The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) counselling process began on Thursday. Students who had appeared at the entrance examination can participate in the counselling by registering themselves on the OJEE website, ojee.nic.in.
In 2016, the counselling was held in a new format as students are required to do choice filling and choice locking online. Earlier, the students had to visit nodal centres for their choice locking.
With the new format coming into effect, students would have to go to the nodal centers for verification of documents after choice locking. A total of 25 nodal centers have been set up across the State for the counselling process.
“Students are required to visit ojee.nic.in and participate in the registration process. Opening for different courses will take place in different dates. The counselling process will go through eight different stages. This year, we have made certain changes. Students can lock their choice online unlike previous year,” said OJEE Chairman Tushar Kant Nath.
Students’ choice will be locked and stored safely in the server. They are advised to enter their mobile number correctly as they will receive a one time password (OTP) in their cell phone, he added.
Notably OJEE results were declared on May 30 for admission into 12 courses except medical and engineering in the Government and private colleges.
