Following the conclusion of the registration period, the OJEE committee is scheduled to release the round 3 merit list on October 1, 2026. Once the merit list is published, the choice-filling window will open, allowing candidates to select their preferred medical colleges and courses. This window will remain active from October 1 through October 4, 2026.

To apply, candidates should visit the official counselling website and register using their NEET UG 2026 application credentials. The process involves entering personal and academic information, uploading the necessary documentation, and paying the required counselling registration fee. After completing the choice-filling and locking process, applicants are advised to download and retain the confirmation page for their records.

Special Requirements for PwBD Candidates

The OJEE committee has issued specific instructions for candidates falling under the Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) category. These individuals are required to undergo a mandatory eligibility assessment conducted by the Medical Assessment Board of OJEE. The assessment will take place at LT-II, SCB Medical College, Cuttack, Odisha.

To participate in the counselling process, PwBD candidates must present the necessary documentation to the board to obtain an official eligibility certificate. This certificate is a prerequisite for their inclusion in the state quota counselling process for the 2026 academic session. Candidates are encouraged to monitor the official OJEE portal regularly for any further updates or changes to the counselling schedule.
