The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) has issued a directive requiring candidates to correct discrepancies in their Plus 2 documents submitted during the 2026 counselling process. A significant number of B.Tech., B.Arch., B.Plan., B.Cat., and Integrated MSc applicants with mark sheets from CBSE are showing a 'RT' (Repeat Theory) status in qualifying subjects. These candidates must verify their documents immediately to proceed with their applications.
Document Verification Issues
The OJEE cell identified that candidates with a pending 'RT' status do not meet the minimum eligibility criteria for admission. The notification stresses that any candidate whose documents were incorrectly marked as 'Verified' despite having an 'RT' status must withdraw their application from the system. This action is crucial to avoid future complications.
Failure to withdraw or report this error will result in the automatic cancellation of any allotted seat. The OJEE authority stated they will not be responsible for seat loss due to the submission or retention of incorrect information.
Action Required for Affected Candidates
Candidates experiencing this issue must adhere to the following steps:
- If you have an 'RT' status and your documents were marked 'Verified', withdraw your application online.
- If online withdrawal is not possible, submit a written notification to the OJEE office without delay.
This urgent notice applies specifically to candidates participating in counselling for B.Tech., B.Arch., B.Plan., B.Cat., and Integrated MSc programs.
Round 1 Deadline Extended for PG Courses
Separately, the OJEE has extended the deadline for document upload and seat acceptance fee payment for Round 1 of counselling for several postgraduate programs. The extended deadline is July 13, 2026, at 11:59 PM .
This extension applies to candidates seeking admission to M.Tech, M.Arch, M.Plan, MBA, MCA, MSc (Computer Science), and MBA (Working Professional) courses. The OJEE Committee stated this measure accommodates candidate requests and ensures a smooth admission process.
Candidates for these PG courses must log in to their accounts and complete the necessary steps within the new timeframe. The committee emphasized that no further extensions will be granted for these programs.
