Odisha NEET UG 2026 Counselling: Seat Resignation Window Active

Candidates who have completed the admission process but no longer wish to continue with their allotted seats can apply for resignation or withdrawal within the designated period.
It is important for candidates to complete the resignation procedure within the official deadline, as no requests for seat resignation will be accepted after the closing date.
Refund Rules for Candidates Resigning from Allotted Seats
Candidates who resign from their allotted seats after admission but on or before the officially prescribed resignation/withdrawal deadline will be eligible for a refund of approximately 90 percent of the admission fee paid by them.
