The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Board has released the official list of physically challenged (PWbD) candidates who have been found eligible for MBBS and BDS admission in Odisha for the 2026-27 academic year. These 70 candidates attended the Physical Disability Assessment Board (PC Board) at SCB Medical College & Hospital, Kataka, and have been cleared as eligible by the Medical Assessment Board. This list is critical for PWbD candidates seeking admission to state-quota MBBS/BDS seats in Odisha — if your name appears here, you are cleared to proceed to the next stage of counselling. The list includes candidates across multiple medical specialties and departments, reflecting the range of positions available.
If your NEET UG application number appears on this list with an 'ELIGIBLE' remark, you have cleared the Medical Assessment Board and are qualified to participate in Odisha MBBS/BDS counselling for 2026-27.
What is this list and why does it matter?
This is the official eligibility list of physically challenged (PWbD) candidates released by OJEE for MBBS and BDS admission in Odisha for 2026-27. The list contains 70 candidates who have successfully completed the Physical Disability Assessment Board (PC Board) evaluation at SCB Medical College & Hospital, Kataka, and have been declared eligible by the Medical Assessment Board.
For PWbD candidates in Odisha, this list is a gate-keeping document. Being on this list means you have cleared the medical and disability assessment required by the state and are now eligible to participate in the counselling process for MBBS/BDS seats reserved under the disability quota. Without your name on this list, you cannot proceed to counselling even if you have a valid NEET UG score.
The list is organized by serial number and includes your NEET UG application number, your all-India NEET rank, the department or specialty you have been assessed for, and your eligibility status (all marked 'ELIGIBLE'). This information will be used during counselling to match you with available seats.
Who is on this list?
The list includes 70 physically challenged candidates who have been assessed and found eligible. These candidates span multiple medical departments and specialties, reflecting the range of positions available in Odisha's MBBS and BDS colleges.
The departments represented on the list are: E.N.T (Ear, Nose & Throat) — 7 candidates; Haematology — 16 candidates; Neurology — 4 candidates; Ophthalmology — 7 candidates; Orthopaedic — 35 candidates; and Psychiatry — 1 candidate. The high number of Orthopaedic positions reflects the nature of disability assessments and the suitability of certain specialties for candidates with specific physical challenges.
- E.N.T: 7 candidates
- Haematology: 16 candidates
- Neurology: 4 candidates
- Ophthalmology: 7 candidates
- Orthopaedic: 35 candidates
- Psychiatry: 1 candidate
How to check if your name is on the list
To verify your eligibility, locate your NEET UG application number in the list. Your application number is the 12-digit number you received when you registered for NEET UG 2026. It typically begins with '2604' for Odisha candidates.
Once you find your application number, check the corresponding row. You will see your all-India NEET rank, the department you have been assessed for, and the remark column. If the remark says 'ELIGIBLE', you are cleared to proceed. All candidates on this list have been marked 'ELIGIBLE', so if your name appears, you are good to go.
If your application number does NOT appear on this list, it means either you did not attend the PC Board assessment at SCB Medical College, or you were not found eligible by the Medical Assessment Board. In that case, contact OJEE immediately to understand the reason and explore your options.
What does 'eligible' mean?
Being marked 'ELIGIBLE' on this list means the Medical Assessment Board at SCB Medical College has reviewed your physical disability and determined that you meet the criteria for admission to MBBS/BDS courses in Odisha. It confirms that your disability has been verified and documented, and that you are fit to pursue medical education in the specialty or department listed against your name.
This eligibility is specific to the department shown — for example, if you are listed under 'Orthopaedic', it means the board has assessed your suitability for that specialty. This does not mean you will be admitted to that specialty; it means you are eligible to participate in counselling, and your seat allocation will depend on your NEET rank, the availability of seats, and the counselling process.
What happens next after this list?
