The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Board has released the Physical Stray Vacancy Round allotment for MBBS and BDS admission for the 2026-27 academic year. This round fills seats that remained vacant after the main counselling rounds. A total of 14 candidates have been allotted to government and private medical and dental colleges across Odisha. If your name appears on this list, you must report to your allotted college immediately with your signed allotment-cum-admission letter. This is a final allotment — failure to report on time may result in forfeiture of your seat.
If your NEET application number appears in this list, you have been allotted a seat in an Odisha MBBS or BDS college and must report to the institution immediately with your signed allotment letter.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the Physical Stray Vacancy Round?
The Physical Stray Vacancy Round is the final round of counselling conducted by OJEE to fill any seats that remain empty after the main counselling rounds and previous vacancy rounds. These are genuine vacancies that arise when allotted candidates do not report to their colleges, withdraw from their seats, or do not complete the admission process.
This round is called 'Physical' because it is based on actual, confirmed vacancies at colleges — not projected or estimated ones. It is the last opportunity for candidates to secure a seat in an Odisha medical or dental college for the 2026-27 session. Once this round is complete, no further allotments are made.
Who Has Been Allotted in This Round?
The allotment list contains 14 candidates who have been selected for MBBS and BDS courses. The list shows each candidate's NEET application number, NEET rank, state rank, category, the college allotted, the course (MBBS or BDS), and the allotment status (marked as 'Fresh Allotment').
To find your name, search for your NEET application number in the table. The columns show: your NEET rank (all-India ranking), your state rank (ranking within Odisha), your category (OPNO for Open, EBNO for Economically Backward), and the exact college and course you have been allotted.
- OPNO = Open category (no reservation)
- EBNO = Economically Backward category (state-level reservation)
- Fresh Allotment = first-time allotment in this round
Colleges and Seats in This Allotment
The 14 allotted seats are distributed across four institutions: SCB Dental College Cuttack (1 BDS seat), HITECH MCH Bhubaneswar (1 MBBS seat), DRIEMS Institute of Health Sciences & Hospital Hairapari (3 MBBS seats), and HITECH Dental College Bhubaneswar (9 BDS seats).
Most of the vacancies in this round are in BDS (dental) courses — 10 out of 14 seats. Only 4 seats are for MBBS. This reflects the pattern of vacancies that emerged after earlier rounds. All colleges listed are recognized institutions approved for NEET UG admission in Odisha.
- SCB Dental College, Cuttack — 1 BDS seat
- HITECH MCH, Bhubaneswar — 1 MBBS seat
- DRIEMS Institute of Health Sciences & Hospital, Hairapari — 3 MBBS seats
- HITECH Dental College, Bhubaneswar — 9 BDS seats
How to Check If You Are Allotted
Search the allotment table for your NEET application number. Your application number is the 12-digit number you received when you registered for NEET UG 2026. It is printed on your NEET admit card and all correspondence from the National Testing Agency (NTA).

If your application number appears in the list, read across that row to find: your NEET rank, state rank, category, the name of your allotted college, and the course (MBBS or BDS). The 'Remarks' column will show 'Fresh Allotment', confirming this is your first allotment in this round.
If your application number does not appear, you have not been allotted in this round. No further rounds are expected after this, so you will not receive a seat through OJEE counselling for 2026-27.
What You Must Do Immediately After Allotment
The notice explicitly states: 'All allotted candidates must report to the respective institutions immediately by submitting a copy of the allotment-cum-admission letter duly signed by OJEE authority.' This is not optional — reporting is mandatory to confirm your admission.
You must obtain your allotment-cum-admission letter from OJEE (either by downloading it from the OJEE portal or collecting it in person from the OJEE office). The letter must be signed by the OJEE authority. You then take a copy of this signed letter to your allotted college and submit it to the admission office.
Do not delay. The notice says 'immediately' — this means within 1–2 days of the allotment release. Colleges may set their own reporting deadlines, and if you miss it, your seat may be cancelled and offered to another candidate. Contact your college directly to confirm the exact reporting date and time, and the documents you need to bring.

