The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Board has released an official list of 206 ex-servicemen candidates who have successfully attended and been verified by the ES (Ex-Servicemen) Board at Rajya Sainik Board, Bhubaneswar. This list is critical for NEET UG 2026 counselling for MBBS and BDS admission in Odisha for the academic year 2026-27. If you are an ex-servicemen candidate applying for medical or dental courses in Odisha, you must check whether your name appears on this verified list. Only candidates on this list are eligible to claim ex-servicemen quota benefits during the state counselling process. The list includes each candidate's NEET UG application number and their all-India rank.
206 ex-servicemen candidates have been verified by Rajya Sainik Board and are eligible to claim ex-servicemen quota benefits in Odisha MBBS/BDS counselling 2026-27.
What is this list and why does it matter?
This is an official verification list released by OJEE on 13 August 2026. It contains the names and NEET details of 206 candidates who have been confirmed as eligible ex-servicemen by the Rajya Sainik Board, Bhubaneswar. Ex-servicemen status is a special category in medical admissions that can provide quota benefits and priority in seat allocation during counselling.
If you are the child, spouse, or dependent of a retired or serving armed forces personnel, you may be eligible for ex-servicemen benefits. However, simply being related to an ex-serviceman is not enough — you must have attended the ES Board verification process and been approved. This list confirms who has passed that verification.
Only candidates whose names appear on this list can claim ex-servicemen quota benefits during Odisha's state counselling for MBBS and BDS seats. If your name is not on the list but you believe you are eligible, you will need to contact OJEE or Rajya Sainik Board to understand why and whether you can appeal or reapply.
Who is eligible for ex-servicemen status?
Ex-servicemen status in medical admissions typically applies to: (1) children of retired or serving armed forces personnel (Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Paramilitary forces); (2) spouses of serving or retired armed forces personnel; (3) dependents of armed forces personnel who died in service or from service-related causes. The exact eligibility criteria are set by the Ministry of Defence and implemented by state boards like Rajya Sainik Board.
To claim this status, you must have applied for it during your NEET UG application or during the counselling registration process, and you must have attended the ES Board verification at Rajya Sainik Board, Bhubaneswar. The board verifies your documents (discharge certificate, service record, family relationship proof) and confirms your eligibility. Only after this verification are you added to this official list.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, contact Rajya Sainik Board, Bhubaneswar directly before the counselling process begins. Do not assume you are eligible — verification is mandatory, and this list is the proof that you have been verified.
How to check if your name is on the list
The list contains 206 entries, each with a serial number, NEET UG application number, and NEET all-India rank. To find yourself, search for your NEET UG application number (a 12-digit number starting with 26041 or 26041, issued when you registered for NEET UG 2026). Your application number is printed on your NEET admit card and in your counselling registration confirmation.
The list is arranged by serial number (1 to 206) and is presented in a table format across five pages. You can search manually or use your browser's 'Find' function (Ctrl+F on Windows, Cmd+F on Mac) to search for your application number quickly. If you find your number, note your all-India rank as well — this will be used to determine your merit position during counselling.
If your name does not appear on this list, it means either: (1) you did not attend the ES Board verification; (2) you attended but were not approved; or (3) you did not claim ex-servicemen status during your NEET application or counselling registration. Contact OJEE or Rajya Sainik Board immediately to clarify your status and explore options.
- Search for your 12-digit NEET UG application number in the list
- Use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to search quickly
- Note your all-India rank if you find your name
- If not listed, contact OJEE or Rajya Sainik Board before counselling begins
What happens next in the counselling process?
Being on this verified list means you are now eligible to participate in Odisha's state counselling for MBBS and BDS seats under the ex-servicemen quota. During counselling, your all-India rank (shown in the list) will determine your merit position. Candidates are typically called for seat allocation in order of their rank — lower rank numbers are called first.
Odisha allocates 85% of MBBS and BDS seats through state counselling. Of these, a portion is reserved for ex-servicemen candidates. The exact number of ex-servicemen seats varies by college and course, but being verified means you can compete for these reserved seats. You will also be able to apply for general category seats if you wish, depending on your rank and the counselling rules.
The next step is to register for counselling on the OJEE portal when the counselling window opens. You will need to fill in your choices of colleges and courses, and the system will allocate seats based on your rank, category, and preferences. Keep your NEET admit card, this verification list, and all supporting documents ready for the counselling process.
- Your all-India rank determines your merit position in counselling
- You are eligible for ex-servicemen quota seats in MBBS and BDS
- You can also apply for general category seats if eligible
- Register on OJEE portal when counselling window opens
- Keep all documents ready for seat allocation and admission
Understanding the list: Application number and all-India rank
Each entry in the list shows three pieces of information: (1) Serial number (1–206) — this is just the order in which names appear on the list and does not affect your counselling; (2) NEET UG application number — your unique 12-digit identifier issued by NTA when you registered for NEET UG 2026; (3) NEET all-India rank — your rank among all NEET UG 2026 candidates across India, based on your NEET score.
