Odisha NEET UG 2026 Counselling: Round 1 Seat Allotment Out — Objection Window Closes August 25

The OJEE Board has put out the provisional Round 1 seat allotment for Odisha NEET UG 2026 MBBS/BDS counselling. Candidates have until August 25 to flag errors before the final allotment letters are issued on August 26. Here's what Odisha aspirants need to check and do next.

If you're an Odisha-domicile NEET UG candidate who filled choices for MBBS or BDS seats in the state, the Round 1 provisional seat allotment is now out. The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Board, which runs state counselling for medical and dental seats in Odisha, has published this list on its portal, ojee.nic.in. This is not the final word on your seat — it's a draft result meant to be checked carefully, because you get only a short window to point out mistakes before the allotment becomes binding. Missing this window means whatever seat and category are shown against your name will carry forward into the final letter used for physical reporting at college.

Check your Odisha NEET UG 2026 Round 1 provisional allotment now and raise any objection by August 25, 2026 — after that the list becomes final and forms the basis for college reporting.

What exactly has been released, and when

The provisional Round 1 seat allotment result for Odisha NEET UG 2026 counselling went live on August 20, 2026 at ojee.nic.in. It shows, for each candidate who participated in choice filling, the college and course tentatively allotted based on NEET UG rank, category, and the preferences submitted.

This is described as 'provisional' because the OJEE Board is giving candidates a defined period to point out any discrepancy — in personal details, category, rank, or the allotted seat itself — before locking in the result.

How to check your provisional allotment

Access is through login on the counselling portal, so keep your credentials handy before you sit down to check.

  • Go to ojee.nic.in or odishajee.com
  • Click the Round 1 provisional allotment link on the homepage
  • Log in using your application number or NEET UG roll number and password
  • View the allotted college and course on screen
  • Download and save the allotment status page for your records

Raising an objection: what it's for and how to do it

The query or grievance window exists specifically for candidates who spot a mismatch — for example, wrong category, incorrect rank reflected, or a seat that doesn't match your submitted choices. It is not a channel to request a different college simply because you'd prefer another one; it's meant for correcting factual errors in the record.

The Board has stated it will not accept objections after August 25, 2026, so this is a hard deadline. If you don't act within it, the allotment as shown is treated as accepted, and any unresolved error will carry into the final letter — the very document you'll need for physical verification at your allotted college.

  • Log in to your account on ojee.nic.in
  • Open the query/grievance link listed for Round 1
  • Select the specific reason for your objection from the given options
  • Upload supporting documents wherever proof is asked for
  • Submit and save the acknowledgement — you may need it later

Fees and documents you should have ready

Once the final allotment is out on August 26, candidates who accept their seat will need to pay counselling and university fees and report physically with original documents. Planning for this in advance avoids last-minute stress or, worse, missing the reporting deadline.

  • Counselling fee: Rs 1,000 for General and SEBC candidates; Rs 500 for SC, ST and PwD candidates
  • University registration fee: Rs 3,500 for all admitted candidates
  • Documents needed at reporting: NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and pass certificates, the Odisha NEET UG counselling allotment letter, applicable category certificate (SC/ST/SEBC/EWS/PwD), Odisha nativity/domicile certificate, and a government photo ID such as Aadhaar
  • Carry both originals and photocopies, along with recent passport-size photographs, since incomplete documentation at reporting can lead to the seat being cancelled

What happens if you don't report on time

Once the final Round 1 letter is issued, allotted candidates must report to the college within the window specified in that letter, where physical verification of all documents takes place. If a candidate does not report within this period, the allotted seat is treated as vacated.

Seats vacated this way are pushed into the pool for Round 2, and fresh choice filling for the next round opens shortly after. This is exactly why checking the provisional list carefully now — rather than dealing with problems after the final letter — matters: it saves you from losing a seat over an error that could have been fixed earlier.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Round 1 allotment out now final, or can it change?

It is provisional. It becomes final only after the objection window closes on August 25, 2026, following which the OJEE Board will issue the final Round 1 allotment result and letters on August 26, 2026.

Can I ask for a different college through the objection window if I don't like my allotted seat?

No. The query window is meant only for factual errors — such as incorrect category, rank, or a seat that doesn't match your submitted choices — not for requesting an alternate preference.

What if I miss the August 25 deadline for objections?

The Board will not accept objections after that date. Whatever is shown in your provisional allotment will be carried forward unchanged into the final letter.

How much will I need to pay after the final allotment?

General and SEBC candidates pay a counselling fee of Rs 1,000, while SC, ST and PwD candidates pay Rs 500. In addition, all admitted candidates pay a university registration fee of Rs 3,500.

What documents should I carry for physical reporting?

Bring your NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and 12 certificates and mark sheets, the Odisha allotment letter, relevant category certificate, an Odisha nativity/domicile certificate, and a government photo ID like Aadhaar — originals plus photocopies and photographs.

What happens to my seat if I don't report within the given window?

The seat is treated as vacated and moves into the pool for Round 2, where it may be allotted to another candidate through fresh choice filling.

Odisha aspirants should log in today, download the provisional allotment slip, and cross-check every detail — name, category, rank, college and course — against what was actually submitted during choice filling. If anything looks off, file the objection well before August 25 rather than waiting till the last hour, and start arranging the counselling fee and reporting documents so the final letter on August 26 doesn't catch you unprepared.
