Process of Selection and Seat Allocation

Candidates who are allocated seats in a round as per their 1st choice of preference will not be qualified to participate in the Slide-up process.
Fee Payment
Candidates who receive the offer of provisional admission have to pay the required fees within the specified time provided by the authorities. The fee payment has to be made in online mode. If the aspirants utilise the Slide-up and secure a seat, then they have to pay the differential charges only. If the amount is less than the differential admission fee, then the amount will be reimbursed to the bank account of the candidates provided in the online application form after the admission process concludes.
Download Intimation Letter
Once they make the payment, aspirants will be informed via SMS to obtain the intimation letter. They have to obtain the intimation letter from the official website and present the same while college reporting. Along with the intimation letter, candidates have to submit the essential documents at the time of the admission process.

Applicant Reporting
Aspirants who are on the selection list and choose the "Freeze" option will have to report to the specified institute for admission. Those who obtain allocation and take admission in phase 1 at the B.Ed institute are not qualified to participate in phase 2 (waiting list round, if organised). Please note that those candidates who have been selected in any rounds of phase 1 counselling can take part in the Odisha bed counselling 2025 for phase 2 (waiting list round).
Slide Up
The Slide-up option form will be activated in the candidate login for those who decided on the "Slide-Up" alternative after the provisional allotment list is out. The aspirants have to submit an OTP-based consent to be a part of the slide-up process for the subsequent counselling round. Slide-up opted students will be shifted to the B.Ed institute/ college as per the choice they added during the Odisha B.Ed choice filling.
However, this would depend on whether a vacancy is available in that particular institution for that stream and social category. If a candidate picks up the Slide-up option and acquires a seat in the upcoming selection round, then they have to enrol in the institution they decided on. If they fail to do so, then they will be out of the further rounds of counselling and admission.
For aspirants who provide their consent for future counselling rounds via the Slide-up option and do not procure an allocation, their consent will be considered for future rounds.
