Odisha medical colleges for NEET

Odisha has 17 medical colleges (MBBS) participating in OJEE state counselling: 13 government and 4 private. Together they fill approximately 1,575-1,810 state quota MBBS seats annually (2025 figures). Two additional deemed universities (KIMS and IMS/SUM Hospital, both in Bhubaneswar) conduct admissions separately through MCC.

Government vs private split

Type	Colleges	Total seats (approx)	State quota seats
Government	13	~1,675-1,925	85% (~1,425-1,635)

Total (OJEE)	17	~2,000-2,275	~1,575-1,810

Government college state quota is 85% of total seats (15% goes to AIQ via MCC). Private colleges allocate 50% to state quota, 35% to management quota, and 15% to NRI quota (based on observed allotment data; exact split may vary by college).

Government colleges in Odisha are among the most affordable in India (compared to Rs 50,000-1.5 lakh per year in most other states); the entire 5.5-year MBBS course costs around Rs 2.25-2.5 lakh. Private college fees under state quota are regulated but still 25-30x the government fee.

Deemed universities (separate from OJEE)

College	City	Seats	Admission through
Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS)	Bhubaneswar	250	MCC / institutional
IMS & SUM Hospital (SOA University)	Bhubaneswar	250	MCC / institutional

These deemed university colleges do not appear in the OJEE state counselling allotment lists. Their fees are higher (Rs 6.75-17.9 lakh/year for regular; Rs 20-22 lakh/year for management). If you want to apply to both OJEE state counselling and deemed universities, you must register separately for each process.
