What is OJEE 2026 Round 2 Seat Matrix?
The OJEE Round 2 seat matrix lists all seats that remain available after Round 1 acceptance closes. Seats enter the Round 2 pool for three reasons: a student did not accept the Round 1 allotment, a student withdrew from an allotted seat, or a seat was never filled in Round 1. The Round 2 pool is typically larger in self-financed colleges and smaller in government institutions where seats fill quickly in Round 1.
Students allotted seats in Round 1 who upgraded their preferences may also receive a different allotment in Round 2. If a student is allotted a better choice in Round 2, the Round 1 seat is automatically released back into the pool and becomes visible in the updated seat matrix.
Course-Wise Total Seat Distribution
OJEE 2026 counselling covers lateral entry B.Tech, MBA, MCA and postgraduate technical programmes. The table below shows the total approved intake across all participating colleges. Round 2 seats are a subset of this total, reflecting what remained after Round 1 allotment.
| Course | Participating Colleges | Total Approved Seats (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech Lateral Entry (Diploma) | 89 | 14,000+ |
| MBA | 86 | 5,800+ |
| MCA | 44 | 2,800+ |
| M.Tech / M.Arch / M.Plan | Multiple | 2,000+ |
| MSc Computer Science | Multiple | 600+ |
Of the total participating engineering colleges, 8 are government or government-aided institutions and 81 are self-financed. Self-financed colleges hold the bulk of seats, so Round 2 availability is highest in private engineering and management institutions.
B.Tech Lateral Entry: College-Wise Seats
The table below shows approximate seat intake for major colleges participating in OJEE 2026 B.Tech lateral entry counselling. Remaining seats after Round 1 vary by branch and category. Figures are based on 2025 approved intake and are expected to be similar in 2026.
| College Name | Location | Type | LE-Tech Seats (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT) | Burla | Government | 180 |
| College of Engineering and Technology (CET) | Bhubaneswar | Government | 180 |
| Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology (IGIT) | Sarang | Government | 162 |
| Parala Maharaja Engineering College (PMEC) | Berhampur | Government | 180 |
| Gandhi Institute of Engineering and Technology (GIET) | Gunupur | Government-Aided | 162 |
| Silicon Institute of Technology | Bhubaneswar | Self-Financed | 90 |
| Trident Academy of Technology | Bhubaneswar | Self-Financed | 90 |
| ITER (Siksha O Anusandhan University) | Bhubaneswar | Deemed | 120 |
Government college seats for LE-Tech are almost entirely filled in Round 1. Students targeting government institutions who did not receive a Round 1 allotment should closely monitor Round 2 for any upgraded or rejected seats that re-enter the pool.
MBA and MCA: College-Wise Seats
MBA and MCA admissions through OJEE 2026 cover a large number of colleges across Odisha. The following table lists key institutions and their approximate seat intake based on 2025 data. Actual Round 2 availability will be confirmed in the seat matrix published after July 15, 2026.
| College Name | Course | Location | Seats (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utkal University | MCA | Bhubaneswar | 60 |
| Berhampur University | MCA | Berhampur | 60 |
| VSSUT Burla | MCA | Burla | 60 |
| Ravenshaw University | MBA / MCA | Cuttack | 60 |
| Sambalpur University | MBA | Sambalpur | 60 |
| BPUT-affiliated private colleges | MBA | Various | 30 to 120 per college |
| BPUT-affiliated private colleges | MCA | Various | 30 to 60 per college |
MBA seats in self-financed colleges frequently remain available through Round 2 and Round 3 owing to lower demand relative to total intake. Students interested in MBA programmes at private colleges have a strong chance of securing admission even in later rounds.
