OJEE 2026 Round 2 Closing Rank Overview

OJEE 2026 follows a centralised counselling process managed by the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Board. After Round 1 seat allotment, students accepted their seats or exercised the upgrade option for Round 2. The closing rank is the rank of the last student allotted a seat in a specific college, branch and category combination. Students with a rank just beyond Round 2 closing still have one more window in the Stray Vacancy Round.

All figures are expected closing ranks based on OJEE 2025 Round 2 patterns. Official OJEE 2026 Round 2 closing ranks will be published at ojee.nic.in after July 15, 2026. Round 2 closing ranks are generally higher (numerically) than Round 1 because more seats fill up as students upgrade college or branch preferences.

College-Wise Closing Rank for LE-Tech (B.Tech Lateral Entry)

LE-Tech admits diploma holders directly into the second year of B.Tech and is the most competitive program under OJEE counselling. The expected college-wise Round 2 closing ranks below are based on OJEE 2025 Round 2 data:

A rank below 2,000 is generally considered safe for securing LE-Tech admission at a government college under OJEE 2026. CSE at VSSUT Burla is the most competitive LE-Tech combination and is expected to close within the top 100 for the UR category. Students with ranks beyond 3,000 should focus on private colleges or watch for the Stray Vacancy Round.

MBA Government College Closing Ranks in OJEE 2026

OJEE counselling covers MBA admissions at government and private colleges across Odisha. Government MBA colleges attract the most demand because of their lower fee structure. The expected Round 2 closing ranks for key government MBA colleges, based on OJEE 2025 data, are listed below:

A rank around 15,000 is a reliable benchmark for securing a government MBA seat under OJEE 2026. Based on 2025 data, the overall OJEE MBA closing rank extended to approximately 63,000, meaning students with ranks well beyond 15,000 still have opportunities at private self-financed MBA colleges in Odisha.

MCA Closing Rank by Category in OJEE 2026

MCA is a competitive program under OJEE with all UR category government college seats expected to fill within the first 700 ranks. The expected category-wise MCA closing rank range based on OJEE 2025 data is as follows:

The MCA closing rank range reflects the spread from the most competitive government college to the least competitive participating institution. Students targeting top government MCA programs should aim for a rank below 400 in the UR category. SEBC, SC and ST students have historically secured MCA seats at closing ranks significantly higher than the UR category under Odisha state reservation policy.

Factors Affecting OJEE 2026 Round 2 Cutoff

Several supply and demand factors determine where the Round 2 closing rank settles each year. These help you assess whether 2026 figures will be tighter or more relaxed than 2025:

• Total qualified rankers: A larger OJEE 2026 rank list pushes closing ranks outward at less competitive colleges while top government colleges remain tight regardless of applicant volume.
• Seat upgrades from Round 1: Students moving to a better college in Round 2 release their Round 1 seats back into the pool, creating a second opportunity for students with higher ranks at those colleges.
• Branch demand patterns: CSE and IT consistently attract the most demand, keeping closing ranks tight. Civil, Chemical and Production Engineering branches see more relaxed closing ranks even at premier government colleges.
• New seats or college additions: Any increase in approved intake or new colleges joining OJEE 2026 counselling shifts the closing rank outward across all programs.
• Non-reporting after allotment: Students who receive an allotment but do not report for document verification create vacancies that spill into the Stray Vacancy Round, extending the last opportunity for students with higher ranks.

Students with ranks just beyond the Round 2 closing rank for a preferred college should check ojee.nic.in for Stray Vacancy Round dates after the Round 2 reporting deadline passes.
