Odisha Joint Entrance Examination & State B.Tech Counselling • Conducted by Odisha Joint Entrance Examination Committee
A Genuine Answer Key Exists for the OJEE Written Exam; B.Tech Candidates Should Refer to JEE Main's Key Instead
For the OJEE written exam track, the OJEE Committee releases a provisional answer key shortly after each exam, typically opening a short objection window where candidates can raise concerns about specific questions, followed by a final answer key used to compute official results. For the B.Tech counselling track, there is no OJEE-specific answer key — the relevant document is the JEE Main final answer key released by NTA.
• Provisional Answer Key: Released within a few days of the exam for each programme category, allowing candidates to self-assess their likely score.
• Objection Window: A short window (often 24-72 hours) during which candidates can formally challenge specific answers, typically with supporting justification.
• Final Answer Key: Released after review of objections, used as the authoritative basis for computing final scores and the merit list for that programme category.
Since B.Tech admission is based entirely on the JEE Main score, any answer-key-related self-assessment or grievance should be directed to the JEE Main/NTA process, not OJEE. OJEE Committee has no authority over JEE Main's content or scoring and does not publish any separate key relevant to this track.
| Track | Answer Key Authority | Objection Process |
|---|---|---|
| OJEE Written Exam (LE-Tech, PG, Pharmacy, etc.) | OJEE Committee | Yes, short objection window after provisional key release |
| B.Tech Counselling (JEE Main Track) | National Testing Agency (NTA) | Handled entirely through the JEE Main objection process |
Immediately after attempting the OJEE written exam, candidates should note their attempted responses (where permitted) or reconstruct them from memory shortly after exiting the test center, then apply the provisional answer key as soon as it is released to estimate their likely score before the official result. This early estimate helps candidates decide whether to also register for backup options (such as private college admission through other channels) while waiting for the official OJEE result and subsequent programme-specific counselling.
• Genuine concerns about a specific question's correctness should be raised through the formal objection mechanism during the provisional-key window, with supporting justification where required.
• Objections raised after the formal window closes are generally not considered, making prompt action important.
• The OJEE Committee typically communicates objection outcomes through the final answer key release rather than individual responses to each objection.
Yes, for its written exam programmes (LE-Tech, LE-Pharm, MBA, MCA, M.Tech), OJEE releases both a provisional and final answer key with an objection window.
No, since B.Tech admission uses the JEE Main score; the relevant answer key is JEE Main's, issued by NTA.
Through the formal objection window opened shortly after the provisional answer key release, following the process specified on ojee.nic.in.
