Failure to pay the fee within the stipulated time will result in forfeiture of the allotted seat. The uploaded documents will be verified either automatically or by a Document Verifying Officer (DVO). In case of any discrepancy, the DVO may raise queries, which will be communicated to the candidate via email and SMS. Candidates must respond and resolve the queries within the specified deadline; otherwise, the seat allotment and document verification will be cancelled. If the submitted documents do not support the claimed category, sub-category, TFW, or women reservation, the verification will be deemed unsuccessful, and the allotted seat will be cancelled. Such candidates may still be considered for seat allotment with a revised profile in subsequent rounds, based on vacancies. Candidates who wish to withdraw from the counselling process may do so as per the counselling schedule, and only those who have paid the part admission cum seat acceptance fee will be eligible to withdraw.

Allotment round - ii : Newly allotted students must follow steps 7 to 10 as part of the counselling process. Candidates who are not willing to continue may withdraw their admission within the specified time limit as per the counselling schedule. Students participating in the 2nd/Special OJEE or JEE (Main) candidates who have not registered earlier are required to complete registration, pay the counselling fee of ₹450, and proceed with choice filling as per the given instructions.

Allotment round – iii (final allotment): Newly allotted students must follow steps 7 to 10, download the final allotment letter, and report to their allotted institute or college within the specified schedule. It is mandatory for students to carry the final allotment letter along with all required documents for verification at the time of reporting. Failure to report within the stipulated time may result in cancellation of the allotted seat.

Seat Allotments and Reporting at the allotted Institute: All allotted candidates who fail to complete the document verification process and do not pay the admission fee will be excluded from the counselling process, and their candidature will not be considered for any subsequent rounds of allotment. Candidates are strictly advised not to report to the allotted college after the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd round of allotment under any circumstances. They should wait for the final allotment, which will include any upgradation of seats or colleges based on their filled and locked choices. Candidates who choose to withdraw after any round of allotment will be permanently removed from the counselling and allotment process and will not be considered for further rounds or upgradation. Those who have opted for upgradation will be considered accordingly, and the final allotment results will be made available in the candidates’ login accounts. Candidates can then download their final allotment letters from the official website and must report to the finally allotted college for admission. Upon reporting, they will receive the registration card from the respective college or university. Candidates who have withdrawn at any stage will not be eligible for any further allotment or upgradation, while the remaining registered candidates, whether allotted earlier or not, will be considered for upgradation based on their freeze or float options.

Seat allotment procedure, reservation of seats: For seat allotment, a candidate’s rank, eligibility, reservation criteria, and other relevant factors will be thoroughly verified. Admission will be granted only after successful verification of credentials and documents during the counselling process. The seat allotment will be carried out based on the choices filled and locked by the candidates, as recorded on the server. During allotment, the candidate’s rank and category will be considered as per their declared information. The process will evaluate all the choices filled by the candidate in order of preference at each stage. There is no limit on the number of choices a candidate can fill, and it is strongly recommended to provide the maximum number of preferences to enhance the chances of allotment. Before the allotment process begins for any program, three essential steps must be completed as per the prescribed procedure.

List of documents to be uploaded online as per requirement:

Document Verification: Candidates are not required to visit any location for document verification, as the entire process will be conducted online only. All allotted candidates must upload self-attested copies of the required documents within the specified date and time through their registered login ID. The document verification will be carried out either automatically using data from the respective Boards or Universities or by a designated Verifying Officer. In case of any discrepancy, the Verifying Officer may raise a query, which the candidate must resolve within the stipulated time. Failure to do so will result in the verification being marked as unsuccessful, leading to cancellation of the allotted seat. Such candidates will then be treated as unallotted and may be considered for subsequent rounds of allotment, subject to the submission of an undertaking, availability of vacant seats, successful verification of other documents, and payment of the part admission or seat acceptance fees. Candidates who fail to upload the required documents or do not pay the part admission or seat acceptance fees within the specified time will be excluded from further rounds of allotment and removed from the counselling process. All candidates must ensure the accuracy and authenticity of the uploaded documents, as OJEE will not be responsible for the cancellation of any allotted seat due to incorrect or invalid document uploads during any round of counselling.

Withdrawal: All candidates will have the opportunity to withdraw their admission after seat allotment during the various rounds of counselling. The withdrawal option will be available only after payment of the part admission or seat acceptance fee. A specific last date will be announced for withdrawal, and no withdrawal requests will be accepted after this deadline. If a candidate fails to withdraw within the stipulated time, the amount paid as part admission or seat acceptance fee will be forfeited. The refund of this amount will be processed by OJEE only if the candidate withdraws within the scheduled withdrawal period and follows the prescribed withdrawal procedure. Therefore, no refund will be granted for any withdrawal requests made after the last date specified for withdrawal.
