The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Board (OJEE), which runs counselling for the 85% state-quota MBBS and BDS seats in Odisha, has published the official affidavit format that every candidate must submit at the time of admission for the 2026 session. This is not a new announcement of dates or seats — it is a mandatory legal document (called Annexure-A) that you and your parent/guardian must fill, sign, get notarised, and hand over along with your original documents when you join your allotted MBBS or BDS college. Getting this affidavit wrong — wrong stamp paper, missing signatures, or not notarising it — can hold up your admission even after you have a valid seat allotment. This article explains exactly what the affidavit says, what documents it lists, and what you are legally agreeing to when you sign it.
Every OJEE MBBS/BDS candidate for 2026 must execute a notarised affidavit on Rs. 10 stamp paper (Annexure-A), listing 10 original documents and declaring personal responsibility for their genuineness, with a separate undertaking signed by the parent/guardian.
What is Annexure-A and why does it matter?
Annexure-A is a sworn affidavit that OJEE requires from every candidate admitted to MBBS or BDS through its counselling process. It must be executed (typed/filled and signed) on a non-judicial stamp paper of Rs. 10, and it needs to be identified and attested by an advocate before a Notary Public in Bhubaneswar.
In simple terms: this is a legal promise, backed by a court-recognised document, that the original certificates you submitted to OJEE for verification are genuine and belong to you. If any of these turn up fake or forged later — even after your degree is completed and confirmed — you can face legal action and lose your admission or degree.
The 10 documents you must list in the affidavit
The affidavit requires you to state that you submitted the following original documents to OJEE for verification, and that you kept attested copies of each. Missing even one of these at the time of document verification can delay or block your admission, so keep all originals ready well in advance.
- Statement of Marks of Class 12th (or equivalent) issued by the relevant Board
- Passing Certificate of Class 12th (or equivalent) issued by the relevant Board
- Passing Certificate of Class 10th (or equivalent) issued by the relevant Board
- School Leaving Certificate / Transfer Certificate
- Domicile (Resident/Nativity) Certificate issued by State Authorities
- Caste Certificate issued by State Authority (where applicable)
- Green Card (where applicable)
- EWS Certificate (where applicable)
- All NRI documents, as applicable
- ID Proof — Aadhaar or any other valid government-issued ID
What the candidate is declaring by signing
By signing this affidavit, you (the candidate/deponent) are making several specific legal declarations. Read each of these carefully — this is not a routine formality, it carries real consequences.
You confirm that you understand your admission to the MBBS/BDS course has been given based on the original documents you submitted, along with your NEET-UG rank and your category/sub-category. You confirm that documents 1 to 10 listed above are originals, and that the copies you submitted are true copies duly attested by you personally. You accept sole responsibility for the genuineness of these documents.
Crucially, the affidavit states that if any of these documents are later found not to be authentic or genuine, you will be liable for appropriate legal action, and your admission can be cancelled — or your degree withdrawn — even if the degree has already been confirmed and awarded. If your admission is cancelled due to fraudulent practices, you also undertake to pay as per the applicable norms.
What the parent or guardian must sign
The affidavit is not just for the student. A parent or guardian must also sign a separate undertaking on the same document. In this part, the parent/guardian confirms that they have explained the undertaking and its consequences to their son/daughter/ward.
The parent/guardian also takes on two specific responsibilities: paying the course fees and any fines that may arise, and being answerable for the good conduct of the student throughout the entire MBBS/BDS course at the allotted college or institute.
This means parents cannot treat this as just the student's paperwork — their signature carries financial and behavioural accountability for the full duration of the course.
Practical steps and traps to avoid
Because this affidavit must be legally executed, there are a few procedural points that trip students up if left for the last minute.
- ⚠️ The affidavit must be on non-judicial stamp paper of Rs. 10 — an affidavit typed on plain paper or the wrong denomination of stamp paper will not be accepted.
- ⚠️ It must be notarised by a Notary Public in Bhubaneswar, and identified/attested by an advocate — get this done before you travel for document verification/admission, not on the spot.
- ✅ Fill in every blank correctly: your name, age, father's/guardian's name, the course (MBBS or BDS), and the name of the college/institute you have been allotted.
- ✅ Keep the original documents plus self-attested photocopies of all 10 items listed, ready together — this affidavit is submitted along with them, not instead of them.
- ✅ Both the candidate and the parent/guardian must sign in the presence of the notary; the affidavit is incomplete without the parent's/guardian's undertaking.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Who needs to submit this affidavit — all NEET UG candidates or only those admitted through OJEE?
This specific Annexure-A format is required only from candidates being admitted to MBBS or BDS through OJEE's Odisha state quota counselling for the 2026 session.
Can I submit the affidavit on plain paper instead of stamp paper?
No. The notice specifically requires the affidavit to be executed on a non-judicial stamp paper of Rs. 10 and then notarised. A plain-paper version does not meet the requirement.
Does the affidavit need to be notarised specifically in Bhubaneswar?
The format shown identifies the notarisation as being before a 'Notary Public, Bhubaneswar,' so candidates should get it notarised there, or confirm with OJEE if any exceptions are allowed.
What happens if one of my documents is later found to be fake?
Under this affidavit, you accept sole responsibility for the genuineness of your documents. If any document is found not authentic, you can face legal action, and your admission can be cancelled — or even your degree withdrawn, even after it has been confirmed.
Is the parent's or guardian's signature compulsory on this affidavit?
Yes. The affidavit includes a separate undertaking that must be signed by the parent or guardian, who takes responsibility for the fees/fines and the student's good conduct for the entire MBBS/BDS course.
Do I need to submit all 10 documents even if some (like EWS or NRI documents) don't apply to me?
No — items like the Green Card, EWS Certificate, and NRI documents are marked 'as applicable' in the format, meaning you only need to furnish these if they apply to your category or situation.
Should I get this affidavit ready before or after document verification?
It is safest to prepare and notarise the affidavit before you go for document verification and admission formalities, since the notice implies it accompanies the original documents you submit for verification.
Prepare this affidavit well before your reporting date — arrange the Rs. 10 stamp paper, fill in all details accurately, and get it notarised in Bhubaneswar with both your and your parent's/guardian's signatures. Keep certified copies of all 10 listed documents ready alongside the originals, since this affidavit is submitted together with them, not as a substitute. For the exact reporting schedule and any updates, check OJEE's official counselling notices regularly.
