice Filling & Locking

Carefully select the trades (e.g., Fitter, Electrician, Mechanic) and institutions you prefer. You can arrange them in priority order. Once finalized, lock your choices to confirm them for seat allotment.

🔔 Tip: Never skip the locking step — unlocked choices are not considered in allotment.

4. Check Seat Allotment Result

Based on your rank and preferences, BCECEB will release the seat allotment list. If you are allotted a seat, download your allotment letter from the portal.

5. Document Verification

Visit the allotted institute with all your original documents and allotment letter. Ensure you carry photocopies as well. The institute will verify your eligibility and approve your admission.

6. Final Admission Confirmation

After successful verification, pay the course fee at the ITI and confirm your admission. If not satisfied with your allotment, you can wait for the next round or upgrade option.
