  • Revision: No amount of OJEE preparation can ever be enough if revision is not prioritized. It is very important to browse through important formulae and theorems before you enter the exam hall. Revise the short notes that you made during your exam preparation. Wake up early on the exam day and go through the notes once.
  • Be aware of your weaknesses: Note down the topics you haven’t been able to cover during OJEE preparation and steer clear of the questions on those topics. Remember that, there is negative marking in the OJEE exam so stay away from topics you are not confident of.
  • No to new topics: Do not start with a new topic a day before or on the day of the exam. If you start a new topic then you might not be able to catch hold of the new topic fully and this might, in turn, mess up what you have prepared. Stick to your strengths and improvise on them.
  • Focus on accuracy: Accuracy is a key player in the OJEE exam 2024. Candidates must make sure that they attempt the OJEE exam with accuracy. Only the correct answers will fetch good marks. Candidates must aim to attempt the questions within the given time frame as no extra time will be granted to the candidates. Time yourself well. Do not spend more than one minute on any question. Speed and accuracy will fetch you a good score in the OJEE exam.
  • Be calm: It is very important for candidates to be calm throughout their preparations and as well as on the exam day. Give your mind some rest before appearing for OJEE exam. Do not keep studying continuously for long hours and give breaks in between. This will lower the pressure and in turn, will help you focus in a better way. Have a good sleep of at least six hours before the exam day. Do not panic and stay confident.
  • Be ready with the important documents: Keep all the important and relevant documents a night before the exam. Make sure that you reach the OJEE exam centre at least an hour before the commencement of the exam. Candidates need to carry the OJEE admit card 2024, photo ID proof (original and photocopy), and two recent passport size coloured photographs. No digital copies will be accepted as valid.

Q:   Can I prepare for OJEE in one month?

A:

Preparing for the OJEE in one month requires a focused and intensive study approach. To prepare for the OJEE exam, students can begin by understanding the exam pattern, marking scheme, and the OJEE syllabus for their chosen course. Create a detailed study schedule allocating time for each subject based on your strengths and weaknesses. Focus on understanding core concepts rather than superficial coverage, and practice solving previous year papers and sample tests to familiarize yourself with the exam format. Utilize online resources for additional support and seek clarification for any doubts promptly. Stay disciplined, motivated, and committed to your study schedule, aiming for regular revision and multiple mock tests to assess your progress. While challenging, with determination, effective time management, and a positive attitude, it's possible to make significant strides in your preparation and perform well in the exam.

Q:   When should I start preparing for OJEE?

A:

Aspirants should start preparing for the OJEE exam at least six months before the test date.  This duration will be enough to complete the OJEE syllabus thoroughly and practice ample number of mock tests. The OJEE exam is similar to other MBA entrance exams so if a candidate has appeared for any other MBA exam before OJEE, they need to only do exam based preparation and focus on exam-specific mock tests. OJEE 2025 exam will likely be conducted in the second week of May 2025.

Q:   What is the OJEE exam?

A:

The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination OJEE is a state exam for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses in state government colleges in Odisha.

  1. Every year, this exam is conducted in online mode. 
  2. The duration of the exam depends on the degree for which you are applying. For example, the B.Pharma exam lasts three hours, whereas the MBA exam lasts two hours.
  3. The fee for one subject is INR 1000, and for a combination of subjects, it is INR 1500. 
  4.  The exam syllabus includes Quantitative Techniques, Reasoning, Comprehension, General Awareness, and course-specific topics.
  5. There is a negative marking of one mark for each incorrect answer.
  6. You can get admission to more than 40 government colleges based on OJEE results.
  7. This exam is not conducted for BTech, MBBS BDS or BA Courses.
  8. Regular admission to B.Tech is based on JEE, and for MBBS and BDS courses, the NEET is required. You can learn in detail about OJEE at this link: https://www.shiksha.com/mba/ojee-exam.

Q:   Is OJEE difficult to crack?

A:

The difficulty level of the OJEE exam can vary from individual to individual, as it depends on factors such as the candidate's background, preparation level, aptitude, and familiarity with the exam pattern. However, it is generally considered to be a competitive exam that requires thorough preparation and a strong understanding of the topics covered.

To crack the OJEE exam, it is important to have a comprehensive study plan, dedicated preparation, and consistent practice. Understanding the exam pattern, syllabus, and focusing on building a strong conceptual foundation will greatly contribute to the student's success. Regularly solving OJEE sample papers, previous year question papers, and taking mock tests will help the students get acquainted with the exam pattern, improve their speed and accuracy, and identify areas that require further improvement.

Q:   Is OJEE an exam for B.Tech?

A:
No, the OJEE exam is not held for admission to B.Tech programs in the state of Odisha. Admission to the B.Tech course is mostly done on the basis of the JEE Mains score in government engineering colleges. The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination OJEE is used to handle admission to the BCAT, B.Pharma BHMS and B.A. MS programs. For those who have an engineering Diploma, a special OJEE exam is held for lateral entry into the B.Tech programme. You must take the JEE Mains exam administered by the NTA in order to enroll in the regular B.Tech course.

Q:   What is the difficulty level of OJEE?

A:

The difficulty level of the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) can vary depending on various factors such as individual preparation, familiarity with the exam pattern, and the specific field of study. Generally, OJEE is considered to be of moderate difficulty, especially when compared to national-level entrance exams like JEE Main or NEET.

OJEE assesses candidates' knowledge and understanding of subjects relevant to their chosen field of study, such as engineering, pharmacy, management, and others. With adequate preparation, including a thorough understanding of the OJEE syllabus, regular practice with OJEE sample papers and OJEE mock tests, and strong conceptual clarity, many candidates find OJEE manageable.

Q:   What is a good score in the OJEE exam?

A:

A good score in OJEE can be subjective and can vary according to the level of difficulty of the OJEE question paper. What may be considered a good score for one course or category may not be the same for another.

According to the previous years' OJEE analysis the following can be considered a good OJEE score:

AnalysisScore
Very Good

700+

Good

500+

Average

450+

LowLess than 450

Q:   How would I know my OJEE test centre?

A:

Candidates will know their allotted OJEE exam centre only from the admit card. There is no way to know the test centre before the release of the OJEE admit card. The examination authority allots a test centre to aspirants in the city of their first preference as mentioned in the city. So, candidates can atleast be assured that they will get a test centre in the city they had chosen as first preference in the OJEE application form. However, the venue will be mentioned only on the candidate’s admit card. So as soon as the OJEE admit card is released, candidates must check the test city and test centre details. In order to avoid any confusion, they must visit the centre at least once before the exam day.
