What is the difference between the provisional and final merit list of Odisha NEET counselling?

Yes, a dropper can take admission in 2026. Droppers (those who have passed their Class 12 exams in 2024 or 2025, are appearing in 2026) are eligible to apply for JEE Main 2026. This is because the JEE Main 2026 eligibility criteria include candidates who have completed their Class 12 or equivalent exams in 2024 or 2025 or are currently appearing for it in 2026.

Haan, Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Odisha ek private medical college hai. Private colleges mein admission ke liye NEET ke marks thode kam bhi ho sakte hain, lekin yeh har saal alag hota hai. 

Agar kisi student ke marks NEET mein thode kam hain, toh unhe management quota ya NRI quota ke through admission lene ka option bhi hota hai, lekin iske liye fees zyada hoti hai. 

Isliye, agar aapke marks 450 se 550 ke beech hain, toh aapko admission milne ki sambhavna achi ho sakti hai. Lekin, hamesha the latest cut-off aur admission criteria check karte rehna chahiye. 

The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) or the counselling authority of the state will allot the medical or dental seats based on two factors. First, candidates'NEET score/rank and the choice filled by them. If candidates' preferred seats are available, then it is allotted to them. In case the first preferred seat is already allotted to a candidate with a higher rank, then his/her next available preference is allotted. Candidates have the option to accept or upgrade the seat available to them.
