The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Board has released the provisional allotment list for the Stray Vacancy Round of NEET UG 2026 counselling on 20 October 2026. This round fills remaining seats in MBBS and BDS programmes across Odisha's government and private medical colleges after the main counselling rounds. If your application number appears on this list, you have been provisionally allotted a seat. This is a critical moment: you must verify your allotment details immediately and report to your allotted college by the deadline, or you risk losing your seat.
Check the provisional allotment list now using your application number; if allotted, verify all details and report to your college by the deadline set by OJEE.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the Stray Vacancy Round?
The Stray Vacancy Round is the final counselling round in Odisha's NEET UG 2026 admission process. It fills seats that remain vacant after the main counselling rounds—these are called 'stray vacancies.' Colleges may have unfilled seats because candidates rejected their allotments, did not report, or withdrew. This round gives eligible candidates a last chance to secure a seat.
The stray round is open only to candidates who participated in earlier counselling rounds and filled their choice preferences according to OJEE rules. You cannot enter the stray round if you did not register for counselling or did not fill your choices in the main rounds. All allotments in this round are provisional—meaning they are subject to verification and confirmation once you report to the college.
How to Find Your Name on the Allotment List
The allotment list is organized by state rank (Odisha rank), from lowest to highest. To find yourself, locate your application number in the list. Each row shows one candidate's allotment details. The list spans 13 pages and includes over 200 candidates allotted seats across MBBS and BDS programmes.
If your application number appears on the list with 'Fresh Allotted' status, you have been provisionally allotted a seat. If your name does not appear, you were not allotted in this round. Do not assume you were rejected—contact OJEE if you believe you should have been included.
- Search by your application number (a 12-digit number starting with 26041...)
- Verify the institute name, programme (MBBS or BDS), and your allotted category
- Check the 'Reporting Status' column—it should show 'Fresh Allotted'
Understanding Your Allotment Details
Each row in the allotment list contains nine key pieces of information. Understanding each column is essential to confirm your allotment is correct and to know where and when to report.
The 'Allotted Quota' column shows 'Home State,' meaning you have been allotted a seat in Odisha's state quota (85% of seats). The 'Candidate Category' is your category at the time of application (e.g., EB = Socially Educationally Backward Classes, GN = General, SC = Scheduled Caste, ST = Scheduled Tribe, EW = Economically Weaker Section). The 'Allotted Category' is the category under which your seat has been reserved or filled—this may differ from your candidate category if you were allotted under a different quota. The 'Allotted Sub Category' shows any additional sub-classification (e.g., GC = Girl Child, EX = Ex-serviceman, SG = Sports/Games); 'NO' means no sub-category applies.
- Application No: Your unique 12-digit application number
- State Rank: Your rank among Odisha candidates
- NEET Rank: Your all-India NEET UG rank
- Allotted Quota: Home State (Odisha state quota)
- Institute Name: The college where you are allotted
- Program Name: MBBS or BDS
- Candidate Category: Your category at application
- Allotted Category: The category under which your seat is filled
- Allotted Sub Category: Any special sub-classification (GC, EX, SG, etc.)

Category-Wise Allotments and Reservations
Seats in this round have been allotted across multiple reserved and unreserved categories.

A significant number of candidates have been allotted under SC (Scheduled Caste) and ST (Scheduled Tribe) categories. Smaller numbers are allotted under EW (Economically Weaker Section) and other sub-categories.
Your 'Allotted Category' column shows the exact category under which your seat has been reserved or filled. This is important because it determines whether you must submit a caste/tribe certificate or other supporting documents at the time of reporting. If your allotted category is EB, SC, ST, or EW, you must carry the relevant certificate issued by the competent authority.

- EB (Socially Educationally Backward Classes): Significant number

Important Notes and Traps to Avoid
⚠️ **This list excludes candidates allotted under AIQ (All-India Quota) at MCC.** If you were allotted an AIQ seat through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), you will not appear on this OJEE list. You must follow MCC's reporting instructions instead. Do not confuse the two processes.

⚠️ **Do not ignore this allotment.** Even if you are unsure about joining, contact OJEE or your college to clarify. Silence will result in automatic cancellation.
