Background: Odisha NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 2

Odisha NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 2 covers MBBS and BDS admission under the 85 percent state quota at government and private medical and dental colleges in Odisha, based on NEET UG rank, Odisha domicile status, category and seat availability. Round 2 registration for new candidates was open from September 7 (11:30 AM) to September 8, 2026 (11:59 PM). Candidates from Round 1 who were included in the state merit list but not allotted a seat did not need to register again and could directly join choice filling once it opened. Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1, completed the seat acceptance fee payment and document verification, and wish to seek an upgrade were also permitted to participate in Round 2 choice filling.

Odisha NEET UG Round 2 Vacant Seats

Along with the merit list, OJEE has also released the Round 2 vacant seat matrix. Early reports indicate around 164 MBBS and 102 BDS seats are vacant across participating government and private colleges in the state, though total vacancy figures have varied slightly across sources. Candidates are strongly advised to verify the exact, college-wise and category-wise vacancy details on the official Round 2 seat matrix before finalising their choices, rather than relying only on initial reported figures.
