What is this notice about?
This is the official announcement from OJEE (Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Board) that counselling for MBBS and BDS admission in Odisha is beginning. The notice confirms that all NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates from Odisha are eligible to apply for state quota seats in government and private medical colleges in the state.
The admission process will follow the NEET 2026 merit list and Odisha government regulations. This is not a result or allotment — it is the opening of the registration portal where candidates must enter their details, choose colleges and courses, and lock in their preferences before the counselling algorithm runs.
Who is eligible to register?
You are eligible if you have qualified in NEET UG 2026 and are a state candidate of Odisha. The notice does not define 'state candidate' in detail, but typically this means you have studied in Odisha schools or meet the state's domicile criteria. If you are unsure whether you qualify as an Odisha state candidate, contact OJEE directly before registering.
The notice confirms that admission is for MBBS and BDS programmes only, for the 2026-27 academic session. Candidates are being admitted to state quota seats — these are the 85% of seats in government colleges reserved for candidates from that state under NEET UG rules.
- Must have qualified NEET UG 2026
- Must be a state candidate of Odisha (domicile/residency criteria apply)
- Seeking admission to MBBS or BDS only
Which colleges are included?
Admission is offered to MBBS and BDS seats in three types of institutions: government medical colleges in Odisha, Hi-Tech colleges (government-aided or government institutions with advanced facilities), and Driems Medical, which is a private medical college. The exact list of colleges, their seat counts, and course availability will be provided in the detailed counselling schedule and instructions on the OJEE website.
Not all colleges may have both MBBS and BDS seats, and seat availability varies by college. You will see the full list and seat matrix when you log into the counselling portal.
- Government medical colleges in Odisha
- Hi-Tech colleges
- Driems Medical (private college)

Once the merit list is out, counselling will proceed in rounds. In each round, candidates are called in merit order to choose colleges and courses.
