Odisha NEET UG 2026 2nd Round: Reporting Schedule, Fees & Documents

The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) board has released the official schedule and instructions for candidates who received new allotments in the 2nd round of MBBS/BDS counselling for 2026–27. All newly allotted candidates must personally report at the OJEE office in Gandamunda, Bhubaneswar on either 17 or 18 September 2026, depending on their allotted college, with original certificates, mark sheets, bond, CLC, and other required documents. Candidates who were upgraded from the 1st round do not need to report in the 2nd round — they must only exercise the Freeze/Float option online and download their new allotment letter. This notice sets out the exact reporting times for each college, the admission fees to be paid, and the critical steps to secure your provisional admission.

What is this notice about?

This is the official reporting schedule and instruction document for the 2nd round of MBBS/BDS counselling under Odisha's NEET UG 2026 admission process. It applies only to candidates who have received a new allotment (a seat they did not have in the 1st round) in the 2nd round. The notice tells you exactly when and where to report, what documents to bring, how much to pay, and what happens if you don't follow the instructions.

The notice also clarifies what upgraded candidates (those who got a better college or category in the 2nd round after already reporting in round 1) must do — which is different from newly allotted candidates. Understanding which category you fall into is critical, because the reporting requirements are completely different.

Who must report in the 2nd round?

You must report in person if you received a **new allotment** in the 2nd round — that is, a seat you did not have in the 1st round. This includes candidates who were not allotted in round 1 and are now allotted for the first time, as well as candidates who were allotted in round 1 but did not report and are now allotted again in round 2.

You do **not** need to report in the 2nd round if you were **upgraded** in this round — meaning you already reported in round 1 and have now been allotted a better college or category. Upgraded candidates must only exercise the Freeze/Float option online and download their new allotment letter; they do not come to the OJEE office in round 2.

There is one exception: if you upgraded in round 2 only with respect to your category (not your college) and the college remains the same as in round 1, you do not need to report in round 2 either. Similarly, if you retained your exact round 1 allotment with no change to college or category, you do not report.

• Newly allotted in round 2 → report in person
• Upgraded to a different college in round 2 → do not report in round 2 (but report after round 3)
• Upgraded only in category, same college → do not report in round 2
• Retained exact round 1 allotment → do not report in round 2

Reporting dates and times by college

All reporting takes place at the **OJEE Office, Gandamunda, Bhubaneswar** on either **17 September 2026** or **18 September 2026**. Your reporting date and time slot depend on which college you have been allotted. The schedule is strict — you must arrive during your assigned time slot. Reporting is divided into two days to manage the large number of candidates.

On **17 September**, reporting slots run from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM, with different colleges assigned to different time windows. On **18 September**, the same pattern repeats. If you are allotted to an NRI quota seat (for MBBS or BDS), you report on 17 September from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM, regardless of which college.

Find your allotted college in the table below and note your exact date and time. Arriving late or on the wrong day may result in your seat being cancelled.

Documents you must bring (original + photocopies)

You must bring **all documents in original** along with **one complete set of photocopies** of every document. The notice is explicit: incomplete documentation will result in your application being rejected and your seat cancelled. Do not assume you can submit documents later or that the college will accept them — bring everything on your reporting date.

The documents required are: (1) all certificates and mark sheets from your 10th, 12th, and NEET exam; (2) the Bond document as mentioned in the official guidelines or government notification (this is a legal undertaking you sign); (3) Nativity Certificate in original (proof that you are a resident of Odisha); (4) CLC (Character and Conduct Certificate, usually from your school); and (5) any other documents specified in the admission guidelines. The notice does not provide an exhaustive list, so check the full OJEE guidelines to ensure you have everything.

The Nativity Certificate and CLC are especially important — the notice specifically states that on deposit of admission fees and submission of these two documents in original, you will receive your provisional admission letter. If either is missing, your admission will be delayed or rejected.

• All certificates and mark sheets (10th, 12th, NEET) — original + photocopy
• Bond document (as per guidelines/government notification) — original + photocopy
• Nativity Certificate (proof of Odisha residence) — original + photocopy
• CLC (Character and Conduct Certificate) — original + photocopy
• Any other documents specified in admission guidelines — original + photocopy

Freeze and Float option: what you must do online

Before you report in person, you must log into your OJEE portal using your login ID and exercise the **Freeze or Float option**. This is a critical step — if you do not do this, you cannot complete your admission. Freeze means you accept your allotted seat and will not participate in further rounds. Float means you accept this seat but are willing to participate in round 3 if you wish to upgrade further.

After exercising this option, you must **complete the payment process online** — that is, pay your admission fees through the portal. Only after you have done both of these things should you physically report to the OJEE office with your documents and demand draft (if paying by draft instead of online).

If you were upgraded from round 1 and are not reporting in round 2, you still must exercise the Freeze/Float option online and download your new allotment letter. Your round 1 allotment letter will be cancelled and is no longer valid.

• Log in to OJEE portal with your login ID
• Exercise Freeze or Float option
• Complete online payment of admission fees
• Then report in person to OJEE office with documents

Admission fees: how much and how to pay

The admission fee you pay depends on whether your allotted college is government or private. For **government medical and dental colleges**, the fee is **₹37,950 per annum**. This is the amount you deposit with OJEE at the time of reporting. Note that colleges may collect additional fees at the institutional level after you are finally admitted, and these may vary from college to college.

For **private medical colleges**, fees are much higher and vary by college: HiTech MCH Bhubaneswar charges ₹11,56,000 per annum; HiTech MCH Rourkela charges ₹8,54,000 per annum; DRIEMS Institute of Health Sciences, Cuttack charges ₹9,08,000 per annum. For **private dental colleges**, HiTech Dental College, Bhubaneswar charges ₹3,00,000 per annum. **NRI candidates must pay four times the above fees** in private colleges.

