The OJEE 2026 seat acceptance fee — officially called the Part Admission Fee — must be paid online at ojee.nic.in by July 10, 2026 to confirm your allotted seat in the current counselling round.
After the Odisha JEE Board publishes each round’s seat allotment result, you get a limited window to pay this fee and lock in your seat. The Round 1 allotment for B.Tech, B.Arch, B.Plan, Int. M.Sc, and B.Cat programmes is already out, and the fee payment deadline for this round is July 10, 2026. If you miss this window, your seat is cancelled and offered to the next eligible student.
- The Part Admission Fee is ₹10,000 for General and SEBC students and ₹5,000 for SC, ST, and PH students.
- Payment is made online only through the official OJEE portal — no offline or cash payment is accepted.
- The fee is fully refundable if you formally withdraw your seat before the final withdrawal deadline announced by the OJEE Committee.
- Paying the fee unlocks the online document verification step — you cannot proceed without completing this payment first.

What is the OJEE 2026 Seat Acceptance Fee?
The seat acceptance fee — officially called the Part Admission Fee by the OJEE Board — is an online payment you make after receiving a seat allotment to confirm you want the allotted seat. It is separate from the non-refundable counselling registration fee of ₹450 paid at the time of registration.
Paying this fee does two things: it reserves your seat at the allotted college for the current round and unlocks the online document verification step. You cannot complete document verification or college reporting without this payment. If you do not pay within the deadline, your seat is automatically released for the next round.

What to Do After Paying the OJEE 2026 Seat Acceptance Fee
Paying the Part Admission Fee is not the final step. Complete the following to fully secure your admission:
- Confirm payment status — log back into the portal and verify the payment status is Successful. Save and print the receipt.
- Complete online document verification — the portal unlocks this step after fee payment. Upload clear scans of all required documents within the verification window.
- Note the college reporting date from your allotment letter and plan travel accordingly.
- Report to the allotted college with original documents and self-attested photocopies on the specified date.
- Pay institutional fees — the Part Admission Fee is held by the OJEE Board; college tuition and other fees are paid directly to the institution at the time of reporting.
If you plan to upgrade your seat in a later round, do not physically report to the college — participate in the next round’s choice filling instead. Physical reporting to the college typically finalises your Round 1 admission.
