Odisha NEET MBBS Counselling Documents

Every document an Odisha candidate needs, covering the national papers everyone has to carry plus the OJEE state-quota proofs. For each one: what it is, how to get it, what it costs, and the slip-ups that cost a seat.

Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE)ojee.nic.in Verified 7 June 2026

Odisha checks its military and Green Card quotas before counselling

A resident/nativity certificate is what gets you into the Odisha quota. What sets the state apart are two welfare quotas with their own rules. The Ex-Servicemen quota is not checked at the counselling desk: you go through the Rajya Sainik Board, Bhubaneswar, which verifies your claim and sends the list straight to OJEE. The Green Card quota needs the original, untampered Green Card, and its details must match your HSC exactly.

Two Odisha quotas with strict routes

Ex-Servicemen (ES). Apply through the Rajya Sainik Board, Bhubaneswar. It checks the records itself and sends the verified list to OJEE. Wards of personnel who are still serving are not eligible under ES.

Green Card. Bring the original, untampered Green Card. The name and date of birth on it must match your HSC certificate, otherwise you are moved to the General category.

You are considered for the 85% state quota and the 15% All India Quota run by the MCC. The documents below cover both. One difference for AIQ: your OBC certificate must be on the Central OBC-NCL list in the central format, because an Odisha caste certificate works for the state quota but is rejected for AIQ. If you plan to use both, get a central-list OBC-NCL certificate as well.

How long
Ready straight away if you have it.

Apply online for the SC/ST certificate issued by the appropriate authority of the Government of Odisha. Bring the original certificate that supports your category to document verification.
What it costs
Nominal.
How long
About 2 weeks.

Watch out: ST/SC candidates must produce a caste certificate from Odisha State only; an out-of-state certificate is not accepted. ST and SC seats cannot be swapped. There is no OBC category in the state, so OBC candidates are considered in the General category.

Start early, because the board takes time to verify.

Watch out: Wards of personnel who are still serving are not eligible under ES.

Original Green Card

Government of Odisha

What it is
The state's family-welfare quota for permanent Odisha natives whose parents hold a Green Card.

What it costs
Free at a government facility.
How long
Apply early; the Medical Board's schedule is put up on ojee.nic.in.

Time-bound
What it is
For the 15% State Government School horizontal quota, which runs across all the vertical reservations and the unreserved group.

How long
Instant if you already have it; allow time for any duplicate.

Watch out: Both halves must be government: 10th from a Government High School (BSE Odisha) and 12th from a Government Higher Secondary School / Junior College (CHSE Odisha). Private-school candidates do not qualify for SGS.

Compulsory Admission Bond (Rs.21 stamp paper)

Candidate, on non-judicial stamp paper (Annexure-A format)

Standard
What it is
The compulsory bond every candidate must sign and submit when reporting for admission to a medical, dental or paramedical course.
How to get it
Prepare and sign the bond on a Rs.21 non-judicial stamp paper in the format given in Annexure-A of the Government order (available on the OJEE website). Submit it, fully prepared, when you report at the OJEE office for provisional admission; you also need a signed bond at the allotted Government institution.
What it costs
Rs.21 non-judicial stamp paper plus nominal execution charges.
How long
Prepare it before you report; the bond is mandatory at provisional admission.

Watch out: The bond is mandatory for everyone reporting after allotment. If you report without the fully prepared bond, the admission is not completed and the seat is treated as vacant for the next round.

The Odisha checklist

  • Resident/nativity certificate: needed for the quota and every reserved sub-category; you must be a native of Odisha.
  • Ex-Servicemen: go through the Rajya Sainik Board, Bhubaneswar; start early, not at the desk. Wards of serving personnel are not eligible.

  • State Govt School (SGS): 15% horizontal; passed 10th from a Government High School (BSE Odisha) and 12th from a Government Higher Secondary School / Junior College (CHSE Odisha).
  • Category & income: current Odisha SC/ST caste certificate; EWS Income & Asset certificate from the Tahsildar for the last financial year (2024-25).
  • At admission: the compulsory bond on a Rs.21 non-judicial stamp paper in the Annexure-A format, signed before you report at OJEE.
  • No OBC quota in Odisha: OBC candidates are considered in the General category; an OBC certificate only helps at AIQ through the central OBC-NCL list.

About this guide

Verified 7 June 2026

Prepared by neet2seat. Rules, fees and timelines were verified against official sources as of 7 June 2026, using the 2025 counselling cycle as the baseline because the 2026 MCC and state information bulletins were not yet published when this was written. The 3 May 2026 NEET UG exam was cancelled; the re-exam is on 21 June 2026 with results expected in July, so every counselling date will move accordingly. Fee figures are from 2025 bulletins and can change. Cross-check the exact proforma, fee and signing authority against the official 2026 brochure before you get any certificate made. This is information, not legal advice.
