Odisha MBBS/BDS 2026-27: Revised PC/PwBD Eligible Candidates List

On 19 August 2026, the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Board released a revised list of 71 physically challenged (PC/PwBD) candidates who have been found eligible for MBBS and BDS admission in the 2026-27 academic year. These candidates attended the Physical Challenged (PC) Board evaluation held at SCB Medical College & Hospital, Cuttack. This list is critical for PC/PwBD candidates in Odisha — if your name appears on it, you are cleared to proceed to the next stage of counselling. If your name is missing, you must understand why and what steps to take next.

What is this list and why does it matter?

This is the revised official list of physically challenged (PC/PwBD) candidates who have successfully completed the Physical Challenged Board evaluation required for MBBS and BDS admission in Odisha for 2026-27. The PC Board is a medical assessment conducted at SCB Medical College & Hospital, Cuttack, to verify and document the nature and extent of a candidate's physical disability.

Being on this 'eligible' list means the PC Board has confirmed your disability status and you meet the medical criteria for admission. This is a mandatory step for all PC/PwBD candidates in Odisha before they can participate in counselling and be allotted a seat. Without this clearance, you cannot proceed further in the admission process, even if you have a valid NEET UG rank.

The list contains 71 candidates across multiple medical specialties (departments) — E.N.T, Haematology, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedic, Psychiatry, and combinations. The 'Department' column indicates which specialty the candidate's disability is relevant to, which may influence seat allocation during counselling.

How to check if your name is on the list

The list is organized by serial number (1 to 71) and includes four key columns: your NEET (UG) Application Number, your NEET All India Rank (AIR), the Department (medical specialty), and your Remark (which should say 'ELIGIBLE').

To find yourself: (1) Locate your NEET UG Application Number — this is the 12-digit number you received when you registered for NEET. (2) Search the list for that number. (3) Verify that the NEET All India Rank shown matches your actual rank. (4) Confirm the Remark column says 'ELIGIBLE'. If all four match, you are cleared.

If you cannot find your application number on the list, it means either you did not attend the PC Board evaluation, or the Board did not clear you as eligible. In either case, contact the OJEE office immediately to understand the reason and explore your options.

• Your NEET UG Application Number is a 12-digit code (e.g., 260410535918)
• The list shows your NEET All India Rank (AIR) — verify this matches your actual rank
• All candidates on this list have 'ELIGIBLE' in the Remark column
• The Department column shows the medical specialty relevant to your disability

Understanding the Department column

The 'Department' column does not mean you will be admitted to that specialty — it indicates which medical department the PC Board has assessed your disability against. For example, if you are listed under 'Orthopaedic', it means your physical disability was evaluated in the context of orthopaedic medicine. This is used by the counselling authority to ensure appropriate seat allocation and support during your course.

Some candidates are listed with two departments (e.g., 'Orthopaedic / Ophthalmology'). This means your disability profile is relevant to both specialties, and you may be considered for seats in either during counselling, depending on availability and your rank.

The departments listed are: E.N.T (Ear, Nose, Throat), Haematology (blood disorders), Neurology (nervous system), Ophthalmology (eye), Orthopaedic (bones and joints), and Psychiatry (mental health). The specific department does not restrict which college or course you can apply to — it is purely for medical assessment and counselling logistics.

• Department indicates the medical specialty your disability was assessed against
• It does NOT restrict which college or course you can apply for
• Some candidates have two departments listed — you may be considered for either
• All departments are part of standard MBBS/BDS curricula

What happens next after this list?

Once you confirm your name is on this eligible list, you are cleared to participate in the Odisha OJEE counselling process for MBBS and BDS seats. The next step is to register for counselling (if you have not already) and participate in the seat allotment rounds according to the counselling schedule released by OJEE.

During counselling, your NEET All India Rank (AIR) will be used to rank you against all other eligible candidates — both general and PC/PwBD. PC/PwBD candidates are typically allotted seats from a reserved pool, and your rank determines your position in that pool. The higher your rank (lower AIR number), the better your chances of getting a seat in your preferred college and course.

Keep this list and your NEET UG Application Number handy during counselling. You will need to provide your application number when registering for counselling rounds and when confirming your seat allotment. Do not lose this document — save a copy on your phone and computer.

• Confirm your eligibility on this list before counselling registration
• Your NEET All India Rank determines your position in the PC/PwBD candidate pool
• Participate in counselling rounds according to the OJEE schedule
• Keep your NEET UG Application Number and this list safe for reference

What if your name is NOT on the list?

