OJEE LE

The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination for Lateral Entry (OJEE LE) 2026 is a state-level entrance examination conducted by the OJEE Committee, Government of Odisha, for admission to the second year (third semester) of undergraduate technical programmes. OJEE LE stands for Odisha Joint Entrance Examination - Lateral Entry, and it provides an opportunity for diploma holders and graduates to pursue B.Tech and B.Pharm degrees by gaining direct admission to the second year of these programmes. The examination is conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode, ensuring a transparent and efficient evaluation process. The OJEE Committee, with its office located at Gandamunda, Khandagiri, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, is responsible for the entire admission process from application to final counselling. Lateral Entry is a valuable pathway that allows students who have completed their diploma or graduation to advance their education without starting from the first year. This saves time and allows students to build upon their existing knowledge and qualifications. OJEE LE 2026 offers admission to three main lateral entry programmes: LE to B.Tech for Diploma holders, LE to B.Tech for B.Sc degree holders, and LE to B.Pharm for Diploma in Pharmacy holders. Top participating institutes include government engineering colleges and private engineering and pharmacy colleges across Odisha. The courses offered are diverse, covering various engineering branches and pharmacy.
