The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Board (OJEE) has published the Provisional State Merit List for MBBS and BDS admission for the 2026-27 academic session, following the completion of the 3rd phase registration. This merit list determines the ranking of candidates who have registered for the state-quota counselling (85% of seats in Odisha medical and dental colleges). All candidates who registered in the 3rd phase must check this list immediately to verify their rank, eligibility status, and whether they appear in the merit list. This is a critical document — your position on this list will determine your chances in the upcoming counselling rounds and seat allotment.
The provisional merit list for MBBS/BDS after 3rd phase registration is now live; check your rank and eligibility status immediately on the official OJEE portal.

Unlock My College ListWhat is this merit list?
This is the Provisional State Merit List published by OJEE for MBBS and BDS admissions under the state quota (85% of seats) for the 2026-27 academic year. It has been generated after the 3rd phase of registration closed. The list ranks all eligible candidates who registered in this phase in order of their NEET UG 2026 scores and other qualifying criteria set by Odisha.
The word 'provisional' means this list may be updated if any candidate's documents are found to be incomplete or if there are corrections to be made. However, this is the working list that will be used for the next phase of counselling and seat allotment. You must treat this as your official ranking for now.
Who should check this list?
Every candidate who registered for MBBS or BDS admission in the 3rd phase of Odisha's state-quota counselling must check this merit list. This includes candidates from all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, and any other category recognized by Odisha — as well as candidates with disabilities (PwD) if applicable.
If you registered in an earlier phase (1st or 2nd), you should also check this updated list to see if your rank has changed or if you remain in the same position. The list consolidates all registrations up to and including the 3rd phase.
What information will you find on the merit list?

Official 2023–2025 closing ranks and fees, matched to your rank.
The merit list contains your registration number, rank, NEET UG score, category, and eligibility status. It will show whether you are eligible for counselling and seat allotment, or if there are any issues with your registration or documents that need to be resolved.
The list is organized by rank — the highest-scoring eligible candidate appears first. Your position on this list directly affects which colleges and courses you will be offered in the counselling rounds. A higher rank gives you access to better-ranked colleges and your preferred course (MBBS or BDS).

What if your details are wrong or you don't appear on the list?

What happens next after the merit list?
After the merit list is finalized (and any objections are resolved), OJEE will announce the schedule for the next phase of counselling. This will include the choice-filling window, where you will rank colleges and courses in order of your preference, and the seat allotment process, where the system will assign you a seat based on your rank and choices.
Your rank on this merit list is your key to the entire counselling process. A higher rank means you get to choose first; a lower rank means you choose from what remains after higher-ranked candidates have selected. Keep checking the OJEE website for announcements about choice-filling dates, allotment dates, and joining deadlines.
Important: verify your category and eligibility status
When you check the merit list, pay close attention to the category shown against your name. This must match the category certificate you submitted during registration. If you registered as OBC, SC, or ST, the list will show this. If there is a mismatch, or if your category is shown as 'General' when you believe you should be in a reserved category, flag this immediately.
Also check your eligibility status. The list will indicate whether you are 'Eligible' or if there are any flags or issues. If you are marked as ineligible, the reason should be stated — this could be a missing document, a score below the cutoff, or a category-related issue. Do not ignore this; contact OJEE to understand and resolve it.
- Verify the category shown matches your submitted category certificate
- Check your eligibility status — it should say 'Eligible'
- If ineligible, note the reason and contact OJEE immediately
- If there is a mismatch, file an objection during the correction window
Key dates to remember
The merit list has been published as of 30 September 2026. OJEE will announce the next important dates — such as the choice-filling window, allotment date, and joining deadline — on its official website. Check the website regularly or subscribe to OJEE notifications so you do not miss any deadline.
Missing a deadline (choice-filling, allotment acceptance, joining) can result in the loss of your seat. Mark all announced dates on your calendar and set reminders.

What is the provisional merit list and why is it called 'provisional'?
The provisional merit list is the ranking of all candidates who registered for MBBS/BDS admission in Odisha's state-quota counselling up to and including the 3rd phase. It is called 'provisional' because OJEE may make corrections if any candidate's documents are found to be incomplete or incorrect. However, this is the working list that will be used for the next counselling round, so you must treat it as your official rank for now.
How do I find my name on the merit list?
Log in to the official OJEE portal using your registration number and password. Navigate to the Provisional Merit List section for MBBS/BDS 2026-27, and search for your name or registration number. Your entry will show your rank, NEET score, category, and eligibility status.
What if I don't see my name on the merit list even though I registered?
If you registered in the 3rd phase but do not appear on the merit list, contact OJEE support immediately with your registration number and proof of registration. OJEE will typically announce an objection or correction window — use this to formally report the issue. Do not wait; missing this window could exclude you from counselling.
Can my rank change after the merit list is published?
The rank shown on the provisional merit list is based on your NEET score and eligibility as of the 3rd phase registration deadline. Your rank will not change unless OJEE makes corrections due to document issues or other errors. However, if you registered in an earlier phase and your documents were incomplete, your rank may have been updated in this 3rd phase list.
What if my category is shown incorrectly on the merit list?
If the category shown on the merit list does not match your submitted category certificate, this is a serious issue. File an objection during the correction window announced by OJEE, providing your category certificate as proof. A wrong category can affect your eligibility for reserved seats, so resolve this immediately.
What does 'eligible' and 'ineligible' mean on the merit list?
'Eligible' means you meet all the requirements (NEET score, category, documents) and can participate in counselling and seat allotment. 'Ineligible' means there is an issue — such as a missing document, a score below the cutoff, or a category-related problem. If you are marked ineligible, the reason should be stated; contact OJEE to understand and resolve it.
When will the next counselling round happen after this merit list?
OJEE will announce the schedule for the next phase of counselling (choice-filling, allotment, and joining dates) on its official website. Check the website regularly or subscribe to notifications. Do not miss these dates — missing a deadline can result in the loss of your seat.
Does my rank on this merit list guarantee me a seat?
No. Your rank determines your priority in the counselling process. A higher rank means you get to choose first from available colleges and courses. However, whether you get a seat depends on your choices, the number of seats available, and how many higher-ranked candidates have already selected seats. You must participate in choice-filling and allotment to secure a seat.
What should I do if I find an error in my details on the merit list?
Note the error (name, score, category, or eligibility status) and contact OJEE support immediately with your registration number and supporting documents. OJEE will announce an objection or correction window — file a formal objection during this period. Keep all your registration documents, admit card, and NEET scorecard ready to support your claim.
Is this merit list final, or can it change?
This is a provisional merit list, which means OJEE may make corrections if documents are found to be incomplete or if errors are discovered. However, once the objection/correction window closes, the list will be finalized and used for counselling. Check the OJEE website for announcements about the correction window and the final merit list.
Check the provisional merit list on the official OJEE portal immediately using your registration credentials. Verify your rank, score, category, and eligibility status. If you find any errors or do not appear on the list, contact OJEE support and file an objection during the announced correction window. Keep checking the OJEE website for the next counselling schedule — choice-filling and allotment dates will be announced soon, and missing these deadlines will cost you your seat.
