A nodal university conducts it for each cycle: the 2026 prospectus names B.R. Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur as State Nodal University. The nodal university for 2027 is not announced yet. The portal still shows the 2026 admission rounds (final-round notices of 29 September 2026), and no 2027 notice was on it on 5 October 2026. The facts below come from the 2026 prospectus.
