OJEE 2026 Exam Dates: From Registration to Result

The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) 2026 covered a seven-month span from January 28, 2026 (application open) through July 30, 2026 (Counselling Round 3). The main examination was conducted on May 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9, 2026, and the result was declared on June 8, 2026 — ahead of the initially projected 1st-week-of-June window. Web-based counselling for B.Tech, B.Arch, LE-Tech, and PG programmes is currently underway, with Round 1 seat allotment set for July 2, 2026. A supplementary 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 cycle is scheduled for July 13–15, 2026, targeting eligible students who missed the main cycle and seats still vacant at private Odisha institutions.

Note: The 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 exam dates (July 13–15, 2026) are tentative as of June 29, 2026. Students must check ojee.nic.in for the confirmed schedule, admit card release date, and any revisions before reporting to the exam centre.

Note: OJEE-administered programmes cater primarily to students seeking admission to Odisha-based institutions. Domicile requirements vary by course and institution; students should verify category-wise eligibility in the official OJEE 2026 information brochure at ojee.nic.in before applying.

Why Does OJEE Almost Always Fall in May?

OJEE’s May exam date is anchored to Odisha’s academic calendar. Class 12 board results for the Odisha Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) are typically declared in May–June, and the state government targets a July 1 academic session start for degree colleges. Holding OJEE in May allows enough time for answer key processing (roughly one week), result declaration (approximately three weeks post-exam), and three rounds of web-based counselling before the session opens. The 2022 delay to July was an exception driven by post-pandemic schedule corrections; the return to May from 2023 onwards reflects the normalised academic calendar.

OJEE Previous Year Exam Dates (2021–2025)

The table below traces the main OJEE exam dates over the past five years. Descending order shows the most recent year first.

Year Main Exam Dates Month Shift Timings
2025 May 2–12, 2025 May Three shifts (approx. 9 AM, 1 PM, 4:30 PM)
2024 May 6–10, 2024 May Shift 1: 8:30 AM–10:30 AM; Shift 2: 12:30 PM–2:30 PM; Shift 3: 4:30 PM–6:30 PM
2023 May 8–15, 2023 May Three shifts; CBT mode
2022 July 2022 July Delayed from May due to post-pandemic schedule revision
2021 May 2021 May CBT mode

Four of the past five years saw OJEE conducted in May, with 2022 the sole exception. The exam duration has stabilised at 5–7 days, with CBT as the mandatory mode since 2021. The shift to three 2-hour shifts per day (introduced in 2024–2026) reflects increased enrolment and the need to accommodate more papers within a single exam day.

Note: The 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 is a supplementary cycle — only students who did not appear in or did not qualify through the main OJEE 2026 cycle are eligible. Students already allotted a seat through main OJEE 2026 counselling are not permitted to appear in the 2nd/Special OJEE 2026.

What are the OJEE 2026 Exam Dates?

The OJEE 2026 exam cycle encompassed the main CBT exam in May, followed by result declaration in June, ongoing web-based counselling through July, and a supplementary 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 exam in mid-July. The following sub-sections detail each event in chronological order with actionable guidance for students at each stage.

OJEE 2026 Registration and Application Dates: January–March 2026 (Concluded)

The OJEE 2026 online application opened on January 28, 2026, with the brochure released simultaneously. Students had approximately two months to submit their forms, with the deadline originally set for March 22, 2026, and extended once to March 29, 2026. A three-day correction window followed from March 30 to April 1, 2026, allowing students to fix errors in submitted applications.

  • Form Correction Window: March 30–April 1, 2026
  • Application Mode: Online only, at ojee.nic.in

Ques. Was the OJEE 2026 registration deadline extended?

Ans. Yes. The initial last date to apply was March 22, 2026, but OJEE authorities extended it by one week to March 29, 2026. This single extension is consistent with OJEE’s recent pattern across 2023, 2024 and 2025, where one extension of 5–7 days was granted each year.

Ans. The OJEE 2026 main exam was conducted in three shifts: Shift 1 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, Shift 2 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, and Shift 3 from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Each shift lasted exactly two hours. A student’s assigned shift was printed on their admit card. The 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 is expected to follow a similar shift structure in CBT mode.

