OJEE covers only lateral entry (second-year direct) B.Tech admissions and all postgraduate admissions. Candidates who want regular B.Tech must appear for JEE Main and register separately for Odisha counselling using their JEE Main rank.
GATE and GPAT Qualified Candidates and OJEE Result
GATE qualified candidates do not need to appear for OJEE to get M.Tech admissions. GPAT qualified candidates do not need to appear for OJEE to get M.Pharm admissions. Both groups register directly on ojee.nic.in for counselling using their GATE or GPAT score and rank. The OJEE Board prepares a separate merit list for GATE and GPAT candidates alongside the OJEE merit list.

Tie-Breaking Rules in OJEE Merit List
When 2 candidates score the same marks in OJEE, the board applies these rules in order to break the tie and assign separate ranks:
- Higher marks in Mathematics or the technical subject of the OJEE paper.
- Higher marks in Physics.
- Older candidate by date of birth gets the better rank.
OJEE Result: Marks vs Rank Table
Your OJEE rank depends directly on the total marks you score in the exam. Higher marks produce a lower rank number and give access to better college and branch options in counselling.
| OJEE Marks Scored | Expected Rank Range | College Access |
|---|---|---|
| 400 to 480 marks | Top 50 | Best government engineering colleges in Odisha |
| 350 to 399 marks | 51 to 200 | Top government colleges, competitive branches |
| 300 to 349 marks | 201 to 500 | Good government colleges, most branches |
| 250 to 299 marks | 501 to 2,000 | Tier 1 private colleges in Odisha |
| 200 to 249 marks | 2,001 to 5,000 | Good private engineering colleges |
| 150 to 199 marks | 5,001 to 15,000 | Tier 2 private colleges |
| Below 100 marks | 15,001 and above | Tier 3 colleges or may not qualify |
These figures are based on past OJEE exam cycle trends from the OJEE Board. Exact rank ranges shift slightly each year based on exam difficulty and the total number of candidates who appear. Get 400 or more marks in OJEE to access good colleges with competitive branches.
