The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) registration window is set to close tomorrow, March 20, 2025, providing candidates a final opportunity to apply for the entrance test that plays a crucial role in gaining admission to various undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
Launched by the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Committee, the registration process opened on January 30, 2025. Interested candidates can access the application forms through the official website, ojee.nic.in. With the examination scheduled to be held over several dates in May, this is an important reminder for potential applicants to complete their submissions before the deadline.
By taking the OJEE 2025, students can seek admission into numerous programs, including Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm), Integrated Master of Business Administration (MBA), and various other master's studies such as MCA, MSc, M.Tech, among others. The entrance test will be conducted in the Computer-Based Test (CBT) format, ensuring a modern and efficient examination experience.
The exam will take place on May 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 11, 2025. According to schedules released by the committee, candidates can expect their admit cards to be available for download from April 25, 2025. These will serve as a crucial component for accessing the examination venue.
Details regarding the marking scheme have also been made clear. For every correct answer, candidates will earn four marks, while one mark will be deducted for each incorrect response. Questions left unanswered will incur no penalties, encouraging students to attempt as many as possible.
To register, candidates must complete several essential steps:
- Step 1: Visit the OJEE official website at ojee.nic.in.
- Step 2: Click on the registration link specific to OJEE 2025.
- Step 3: Register by filling in personal and educational details.
- Step 4: Choose preferred courses and exam cities.
- Step 5: Upload necessary documents (including signature and photograph) in the specified format.
- Step 6: Pay the application fee. This is INR 1000 for a single course, with an additional INR 500 for each additional course.
- Step 7: Submit the application form and print a copy for future reference.
To aid candidates in the registration process, a set of guidelines about the required document specifications has also been circulated. The candidates must ensure their uploaded documents meet the detailed requirements, including proper sizes and types (jpeg/jpg). Remaining diligent during this phase can save valuable time and avoid complications later.
Moreover, once the application window closes, candidates will still have a chance to correct discrepancies in their applications through a dedicated correction window that will open at a later date.
The OJEE is particularly significant for students in Odisha, including those from outside the state. While outside state candidates can apply, they are not eligible for government colleges, though they can seek admission to private institutions as per the policy set by the Odisha government.
Overall, OJEE not only opens doors to academic pursuits but also significantly impacts the higher education landscape in Odisha. Given these implications, interested candidates are encouraged to act swiftly to ensure their applications are submitted in time as the deadline approaches.
Students intending to take the examination should regularly check the OJEE website for updates and any changes to the schedule or process that could impact their registration.
