What the Bihar ITICAT 2026 Seat Matrix Contains
The seat matrix shows the seats offered by every government and private ITI in Bihar. It covers all trades open under the current admission cycle. The board fixes the seat count for each trade at each institute.
The matrix is the primary reference document for choice filling. Each institute carries a unique institute code in the file. Candidates can identify their preferred institute using this code.
The seat distribution also reflects category-wise reservations in line with state norms. Candidates from reserved categories should check their bracket before filling choices. Reading the matrix early saves time during the live counselling window.

How to Begin Choice Filling for Bihar ITICAT 2026?
Choice filling is the next stage after the release of the seat matrix. Candidates must log in to the official counselling portal. The board has issued a separate detailed notice explaining the complete process.
The latest notices explain the choice filling schedule, counselling rules, fee details, and document upload requirements. Candidates should read all instructions carefully before proceeding.
The choice filling round is open on admissions.nic.in/bihar. Candidates need their ITICAT 2026 Application Number and Password to log in. All choices must be locked before the official deadline to be considered for seat allotment.
The seat matrix decides which trades and institutes a candidate can target. Locking choices without checking the matrix often leads to poor allotment. Reviewing the PDF first helps students pick reachable seats based on their rank.
Action Plan for Candidates
- Download the seat matrix PDF from the BCECEB website.
- Identify ITIs and trades that match your rank and interest.
- Read the detailed choice filling notice carefully before logging in.
- Log in to the counselling portal at admissions.nic.in/bihar.
- Lock your preferences within the official window before it closes.