After this eligibility list is released, OJEE will announce the counselling schedule for PWbD candidates. You will need to register on the OJEE counselling portal, fill in your choices of colleges and courses (MBBS or BDS), and participate in the seat allocation process.
The counselling process for PWbD candidates typically follows the same rounds as general counselling — initial allotment, mop-up rounds, and stray vacancy rounds. Your seat will be allocated based on your NEET all-India rank, the availability of PWbD-reserved seats, and your preferences.
Keep checking the OJEE website (odishajee.com) for announcements about counselling dates, registration deadlines, and the counselling schedule. Missing a deadline can result in loss of your seat.
Understanding the department column
The 'Department' column on this list shows the medical specialty or department that the Medical Assessment Board has assessed you for. This is NOT your final course assignment — it is the department under which your disability assessment was conducted and for which you have been found eligible.
For example, if you are listed under 'Orthopaedic', it means the board assessed your physical condition in relation to the demands of orthopaedic medicine and found you suitable. During counselling, you will be offered seats in MBBS or BDS courses at colleges in Odisha, and the department column helps the board track which candidates have been assessed for which specialties.
Do not assume that being listed under a particular department means you will study that specialty. Your actual course (MBBS or BDS) and college will be determined during counselling based on your rank and preferences.
NEET rank and seat allocation
Your all-India NEET rank (shown in the list) is crucial for seat allocation. During counselling, seats are allocated in order of merit — candidates with better (lower) NEET ranks are offered seats first. Your rank determines your position in the queue for PWbD-reserved seats.
For example, if you have an all-India NEET rank of 49,689 (the best rank on this list), you will be considered before a candidate with a rank of 1,194,177. However, seat allocation also depends on the number of PWbD-reserved seats available, your college and course preferences, and the counselling round.
Keep your NEET rank and application number handy during counselling registration. You will need both to log in to the counselling portal and to track your seat allocation.
Important: This is NOT a merit list or admission letter
This list confirms only that you are eligible to participate in counselling. It is NOT a merit list, a cutoff list, or an admission letter. Being on this list does not guarantee you a seat — it only means you have cleared the medical assessment and can now compete for available PWbD-reserved seats during counselling.
Your final seat allocation will depend on multiple factors: your NEET rank, the number of PWbD seats available at each college, your preferences, and the counselling round. You may or may not get a seat, depending on these factors. Admission is confirmed only after you have been allotted a seat during counselling and have completed the admission formalities at your allotted college.
What if your name is NOT on the list?
If your NEET UG application number does not appear on this list, it means you were either not assessed by the PC Board at SCB Medical College, or you were not found eligible by the Medical Assessment Board. This is a serious issue that requires immediate action.
Contact OJEE immediately to find out why you were not assessed or why you were not found eligible. You may be able to request a reassessment or appeal the decision. Do not wait — the counselling schedule may be announced soon, and you need to resolve this before counselling begins.
If you believe you should have been assessed but were not, check whether you registered for the PC Board assessment when it was announced. If you missed the registration or the assessment date, you may need to contact OJEE to explore alternative options or late registration possibilities.
Documents and information to keep ready
Before counselling begins, gather and organize the following documents and information: your NEET UG admit card and score card; your NEET application number and all-India rank (both shown on this list); your disability certificate issued by the competent authority; your 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates; your caste certificate (if applicable); your domicile certificate for Odisha; and any other documents specified by OJEE in the counselling notification.
Keep digital copies of all documents on your phone or email, and have printed copies ready. During counselling registration and seat acceptance, you may need to upload or present these documents quickly. Missing or incorrect documents can delay your admission or result in seat cancellation.
Also note down your NEET rank and application number — you will need these to log in to the counselling portal and to track your seat allocation status.
- NEET UG admit card and score card
- NEET application number and all-India rank
- Disability certificate from competent authority
- 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates
- Caste certificate (if applicable)
- Odisha domicile certificate
- Any other documents specified by OJEE
Key dates and next steps
This eligibility list was released on 13 August 2026. OJEE will now announce the counselling schedule, which will include the registration deadline, the choice-filling deadline, and the seat allocation dates. These dates are critical — missing any deadline can result in loss of your seat or exclusion from that counselling round.
