📊 OFSS Bihar 3rd Merit List 2025 – Cut-Off Trends

The cut-off marks in the third list generally drop compared to the first and second rounds, especially for non-popular colleges or streams with lower demand. Candidates who didn’t secure admission in earlier rounds may find this final list more accessible.

Cut-offs vary from district to district and stream to stream. Science stream tends to have the highest cut-offs, while Arts and Vocational streams usually have lower thresholds.

If you're still not selected, keep checking the OFSS portal as some institutions may announce spot round admissions depending on seat availability.

🚨 Important Points to Note

• Admission must be completed within the time frame mentioned in your intimation letter.

• Failure to take admission after selection may lead to cancellation of your seat.

• Always verify your details carefully and follow instructions from the school/college administration.

📢 What If You Are Not Selected in the 3rd Merit List?

If your name is not included in the 3rd merit list, don’t panic. Here's what you can do:

• Wait for Spot Round or Mop-Up Round, which some colleges may offer if they still have vacant seats.

• Visit the colleges directly and inquire about admission under management quota or spot admission.

• Keep documents ready, as spot rounds are usually fast and limited.
