# Odisha NEET UG stray round allots 152 MBBS and BDS seats 2026-10-21T08:42:54+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) has allotted 152 seats in the NEET UG 2026 stray vacancy round, 78 MBBS and 74 BDS, and issued the schedule for provisional admission. Candidates must report in person to the OJEE office in Bhubaneswar on 22 October with original certificates, marksheets, photocopies and the applicable bond. Through their login, candidates must select the ‘Freeze’ or ‘Float’ option and complete payment. Those who fail to report on time will have their seat allotment cancelled and be excluded from further counselling. Details are available on the official OJEE website ojee.nic.in. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 152 seats in the stray round, split between 78 MBBS and 74 BDS, represent the last chance for candidates left unallotted in earlier NEET UG 2026 counselling phases. The OJEE's requirement to report physically on 22 October with original documents leaves no margin for postal or proxy submission, and the failure clause, immediate cancellation of the seat and exclusion from further counselling, is absolute. Candidates must decide between ‘Freeze’ (accept and stop) and ‘Float’ (accept and wait for a higher preference) before the reporting deadline. The remaining open question is how many of these seats will go unclaimed if candidates fail to meet the single-day reporting window. ## Coverage - odishabytes.com Neutral dates-and-rules report with no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
