OJEE answer key 2026 released: Objection window opens today- check last date, how to apply, fees and more

The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Board has released the provisional answer key and recorded responses for OJEE 2026. Candidates who appeared for the undergraduate, postgraduate and lateral entry entrance exams can now check and download the documents from the official website.

In a revised public notice issued on May 14, the board said the display of provisional answer keys and recorded responses will begin from May 16, 2026. The notice replaced an earlier notification issued on May 11.

Candidates who are not satisfied with the provisional answer key can raise objections till May 18, 2026. To challenge any answer, candidates will have to pay a processing fee of Rs 100 per question. The board said the fee will be refunded only if the objection is accepted after review by the OJEE Committee.

The objection facility will remain active till 11:59 pm on May 18, while fee payment through debit card, credit card, net banking or Paytm can be completed till 12 midnight on the same day. The board has clarified that no challenge will be accepted without payment of the processing fee.

According to the notice, all objections will be reviewed by a panel of subject experts. If any challenge is found valid, the answer key will be revised. The final OJEE result will be prepared on the basis of the revised final answer key. The board also said candidates will not be informed individually about whether their objections were accepted or rejected, and the final decision taken by experts will be binding.

The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Committee conducts entrance tests and counselling for several undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in universities, government colleges and self-financed institutes in Odisha.

For the 2026-27 academic session, OJEE is being conducted for courses including BPharm, Basic BSc Nursing, MBA, MCA, MTech, MPharm, Integrated MBA and MSc Nursing, among others.
