The second round allotment list will be published on July 19. Online reporting for this round will be held between July 19 and 21. The second or Special Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) will be conducted from July 23 to July 28 for admission into vacant seats of these courses following the first and second rounds.
"Allotment to special OJEE candidates will be done from the vacant seats only. Therefore, care must be taken while filling the choice by second OJEE/special OJEE candidates," said OJEE chairman D P Satapathy.
The third or final round allotment will be announced on Aug 1. Online reporting will be done for this round from Aug 1 to Aug 3. All candidates will physically report to the colleges or institutions on Aug 1, and the reporting will continue till Aug 6.
"After final allotment, all candidates who paid part admission-cum-seat confirmation fee payment and verified their documents can download the final allotment letter and report to the finally allotted institute or college as per the schedule. Failing which, the allotment will be cancelled, and the vacant seats will be filled in institute or college level admission," said Satapathy.
He said the e-counselling process will guide students on how to choose their colleges and courses based on their JEEMAIN-2025 or OJEE-2025 ranks as applicable. "Students need to read the counselling brochure and step-by-step process carefully and stay updated with new notices, if any," said the chairman.
