The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Board has issued an urgent notice on 14 October 2026 directing all candidates who have been allotted MBBS or BDS seats through the 85% State/NRI quota to report immediately to their assigned colleges. This is not a new allotment or a change in seat allocation—it is a critical reminder that you must physically report to your college within the specific timeline set by that college, or you will lose your seat. The notice applies to candidates admitted through OJEE-2026 counselling in both government and private medical colleges across Odisha. If you have received an allotment letter, this notice is your signal to act now.
You must report physically to your allotted college by the deadline posted on that college's official website, or your seat will be cancelled.

Unlock My College ListWhat This Notice Means
This is an urgent directive from OJEE, the state counselling authority for Odisha's 85% state-quota MBBS and BDS seats. It applies to every candidate who has been reported or admitted (allotted a seat) through OJEE-2026 counselling, whether in a government or private medical college in Odisha.
The notice does not announce new allotments or change your seat. Instead, it reminds you that receiving an allotment letter is only the first step. You must now complete the second step: physically report to your college within the timeline your college has set. Failure to report by that deadline will result in your seat being cancelled, and it will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
Who Must Report
This notice applies to you if:
You have been allotted an MBBS or BDS seat through OJEE-2026 counselling, AND you were allotted through the 85% State/NRI quota (not the 15% All-India quota), AND your seat is in any government or private medical college in Odisha.
- You received an allotment letter from OJEE showing your seat, college, and course
- Your allotment was through the 85% State/NRI quota (the state's own counselling process)
- Your college is in Odisha
What You Must Do Immediately
Do not wait. The notice uses the word 'immediately' and 'urgent' because reporting deadlines are often very tight—sometimes just a few days after allotment. Your college has already posted its own reporting schedule on its official website, and you must find and follow that schedule, not any other source.
Visit your allotted college's official website right now. Look for a section on 'admission', 'reporting', 'joining', or 'counselling'. You will find:
The exact date and time by which you must report in person
The documents you must bring
The college-level formalities (document verification, fee payment, hostel registration, etc.)
Any special instructions for your course or category
- Go to your college's official website immediately
- Find the reporting schedule and deadline
- Note the exact date, time, and location where you must report
- Read all college-level procedures and requirements
- Prepare all documents the college has listed
Physical Reporting Is Mandatory
The notice is explicit: 'Candidates must report physically at their allotted college strictly within the timelines/schedule specified on the concerned college's official website.' This means you cannot report online, by email, by phone, or through a representative. You must be present in person at your college on the date and time your college has set.
If you do not report physically by the deadline, your seat will be treated as abandoned, and OJEE will cancel your allotment. Your seat will then be offered to the next candidate on the merit list. There is no grace period, no extension, and no exception mentioned in this notice.
- You must report in person—no online or proxy reporting
- You must report on the exact date and time your college specifies
- Missing the deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your seat
- There is no appeal or extension process mentioned

Why Your College's Website, Not OJEE's
OJEE has issued this notice to direct you to your college's website, not to provide a single reporting date for all colleges. Each college—whether government or private—sets its own reporting schedule based on its own admission process and infrastructure. Some colleges may ask you to report on 15 October, others on 20 October, and so on.
This is a common source of confusion: candidates wait for OJEE to announce a reporting date, but OJEE does not. Instead, OJEE has delegated the responsibility to each college. If you miss your college's deadline because you were waiting for OJEE to announce something, your seat will still be cancelled. You are responsible for finding your college's deadline.
- Each college sets its own reporting deadline
- OJEE does not announce a single reporting date for all colleges
- You must check your specific college's website, not OJEE's
- Ignorance of your college's deadline is not an excuse for missing it
What Documents to Bring
The notice does not list specific documents, because each college may have different requirements. However, standard documents required at reporting in most medical colleges include:
Your allotment letter from OJEE
Your NEET UG 2026 admit card and score card
Your 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates
Your category certificate (SC/ST/OBC), if applicable
Your domicile certificate (proof of Odisha residence), if required
Your identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, passport, or driving licence)
Your address proof
Your medical fitness certificate (if your college requires it)
Passport-size photographs (usually 4–6)
Any other document your college has listed on its website
- Check your college's website for the exact list of documents required
- Bring originals and photocopies of all certificates
- Bring your allotment letter and NEET admit card
- Bring proof of category (SC/ST/OBC) if you are in a reserved category
- Bring proof of Odisha domicile if your college requires it
- Do not assume—verify with your college what is needed
College-Level Formalities You Will Complete
Once you report to your college, you will go through several formalities before your admission is finalized. These are handled by the college, not by OJEE. The notice mentions 'college level formalities', which typically include:
Document verification: the college will check that all your certificates are genuine and match your NEET registration
Fee payment: you will pay your first-semester or first-year fees (the amount varies by college and course)
Hostel registration: if you are a resident student, you may register for hostel accommodation
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
Medical examination: some colleges conduct a medical fitness test
Orientation and induction: you may attend a college orientation programme
The exact list and order of these formalities will be on your college's website. Do not skip any step, as each is necessary to confirm your admission.
- Document verification by the college
- Payment of admission and tuition fees
- Hostel registration (if applicable)
- Medical fitness examination
- College orientation and induction
- Any other procedure your college specifies
The 85% State/NRI Quota Explained
This notice applies only to candidates allotted through the 85% State/NRI quota. In Odisha, NEET UG MBBS and BDS seats are divided into two quotas: 85% (state quota) and 15% (All-India quota). The 85% quota is filled by OJEE through state-level counselling and is reserved for Odisha residents and NRI candidates. If you were allotted through the 15% All-India quota (which is counselled by MCC, the Medical Counselling Committee), this notice does not apply to you—you will follow MCC's reporting instructions instead.
If you are unsure which quota your seat is under, check your allotment letter. It will clearly state 'State Quota' or 'NRI Quota' or 'All-India Quota'. If it says State or NRI, this notice applies to you.
- 85% quota = State/NRI quota, counselled by OJEE
- 15% quota = All-India quota, counselled by MCC
- This notice applies only to 85% quota allottees
- Check your allotment letter to confirm which quota you are in
Government vs. Private Colleges
This notice applies to candidates allotted to both government and private medical colleges in Odisha. Both types of colleges are part of the OJEE-2026 counselling process for the 85% quota. However, reporting procedures and timelines may differ between government and private colleges. A government college may ask you to report on one date, while a private college may set a different date. You must follow your specific college's instructions, not assume all colleges have the same deadline.
- This notice covers both government and private colleges
- Each college sets its own reporting deadline
- Do not assume your friend's college deadline applies to you
- Check only your allotted college's website
What Happens If You Miss the Deadline
If you do not report physically to your college by the deadline your college has set, your seat will be cancelled. OJEE will then offer your seat to the next candidate on the merit list. You will not be able to appeal or request an extension based on this notice. Your admission will be forfeited, and you will have to wait for the next counselling round (if one is conducted) or explore other options.
This is why the notice uses the word 'urgent' and 'immediately'. Reporting deadlines are often very tight, and there is no flexibility. If you have any doubt about your college's deadline, contact your college's admission office directly by phone or email today.
- Missing the deadline = automatic seat cancellation
- Your seat will be offered to the next candidate
- No extension or appeal is available
- Contact your college immediately if you are unsure of the deadline
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Waiting for OJEE to announce a reporting date: OJEE has already issued this notice. It will not announce a single reporting date. Your college's website is your only source of truth.
Assuming all colleges have the same deadline: They do not. Each college sets its own schedule.
Sending a representative or reporting online: The notice is clear—you must report in person.
Not bringing all required documents: Check your college's website for the complete list. Missing even one document can delay your admission.
Confusing this notice with a new allotment: This is a reminder to report, not a new allotment. If you have already received an allotment letter, this notice applies to you.
Ignoring the deadline because you think there will be another round: There is no guarantee of another round. Treat this deadline as final.
- Do not wait for OJEE to announce a reporting date
- Do not assume your college's deadline is the same as another college's
- Do not send someone else to report on your behalf
- Do not forget to bring any required document
- Do not confuse this notice with a new allotment
- Do not assume there will be another counselling round

