The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Board has released the Round 2 merit list for NEET UG MBBS and BDS admissions on odishajee.com. This is a critical window for candidates seeking state quota seats in Odisha medical colleges. Choice filling—the process where you rank your preferred colleges and courses—closes today, September 10, 2026, with the provisional seat allotment result expected on September 11. If you are a fresh applicant or were not allotted a seat in Round 1, this round is your next opportunity to secure an MBBS or BDS seat in the state.
You must log in to odishajee.com and lock your college and course preferences before the choice-filling deadline closes today (September 10, 2026) to remain eligible for Round 2 seat allotment.
What is Odisha NEET UG Round 2 and who can apply?
Round 2 of Odisha's NEET UG counselling is the second phase of seat allocation for state quota MBBS and BDS positions in government and private medical colleges across the state. Two groups of candidates are eligible to participate: fresh applicants who registered during the designated window (September 7–8, 2026) and candidates who were not allotted a seat in Round 1.
The revised state merit list, released on September 9, 2026, determines the order in which seats are offered. This list combines the scores of fresh registrants with the remaining vacant seats after Round 1 allotments. If you fall into either category, you have the opportunity to participate in this round, but you must act quickly—the choice-filling window is extremely narrow.
Key dates and deadlines for Odisha NEET UG Round 2 2026
The OJEE Board has set a compressed timeline for Round 2 activities. Missing any deadline can result in losing your seat opportunity, so it is essential to mark these dates clearly and set reminders.
- Round 2 registration window: September 7–8, 2026 (already closed)
- Revised state merit list release: September 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM
- Choice filling and locking: September 9–10, 2026 (closes today)
- Provisional seat allotment result: September 11, 2026
How to fill and lock your college and course choices
Choice filling is the process where you rank your preferred colleges and courses in order of priority. The system will attempt to allot you the highest-ranked choice available based on your merit position and the number of seats. Follow these steps carefully to avoid errors:
First, visit odishajee.com and locate the MBBS or BDS counselling 2026 login link. Enter your NEET UG application number and password to access your account. Once logged in, you will see a list of available colleges and the number of seats they have in each category (general, OBC, SC, ST, etc.). Review this list thoroughly and decide your preference order before you begin filling choices.
Arrange your preferred colleges and courses in order of priority—your first choice is most important. After you have finalized your order, lock your choices before the deadline expires. The system will not allow changes after locking. Download and save your choice-filling confirmation slip as proof of submission. Keep this slip safe until the allotment result is declared.
Understanding the revised merit list and seat matrix
The revised state merit list released on September 9, 2026, is different from the original NEET UG national merit list. It is specific to Odisha's state quota counselling and reflects the combined ranking of fresh applicants and non-allotted candidates from Round 1. Your position on this list determines the order in which you are offered seats.
Alongside the merit list, OJEE has released an updated seat matrix showing how many MBBS and BDS seats are available in each college and category. This matrix is crucial for making informed choices. Study it carefully to understand which colleges have seats in your category and how competitive each college is likely to be based on previous round cutoffs.
Documents you must have ready for reporting after allotment
Once you receive a seat allotment on September 11, you will be required to report to your allotted college with original documents for verification. Missing or incomplete documents can result in cancellation of your allotted seat, so prepare these well in advance:
Gather your NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates, a valid government-issued photo identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, or driving license), an Odisha domicile or residence certificate, a category certificate if you belong to a reserved category (OBC, SC, ST), and recent passport-size photographs (typically 4–6 copies). Verify that all certificates are original or attested copies as per the college's requirements.
Why Round 2 is critical for your MBBS or BDS admission
Round 2 represents a decisive opportunity for securing a state quota seat in Odisha. Candidates who miss the choice-filling deadline today will lose access to fresh seat options in this round. Any seats that remain unallotted after Round 2 will move to a mop-up round, which typically has fewer seats and a shorter window.
If you do not participate in Round 2 or fail to lock your choices, you will have to wait for the mop-up round, which may offer limited options. Additionally, if you are allotted a seat in Round 2 but do not report with the required documents, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate on the merit list. This is why acting today is so important.
Action plan: What you should do right now
Time is running out. Here is a step-by-step action plan to ensure you do not miss this opportunity:
First, log in to odishajee.com immediately and verify that your name appears on the revised merit list released on September 9. If you cannot find your name, contact the OJEE helpline without delay. Next, download and study the updated seat matrix to understand which colleges have seats available in your category. Prepare a ranked list of your preferred colleges and courses before you open the choice-filling portal—do not decide on the spot, as this increases the risk of errors.
Once you have finalized your preferences, log in to the portal, enter your choices in order of priority, and lock them before the deadline closes today. Save your confirmation slip. Finally, wait for the provisional seat allotment result on September 11, 2026, and be ready to report to your allotted college with all required documents.
What happens after the allotment result on September 11?
Once the provisional seat allotment result is declared on September 11, you will be able to see which college and course you have been allotted based on your merit position and choice order. The OJEE Board will announce the reporting dates and venue for document verification. You must report within the specified timeframe with all original documents.
After successful verification, your seat will be confirmed and you will be eligible to join the college. If you do not report or your documents are incomplete, your seat will be cancelled. Watch odishajee.com closely for announcements regarding reporting dates, mop-up round schedule, and any other updates.
