OJEE 2026 online document verification for Round 1 closes on July 10, 2026 at 5:00 PM — upload self-attested scanned copies of all required documents on the official OJEE portal before this deadline to avoid cancellation of your allotted seat.

The OJEE Board conducts centralised web-based counselling for Lateral Entry B.Tech, MBA, MCA, and B.Pharm programmes at Odisha institutions. Document verification follows a two-stage process: first, you upload scanned copies through the portal at the virtual reporting centre; then, you carry your original documents to the allotted institution on physical reporting day. The checklist below covers every document you need for both stages — organised by category and programme so you can prepare well before your reporting date.

  • Round 1 document query resolution deadline: July 10, 2026 at 5:00 PM — respond to any verifier queries before this time or your seat is cancelled.
  • Part Admission Fee to secure your seat: Rs 10,000 for General and SEBC students; Rs 5,000 for SC, ST, and PH students.
  • Upload self-attested scanned copies online first; then carry originals to the allotted college on physical reporting day.
  • Name on every document must exactly match your OJEE 2026 application form — any mismatch leads to immediate seat cancellation.
  • A valid Odisha Resident / Nativity Certificate is mandatory for every student, regardless of category.

How to Upload Documents for OJEE 2026 Online Verification

OJEE 2026 uses a virtual reporting centre model where document verification is completed online before physical institute reporting. Follow these steps carefully. The Round 1 query response window closes on July 10, 2026 at 5:00 PM.

  1. Log in at ojee.nic.in with your OJEE 2026 application number and password.
  2. Navigate to the Counselling section and select Upload Documents from the dashboard.
  3. Scan each document in colour at 200 to 300 DPI. Save files as PDF or JPG; keep each file under the size limit specified on the portal (typically 500 KB).
  4. Write "Self-attested" and sign across the photocopy before scanning. Do not write on the original — attest only the copy.
  5. Upload each file in the correct field and confirm all uploads before logging out.
  6. Check your dashboard daily for queries raised by the virtual reporting centre verifier. Respond within the given window — students marked "Not Reported" lose their allotted seat.
  7. After successful verification, pay the Part Admission Fee (Rs 10,000 for General / SEBC; Rs 5,000 for SC / ST / PH) on the same portal to freeze your seat.

Documents to Carry for Physical Reporting at the Allotted Institute

Once online verification is cleared and the Part Admission Fee is paid, you must physically report to the allotted institution within the schedule given by OJEE 2026. Carry all items from the complete checklist above plus the following.

  • Printed Seat Allotment Letter — download it from the portal after each allotment round and take a printed copy.
  • Originals of all uploaded documents — the institution matches originals against the scans uploaded online. Originals are returned to you after verification; photocopies are retained.
  • Two sets of self-attested photocopies of every document — one set for the nodal centre, one for the institution’s admission file.
  • Gap Year Certificate (if applicable) — if there is a gap between your qualifying exam year and OJEE 2026, submit a notarised self-declaration affidavit on stamp paper explaining the gap.
  • Provisional Degree or Consolidated Marksheet — accepted if your final certificate has not yet been issued. Submit the original degree to the institution within their stated deadline.
  • NOC from Current Employer — required for working professionals applying to MBA or MCA programmes.

Originals are matched against uploaded scans and are returned to you after verification.

Ques. My SEBC certificate was issued in 2024. Is it valid for OJEE 2026?

Ans. No. SEBC and EWS certificates must be issued in the current financial year — 2025-26 or 2026-27 — to be accepted for OJEE 2026 counselling. A certificate from 2024 will be rejected during verification. Obtain a fresh certificate from your district Tahasildar before uploading documents.

Ans. Yes. An Odisha Resident / Nativity Certificate issued by the Tahasildar of the concerned Odisha district is mandatory for all students appearing in OJEE 2026 counselling. Students from outside Odisha who secure seats under management or NRI quota at private colleges may have different requirements — check the OJEE 2026 information bulletin for the applicable rule.

Ques. Can I submit a provisional certificate instead of a final degree for OJEE 2026?
