What Are the Counselling Fees for BCECE LE 2026?

The counselling process includes two separate fee components. The first is a non-refundable registration fee, which must be paid while completing the counselling registration.

The exact fee amounts are provided in the official BCECE LE 2026 counselling prospectus available on the BCECEB portal.
