Colleges that commonly accept OJEE MBA ranks in these bands include IMI Bhubaneswar, KIIT School of Management (KSOM), Regional College of Management (RCM), Utkal University, and Birla Global University. Annual MBA fees at these institutes generally range around INR 2–5 lakhs , depending on programme and specialization.
Normalization across shifts will be applied by the OJEE authority before final percentiles and ranks are published. Appearing in the exam is the primary eligibility requirement for OJEE counselling.
Officials will release final results and percentile/rank lists after normalization; use those official lists for counselling references and final admission planning.
