The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination committee has published the vacancy position for State Quota MBBS and BDS counselling after the second round of admissions. Notice No. OJEE/0534 is dated 28 September 2026 and is signed by the Chairman, OJEE.

The PDF breaks vacancies by college and by reservation categories such as ST, SC, SEBC, UR and EWS, with further columns for sub-categories including PC and ES where applicable. The OJEE vacancy PDF dated 28 September 2026 is the controlling document for the numbers below.

Government MBBS seats still open

For government medical colleges without the EWS block counted in one subtotal, OJEE shows 64 vacant MBBS seats. A separate government block with EWS adds 23 more, taking the government MBBS grand total to 87 vacant seats after Round 2.

Individual government college lines include SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack (11), MKCG Medical College, Berhampur (12), FM Medical College, Balasore (4), SJ Medical College, Puri (6), BB Medical College, Balangir (5), Dharanidhar Medical College, Keonjhar (5), Government Medical College, Sundergarh (6), Government Medical College, Bhawanipatna (3), JK Medical College, Jajpur (5), PMP Medical College, Talcher (4) and Government Medical College, Phulbani (3). VIMSAR Burla, PRM Medical College Baripada and SLN Medical College Koraput appear in the EWS-inclusive government block with 9, 7 and 7 vacancies respectively.

Government BDS and private seats

SCB Dental College, Cuttack, shows 9 government BDS vacancies with EWS included. On the private side, OJEE lists 139 vacant private MBBS seats across Hi-Tech Medical College Bhubaneswar (64), Hi-Tech Medical College Rourkela (25) and DRIEMS Cuttack (50). Private BDS vacancies at Hi-Tech Dental College, Bhubaneswar, stand at 78.

How candidates should read the sheet

Category-wise columns matter as much as the college total. A seat shown under ST PC or UR OP is not interchangeable with another column. Aspirants still in the Odisha State Quota process should match their own category and special category status to the exact cell before they plan the next choice round.

OJEE has not, in this vacancy notice, rewritten the full counselling calendar. The sheet is a post-Round-2 stocktake. Candidates must pair it with the latest OJEE counselling schedule and instructions on the official OJEE portal for the next action dates.

Why Round 2 leftovers still matter

Eighty-seven government MBBS vacancies after two rounds is a large residual for a State Quota pool. Private capacity on the same sheet is larger still. Students who sat out earlier rounds or who are open to a college shift should treat the 28 September vacancy file as the factual base for any remaining State Quota movement in Odisha this season.

SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, and MKCG Medical College, Berhampur, together account for a visible share of the open government MBBS seats on the sheet. Smaller newer government colleges such as Phulbani, Bhawanipatna and Talcher also show residual seats, which may matter for candidates willing to move beyond the older coastal campuses.

Private vacancy totals are higher than the government grand total. That gap often widens after Round 2 when government seats fill first. Fee differences between government and private MBBS remain large, so candidates should weigh vacancy numbers against fee liability before they reshuffle choices in any further State Quota round that OJEE announces.
