OJEE has notified the revised timeline for Round 2 of NEET UG 2026 counselling for MBBS and BDS admissions under the Odisha state quota.

Eligibility and Documents Required
Candidates who appeared in NEET UG 2026 and meet Odisha state eligibility norms are expected to be eligible for Round 2. Candidates should keep the following ready:
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard
- Class 10 and Class 12 certificates
- Photo identity proof
- Category and domicile certificates (where applicable)
- Round 1 allotment letter, if applicable
Why the Schedule Was Revised
The revision is part of a broader nationwide adjustment to NEET UG 2026 Round 2 counselling dates. MCC revised the All India Quota (AIQ) Round 2 schedule, with AIQ registration running from September 3 to 8, and state quota counselling across several states – including Odisha – has been aligned to run from September 7 to 11. OJEE has not cited a specific reason beyond adopting the revised central timeline.
Candidates should note that Odisha’s state quota dates differ slightly from the AIQ schedule and should avoid confusing the two while registering.

- Register within the September 7–8 window.
