The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination board has published the provisional round 1 allotment for MBBS and BDS state quota seats, covering 2,002 candidates across 19 colleges. We read the full list and worked out what it says about where ranks actually closed.
Act today if something is wrong
Per the OJEE schedule, the window to raise a query on the provisional allotment opens at 2 pm on 25 August 2026. The final allotment and allotment-letter download follow at 11.30 am on 26 August. Provisional admission, by paying the fee and reporting at the OJEE Cell in Gandamunda with originals and a signed bond, runs from 28 August to 6 September.
This is a provisional list. Seats can move before the final result.
What the numbers show
| Course and college type | Allotments | NEET rank range |
|---|---|---|
| MBBS, government colleges | 1,548 | 80 to 10,95,255 |
| MBBS, private colleges | 326 | 28,127 to 10,77,898 |
| BDS, government colleges | 53 | 11,286 to 10,75,420 |
| BDS, private colleges | 75 | 41,697 to 11,86,129 |
Read those wide ranges carefully
A rank of 10 or 11 lakh appearing against a government college does not mean an open seat went that deep. Those are reserved-category and sub-category allotments, where the candidate pool is far smaller and closing ranks are naturally much deeper.
The number most candidates are actually looking for is narrower: MBBS at government colleges in the open category, with no sub-category claim, ran from AIR 80 to about 95,204 across 648 allotments. Everything deeper than that in the government-college column belongs to SC, ST, EWS, SEBC, PwD, Green Card or ex-servicemen pools.
BDS runs deeper than MBBS throughout, which is the usual pattern.
Three seat pools, not one
Odisha allots from three distinct pools, and the list marks each one:
- HS, home state — 1,694 allotments, the bulk of the round
- SGS, government school — 290 allotments, reserved for candidates from government schools
- NR, NRI — 18 allotments, paid seats
Mixing these together is what makes published Odisha cutoffs look strange, so it is worth checking which pool a quoted closing rank belongs to before comparing it with your own.
Where the seats went
The three largest allotments are SCB Medical College Cuttack and VIMSAR Burla with 211 each, and MKCG Berhampur with 208. Among private colleges, HITECH Bhubaneswar took 124 and DRIEMS 123. On the dental side, HITECH Dental College received 75 and SCB Dental College Cuttack 53.
By category, the 2,002 allotments break down as 626 SEBC, 528 general, 421 ST, 323 SC and 104 EWS. State ranks run from 1 to 6,217.
Our Odisha cutoff pages carry closing ranks by college, category and seat type from previous years, and the predictor works from either your state rank or your All India Rank. We covered the revised round 1 schedule when choice filling was extended.
