Anticipated Release of Odisha NEET UG Counselling 2026 Timeline; Review OJEE MBBS Registration and Recent Developments

The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Committee is poised to announce the schedule for the NEET UG Counselling 2026, which will facilitate admissions to MBBS and BDS programs under the state's 85% quota. Eligible candidates who have successfully cleared the NEET UG 2026 exam will be able to register online through the OJEE portal once the official notification is released. This counselling process is anticipated to commence shortly after the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) initiates the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling.

While the exact dates for the counselling process have yet to be confirmed, candidates are advised to prepare their documents in advance and stay updated via the OJEE counselling portal. The registration process will include several key steps, such as filling in personal and academic details, uploading necessary documents, and paying the counselling registration fee. Following registration, candidates will also need to fill and lock their preferred colleges and courses before downloading the confirmation page for their records.

To qualify for the Odisha NEET UG Counselling 2026, candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria set by the OJEE Committee, including domicile requirements for state quota seats. The detailed counselling schedule is expected to outline important dates for registration, document verification, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting, which are crucial for prospective students aiming for admission in the upcoming academic year.

Key documents required for the registration process include the NEET UG 2026 admit card, scorecard, Class 10 certificate (as proof of date of birth), Class 12 mark sheet and passing certificate, a valid photo ID, passport-sized photographs, and, if applicable, the Odisha domicile certificate, caste certificate, and PwD certificate. Candidates are encouraged to gather these documents promptly to ensure a smooth registration experience.

As the OJEE Committee prepares to release the counselling schedule, candidates are urged to remain vigilant for updates regarding the registration process and other related information. This year's NEET UG counselling is expected to be a significant opportunity for aspiring medical students in Odisha, and timely preparation will be essential for securing a place in their desired programs.
