The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Board (OJEE) has published the provisional state merit list for the 2nd round of MBBS and BDS counselling under Odisha's 85% state-quota seats. This list shows which candidates are eligible to participate in the 2nd round of seat allocation based on their NEET UG 2026 scores and category. If your name appears on this list, you are qualified to proceed to the next stage of counselling. You must check the official OJEE website immediately to verify your rank, category, and eligibility status.
The 2nd round MBBS/BDS state merit list is now live on odishajee.com — check it immediately to confirm your eligibility and rank for seat allocation.
What is the 2nd Round State Merit List?
The state merit list is the official ranking of all candidates who have qualified for the 2nd round of MBBS and BDS counselling under Odisha's 85% state-quota seats. This list is prepared by OJEE based on your NEET UG 2026 score, category (General, OBC, SC, ST), and other eligibility criteria set by the state.
The 2nd round is the second phase of seat allocation in Odisha's counselling process. Candidates who were not allotted a seat in the 1st round, or who did not accept their 1st round allotment, are eligible to participate in the 2nd round. This list determines the order in which candidates will be offered seats during the 2nd round counselling process.
Who Should Check This List?
Every candidate who appeared for NEET UG 2026 and applied for Odisha state-quota MBBS or BDS counselling should check this merit list. Your appearance on the list confirms that you meet the basic eligibility requirements and are qualified to participate in the 2nd round of seat allocation.
If your name does not appear on the list, it means you are not eligible for the 2nd round under the state quota. This could be because you did not meet the minimum qualifying score, your category certificate was rejected, or you did not complete the registration process correctly. In such cases, contact OJEE immediately to clarify your status.
How to Access the Merit List

What Your Rank Means
Your rank on the state merit list determines the order in which you will be offered seats during the 2nd round counselling. A lower rank number means you will be called earlier in the process and will have a better choice of colleges and courses. A higher rank number means you will be called later, and the available seats may be more limited by the time it is your turn.
Your rank is based on your NEET UG 2026 score, your category (General, OBC, SC, ST), and any applicable state-level preferences or reservations. Candidates are ranked separately within each category, so your rank as an OBC candidate, for example, is different from your rank as a General candidate.
Important: This is a Provisional List
The merit list published now is marked as 'provisional,' which means it is subject to verification and may be updated. OJEE may make corrections if errors are found in the data, if documents are rejected upon final review, or if candidates are found to be ineligible after verification.
Do not assume your position is final. Continue to monitor the OJEE website for any updates, corrections, or announcements. If you believe there is an error in your rank or eligibility status, contact OJEE through the official channels provided on their website as soon as possible.
Next Steps After Checking the List
Once you have confirmed that your name appears on the 2nd round merit list, the next step is to wait for the official announcement of the 2nd round counselling schedule. OJEE will publish the dates for choice filling, seat allocation, and reporting to colleges. Mark these dates on your calendar and ensure you do not miss any deadlines.
Prepare your original documents (mark sheet, category certificate, domicile certificate, etc.) and keep them ready for submission at the time of reporting to your allotted college. Review the list of colleges and courses available under the state quota so you are prepared to make informed choices during the 2nd round counselling process.

What If Your Name Is Not on the List?
If you do not see your name on the 2nd round state merit list, do not panic immediately. First, double-check that you are looking at the correct list (MBBS/BDS, 2nd round, state quota) and that you have searched correctly using your roll number or name.
If you are certain your name should be on the list but it is not, contact OJEE's help desk or counselling office immediately. Provide your NEET UG roll number, name, and category. There may be a technical issue, a data entry error, or a problem with your application that can be resolved. Do not wait — contact them as soon as possible to avoid missing the 2nd round counselling window.
Understanding Your Category on the List
The merit list shows your category as recognized by Odisha state: General, OBC (Other Backward Class), SC (Scheduled Caste), or ST (Scheduled Tribe). Your category determines which seats you are eligible for and how your rank is calculated relative to other candidates in your category.
If your category is shown incorrectly on the merit list, this is a serious issue that must be corrected immediately. Contact OJEE with proof of your correct category (category certificate, if applicable) and request a correction. An incorrect category can result in you being offered seats you are not eligible for, or missing seats you should have been offered.
State Quota vs. Other Quotas
This merit list covers only the 85% state-quota MBBS and BDS seats in Odisha. These are seats that Odisha state fills through its own counselling process and reserves for candidates who meet the state's eligibility criteria (typically including domicile or residency requirements).
The remaining 15% of seats are typically filled through other processes (such as central counselling, management quota, or NRI quota) and are not part of this state merit list. If you are also eligible for other quota seats, you may receive separate communications about those processes.
