The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Board has released the results of the medical assessment conducted by the Medical Assessment Board for Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD) candidates on 08-09-2026 at SCB Medical College & Hospital, Kataka. This assessment is a mandatory step in the NEET UG 2026 counselling process for the 2nd round of admissions to MBBS and BDS courses in Odisha. Out of 11 candidates who attended the assessment, 9 have been declared eligible and 2 have been marked as not eligible under the PwBD category. If your name appears on this list, your eligibility status determines whether you can proceed to seat allotment in the next phase of counselling.
If you are a PwBD candidate and your name appears as ELIGIBLE on this list, you can proceed to the next stage of counselling; if marked NOT ELIGIBLE, you may lose your PwBD category reservation and your case may be reviewed under general merit.
What is this assessment and why does it matter?
The Medical Assessment Board evaluation is a mandatory medical examination for all candidates who have applied under the Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD) category in Odisha's NEET UG counselling. This assessment determines whether a candidate's disability meets the criteria set by the government for reservation and special consideration in medical college admissions.
The assessment was conducted on 08-09-2026 at SCB Medical College & Hospital, Kataka, for the 2nd round of counselling in the 2026-27 admission session. The board examines medical reports, disability certificates, and the candidate's functional limitations to decide eligibility. This is not a pass-or-fail exam — it is a verification process to confirm that the disability claimed in the application is genuine and meets the benchmark disability criteria.
Your result on this list directly affects your seat allotment. If you are marked ELIGIBLE, you retain your PwBD category reservation and can compete for seats reserved for PwBD candidates. If marked NOT ELIGIBLE, you lose the PwBD reservation and your application will be processed under general merit based on your NEET rank alone.
Understanding the results: What ELIGIBLE and NOT ELIGIBLE mean
ELIGIBLE: This remark means the Medical Assessment Board has verified your disability and confirmed that you meet the benchmark disability criteria set by the government. You are now eligible to compete for seats reserved under the PwBD category in Odisha's MBBS and BDS colleges. Your application will proceed to the next stage of counselling with your PwBD reservation intact.
NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER PwBD CATEGORY: This remark means the Medical Assessment Board has found that your disability does not meet the benchmark criteria for PwBD reservation, or the assessment could not confirm the disability as claimed. You will NOT be able to use the PwBD category reservation. However, this does not mean you cannot get admission — your application will be processed under general merit based on your NEET All India Rank (AIR). You will compete with all other general-category candidates for unreserved seats.
Two candidates on this list (Application Nos. 260410730837 and 260410950131, both applying for Ophthalmology) have been marked NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER PwBD CATEGORY. These candidates should note that they will now be considered under general merit and their eligibility for admission will depend on their NEET rank and the cutoff for their chosen course.
Who attended the assessment and what were the results?
A total of 11 PwBD candidates attended the medical assessment on 08-09-2026. The list below shows each candidate's NEET application number, their NEET All India Rank (AIR), the medical specialty (department) they applied for, and their eligibility status. Note that one candidate (Application No. 260411577965) has no AIR listed — this may indicate a data entry issue or a special circumstance; such candidates should contact OJEE directly for clarification.

What happens next if you are ELIGIBLE?
If your name appears on this list with an ELIGIBLE remark, you have cleared the medical assessment and can now proceed to the seat allotment stage of counselling. OJEE will use this assessment result to confirm your PwBD category status when generating the merit list and allotting seats in the next phase.
You must continue to monitor the OJEE counselling portal (https://ojee.nic.in) for announcements about the next round of counselling, seat allotment dates, and document verification schedules. Keep your NEET application number, password, and all original documents (disability certificate, medical reports, NEET admit card, mark sheet, etc.) ready for the next stage.
Your eligibility is now confirmed for the department you applied for (or both departments, if you applied for two). When seats are allotted, you will be ranked among other PwBD candidates based on your NEET All India Rank, and seats reserved for PwBD candidates will be offered to you if your rank falls within the cutoff.
What happens next if you are NOT ELIGIBLE?
If you have been marked NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER PwBD CATEGORY, your PwBD reservation has been cancelled. You will now be considered under general merit for seat allotment. This is a significant change — you will compete with all other general-category candidates for unreserved seats, not just with other PwBD candidates.
