Overview
The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) is the computer-based entrance test run by the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Committee, formed under the Odisha Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Fixation of Fee) Act, 2007. OJEE 2027 has not been announced yet. The latest official documents belong to the 2026 session, so the details below are labelled as per the OJEE-2026 information brochure (January 2026) and later 2026 notices.
The 2026 brochure covers entrance tests for first-year B.Pharm, B.CAT and Integrated MBA (5 years), nursing programmes, and lateral entry to the second year of B.Tech and B.Pharm. At postgraduate level it covers MCA, M.Sc (Computer Science), MBA, M.Tech, M.Pharm, M.Arch, M.Plan and M.Sc Nursing. Seats in B.Tech, B.Arch, B.Plan and Integrated M.Sc are filled on JEE Main performance, and MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BHMS seats on NEET (UG). The Committee runs counselling for these courses too, and GATE or GPAT holders can join counselling without writing OJEE.

Application and counselling
Applications are accepted online only, and only merit-listed candidates can join counselling. The brochure states that a candidate cannot add or change a course after completing the form, so the course is chosen at the start. Counselling is online: on 5 October 2026 the OJEE site listed round-2 registration for BAMS/BHMS and a revised third-round schedule for B.Pharm, LE-Pharm and M.Pharm, and a revised 2026 counselling brochure is posted on the site.
