- For B.Tech, B.Arch, or MBBS seats, candidates need to qualify the JEE Main 2026 or NEET UG 2026.
The result is expected to be in the first week of June, and the counselling process is expected to begin in July. On May 4 (Day 1), two OJEE sessions have been conducted smoothly so far.
- Shift 1 (9 am to 11 am) – Students reported that the paper's overall difficulty was moderate. Physics had some tricky numericals, but was manageable, while Chemistry and Biology were easy to moderate and score. English was very easy.
- Shift 2 (12:30 pm to 2:30 pm) – The paper was slightly tougher than Shift 1. Physics required more time due to application-based questions, Chemistry and Biology remained scoring, and English continued to be straightforward.
- Shift 3 (4:30 pm to 6:30 pm) – The paper was moderate and largely similar to Shift 1 and Shift 2. Physics had some application-based and calculation-oriented questions that took more time for many students, while Chemistry and Biology remained scoring with NCERT-level concepts. English and Nursing Aptitude continued to be straightforward to attempt.
The OJEE May 5 (Day 2) exam was done efficiently.
- Shift 1 (9 am to 11 am) – The paper was moderate with a high focus on foundational concepts. Physics was reported as the most challenging section due to a high volume of numerical questions, while Chemistry and Biology were scoring closely and followed the NCERT syllabus. English and Nursing Aptitude were straightforward, allowing students to save time for the science section.
- Shift 2 (12:30 pm to 2:30 pm) – The paper was moderately tough, particularly regarding time management. Physics featured more application-based problems than the morning session, while Chemistry had a notable emphasis on organic reaction mechanisms. Biology, English, and Nursing Aptitude remained easy to attempt, providing a balanced experience for most candidates.
- Shift 3 (4:30 pm to 6:30 pm) – The paper was moderate and largely similar to Shift 1 and Shift 2. Physics had some application-based and calculation-oriented questions that took more time for many students, while Chemistry and Biology remained scoring with NCERT-level concepts. English and Nursing Aptitude continued to be easy to attempt.
The OJEE May 6 (Day 3) exams were conducted smoothly.
- Shift 1 (9 am to 11 am) – Moderate difficulty. Physics: moderate with numericals & applications; Chemistry: balanced & scoring; Biology/Maths: moderate to easy (Biology easier for PCB). Students said the NCERT is aligned with Physics and requires time management.
- Shift 2 (12:30 pm to 2:30 pm) – Moderate, similar to Shift 1. Physics is slightly more application-oriented & calculative, Chemistry scoring, Biology/Maths moderate. Good overall feedback with strong performance possible in Chemistry + Biology/Maths.
- Shift 3 (4:30 pm to 6:30 pm) – Moderate difficulty. Balanced paper with Physics mix of theory & numericals, Chemistry student-friendly, Biology/Maths direct & scoring. Similar to earlier shifts, time management in Physics was key.
The OJEE May 7 (Day 4) exams were also concluded efficiently.
- Shift 1 (9 am to 11 am) – Overall moderate difficulty. Students found the paper balanced and manageable. Quantitative and Verbal sections were scored for well-prepared candidates, while some reported Logical Reasoning and GA as straightforward. Time management was key.
- Shift 2 (12:30 pm to 2:30 pm) – Moderate to tough overall. Many students described it as lengthy. Quantitative Techniques moderate (calculation-heavy); Logical Reasoning easy to moderate; Verbal moderate to difficult (RC-focused); General Awareness easy. Good attempts around 85–100.
- Shift 3 (4:30 pm to 6:30 pm) – Easy to moderate (as per final shift feedback). Similar pattern to Shift 2, but felt slightly easier for most. Students reported better scoring opportunities in the Reasoning and GA sections. The paper was considered fair with no major surprises.
Further updates regarding student reactions and shift-wise analysis will be shared shortly.

In the state of Odisha, for most Master of Technology (MTech) admissions, the rule is that you must have a valid entrance exam or ranking score, such as from the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE). Without such a score, direct admission is not permitted unless the institute has a special quota or waiver, which is rare. Therefore, you should assume you need to appear in OJEE (oran accepted equivalent) to apply for an MTech in Odisha.
The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) 2025 was held from May 2 to May 12, 2025 in multiple shifts as a computer-based test for admission to various undergraduate and postgraduate courses including pharmacy and engineering in Odisha.

No, admission to B.Tech programmes in Odisha is not determined on the results of the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE). Rather, government engineering institutes typically use the JEE Mains score as the basis for admission to B.Tech programmes. However, the board would hold a second entrance exam known as special OJEE if seats remain unfilled after admitting students based on JEE Main marks. For admission to open seats in the BTech, Lateral Entry BTech, BPharm, MBA, MCA, and Lateral Entry MCA programmes, candidates must take the Special OJEE exam. June 2024 is when the Special OJEE registration window is most likely to open.
An examination administered at the state level, the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) offers a single window for admission to undergraduate and graduate programmes in Odisha.