If you are a PC/PwBD candidate and your name does not appear on this revised list, there are several possible reasons: (1) You did not attend the PC Board evaluation at SCB Medical College, Cuttack. (2) You attended but the Board did not clear you as eligible (e.g., your disability did not meet the criteria, or documentation was incomplete). (3) There was an administrative error in recording your details.

Your immediate action: Contact the OJEE office or the PC Board at SCB Medical College within 2–3 days of this list's release. Bring your NEET UG Application Number, admit card, and any disability certificate or medical documents you have. Ask for a written explanation of why you were not cleared, and whether you can request a re-evaluation or appeal.

If you believe there was an error (e.g., your application number was recorded incorrectly), provide evidence and request a correction. If your disability was not cleared, ask what specific criteria were not met and whether you can reapply or appeal to a higher authority. Do not wait — the counselling schedule may move quickly, and delays could cost you a seat.

• Check the list carefully — search by your NEET UG Application Number
• If missing, contact OJEE or SCB Medical College PC Board immediately
• Bring your NEET admit card and disability certificate for verification
• Ask for a written reason and explore options for re-evaluation or appeal
• Act quickly — counselling rounds may begin soon

Key details about the PC Board evaluation

The PC Board evaluation was held at SCB Medical College & Hospital, Cuttack. This is a mandatory medical assessment for all candidates claiming PC/PwBD status in Odisha. The Board examines your disability, verifies your disability certificate, and determines whether you meet the criteria for PC/PwBD reservation in medical education.

The evaluation is not a pass/fail exam — it is a medical verification process. The Board checks: (1) Whether your disability is genuine and documented. (2) Whether your disability is permanent or long-term. (3) Whether your disability does not prevent you from pursuing MBBS or BDS. (4) Whether your disability certificate is valid and issued by a competent authority.

If you attended the PC Board and were cleared, you are now on this eligible list. If you attended but were not cleared, the Board found that one or more of the above criteria were not met. If you did not attend, you have missed this round — contact OJEE immediately to ask if there is a second chance or a different process for late applicants.

• PC Board evaluation was held at SCB Medical College & Hospital, Cuttack
• It is a mandatory medical verification, not an exam
• The Board verifies your disability certificate and assesses your eligibility
• Being on the eligible list means you passed this verification

Understanding your NEET All India Rank (AIR) on this list

Your NEET All India Rank (AIR) shown on this list is your rank among all candidates who took NEET UG 2026 across India. This rank is crucial for counselling — it determines your position in the merit order and your chances of getting a seat in your preferred college and course.

For example, if your AIR is 49,689 (as shown for one candidate on this list), it means 49,688 candidates scored better than you in NEET UG 2026. During counselling, you will be ranked against all other eligible candidates in Odisha (both general and PC/PwBD). Your AIR is the primary factor used to decide seat allotment — the lower your AIR, the higher your priority.

PC/PwBD candidates are typically allotted seats from a reserved pool (usually 5% of total seats in Odisha colleges). Within this pool, candidates are ranked by AIR. So even though you are in the PC/PwBD category, your AIR still matters — a better rank gives you a better choice of college and course within the reserved seats available.

• AIR is your rank among all NEET UG 2026 candidates across India
• Lower AIR = better rank = higher priority in counselling
• PC/PwBD candidates are ranked by AIR within the reserved seat pool
• Your AIR determines your choice of college and course during counselling

Important: This is a revised list

This document is labeled 'REVISED LIST' — meaning it is not the first version released by OJEE. A revised list is issued when corrections, additions, or removals are made to the original list. This could be because: (1) Candidates who were initially missed have been added. (2) Candidates who were incorrectly included have been removed. (3) Candidate details (application number, rank, department) have been corrected.

If you were on an earlier version of this list but are not on this revised version, contact OJEE immediately to understand why you were removed. If you were not on an earlier version but are now on this revised version, congratulations — you have been added and are now eligible to proceed.

Always refer to the most recent (revised) list released by OJEE. Do not rely on older versions. Check the date on the document — this revised list is dated 19 August 2026. If OJEE releases a further revised list after this date, use that instead.

Complete list of eligible candidates by specialty

The 71 eligible candidates are distributed across six medical specialties (departments) as follows: E.N.T (7 candidates), Haematology (16 candidates), Neurology (4 candidates), Ophthalmology (7 candidates), Orthopaedic (36 candidates), and Psychiatry (1 candidate). One candidate is listed for both Orthopaedic and Ophthalmology.

Orthopaedic has the highest number of eligible candidates (36), followed by Haematology (16).
