According to the OJEE notice, the extension applies specifically to the deadline for document upload and payment of the seat acceptance fee. Other activities and timelines in the counselling schedule will remain unchanged.
OJEE has advised candidates to log in to their respective accounts and complete the pending process within the revised deadline. The authority has also clearly stated that no further extension will be allowed.
What Candidates Need To Do
Candidates allotted seats in Round 1 should log in to the OJEE counselling portal, complete the required document-upload process and pay the seat acceptance fee within the extended deadline.
Earlier, OJEE's web-based counselling schedule had provided the Round 1 online reporting window for payment of the admission-cum-seat confirmation fee, document upload and the freeze/float option. Jagran Josh had reported that the counselling process covers B.Pharm, M.Pharm and lateral-entry pharmacy admissions for the 2026-27 academic session.
Candidates should carefully check their individual OJEE accounts and follow the instructions issued by the counselling authority. Completing the required formalities within the revised deadline is necessary for candidates seeking to proceed with their allotted seats.
The latest OJEE notice was issued by the Chairman, Odisha Joint Entrance Examination-2026.
