The Odisha Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Fixation of Fee) Amendment Act, 2016

Education20165 sections

The Act amends the Odisha Professional Education Institutions Act to streamline and regulate admissions into professional colleges in Odisha. It establishes a centralized entrance test, the Joint Entrance Examination, and mandates that all colleges—including government and private—allocate seats through merit-based entrance exams followed by centralized counselling. After the main counselling rounds, the government sets procedures to fill any remaining vacancies, ensuring no candidate who has already participated can be reconsidered. The legislation repeals a previous ordinance related to admissions while confirming that any steps taken under that ordinance continue to be legally valid.
