How to Register for OJEE 2026 Counselling Online
The OJEE 2026 counselling registration process is fully online. Follow these eight steps to complete registration for LE-Tech, LE-Pharm or any PG programme:
- Open the correct registration portal: Visit ojee.nic.in and go to the Candidate Activity Board. Click "Registration for LE-TECH(DIPLOMA)/LE-B.SC./Int.MBA and Working Professionals Counselling" for lateral entry courses or "Registration for MBA/MCA/M.Tech/M.Arch/M.Plan" for PG courses.
- Login via JanParichay: Students without a government email id must log in or register through JanParichay using a personal email id such as Gmail or Yahoo. Students with @nic.in or @gov.in accounts may use Parichay SSO.
- Complete online registration: Enter your OJEE 2026 application number, name, date of birth and other required personal details. The system retrieves your rank, gender and category automatically from the database.
- Pay the counselling registration fee: Pay Rs 450 (non-refundable) through debit card, credit card or net banking. Payment confirmation activates your counselling account.
- Fill choices: Access the Choice Filling module and select your preferred institutes and programmes in your order of preference. Fill at least 15 to 20 choices to maximise allotment chances across all three rounds.
- Check the mock allotment: Once the mock allotment is published, review your simulated seat allocation. Revise your choice order before the locking deadline if the simulated seat does not meet your expectations.
- Lock your choices: Submit your final preference list before the deadline. This action is irreversible — the same locked list is used for all three allotment rounds and cannot be edited after locking.
- Download the allotment letter and report: After round-wise results are declared, download your allotment letter, pay the Part Admission Fee and complete online reporting within the given window to confirm your seat.
