The 2nd Round State merit list for MBBS/BDS (85% state quota) is now live on the OJEE portal — check it immediately to confirm your eligibility and rank for the next counselling round.
What is the 2nd Round State Merit List?
The 2nd Round State merit list is the official ranking of candidates who are eligible to participate in the second round of counselling and seat allotment for MBBS and BDS courses in Odisha. This list is based on NEET UG 2026 scores and covers the 85% state-quota seats — the seats that Odisha fills through its own state-level counselling process.
If your name appears on this merit list, it means you have qualified for the 2nd round. Your position on the list (your rank) will determine the order in which you can choose colleges and courses during the 2nd round counselling process. Candidates ranked higher get to choose first.
Who Should Check This List?
Every candidate who applied for MBBS or BDS admission in Odisha under the state quota (85% seats) should check this merit list. This includes candidates from all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, and any other category recognized by Odisha.
If you appeared for NEET UG 2026 and submitted your application for Odisha counselling, you must verify that your name is on this list. If you do not see your name, it may mean you did not qualify for the 2nd round, or there may be an error in your application data.
What Information Will You Find on the Merit List?
The merit list contains your rank, name, NEET UG score, category, and eligibility status for the 2nd round. It also shows whether you are eligible to participate in counselling and which courses (MBBS or BDS) you are qualified for based on your score and category.
Study this information carefully. Your rank determines the order in which you will be called to choose a college and course during the 2nd round counselling. A higher rank (lower number) means you get to choose first.
How to Access the Merit List
The 2nd Round State merit list has been published on the official OJEE portal. You must log in using your NEET UG registration number and password to view your details on the merit list.
Visit the OJEE counselling website, navigate to the merit list section, and search for your name or registration number. Download and save a copy of the merit list for your records. You will need this information when you participate in the 2nd round counselling process.

What Does Your Rank Mean?
Your rank on the merit list is your position among all eligible candidates in Odisha for the 2nd round. If you are ranked 100, it means 99 candidates are ranked above you and will get to choose their college and course before you do.
Your rank is determined by your NEET UG score. Candidates with higher scores are ranked higher (lower rank numbers). Within each category, candidates are ranked separately — so your rank among General candidates may be different from your rank overall.
What Happens After the Merit List is Published?
After the merit list is published, OJEE will announce the dates and process for the 2nd round counselling. During this round, you will be called to log in to the counselling portal and choose your preferred colleges and courses in order of your choice.
The seats will be allotted based on your rank, your choices, and the availability of seats in each college and course. Candidates with higher ranks get priority in seat allotment. You must keep checking the OJEE portal for announcements about the 2nd round counselling schedule and instructions.
What If Your Name is Not on the Merit List?
If your name does not appear on the 2nd Round State merit list, it could mean: (1) your NEET UG score was not high enough to qualify for the 2nd round, (2) there was an error in your application or registration, or (3) you did not submit your application for Odisha counselling.
If you believe your name should be on the list, contact the OJEE office immediately with your NEET UG registration number and application details. Do not wait — the counselling process moves quickly, and delays can cost you a seat.
Important: Verify Your Details Carefully
When you check the merit list, verify that all your details are correct: your name, NEET UG registration number, score, category, and rank. Any error in these details could affect your eligibility or seat allotment.
If you spot an error — for example, your category is listed incorrectly, or your score is wrong — report it to OJEE immediately. Do not assume the error will be corrected automatically. Errors in category or score can disqualify you from counselling or result in a lower rank than you deserve.
Next Steps: Prepare for 2nd Round Counselling
Now that the merit list is published, you should prepare for the 2nd round counselling. This means researching the colleges and courses available, understanding the seat matrix (how many seats are available in each college and course), and deciding your order of preference.
Keep your NEET UG registration number, password, and a copy of the merit list handy. Watch the OJEE portal closely for announcements about the 2nd round counselling dates, the choice-filling process, and the seat allotment result. Missing a deadline can result in loss of your seat.

What does my rank on the merit list mean?
Your rank shows your position among all eligible candidates in Odisha for the 2nd round. A lower rank number (e.g., rank 50) means you are ranked higher and will get to choose your college and course before candidates with higher rank numbers (e.g., rank 100). Your rank is determined by your NEET UG score.
What if my name is not on the 2nd Round merit list?
If your name is not on the list, it could mean your NEET UG score was not high enough to qualify for the 2nd round, there was an error in your application, or you did not submit your application for Odisha counselling. Contact OJEE immediately with your registration number to clarify.
Can I see which colleges and courses are available in the 2nd round?
The merit list itself shows your eligibility for MBBS or BDS. The seat matrix — which shows how many seats are available in each college and course — is usually published separately by OJEE. Check the OJEE portal for the seat matrix and college list for the 2nd round.

If you spot an error — such as incorrect category, wrong score, or misspelled name — report it to OJEE immediately. Do not assume it will be corrected automatically. Errors in category or score can affect your rank and eligibility, so act quickly.
Is the 2nd Round merit list final, or can it change?
The merit list published by OJEE is based on the data submitted during application. If there are errors in your application data or if OJEE receives corrections, the list may be updated. Always check the OJEE portal for any announcements about corrections or revised merit lists.
Can I participate in the 2nd round if I was allotted a seat in the 1st round?
This depends on OJEE's rules for the 2nd round. Typically, candidates who accepted a seat in the 1st round cannot participate in the 2nd round. Check the OJEE counselling guidelines or contact OJEE directly to confirm whether you are eligible for the 2nd round.
What documents should I have ready for the 2nd round counselling?
Keep your NEET UG registration number, password, a copy of the merit list, your NEET UG admit card, and any other documents OJEE has asked for during application. OJEE will provide detailed instructions for the 2nd round counselling process, including which documents you need to upload or submit.