You have the right to appeal or seek clarification on this decision. Contact the OJEE office or the Medical Assessment Board immediately to understand the specific reason for the ineligibility decision. Some candidates may be able to provide additional medical evidence or request a re-assessment. The notice does not specify an appeal deadline, so contact OJEE urgently to ask about the appeal process and any time limits.
If you do not appeal or if your appeal is rejected, your application will proceed to seat allotment based on your NEET All India Rank under general merit. Your chances of getting a seat will depend on your rank and the availability of unreserved seats in your chosen course and college.
Important: Check your application number carefully
This list contains 11 candidates' results. To find your result, locate your NEET (UG) Application Number in the second column of the table. Your application number is the unique 12-digit number you received when you registered for NEET UG counselling with OJEE — it is NOT your NEET roll number or your NEET All India Rank.
If your application number does NOT appear on this list, it means either (a) you did not attend the medical assessment on 08-09-2026, (b) your application was not processed for PwBD assessment, or (c) there is an administrative error. In any of these cases, contact OJEE immediately with your application number and NEET roll number to clarify your status. Do not assume you are ineligible — follow up with the authority.
If your application number appears but with a blank or missing AIR (like Application No. 260411577965), contact OJEE to confirm your rank and ensure your record is complete before the next stage of counselling.
Key dates and next steps
Medical Assessment Date: 08-09-2026 (already completed).
Assessment Results Released: 10-09-2026 (this notice).
Next Stage: OJEE will announce the date for the next round of counselling, seat allotment, and document verification. Watch the OJEE website (https://ojee.nic.in) and your registered email and mobile number for updates. The notice does not specify when the next round will begin, so check the portal daily.
Action Required Now: If you are on this list, verify your result immediately. If you are ELIGIBLE, prepare your documents for the next stage. If you are NOT ELIGIBLE, contact OJEE to understand the reason and explore your options (appeal, re-assessment, or proceeding under general merit).
Common mistakes and traps to avoid
Confusing your NEET Application Number with your NEET Roll Number or AIR: Your NEET Application Number is the 12-digit number assigned by OJEE during counselling registration. Your NEET Roll Number is from the NEET exam itself. Your NEET All India Rank (AIR) is your score-based rank. Make sure you are looking at the correct number when searching the list.
Assuming you are ineligible if your name is not on the list: If your name does not appear, it does not automatically mean you are ineligible. It may mean you did not attend the assessment, your application was not processed, or there is a data entry error. Contact OJEE before giving up.
Not appealing if marked NOT ELIGIBLE: If you believe the assessment decision is wrong, you have the right to appeal. The notice does not specify an appeal deadline, so contact OJEE immediately to ask about the process and any time limits. Do not wait — deadlines in counselling are strict.
Ignoring the next stage announcements: After this assessment, OJEE will announce the next round of counselling and seat allotment dates. If you miss these announcements, you may miss the deadline to participate. Set a reminder to check the OJEE portal every few days.
Departments and specialties on this list
The candidates on this list have applied for the following medical specialties: ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat), Haematology (blood disorders), Ophthalmology (eye care), and Orthopaedics (bone and joint surgery). Note that one candidate (Application No. 260411932990) has applied for both Orthopaedics and Haematology, meaning they are open to being allotted a seat in either specialty.
The two candidates marked NOT ELIGIBLE both applied for Ophthalmology. This does not mean Ophthalmology is not available for PwBD candidates — it means these two specific candidates did not meet the assessment criteria. Other PwBD candidates may still be eligible for Ophthalmology seats if they pass the assessment in future rounds.
How to contact OJEE if you have questions
If your name is on this list and you have questions about your result, or if your name is NOT on the list and you believe it should be, contact the OJEE office. The notice does not provide a specific contact number or email, but you can reach OJEE through its official website at https://ojee.nic.in. Look for a 'Contact Us' or 'Grievance' section.
When you contact OJEE, have the following information ready: your NEET (UG) Application Number, your NEET Roll Number, your name, and your date of birth. Explain your issue clearly and ask for a written response. Keep a record of your communication for future reference.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
What is the Medical Assessment Board and why did I have to attend it?
The Medical Assessment Board is a panel of medical professionals appointed by OJEE to verify that candidates applying under the Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD) category genuinely have a disability that meets the government's criteria for reservation. All PwBD candidates must attend this assessment as part of the counselling process. The assessment is not a test you can pass or fail — it is a verification to confirm your disability claim is valid.
I am on the list and marked ELIGIBLE. What does this mean for my admission?
