The registration process will close on November 18 and the merit list will be released on November 21. Admissions to 85 per cent of total seats in government medical and dental colleges as well as for private colleges will be done through this counselling process.

Interested candidates will have to register themselves on the OJEE New Candidate Registration page. After registration, candidates will have to fill online forms, make online payment of the registration fee of Rs 1,000 and upload required documents for online verification.

Colleges will be allotted based on the state merit list as well as the choice of subject and college locked by the candidate.

As per the schedule, the vacant seat display will be released on December 3 and the entire process will begin again. The registration for second counselling will be open from December 4 to 5. In case of seats still left vacant, spot counselling will be held on December 15.
