OJEE 2026 Counselling Revised Schedule: Important Dates
Below is the consolidated OJEE 2026 counselling timeline based on the schedule announced by OJEEC and subsequent revisions reported for Round 3. Candidates are advised to cross-check every date against the official notification on ojee.nic.in, since counselling authorities can revise dates further at short notice.
Note on accuracy: The revision of the Round 3 allotment date to August 1, 2026, is based on the latest available media reporting on this update. Any follow-on changes to the online reporting window or the physical reporting deadline that may result from this two-day shift have not been independently confirmed at the time of writing. Candidates should treat the August 3, 2026 physical reporting date as tentative and verify the final, revised reporting window directly on ojee.nic.in before making travel or document-submission plans.