ELIGIBLE means the Medical Assessment Board has confirmed your disability meets the benchmark criteria. You retain your PwBD category reservation and will compete for seats reserved for PwBD candidates in the next stage of counselling. Your seat allotment will be based on your NEET All India Rank among other eligible PwBD candidates. You must continue to monitor the OJEE portal for the next round of counselling and seat allotment dates.
I am marked NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER PwBD CATEGORY. Does this mean I cannot get admission?
No. NOT ELIGIBLE means you lose your PwBD category reservation, but you can still get admission under general merit. Your application will be processed based on your NEET All India Rank, and you will compete with all other general-category candidates for unreserved seats. Your chances depend on your rank and the availability of seats. You should also contact OJEE to understand why you were marked ineligible and explore whether you can appeal.
My name is not on this list. What should I do?
If your name does not appear on the list, it could mean you did not attend the assessment on 08-09-2026, your application was not processed for PwBD assessment, or there is an administrative error. Contact OJEE immediately with your NEET (UG) Application Number and NEET Roll Number to clarify your status. Do not assume you are ineligible — follow up with the authority to confirm.
When will the next stage of counselling happen?
The notice does not specify the date for the next round of counselling or seat allotment. OJEE will announce these dates separately. Monitor the OJEE website (https://ojee.nic.in) regularly and check your registered email and mobile number for updates. Counselling deadlines are strict, so do not miss the announcement.
Can I appeal if I am marked NOT ELIGIBLE?
Yes, you have the right to appeal or seek clarification. The notice does not specify an appeal deadline or process, so contact OJEE immediately to ask how to file an appeal and what the time limit is. Provide any additional medical evidence or documentation that supports your disability claim. Act quickly — counselling deadlines are strict.
What documents do I need to have ready for the next stage of counselling?
Keep all original documents ready: your disability certificate (issued by the competent authority), medical reports from the assessment, your NEET admit card, your NEET mark sheet, your 10th and 12th mark sheets, your caste certificate (if applicable), your income certificate (if applicable), and any other documents mentioned in the OJEE counselling prospectus. You will need these for document verification and seat confirmation.
I applied for two departments (like Orthopaedics and Haematology). How will seat allotment work?
If you applied for two departments and are marked ELIGIBLE, you are open to being allotted a seat in either department based on your NEET rank and the availability of seats. OJEE will allot you to the department where your rank falls within the cutoff. You cannot choose which department you prefer — the allotment is based on merit and availability.
What is the difference between my NEET Application Number, NEET Roll Number, and NEET All India Rank?
Your NEET Application Number is the 12-digit number assigned by OJEE when you registered for counselling — it is unique to Odisha counselling. Your NEET Roll Number is the number assigned by the NEET exam authority when you took the NEET exam. Your NEET All India Rank (AIR) is your score-based rank in the NEET exam nationwide. When searching this list, use your NEET Application Number (the second column).
One candidate on the list has no AIR listed. What does this mean?
Application No. 260411577965 is marked ELIGIBLE but has no NEET All India Rank shown (indicated by a dash). This could be a data entry error or a special circumstance. If this is your application, contact OJEE immediately to confirm your rank and ensure your record is complete before the next stage of counselling. Do not proceed without clarifying this.
If I am marked NOT ELIGIBLE, can I still apply for general-category seats?
Yes. If you are marked NOT ELIGIBLE under PwBD, you will automatically be considered under general merit for unreserved seats. Your application will proceed to seat allotment based on your NEET All India Rank. You will compete with all other general-category candidates. Your eligibility for a seat depends on your rank and the availability of unreserved seats in your chosen course.
How do I know when seat allotment will happen?
OJEE will announce the date for seat allotment separately on its website (https://ojee.nic.in). The notice does not specify when this will be. Check the portal daily, and ensure your registered email and mobile number are up to date so you receive notifications. Missing the announcement could mean missing the deadline to participate.
If your name appears on this list with an ELIGIBLE remark, congratulations — you have cleared the medical assessment and can proceed to the next stage of counselling. Verify your details immediately, keep all your documents ready, and monitor the OJEE portal (https://ojee.nic.in) for announcements about seat allotment and document verification. If you are marked NOT ELIGIBLE, contact OJEE urgently to understand the reason and explore your options, including appeal or proceeding under general merit. If your name does not appear on the list, contact OJEE immediately to clarify your status. Do not delay — counselling deadlines are strict and missing a deadline can cost you your seat.
