Odisha NEET UG 2026 Choice Filling Underway With 2,009 Seats

Every year, students in India take a big test called NEET if they want to study to become doctors.

In the state of Odisha, students who passed that test can now choose which medical college they want to go to.

This step is called choice filling, and it is like making a wish list of schools.

Students have from August 14 to August 17 to make their choices on the official website.

There are 2,009 seats available in this round, including 1,870 for MBBS and 139 for BDS.

MBBS is a course to become a doctor, and BDS is a course to become a dentist.

After everyone submits their choices, the first results will be announced on August 19, followed by the final results on August 22.

Students who get a seat can keep it or give it back between August 23 and August 30.

Students should review their list carefully because once choices are locked, changes may not be possible.
