Results will be published on July 25. Candidates can download rank cards and register their names online for filling of choices of colleges between July 27 and 29. First seat allotment will be held on July 30. Final allotment of seats and reporting to the college will be conducted on August 3, OJEE sources said.


Around 25,000 engineering seats out of 40,000 seats were lying vacant in different colleges last year in the state. Keeping the large number of vacancy in mind, this year several engineering colleges have reduced their seat strength by around 6,000 seats. So, admission will be held for around 34,000 seats this year.


The OJEE has started counselling of candidates, who got ranks after the OJEE 2018, for admission into different colleges. The actual vacancy of seats will come up after end of the process.


Results of the first OJEE 2018 had been published on May 25. A total of 42,283 candidates had been allotted ranks in the examination. The test was conducted at 81 centres across 20 towns in the Odisha on May 13.