Your all-India rank is crucial. It determines your position in the merit list during counselling. For example, if your rank is 3,777 (the highest rank on this list), you will be called for seat allocation before a candidate with rank 10,306. Lower rank numbers are better. The lowest rank on this list is 3,777 and the highest is 1,067,077.
Do not confuse your all-India rank with your state rank or category rank. Your all-India rank is what matters for Odisha state counselling. It reflects your performance in NEET UG compared to all candidates nationwide. This rank, combined with your category (ex-servicemen) and your college/course preferences, will determine which seat you are offered.
- Serial number: order on the list only, does not affect counselling
- NEET UG application number: your unique 12-digit identifier
- NEET all-India rank: your merit position nationwide (lower is better)
- Rank range on this list: 3,777 (best) to 1,067,077 (lowest)
Important: What this list does NOT include
This list is verification only — it does NOT mean you have been allotted a seat. It only confirms that you are eligible to participate in counselling as an ex-servicemen candidate. Seat allotment happens later, during the actual counselling rounds, based on your rank, preferences, and seat availability.
The list does not show which colleges or courses you will get, or whether you will get a seat at all. It does not guarantee a seat in any particular college or course. It simply confirms your eligibility to compete for ex-servicemen quota seats. Your actual seat depends on your rank, your choices, and how many ex-servicemen seats are available in the colleges and courses you have chosen.
This list is also not a final admission list. After counselling, you will receive a seat allotment letter (if you are allotted a seat). You must then report to the allotted college, submit your original documents, and complete the admission process. Failure to report or submit documents on time can result in forfeiture of your seat.
- This is a verification list, NOT a seat allotment list
- It confirms eligibility only; it does not guarantee a seat
- Actual seat allotment happens during counselling rounds
- Your seat depends on your rank, preferences, and seat availability
- You must report to the allotted college and complete admission formalities
Documents you will need during counselling
When you register for counselling and during seat allotment, you will need to have the following documents ready: (1) NEET admit card (original); (2) NEET scorecard (original); (3) 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates; (4) Aadhar card or passport (identity proof); (5) Ex-servicemen verification certificate or discharge certificate from Rajya Sainik Board (proof of ex-servicemen status); (6) Caste certificate (if applicable, for SC/ST/OBC candidates); (7) Income certificate (if applicable, for economically weaker section candidates); (8) Medical fitness certificate (if required by the college).
The ex-servicemen verification certificate is especially important. This is the document issued by Rajya Sainik Board after your ES Board verification. If you do not have this certificate, contact Rajya Sainik Board immediately to obtain it. Without it, you may not be able to claim ex-servicemen benefits even if your name is on this list.
Keep all original documents and photocopies in a safe place. Do not submit originals unless specifically asked by the college. During counselling registration and seat allotment, you may be asked to show these documents. After admission, you will need to submit originals to the college for verification and record-keeping.
- NEET admit card and scorecard (original)
- 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates
- Aadhar card or passport
- Ex-servicemen verification certificate from Rajya Sainik Board
- Caste certificate (if SC/ST/OBC)
- Income certificate (if EWS)
- Medical fitness certificate (if required)
- Keep originals and photocopies safe
Common mistakes to avoid
Mistake 1: Assuming your name on this list means you have a seat. This list only confirms eligibility. You must still participate in counselling, fill in your preferences, and wait for seat allotment. Many candidates on this list may not get a seat if their rank is too low or if they do not fill in their preferences correctly.
Mistake 2: Not registering for counselling on time. Even if you are on this verified list, you must register on the OJEE counselling portal within the specified dates. If you miss the registration deadline, you will not be able to participate in counselling, and you will lose your chance at a seat. Mark the counselling registration dates on your calendar and register early.
Mistake 3: Not submitting the ex-servicemen verification certificate during counselling registration. Some candidates forget to upload or submit this certificate during counselling. Without it, the system may not recognize your ex-servicemen status, and you may be treated as a general category candidate. Always ensure this certificate is submitted.
Mistake 4: Filling in incorrect or incomplete college and course preferences. Your seat is allocated based on your preferences. If you do not fill in enough preferences or if you fill in preferences for colleges you do not want, you may get a seat you do not like or no seat at all. Think carefully about your preferences and fill in as many as possible.
Mistake 5: Not reporting to the allotted college on time. After you receive a seat allotment letter, you must report to the college within the specified dates and submit your original documents. If you do not report or if you submit documents late, your seat may be cancelled and given to another candidate.
- Do not assume this list means you have a seat — you must participate in counselling
- Register for counselling on time; missing the deadline means losing your chance
- Submit your ex-servicemen verification certificate during counselling registration
- Fill in your college and course preferences carefully and completely
- Report to your allotted college on time and submit original documents
