Online MBBS Odisha Counseling Procedure
- Candidates who have completed the registration process and secured a position in the State Merit List must submit their preferences for the Course (MBBS/BDS) and College in the online counseling site of OJEE, following the prescribed schedule. They are required to lock their choices, and if they fail to do so, the system will automatically lock their choices when the schedule expires.
- The allocation of colleges and courses will be based on merit, and the candidates can download their Allotment Letters on the scheduled date.
- Subsequently, candidates must personally visit the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) office at Gandamunda, Bhubaneswar, on the specified date and time. They must bring all their original certificates, mark sheets, and other required documents for provisional admission. The candidates must also pay the Admission Fees online or through a demand draft, depending on the allotted College. Additionally, they will have the choice between Freeze or Float as per their preference. Candidates must submit their original College Leaving Certificate/School Leaving Certificate and will be issued a provisional admission letter.
- The same procedure will be repeated for the 2nd round of counseling.
- After the counseling process, candidates must report to the authorities of the allotted institution within the specified date mentioned in the notification. They need to submit a copy of the provisional admission letter to complete the admission process at the institutional level.
- If a candidate decides to resign from the admission before the designated date for withdrawal/resignation, they will receive a refund of 90% of the admission fees. In comparison, the remaining 10% will be retained as processing fees. However, if the candidate resigns after the specified date, resulting in a lapsed seat, no fees will be refunded, and a financial penalty of Rs.1 lakh will be imposed.
- If vacancies still exist after the 2nd round of counseling, upgradation/internal sliding among candidates who have opted for the float option will be processed.
- the Chairman may announce a spot counseling session if vacancies remain. Candidates must be physically present to participate in the spot counseling, and no authorization will be accepted. The guidelines and schedule for the spot round will be published in due course.
- Any remaining unfilled seats in private institutions after the spot round counseling will be handed over to the respective institutions for counseling and admission based on the NEET UG 2023 merit list.
- The Chairman will notify detailed procedures and schedules for different rounds of counseling, choice locking, provisional admission, reporting, etc. Candidates are advised to visit the website www.ojee.nic.in for updates and stay informed regularly.
Seat Allotment
- Allotment of seats will be strictly based on the State Merit List prepared by OJEE, considering the candidate’s choice of subject and the College locked during the counseling process.
- If a candidate is allocated a seat in any round of counseling according to their first choice and accepts admission for that seat, they will not be eligible to participate in subsequent rounds of counseling. However, if the allotment is not as per their first choice, they can decide whether or not to participate in the next rounds to improve their allotment. Candidates can choose Freeze (retain the current allotment) or Float (seek an improved allotment).
- In the second round, newly registered candidates who have completed document verification, candidates who were not allotted seats in the first round, and applicants who were allotted seats in the first round but did not report for admission must submit a fresh set of choices within the specified deadline.
- Candidates who have already taken admission in the first round and selected the Freeze or Float option are not required to fill in any additional choices for the second round. Candidates who chose Freeze will retain their first-round allotment. In contrast, candidates who selected Float may have their allotment upgraded or retained based on their rank and available seats per their preferences.
- Once a candidate is upgraded to a new allotment in the second round, they must accept the new seat, and the seat allotted to them in the first round will be canceled and allocated to other candidates based on merit and choice.
- If a student, after being allotted a seat in a round, doesn’t take provisional admission, their allotment will be canceled, and the seat will be considered vacant for the subsequent round. However, they are still eligible to participate in subsequent rounds.
- Candidates who have already taken admission under a specific reserved category cannot switch to another category within the same College.
Student Admission
- Candidates who have secured admission through the All India Counseling process and have retained their seats after the 2nd round of All India counseling are strictly prohibited from surrendering the seat or seeking admission through the state counseling process. Any candidate found doing so will face legal action.
- Once the final counseling process is completed, OJEE will provide the list of admitted students, the fees, and original documents to the respective institutes.
- If any amount is eligible for a refund per the rules, it will be processed after the final admission process concludes. Candidates must submit a plain paper application to the Chairman of OJEE and a copy of the provisional admission letter to request such a refund.
- Institute-level activities: Upon receiving the provisionally admitted candidates’ list, documents, and fees, the respective institutions’ authorities will carry out the final admission process. Suppose a candidate, after taking admission to the allotted seat, decides to resign for any reason after the designated withdrawal/resignation date but before completing the course. In that case, they will be liable to pay a financial penalty of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh). The candidate’s original documents/CLC will not be returned until the penalty is paid, and the entire admission fees deposited will not be refunded. However, in the case of a candidate who is selected for a better option of subject or institution, such a penalty may be relaxed. The DMET, Odisha, will make the final decision with intimation to the H & FW Department. Additionally, admission is subject to the medical fitness of the candidate, who must provide a Medical Fitness Certificate when joining the allotted institute.

Online MD/MS Odisha Counseling Procedure
1. The counseling process will consist of four rounds conducted by the state. The first and second rounds will be online, while the Mop-up and Stray vacancy rounds will be conducted physically. However, all rounds may be conducted online if required, as determined by the selection committee.
2. All candidates who are listed in the merit and wish to participate in the counseling procedure must register on the DMET website, www.dmetodisha.gov.in, in the appropriate admission section. During registration, candidates will create a personal username and password for accessing the online counseling site. It is important to keep the username and password confidential and not share them with others.
3. After logging into the site, candidates must complete the online application form and submit it by clicking the “submit” button. They should also take a printout of the online application form for reference.
4. Candidates must attend the document verification session, which can be conducted virtually or physically. Virtual document verification will be done through platforms like Zoom or Google Meet, as notified. In case of an emergency, an authorized person can attend the physical document verification on behalf of the candidate with the production of an authorization letter. Candidates must pay the counseling/application fees of Rs. 2500/- through SB Collect (https://www.onlinesbi.com/sbicollect/Icollecthome.htm), submit self-attested copies of documents along with the originals, and complete the verification process. The counseling/application fee is non-refundable. After successful document verification and online grievance redressal, candidates become eligible, and their names will appear on the merit list. Candidates who fail to attend the document verification on the scheduled dates will not be included in the merit list and cannot participate in choice locking and subsequent counseling and admission processes. The Convener will notify any alternate method of document verification. Fresh registrations for further rounds of state counseling will only be allowed if there is a revision in the qualifying cutoff in the NEET PG score by the central counseling authorities.
5. Candidates must submit their preferred choices of courses and colleges (any number) in order of preference within the given schedule on the online site and lock their choices.
6. College and course allotments will be based on merit and the choices made by the candidates.
