How to Submit Grievances on Odisha NEET Merit List 2026 (Till August 14)

If a candidate finds any discrepancy in the provisional merit list - such as an incorrect NEET rank, wrong category, missing name, or a data-entry error - OJEE has provided a formal grievance-redressal window before the final list is locked. As per the official notice, the process is as follows:

• Prepare a written representation clearly describing the discrepancy in the provisional merit list.
• Attach relevant supporting documentary evidence (such as scorecards, category certificates, or admit cards) along with the representation.
• Email the representation to [email protected].
• Ensure the email is sent on or before 14 August 2026, 3:00 PM. Representations received after this date and time will not be considered.
• Continue checking ojee.nic.in and odishajee.com for confirmation and further notices.

Candidates should note that the general counselling schedule notice had earlier indicated a query window ending at 11:30 AM on 14 August 2026, while the dedicated grievance notice issued on 13 August 2026 specifies the deadline as 3:00 PM the same day. Since the dedicated notice was issued specifically for this purpose, candidates are advised to treat 3:00 PM on 14 August 2026 as the operative deadline, while still submitting objections as early as possible.

Reservation Structure for 2026-27 (State Quota)

Multiple sources reporting on the 2026-27 admission cycle indicate that Odisha has revised its state-quota reservation matrix, with an increase in ST and SC reservation and the introduction of a new SEBC category. Candidates should verify the exact percentages against the official OJEE counselling brochure, as this article could not independently confirm the figures from a primary OJEE notice at the time of writing.