- Take a copy to your allotted college's admission office

Important: This Is Your Final Allotment
The Physical Stray Vacancy Round is the last round of counselling for NEET UG 2026 in Odisha. No further rounds will be conducted after this. If you are allotted, this is your final seat. If you are not allotted, you will not receive a seat through OJEE counselling.
If you have been allotted but do not report to your college, your seat will be cancelled. The college will then offer it to the next candidate on the waiting list (if one exists). You cannot claim the seat later or request a change of college after you have been allotted.
If you are allotted but wish to decline the seat (for example, because you have secured admission elsewhere or wish to pursue a different course), you must formally withdraw in writing to OJEE and your college. Do not simply fail to report — this may affect your future eligibility or result in a fine.

- Reporting is mandatory to confirm your seat
- Failure to report = automatic cancellation of your seat
- You cannot change your allotted college after allotment

How do I know if I have been allotted in this round?
Search the allotment table for your 12-digit NEET application number. If it appears in the list, you have been allotted. The row will show your NEET rank, state rank, category, allotted college, and course. If your application number is not in the table, you have not been allotted in this round.
What does 'Physical Stray Vacancy Round' mean?
It is the final round of counselling to fill seats that remained empty after earlier rounds. These are real, confirmed vacancies at colleges. It is called 'Physical' because the vacancies are based on actual non-reporting or withdrawal by earlier allottees, not estimates. No further rounds will be held after this.
What must I do immediately after I see my name in the allotment list?
You must obtain your signed allotment-cum-admission letter from OJEE and report to your allotted college in person as soon as possible — ideally within 1–2 days. Bring the signed letter and all required documents (NEET scorecard, certificates, Aadhaar, category certificate if applicable, and photographs). Failure to report on time may result in cancellation of your seat.
Can I change my allotted college or course after allotment?
No. Once you are allotted, the college and course are final. You cannot request a change. If you wish to decline the seat, you must formally withdraw in writing to both OJEE and your college. Do not simply fail to report, as this may affect your future eligibility.
What documents do I need to bring when I report to my college?
Bring your NEET admit card, NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th certificates and mark sheets, Aadhaar card, category certificate (if applicable), income certificate (if EBC category), medical fitness certificate (if required), and 4–6 passport-size photographs. Contact your college in advance to confirm the exact list, as requirements may vary.
Is this the last round of counselling for NEET UG 2026 in Odisha?
Yes. The Physical Stray Vacancy Round is the final round. No further counselling rounds will be conducted after this. If you are not allotted in this round, you will not receive a seat through OJEE counselling for 2026-27.
What are the fee amounts and payment deadlines?
The notice does not specify fees or deadlines. You must contact your allotted college directly to learn the exact fees for your course, payment method, and deadline. Fees vary between government and private colleges and between MBBS and BDS. Payment is usually required at the time of admission.
What does OPNO and EBNO mean in the allotment list?
OPNO = Open category (no reservation). EBNO = Economically Backward category (state-level reservation for candidates with annual family income below ₹8 lakh). Your category determines which seats you are eligible for and affects your ranking in the merit list.
What happens if I do not report to my college after allotment?
Your seat will be automatically cancelled. The college will then offer it to the next candidate on the waiting list. You cannot claim the seat later or request a change. Always report on time to confirm your admission.
How do I contact OJEE or my allotted college for more information?
Visit the official OJEE website (ojee.gov.in) for OJEE contact details. For college-specific questions, contact your allotted college's admission office directly — most colleges have a helpline or email address on their website. Always verify information from official sources only.
Can I get a seat in a different college if I am not satisfied with my allotment?
No. Once allotted, you cannot request a change of college. Your allotment is final. If you wish to decline and not pursue admission in Odisha, you must formally withdraw in writing. There are no further rounds after this, so declining means you will not receive a seat through OJEE counselling.
What is the difference between NEET Rank and State Rank shown in the allotment list?
NEET Rank is your all-India ranking in NEET UG 2026 (compared to all candidates across India). State Rank is your ranking among NEET candidates in Odisha only. State Rank is used for allotment of state-quota seats (85% of seats in Odisha colleges). A lower rank in both cases means better performance.
If your NEET application number appears in this allotment list, you have been selected for a seat in an Odisha MBBS or BDS college for 2026-27. Obtain your signed allotment-cum-admission letter from OJEE immediately and report to your allotted college in person within 1–2 days with all required documents. This is the final round of counselling — failure to report on time will result in cancellation of your seat. Contact your college directly to confirm the exact reporting date, time, and any additional requirements.
