ADVERTISEMENTIn an order issued on Saturday, the department stated that the relaxation applies to vacant seats across undergraduate, postgraduate and lateral-entry programmes offered by private technical and professional colleges in the state. Eligible candidates include those holding valid ranks in OJEE or other approved national-level common entrance examinations. Admissions must be processed purely on merit, and colleges are required to submit details of all eligible candidates who report for admission to the OJEE Committee. Circulars issued by the OJEE Committee had already informed colleges that seats left unfilled after the final reporting deadline would become available for institute-level filling. Candidates interested in these seats are advised to approach the respective institutions promptly and monitor official updates on the OJEE website for vacancy details.