You can pay fees in two ways: (1) **online** using your OJEE login ID, or (2) **by demand draft**. If you pay by draft, it must be drawn from a **nationalised bank only**, made payable at Bhubaneswar, and in favour of 'OJEE'. Write your name and NEET application number on the back of the draft and submit it at the OJEE office when you report. If the government revises the fee structure, the new fees will automatically apply.

• Government colleges: ₹37,950 per annum (plus institutional fees)
• HiTech MCH Bhubaneswar (private MBBS): ₹11,56,000 per annum
• HiTech MCH Rourkela (private MBBS): ₹8,54,000 per annum
• DRIEMS, Cuttack (private MBBS): ₹9,08,000 per annum
• HiTech Dental College, Bhubaneswar (private BDS): ₹3,00,000 per annum
• NRI candidates: pay 4× the above fees in private colleges
• Payment method: online (via login) or demand draft (nationalised bank only)

Who should come to report: candidate alone or with guardian

The notice states that **either the candidate alone or with only one guardian** should come to the OJEE office on the scheduled date and time. This means you do not need to bring both parents or multiple family members. One person (the candidate or one parent/guardian) is sufficient to complete the formalities. Bring the demand draft and all necessary documents with you.

This is important for planning your travel and logistics — you do not need to arrange for multiple family members to take time off work or travel to Bhubaneswar.

• Candidate can report alone, or
• Candidate can report with one guardian only
• Multiple family members are not required

What happens after you report: provisional vs. final admission

When you report and submit your documents and fees, you receive a **provisional admission letter** from the OJEE office along with an acknowledgement of the documents you submitted. This is not your final admission — it is a temporary confirmation that you have completed the 2nd round reporting process. You must keep this letter safe.

After the entire counselling process is complete (including round 3), OJEE will send the list of finally admitted students along with the admission fees to your allotted college. The college will then complete the final admission process. You will be notified by the college about when and how to complete final admission formalities. **Do not report to your allotted college during the 2nd round** — wait until the entire counselling is over.

If you are upgraded in round 3, you will need to report to the OJEE office again after round 3 with your old provisional admission letter, an updated bond, and an affidavit. This applies to all upgraded candidates except those who upgraded from a private college to a government college or from one private college to another private college.

• 2nd round reporting → receive provisional admission letter
• After round 3 → OJEE sends final list to colleges
• Colleges complete final admission after receiving list
• Do not report to college until final admission process begins
• Upgraded candidates (except private-to-govt) report again after round 3

Critical trap: what happens if you don't report or don't follow instructions

**If you are allotted a seat in round 2 and do not report, or if you do not follow any of the instructions in this notice, your seat will be cancelled.** You will be treated as a 'non-reported candidate'. However, you may then participate in round 3 by giving consent and filling fresh choices — but you will have to go through the entire counselling process again, and there is no guarantee you will get a seat.

This is a serious consequence. Missing your reporting date, not bringing required documents, not paying fees, or not exercising the Freeze/Float option online can all result in seat cancellation. The notice is clear: follow every instruction exactly as stated.

If you are upgraded from round 1 and mistakenly report in round 2 when you should not, this could also cause problems. Make sure you understand whether you are newly allotted or upgraded before you decide whether to report.

• Non-reporting → seat cancelled
• Not following instructions → seat cancelled
• Cancelled candidates may participate in round 3 with fresh choices
• No guarantee of seat in round 3
• Verify your status (newly allotted vs. upgraded) before reporting

Special cases: upgraded candidates and fee adjustments

If you were upgraded from round 1 to a **different college** in round 2, you do **not** report in round 2. Instead, you exercise Freeze/Float online, download your new allotment letter, and wait. After round 3 is complete, you will report to the OJEE office again with your old provisional admission letter, an updated bond, and an affidavit. This applies to all upgraded candidates except those who upgraded from a private college to a government college or from one private college to another private college.

If you upgraded to a college where the fee is **higher than what you already paid** in round 1, you must deposit the **extra fee as a demand draft** at the OJEE office in Bhubaneswar. For example, if you paid ₹37,950 for a government college in round 1 and upgraded to a private college charging ₹9,08,000 in round 2, you would need to pay the difference (₹8,70,050) as a demand draft. The draft should be in favour of 'OJEE', drawn from a nationalised bank, and payable at Bhubaneswar.

If you shift from a private college to a government college across different rounds, you may be eligible for a refund of the difference in fees. This refund will be processed by OJEE after final admission dates and paid to you according to government procedure.

• Upgraded to different college → do not report in round 2; report after round 3
• Upgraded to higher-fee college → deposit extra fee as demand draft
• Upgraded from private to govt college → may be eligible for refund after final admission
• Upgraded only in category, same college → do not report in round 2

Step-by-step: what to do if you are newly allotted in round 2

Follow these steps in order to secure your provisional admission: (1) Check the reporting schedule table above and find your allotted college and your exact reporting date and time. (2) Gather all original documents (certificates, mark sheets, bond, nativity certificate, CLC) and make one complete photocopy set of each. (3) Log into your OJEE portal using your login ID. (4) Exercise the Freeze or Float option. (5) Complete the online payment of admission fees, or arrange a demand draft from a nationalised bank in favour of 'OJEE' with your name and NEET application number on the back. (6) On your scheduled date and time, report to the OJEE office at Gandamunda, Bhubaneswar with all original documents, photocopies, and the demand draft (if paying by draft). (7) Submit your documents and fees. (8) Receive your provisional admission letter and acknowledgement. (9) Keep the provisional admission letter safe — do not report to your college yet. (10) Wait for round 3 results and final admission instructions from your college.
