The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Board (OJEE) has published the Provisional State Merit List for MBBS and BDS admission 2026-27 following the 2nd phase of registration. This list contains the merit ranks of all candidates who registered in the 2nd phase and are eligible for the 85% state-quota seats in Odisha medical and dental colleges. The merit list is the foundation for seat allotment in the next phase of counselling — your rank on this list determines which colleges and courses you are eligible to choose. If your name appears on this list, you must verify your details immediately and watch for the next counselling notification. If you believe there is an error in your rank or eligibility status, you must raise an objection within the time frame specified by OJEE.
The Odisha OJEE provisional merit list for MBBS/BDS 2nd phase registration is now live — check your rank immediately and report any errors before the objection deadline.
What is the Provisional State Merit List?
The Provisional State Merit List is OJEE's official ranking of all candidates who completed registration in the 2nd phase of Odisha's NEET UG counselling for MBBS and BDS courses. Your position on this list — your merit rank — is calculated based on your NEET UG 2026 score, category, and any applicable reservations or weightage under Odisha's admission rules.
This list is called 'provisional' because OJEE may make corrections or adjustments if errors are found during the objection period. Once objections are resolved and the list is finalized, it becomes the basis for seat allotment. Your rank on this list determines which colleges, courses, and seats you are eligible to choose during the next phase of counselling.
Who Should Check This List?
Every candidate who registered in the 2nd phase of Odisha NEET UG counselling for MBBS or BDS must check this merit list. This includes candidates applying for the 85% state-quota seats in Odisha medical and dental colleges.
If you completed your 2nd phase registration and submitted all required documents on time, your name should appear on this list. If you do not see your name, or if your details are incorrect, you must contact OJEE immediately or file an objection during the designated period.

What Information Will You Find on the List?
The merit list displays your merit rank, NEET UG score, category (General, OBC, SC, ST, or other as applicable), any applicable reservation or weightage, and your eligibility status for counselling. It also shows whether you are eligible for the 85% state-quota seats or any other quota category.
Carefully check that all information — your name, date of birth, category, score, and rank — matches your NEET UG registration and the documents you submitted during counselling registration. Any mismatch must be reported immediately.
What to Do If You Find an Error
If your name does not appear on the list, or if any of your details are incorrect (name, category, score, rank, or eligibility status), you must file an objection with OJEE within the time frame specified in the notice. Do not wait — objections filed after the deadline will not be considered.
To file an objection, log in to the OJEE portal, navigate to the objection section, and submit your complaint with supporting documents (such as your NEET UG admit card, category certificate, or other relevant proof). Clearly state what is wrong and provide evidence. OJEE will review your objection and issue a corrected merit list if your complaint is valid.
- Check the objection deadline in the OJEE notification
- Log in to the OJEE counselling portal
- Navigate to the objection/grievance section
- Submit your complaint with clear details of the error
- Attach supporting documents (NEET admit card, category certificate, etc.)
- Keep a record of your objection reference number
- Wait for OJEE's response and the corrected merit list
What Happens After the Merit List?
After the objection period closes and the merit list is finalized, OJEE will announce the next phase of counselling — typically seat allotment or choice-filling. In this phase, you will log in to the portal and select your preferred colleges and courses based on your merit rank and eligibility.
Your rank on the finalized merit list determines the order in which you can choose seats. Higher ranks get first choice. After all candidates have filled their choices, OJEE's computer system will allot seats based on your rank, your choices, and the availability of seats in each college and course.
Important Points to Remember
This is a provisional list — it may change if errors are found and corrected. Do not assume your rank is final until OJEE publishes the finalized merit list after the objection period.
Your merit rank is based on your NEET UG score and category. It is not the same as your all-India rank (AIR) from NEET UG — it is your rank among candidates in Odisha applying for state-quota seats.
If you are eligible for multiple categories (e.g., General and OBC), OJEE will rank you in the category that gives you the best rank. Check which category you have been ranked in.
Keep your login credentials safe and do not share them with anyone. OJEE will never ask for your password via email or phone.
Key Dates to Watch
The merit list has been published as of the date shown on the OJEE notification. OJEE will announce the objection deadline separately — this is typically a few days after the merit list is released. Mark this date in your calendar and file any objections before it closes.
After the objection period, OJEE will publish the finalized merit list and announce the dates for the next phase of counselling (choice-filling or seat allotment). Stay alert to the OJEE website and your registered email and phone number for these announcements.

What is the difference between the provisional and finalized merit list?
The provisional merit list is published first and may contain errors. Candidates can file objections if they find mistakes in their rank, category, or eligibility. After the objection period closes and OJEE reviews all complaints, a finalized merit list is published. The finalized list is used for seat allotment and cannot be changed further.
My name is not on the merit list. What should I do?
If your name does not appear, it could mean your 2nd phase registration was incomplete, your documents were not accepted, or there is a system error. Log in to the OJEE portal and check your registration status. If your registration was complete, file an objection immediately with OJEE, attaching proof of your registration and all submitted documents.
How is my merit rank calculated?
Your merit rank is calculated based on your NEET UG 2026 score, your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.), and any applicable reservations or weightage under Odisha's admission rules. Candidates are ranked in order of their NEET score within their category. OJEE's merit list shows your rank among all candidates in Odisha applying for state-quota seats.
Can I change my category on the merit list?
No, your category on the merit list is based on the category certificate you submitted during registration. If you believe your category is wrong, you must file an objection with OJEE and provide the correct category certificate. Do not attempt to change your category after registration — it will not be accepted.
What if my NEET score on the merit list does not match my NEET admit card?
This is a serious error. File an objection with OJEE immediately, attaching your NEET UG admit card and the official NEET result document. OJEE will investigate and correct your score if the error is confirmed. Do not proceed with counselling until this is resolved.
When will the next phase of counselling begin?
OJEE will announce the dates for the next phase (choice-filling or seat allotment) after the objection period closes and the finalized merit list is published. Watch the OJEE website and your registered email and phone number for this announcement. Do not miss the deadline.
Is this merit list only for MBBS, or does it include BDS too?
This provisional merit list covers both MBBS and BDS admission for 2026-27. Your rank applies to both courses. During choice-filling, you can select which course (MBBS or BDS) and which colleges you prefer, based on your rank and eligibility.
What does '85% state quota' mean, and does it affect my rank?
The 85% state quota means that 85% of seats in Odisha medical and dental colleges are reserved for candidates who are domiciled in Odisha (or meet other state eligibility criteria). This merit list is for state-quota candidates. Your rank on this list determines your eligibility for these 85% seats. The remaining 15% seats are filled through other quotas (central, management, etc.) and have separate merit lists.
Can I download a copy of the merit list for my records?
Yes, you can log in to the OJEE portal, view your entry on the merit list, and download or print it. Keep a copy for your records and for future reference during choice-filling and seat allotment.
What should I do if I see someone else's name on the merit list with my details?
This is a serious data error. File an objection with OJEE immediately, providing your NEET UG admit card and registration details as proof. OJEE will investigate and correct the error. Do not ignore this — it could affect your counselling eligibility.
Check the Provisional State Merit List on the OJEE counselling portal immediately using your NEET UG application number and password. Verify all your details — name, category, score, and rank — against your NEET admit card and registration documents. If you find any error, file an objection with OJEE before the deadline (watch for the objection deadline announcement on the OJEE website). Once the finalized merit list is published, the next phase of counselling will begin — stay alert to OJEE notifications for choice-filling or seat allotment dates.
