UGEAC 2025 choice filling is the most important step in Bihar engineering counselling. The choices you fill decide which college and branch you will get. A wrong choice order can cost you a better college.
Before filling choices, use our UGEAC 2025 College Predictor to know exactly which colleges you can get based on your rank.
Login to the official UGEAC 2025 portal with your registration number.
Go to "Choice Filling" section.
Search for colleges and branches you want.
Add them to your choice list in order of preference — best choice first.

Best Strategy for UGEAC 2025 Choice Filling
Strategy 1 — If you want a specific branch (e.g., CSE):
Put CSE at all colleges in order: BCE Bhagalpur CSE, MIT Muzaffarpur CSE, GCE Gaya CSE, DCE Darbhanga CSE... then put other branches at good colleges as backup.
Strategy 2 — If you want a specific college (e.g., BCE Bhagalpur):
Put all branches at BCE Bhagalpur first (CSE, ECE, IT, EE, ME, CE), then repeat for the next best college MIT Muzaffarpur, and so on.
Strategy 3 — Balanced approach:
Put dream college + dream branch first. Then dream college + other branches. Then second college + dream branch. Keep going until you have 40+ choices.