2nd/Special OJEE 2026 Exam Date: July 13–15, 2026 (Upcoming)

The 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 is a supplementary examination for students who could not appear in the main OJEE 2026 cycle. The application window ran from June 16 to June 28, 2026. The exam is tentatively scheduled for July 13–15, 2026 — within the 2nd week of July 2026 — as per the official OJEE notification. After results from this cycle are declared (expected 3rd–4th week of July), a separate counselling round will be conducted to fill vacant seats at Odisha institutions.

The admit card is expected in the 1st week of July 2026 at ojee.nic.in, and the result is expected in the 3rd–4th week of July 2026.

OJEE 2026 Answer Key Date: May 16 and June 8, 2026 (Released)

OJEE 2026 followed a two-stage answer key process. The provisional answer key was released on May 16, 2026, seven days after the main exam concluded. Students had until May 18, 2026 to submit challenges against answers they considered incorrect, paying the applicable challenge fee per question. After expert review, the final answer key was published on June 8, 2026, simultaneously with the result — a combined release that reduced the waiting period compared to prior years when the two events were staggered by days.

  • Provisional Answer Key: May 16, 2026
  • Challenge Window: Till May 18, 2026
  • Final Answer Key: June 8, 2026 (released with result)

Students who appeared under the Open Learning (OL) Board received a separate result on June 25, 2026 — 17 days after the main result — due to the additional score normalisation steps required for OL Board students.

  • Main Result (All Boards): June 8, 2026 — rank card at ojee.nic.in

Year-wise OJEE Exam Dates and Trends

The table below compares OJEE’s annual registration-to-result cycle over six years, showing how the schedule has stabilised after the pandemic disruption of 2022.

Year Application Opens Main Exam Dates Result Date 2nd/Special OJEE
2026 January 28, 2026 May 4–9, 2026 June 8, 2026 July 13–15, 2026 (Tentative)
2025 January 2025 May 2–12, 2025 June 2025 July 15–16, 2025
2024 January 25, 2024 May 6–10, 2024 June 2024 June 24–27, 2024
2023 February 2023 May 8–15, 2023 June 2023 June 26–29, 2023
2022 Early 2022 July 2022 August 2022 September 2022
2021 February 2021 May 2021 June 2021 July 2021

Three clear trends emerge from the six-year data. First, the main OJEE exam falls in the first or second week of May in five of the six years, with 2022 the only exception (delayed to July by post-pandemic schedule compression). Second, the 2nd/Special OJEE has moved progressively earlier — from September 2022 to late June 2023–2024, then to mid-July 2025–2026 — as processing speed for the main cycle improved. Third, the January application open date has become standardised from 2024 onwards, providing students a predictable two-month registration window before the March deadline. Students planning for OJEE 2027 can reasonably expect an application window opening in late January 2027 and a main exam in early May 2027.

Ques. Is there a pattern to OJEE exam dates across years?

Ans. Yes. Since 2021, OJEE has held its main exam in May every year except 2022, which was delayed to July due to pandemic disruptions. Registration opens in late January to early February and closes in late March, with results in June. The 2nd/Special OJEE has consistently followed within 6–10 weeks of the main exam. Students can use this pattern to plan for OJEE 2027 — expect application to open around late January 2027 and the main exam in early May 2027.

Will OJEE 2026 Be Conducted in Two Phases?

OJEE 2026 does not operate on a multi-phase structure like JEE Main. Instead, it runs a single main examination cycle followed by a supplementary 2nd/Special OJEE cycle. These serve distinct admission purposes and are not interchangeable rounds:

  • Main OJEE 2026 (May 4–9, 2026): The primary examination for all eligible students. Results from this cycle drive the three main counselling rounds (July 2–30, 2026).
  • 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 (July 13–15, 2026, Tentative): Open to students who could not appear in the main cycle. Rank cards from this cycle are used in a separate supplementary counselling round to fill seats left vacant after the main rounds.
  • No score merging: Scores from the two cycles are not combined. A student who appeared in both is ranked independently in each cycle; only the cycle under which they were counselled matters for admission.
  • Separate counselling for 2nd/Special: The 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 will have its own counselling round after results are declared in late July 2026.

Ques. Can a student use the 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 rank in the main OJEE counselling?

Ans. No. The 2nd/Special OJEE 2026 rank card is valid only for the separate supplementary counselling round conducted after its result is declared. It cannot be used in the main OJEE 2026 counselling rounds (Rounds 1–3, July 2–30, 2026), which are exclusively for students ranked in the main May 2026 examination cycle.