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I have been allotted an MBBS seat through OJEE. What do I do now?
Visit your allotted college's official website immediately and find the reporting schedule. The college will have posted the exact date, time, and location where you must report in person, along with a list of documents to bring. You must report by that deadline, or your seat will be cancelled. Do not wait for OJEE to announce anything—each college sets its own deadline.
When is the reporting deadline?
The notice does not specify a single reporting deadline because each college sets its own. You must check your specific college's official website to find your college's reporting deadline. This is critical—missing your college's deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your seat.
Can I report online or send someone else to report on my behalf?
No. The notice explicitly states that you must report physically in person at your allotted college. Online reporting or proxy reporting is not allowed. You must be present yourself on the date and time your college specifies.
What documents do I need to bring when I report?
The notice does not list specific documents because each college may have different requirements. Check your college's official website for the exact list. Typically, you will need your allotment letter, NEET admit card, certificates (10th, 12th, category, domicile), identity proof, and passport-size photographs. Bring originals and photocopies.
I was allotted through the All-India quota, not the state quota. Does this notice apply to me?
No. This notice applies only to candidates allotted through the 85% State/NRI quota via OJEE. If you were allotted through the 15% All-India quota, you will follow the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) reporting instructions instead. Check your allotment letter to confirm which quota you are in.
What happens if I miss the reporting deadline?
Your seat will be cancelled automatically. OJEE will offer your seat to the next candidate on the merit list. There is no extension, no appeal, and no second chance mentioned in this notice. Missing the deadline means losing your seat.
Is this notice announcing a new allotment, or is it just a reminder?
This is a reminder and urgent directive to candidates who have already been allotted seats. It is not announcing new allotments. If you have received an allotment letter from OJEE, this notice applies to you and you must act immediately.
My college has not posted a reporting schedule on its website yet. What should I do?
Contact your college's admission office directly by phone or email today. Ask for the reporting date, time, location, and list of required documents. Do not wait—the deadline may be very soon. If you cannot reach the college, visit it in person to get this information.
Does this notice apply to both MBBS and BDS candidates?
Yes. The notice explicitly mentions 'MBBS/BDS seats', so it applies to candidates allotted to either course through the 85% State/NRI quota in Odisha.
Can I defer my admission to the next year?
The notice does not mention any deferment option. If you do not report by your college's deadline, your seat will be cancelled. If you need to defer, contact your college's admission office immediately to ask if deferment is possible, but do not assume it is—act now to clarify this.
What are 'college-level formalities'?
These are the admission procedures conducted by your college after you report, such as document verification, fee payment, hostel registration, medical examination, and orientation. Your college's website will list all the formalities you must complete. Each is necessary to finalize your admission.
I am an NRI candidate. Does this notice apply to me?
Yes, if you were allotted through the 85% NRI quota via OJEE-2026 counselling. The notice explicitly mentions 'State/NRI quota'. You must follow the same reporting instructions as state-quota candidates—report physically to your college by the deadline your college has set.
Do not delay. Visit your allotted college's official website today to find the reporting deadline, required documents, and college-level procedures. Mark the deadline on your calendar and prepare all documents now. If your college's website does not have this information, contact the college's admission office by phone or email immediately. Remember: missing the reporting deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your seat, with no appeal or extension available.
