Important Instructions for Allotted Candidates

• Freeze or Float: All allotted candidates must choose the Freeze or Float option through their login ID and complete the payment process. This option is considered only if an upgradation process is held.
• Non-reporting means cancellation: Candidates who do not report for provisional admission will be treated as non-reported and not interested. Their allotment will be cancelled, and they will be out of the counselling process and will not be considered for any further round.
• Upgradation: If seats remain vacant after the reporting schedule, OJEE will run an upgradation process. It will include all reported candidates and candidates who filled choices in the stray round but were not allotted a seat.
• After upgradation: Candidates who are upgraded to another course or college must download the fresh admission letter from their login and report to the final allotted college on the scheduled date and time.
• Spot round: If seats are still vacant after upgradation, a physical spot round may be held at the OJEE Cell, Gandamunda, so that the admission timeline set by MCC is followed. The detailed schedule will be notified later if needed.
• No withdrawal: Withdrawal or resignation will not be allowed after provisional admission in the stray vacancy round.
• Payment mode: Admission fees can be paid online through the candidate’s login ID or by demand draft. The draft must be in favour of “OJEE”, drawn on any nationalised bank and payable at Bhubaneswar. The candidate’s name and NEET application number must be written on the back, and the draft submitted at the OJEE office at the time of reporting.
• Who may attend: The candidate alone, or with one guardian, should come with the demand draft and all necessary documents.
• Provisional admission letter: On payment of the prescribed fees and submission of the original nativity certificate and CLC, the candidate will receive a provisional admission letter and an acknowledgement of the documents submitted.
• Refunds: Any refund will be processed after the final admission dates, as per government procedure. This applies only to students moving from private colleges to government colleges across rounds.
