Odisha MBBS/BDS state-quota counselling: revised tentative Round 3 schedule
Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) has published a tentative timetable for the third round of counselling and admission to MBBS/BDS courses under state-quota seats for the 2026 session. The notice is dated 21 September 2026 and identifies the change as consequential to a modification in the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) All India Quota schedule and a revision to Odisha's state-quota schedule issued on 14 September 2026.
What changed
The notice provides a revised, tentative sequence for Round 3: state-merit-list registration, merit-list publication, choice filling, provisional and final allotment-related activities, and provisional admission. OJEE has not reproduced the superseded dates in this notice, so applicants should rely on the dates listed here rather than infer changes to any earlier schedule.
Who is affected
The schedule applies to candidates seeking admission to MBBS/BDS courses under Odisha state-quota seats who participate in the third counselling round. Choice filling and locking are specifically stated to be for candidates included in the State Merit List.

- Check the provisional revised State Merit List when published and use the stated query opportunity if applicable.
- If included in the State Merit List, complete choice filling and locking before the deadline.
- Check the provisional allotment, follow the stated query process if needed, and then obtain the final allotment letter when it is published.
- If allotted and proceeding with admission, pay the admission fee and report to the OJEE Cell at Gandamunda with the required originals and signed bond.
Documents and reporting
For provisional admission, the notice specifically requires candidates to pay admission fees and report at the OJEE Cell, Gandamunda with original documents and a signed bond. It also says that the college-wise reporting schedule and necessary instructions will be notified separately. Candidates should therefore follow subsequent OJEE instructions before registering for or acting in different rounds.
