If you applied for MBBS or BDS through Odisha's state counselling, the wait for Round 1 results is over. The OJEE (Odisha Joint Entrance Examination) Committee has declared the Round 1 final seat allotment for NEET UG 2026, covering state-quota seats in government, private and self-financing medical and dental colleges across Odisha. This result decides which college and course you have been provisionally matched to based on your NEET rank, choices and reservation category. What happens next matters just as much as the allotment itself — candidates now have a short window to verify documents and physically report at their allotted institution to lock in the seat.
Allotted candidates in Odisha must report in person at their allotted MBBS/BDS college with original documents by September 3, 2026 — missing this deadline means losing the seat and the counselling fee already paid.
What was released and when
The Round 1 process moved through a provisional list first, followed by a brief window for candidates to raise queries, before the final allotment was locked and letters issued.
This structure — provisional list, query window, final list — is standard across most state counselling authorities, and Odisha followed the same sequence this year.
- Provisional Round 1 allotment released: August 24, 2026
- Window to raise queries on the provisional list: August 25, 2026 (from 2:00 PM)
- Final Round 1 allotment and allotment letters issued: August 26, 2026 (11:30 AM)
- Last date to report at the allotted college: September 3, 2026
Who decides the allotment and which seats are covered
The allotment is based on three inputs: your NEET UG 2026 all-India merit rank, the choices you locked during the counselling round, and applicable reservation rules for categories such as SC, ST, SEBC, EWS and PwBD.
Seat availability data for this round came from the Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET), Odisha, which maintains the official seat matrix for state medical and dental colleges.
Odisha's counselling committee — comprising the OJEE Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, an Additional Director of DMET, and two other members — is responsible for running the process that fills 85% of state-quota MBBS and BDS seats. The remaining seats fall under the all-India quota, which is handled separately by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at the national level, not by OJEE.
Reporting: the step that actually confirms your seat
Getting allotted a seat is not the same as securing it. In every state counselling system, the seat is confirmed only after physical reporting, document verification and fee payment at the allotted college — and Odisha is no exception.
The reporting process here has two parts. First, candidates must present themselves at the allotted college with the required originals before September 3, 2026. Second, at the college, they must complete document verification, pay the admission fee, and collect a confirmation slip as proof that the seat has been secured.
A detail worth flagging for anyone still hoping to try for a better seat: if you want to be considered in Round 2, you must select the upgrade option at the reporting counter itself, before you leave. Skipping this step at the counter closes that door for the current cycle.
Documents to carry — do not skip this checklist
Reporting counters in state counselling are strict about paperwork. Missing even one document listed as mandatory can delay or jeopardise your admission on the day, so it is worth assembling everything well before September 3.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and pass certificates
- Provisional seat allotment letter downloaded from odishajee.com
- Nativity or resident certificate confirming Odisha domicile
- Category certificate (SC, ST, SEBC, EWS or PwBD), where applicable
- Aadhaar card and recent passport-size photographs
- Signed provisional admission bond in the format prescribed by OJEE
- One self-attested photocopy set of every original document
What if you skip reporting or want to try again
Candidates who do not report within the window automatically forfeit the allotted seat, and the counselling fee already paid is not refunded. This is a hard rule across NEET UG counselling processes nationally, not unique to Odisha, so treat the September 3 date as final.
If your allotted seat is not what you hoped for, reporting and choosing the upgrade option is the safer path rather than not reporting at all — it keeps you eligible for Round 2 without the risk of losing your admission chance entirely for this cycle.

Where do I check my Odisha NEET UG 2026 Round 1 allotment result?
Log in at odishajee.com using your application number and password (or date of birth) and open the MBBS/BDS Counselling 2026 Round 1 allotment link to view and download your letter.
What is the last date to report at the allotted college?
September 3, 2026. You must complete both steps — reporting with documents and fee payment/verification at the college — within this deadline.
What happens if I don't report by September 3?
Your allotted seat will be cancelled automatically, and the counselling fee you paid will not be refunded.
Can I still try for a better college in Round 2 after reporting?
Yes, but you must select the upgrade option at the reporting counter itself before leaving. If you skip this at the counter, you will not be considered for Round 2 upgrades.
Does this allotment cover all MBBS/BDS seats in Odisha?
It covers the state-quota seats — about 85% of MBBS and BDS seats in Odisha's government, private and self-financing colleges — administered by the OJEE Committee. All-India quota seats are allotted separately by the Medical Counselling Committee.
What documents are compulsory for reporting?
Carry your NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and 12 certificates, the provisional allotment letter, an Odisha nativity/resident certificate, category certificate if applicable, Aadhaar, photographs, the signed admission bond, and one self-attested photocopy set of each.
Who prepares the seat matrix used for allotment?
The Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET), Odisha provides the seat matrix inputs that the OJEE Committee uses for the allotment.
If you have an Odisha Round 1 allotment, prioritise assembling your documents today rather than waiting until closer to September 3 — reporting-day queues and last-minute paperwork issues are the most common reason candidates lose seats they were rightfully allotted. Keep checking odishajee.com afterward for the Round 2 seat matrix and choice-filling schedule, which typically opens soon after the Round 1 reporting deadline closes.
