Everything you need to know about Odisha admissions, simplified.
**JEE Main** is a national-level exam used for admission into NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs. In Odisha, all state government engineering colleges and private universities also use JEE Main ranks for 85% of their seat intake. **OJEE** (Odisha Joint Entrance Examination) is used for B.Pharm, MBA, MCA, and Lateral Entry courses. *Note:* For B.Tech admission, you appear in JEE Main but participate in OJEE Counselling.

Typically, families with an annual income below ₹2.5 Lakhs (for ST/SC) or ₹8 Lakhs (for General/OBC) are eligible. Check specific scheme details on the Odisha State Scholarship Portal.
The **Green Card (GC)** quota is available for wards of parents who have undergone permanent sterilization (family planning). The **Ex-Servicemen (ES)** quota is for wards of retired or deceased defense personnel from Odisha. Both quotas offer significant relaxation in rank cutoffs in government engineering and medical colleges.
Standard documents for verification include: 10th & 12th Marksheet, JEE/OJEE Rank Card, Residential/Nativity Certificate (mandatory for state quota), Category Certificate (ST/SC/OBC), and Income Certificate (for TFW candidates).