Watch the OJEE website (odishajee.com) and your registered email and phone number for announcements. OJEE typically sends notifications via email and SMS, so ensure your contact details are correct in your NEET application.
Once counselling dates are announced, register immediately on the OJEE counselling portal, fill in your college and course preferences carefully, and submit your choices before the deadline. Do not delay — seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis within each rank bracket.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
How do I know if I am on the PWbD eligible list?
Find your NEET UG application number (a 12-digit number starting with '2604' for Odisha) in the list. If it appears with an 'ELIGIBLE' remark, you are on the list and cleared for counselling. If your application number is not on the list, you were either not assessed or not found eligible by the Medical Assessment Board.
What does being on this list mean for my admission?
Being on this list means you have cleared the medical assessment and are eligible to participate in OJEE counselling for PWbD-reserved MBBS/BDS seats. It does NOT guarantee a seat — your final admission depends on your NEET rank, available seats, your preferences, and the counselling process.
Why is my name not on the list even though I have a NEET score?
If your name is not on the list, it means you either did not attend the PC Board assessment at SCB Medical College, or you were not found eligible by the Medical Assessment Board. Contact OJEE immediately to find out the reason and explore your options, such as requesting a reassessment or appeal.
What does the 'Department' column mean? Does it mean I will study that specialty?
The Department column shows the medical specialty under which the Medical Assessment Board assessed your disability. It does NOT mean you will study that specialty. Your actual course (MBBS or BDS) and college will be determined during counselling based on your rank and preferences.
How important is my NEET rank for seat allocation?
Your NEET rank is very important. Seats are allocated in order of merit — candidates with better (lower) ranks are offered seats first. However, seat allocation also depends on the number of PWbD seats available, your preferences, and the counselling round. A good rank improves your chances but does not guarantee a seat.
When will counselling begin, and what do I need to do?
OJEE will announce the counselling schedule separately. Once announced, you must register on the OJEE counselling portal, fill in your college and course preferences, and submit your choices before the deadline. Watch the OJEE website and your email/SMS for announcements — missing a deadline can result in loss of your seat.
What documents do I need for counselling?
You will need your NEET admit card and score card, disability certificate from the competent authority, 10th and 12th certificates, caste certificate (if applicable), Odisha domicile certificate, and any other documents specified by OJEE. Keep both digital and printed copies ready.
Is this list the same as a merit list or cutoff list?
No. This is an eligibility list confirming that you have cleared the medical assessment. It is NOT a merit list or cutoff list. A merit list would rank candidates by score; a cutoff list would show the minimum rank required for each college. This list only confirms your eligibility to participate in counselling.
Can I appeal if I was not found eligible?
The notice does not specify an appeal process. Contact OJEE immediately to understand why you were not found eligible and to ask about the possibility of reassessment or appeal. Do not wait — act quickly before counselling begins.
What if I lose my NEET application number?
Your NEET application number is shown on your NEET admit card and score card. If you have lost these, contact the NEET authorities (NTA) to request a duplicate. You will need your application number to register for counselling, so retrieve it as soon as possible.
If your name appears on this list with an 'ELIGIBLE' remark, congratulations — you have cleared the Medical Assessment Board and are qualified for OJEE counselling. Immediately gather all required documents (NEET score card, disability certificate, domicile certificate, caste certificate if applicable, and 10th/12th certificates), note your NEET rank and application number, and watch the OJEE website (odishajee.com) for the counselling schedule announcement. Once counselling dates are announced, register promptly on the OJEE portal, fill in your preferences carefully, and submit before the deadline. If your name is NOT on the list, contact OJEE urgently to find out why and to explore your options. Do not delay — counselling deadlines are strict, and missing them can cost you your seat.
