What Should Candidates Do After the Provisional Allotment?

Candidates should not treat the publication of the provisional list as the end of the admission process. Several important steps remain before the seat is finally confirmed.

Check the Application Number and State Rank

Candidates should first locate their application number in the allotment list and verify the NEET rank and Odisha state rank shown against their details.

Verify the Allotted College and Course

Candidates should carefully check whether the allotment is for MBBS or BDS and confirm the exact name of the allotted institution.

Check Quota and Category

The quota and category columns should be checked carefully because they form an important part of the seat-allocation details.

Check Whether the Seat Is Retained, Upgraded or Freshly Allotted

Candidates should read the Round 3 remark carefully. A candidate may have:

• Retained the previous seat;

• Received an upgraded seat; or

• Received a fresh allotment in Round 3.

This distinction is particularly important for candidates who participated in earlier rounds.

Download the Allotment Letter

After the final allotment is published, candidates should download the applicable allotment letter and retain both digital and printed copies for admission.

Complete Fee Payment and Reporting
