Odisha Joint Entrance Examination is a state-level exam for admission to various undergraduate, master’s, and lateral entry programmes. It is a centralised state-run exam for admission to many private and public medical, engineering, and management institutions in Odisha. B. Architecture, B. Pharmacy, BDS, MBA, MCA, PDCM, PGDM, M. Pharma, and M. Tech are among the courses examined after the 12th grade. MBSS and B. Tech courses were previously included, but they were removed after the announcement of the All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) and JEE (Main).
The OJEE exam is scheduled after the release of the JEE Main results. To acquaint yourself with the OJEE 2024 Syllabus, exam pattern, question types, and difficulty level, you can access previous OJEE question papers and sample papers in PDF format. The OJEE Committee will activate the link for the official OJEE 2024 Mock Test for each course on the official website. Taking the OJEE Mock Test allows candidates to gain real-time insight and analysis of the exam.
Candidates should take note that each correct answer in the OJEE exam earns +4 marks, while each incorrect answer results in a deduction of 1 mark. To ensure accuracy during the exam, it is advisable to solve as many mock tests as possible.
The number of students taking the exam has increased to around 300,000. The exam is accompanied by students who studied Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in the pure science stream in class 12 level. It is currently only being conducted for engineering colleges due to the announcement of the All India Common Medical Entrance Exam (NEET).
