OJEE 2026 Registration Phase Concludes Following Extended Application Deadline

The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) Committee has officially concluded the online registration and fee payment process for OJEE 2026. Following a brief extension to accommodate a higher volume of applicants, the portal was permanently disabled on March 25, 2026. As of today, March 26, 2026, the committee has shifted its focus to the data verification stage and the upcoming correction window. This entrance exam is the primary gateway for admissions into B.Pharm, MCA, MBA, Integrated MBA, BCAT, M.Tech, M.Pharm, and Lateral Entry programs in various government and private colleges across Odisha.

The extension of the deadline was granted after several aspirants requested more time to finalize their documentation and complete the Aadhaar-based authentication. With the application phase now over, the OJEE Committee expects to release the final list of registered candidates who will be eligible for the computer-based test scheduled for the first and second weeks of May.

OJEE 2026: Important Examination Schedule

Following the closure of the application window, candidates must keep track of the following milestones to ensure a smooth transition to the testing phase.

Correction Window and Admit Card Details

For candidates who may have committed minor errors in their forms, the OJEE Committee will activate a correction window starting tomorrow, March 27. This will be a one-time opportunity to rectify specific fields such as the candidate's photograph, signature, and choice of examination centers. However, primary data like the candidate's name, parent's name, and category cannot be changed at this stage.

The admit cards will be made available for download on the official website, ojee.nic.in, during the final week of April. Candidates must use their application number and date of birth to access their hall tickets. It is mandatory to carry a printed copy of the admit card along with a valid photo ID to the examination center, as digital copies will not be accepted for entry.

Examination Pattern and Preparation

The OJEE 2026 will be conducted as a Computer-Based Test (CBT) across multiple shifts. Each paper consists of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) tailored to the specific course. For instance, the MBA paper focuses on Verbal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, General Knowledge, and Business Fundamentals, while the B.Pharm paper covers Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology.

Candidates are encouraged to take official mock tests available on the OJEE website to familiarize themselves with the CBT interface. Since the registration phase has concluded, the remaining weeks should be dedicated to solving previous years' question papers and identifying high-weightage topics within the prescribed syllabus.

Conclusion

The closure of the OJEE 2026 registration on March 25 marks the end of the first major phase of the Odisha professional admission cycle. With the examination dates set for early May, candidates have just over a month to finalize their preparations. Applicants should be ready for the correction window opening on March 27 to ensure their hall tickets are generated without errors. For any technical discrepancies or queries regarding the upcoming exam shifts, candidates can contact the OJEE helpdesk through the official contact details provided at ojee.nic.in.
