Latest Update: Round 1 Provisional Seat Allotment Result Out

As per the official notice board of OJEE, the provisional allotment of candidates (common state rank wise) among those who filled choices for the MBBS/BDS Round 1 counselling has been published. This follows the earlier release of the provisional and final state merit lists for MBBS/BDS admission 2026-27, and comes after the counselling schedule underwent more than one revision, including a 2nd revised Round 1 counselling activity notice issued by OJEE. Candidates are advised to check the live status and the most recent notices directly on the official portal, since dates for individual counselling activities were revised more than once this year.

Seat Acceptance and Reporting

Candidates allotted a seat in Round 1 need to complete the seat acceptance process, which typically includes online reporting or fee payment, followed by document verification at the allotted institute within the deadline notified by OJEE. Since the counselling schedule has been revised more than once this year, candidates should treat the dates on their login dashboard and the latest official notice as final, rather than relying solely on earlier published schedules.

Candidates are advised to carefully verify their allotted college, course and category before proceeding with reporting, and to immediately flag any discrepancy to the counselling authority within the stipulated objection window.— General advisory based on OJEE MBBS/BDS counselling guidelines

What Happens Next

After Round 1 reporting concludes, OJEE is expected to prepare for subsequent counselling rounds to fill any seats that remain vacant, following the same broad structure of merit list, choice filling and allotment. Candidates should also continue to track their eligibility for All India Quota seats through the separate MCC counselling process, since AIQ and state quota counselling run in parallel and require independent registration, choice filling and login credentials.
