The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Board (OJEE) has released the Provisional State Merit List for MBBS/BDS admission 2026-27, prepared after the 1st phase registration and document verification of NEET UG 2026 candidates. This is a result-type announcement, not a fresh application window — it lists the state rank of every candidate who registered and got their documents verified, and confirms who is eligible to take part in Odisha's state-level MBBS/BDS counselling for the 85% state quota seats and the NRI quota seats. The list is dated 13 August 2026 and carries thousands of candidate entries with their NEET roll number, domicile, category, and category-wise ranks.
This is a provisional merit list, not the final selection — check your name and rank carefully, and if you spot any error you must email OJEE by 14 August 2026, 3:00 PM; no query after this deadline or sent to any other email ID will be considered.
What OJEE has published
This notice (No. OJEE/0412, dated 13-08-2026) is the Provisional State Merit List for MBBS/BDS Admission 2026-27, prepared after the 1st phase of registration. Candidates had earlier registered on the OJEE portal and uploaded documents; OJEE has now verified those documents and ranked all successfully verified candidates.
Everyone whose name appears on this list is eligible to take part in Odisha's state counselling process for MBBS/BDS courses for the 2026-27 academic session, specifically for the 85% state quota seats and the NRI quota seats reserved by the state (the remaining 15% goes through the All India Quota run separately by MCC).
What information the list shows for each candidate
Each row in the merit list gives a candidate's NEET application number, domicile (Odisha or Outside Odisha), and category. It then shows flags (marked 'Yes' where applicable) for additional reservation groups, followed by the candidate's NEET All-India Rank and their Odisha State Rank, and finally category-wise ranks wherever the candidate belongs to a reserved or special group.
- NEET APP No. — the candidate's NEET UG 2026 application number
- Domicile — Odisha or Outside Odisha (relevant mainly for NRI quota claimants)
- Category — General (GN), EWS (EW), SC, ST, or Odisha's own Economically Backward (EB) category
- Flag columns (GC, PC, EX, NRI, SG) — mark 'Yes' if a candidate has also claimed a horizontal reservation such as PwD, ex-servicemen ward, sportsperson, or NRI quota
- NEET_R — the candidate's rank based on NEET UG 2026 score (All India basis)
- State_R — the candidate's rank within Odisha's state quota merit list
- Category-wise rank columns (EW_R, SC_R, ST_R, EB_R, GC_R, PC_R, EX_R, SGS_R, NRI_R) — a candidate's rank within their specific reserved category, used when seats are allotted category-wise
How the list was prepared
OJEE has been clear about the process: candidates made declarations at the time of 1st phase registration and uploaded copies of supporting documents. OJEE's team verified these documents, and only candidates whose verification was successful have been included and ranked in this provisional list.
If you registered but do not find your name, it likely means your document verification is still pending, was rejected, or there was a mismatch — you should check the OJEE portal and contact OJEE through the official channel described below rather than assuming an error.
The critical deadline you cannot miss
This is the single most important action point in the notice. OJEE has given a very short window for candidates to raise any doubt, query, or complaint about their rank or merit position: queries must reach the specified email by 14 August 2026, 3:00 PM.
Because the notice itself is dated 13 August 2026, this effectively gives candidates only about a day to check their entry and flag any problem. Missing this window means your objection may not be considered at all before the merit list is finalised.
- ⚠️ Only queries sent to odishaojee.mbbsquerry@gmail.com will be considered — emails sent to any other OJEE email ID will NOT be entertained.
- ⚠️ Any email received after 14.08.2026, 3:00 PM will NOT be considered, regardless of when it was sent.
- ✅ If your rank, category, or personal details look wrong, verify carefully and email your specific objection with proof before the deadline.
- No separate individual intimation will be sent to candidates — you are expected to check the list yourself.
Consequences of wrong information
OJEE has warned that any candidate found to have submitted wrong facts or concealed information that led to their inclusion in the merit list will have their name deleted from the list, and legal action may be initiated against them. This is a serious warning — candidates should not, for instance, misrepresent domicile, category certificates, or other eligibility documents to gain a better rank position or quota benefit.
The decision of the Selection Committee on any correction or dispute is stated to be final and binding, meaning there is no further appeal process described in this notice beyond the email query window.
What happens next
This notice only covers the provisional merit list — it does not itself announce choice-filling dates, seat allotment, or reporting schedules. For the full counselling and choice-filling schedule, OJEE has directed candidates to keep checking the official website https://ojee.nic.in, where further notices will be issued.
Candidates should treat this merit list as the basis on which they will later fill choices (colleges/courses) once the counselling round opens — a good or poor state rank position will determine which colleges are realistically within reach.
How to check your entry
The list is organised by ascending NEET rank (NEET_R), running from the highest-ranked candidates to the lowest, across dozens of pages. To find yourself, search for your own NEET UG 2026 application number in the published PDF/list on the OJEE website rather than trying to estimate your position from rank numbers alone.
Once you find your row, cross-check every field — domicile, category, and any 'Yes' flags for horizontal reservations — against what you originally submitted. Small mismatches (e.g., a missing PwD or sportsperson flag) can affect which seats you are eligible for in later rounds.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Is this the final merit list for OJEE MBBS/BDS admission 2026-27?
No. This is explicitly called a 'provisional' state merit list. It can still be corrected if errors are found, and OJEE reserves the right to make appropriate corrections after the query window closes.
What seats does this merit list cover?
It covers the 85% state quota seats and the NRI quota seats for MBBS/BDS in Odisha for the 2026-27 session. The remaining 15% All India Quota seats are handled separately by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), not by OJEE.
How do I raise a complaint if my rank or category looks wrong?
Email your specific query to odishaojee.mbbsquerry@gmail.com only. It must reach OJEE by 14 August 2026, 3:00 PM. Emails sent after this time, or to any other OJEE email address, will not be considered.
What if my name is not on the merit list at all?
This usually means your 1st phase document verification was not completed successfully or is still pending. Check your registration status on the OJEE portal and, if needed, raise the issue through the same query email before the deadline.
Will OJEE send me a personal message if there's a problem with my entry?
No. The notice clearly states no separate intimation will be sent to individual candidates. You are responsible for checking your own entry on the published list.
What happens if I submitted incorrect information to get a better category or rank?
OJEE has warned that any candidate found to have submitted wrong facts or concealed information will be removed from the merit list, and legal action may be initiated against them.
When will choice filling and seat allotment happen?
This notice does not announce those dates. OJEE has asked candidates to keep checking the official website https://ojee.nic.in for the counselling and choice-filling schedule.
I am from outside Odisha — can I be on this list?
Yes, a small number of 'Outside Odisha' domicile entries appear on the list, generally under the NRI quota category, since NRI quota seats can be claimed regardless of home state domicile if the NRI eligibility conditions are met.
Search for your own NEET application number in the OJEE provisional merit list right away and verify every detail against what you submitted. If anything looks incorrect, email odishaojee.mbbsquerry@gmail.com before 14 August 2026, 3:00 PM — this is your only window to raise it. Keep checking https://ojee.nic.in regularly for the counselling and choice-filling schedule that will follow this list.
