About Odisha CPET & SAMS PG Admission

The Common Postgraduate Entrance Test (CPET) is conducted by the Odisha Higher Education Department for admission into postgraduate programmes — MA, MSc, MCom, and other courses — across 135 government and government-aided colleges and universities in the state. Admission is managed centrally through the Student Academic Management System (SAMS) Odisha PG portal. A distinctive feature of CPET is that it has no upper age limit for most programmes and does not impose strict domain restrictions for many interdisciplinary courses, making it accessible to a wide range of undergraduate degree holders.

How to Check Odisha CPET Round 2 Allotment Result 2026

• Visit the official SAMS Odisha PG portal — pg.samsodisha.gov.in
• Click on the link titled “CPET 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment Result” on the homepage/notice section
• Log in using your registered Barcode Number/Application ID and password (or the credentials used during choice filling)
• Your allotted institution, course/subject, and category will be displayed on the dashboard
• Download and print the provisional seat allotment letter for the reporting process

Merit Calculation — How CPET Rank Is Determined

• The CPET merit list is based on a combined 70:30 formula — 70 marks from the CPET entrance test and 30 career marks from the candidate’s Class 10, Class 12, and UG degree results
• This means a candidate’s academic background across school and undergraduate level also plays a role in the final rank, not just entrance test performance
• The provisional seat allotment considers this combined merit rank, along with candidate preferences (choices filled), reservation policy, and seat availability in each round

Freeze, Slide & Float — What Do They Mean?

• Freeze: You accept the allotted seat as final and exit the counselling process — you will not be considered in any subsequent round
• Slide: You accept the current seat but wish to be considered for a better course/subject within the same institution in the next round
• Float: You accept the current seat as a backup but remain open to a better allotment at any institution and course in the next round
• Candidates who chose Slide or Float in Round 1 do not need to register again — they are automatically considered in Round 2 based on their existing preferences
• If admitted to your top (first) choice in any round, you generally cannot participate in further rounds, as per CPET’s selection process rules

Next Steps After Round 2 Allotment

If Allotted a Seat

• Download the provisional seat allotment letter from the SAMS portal
• Report to the allotted institution within the reporting window for document verification
• Carry all original documents along with self-attested photocopies (see checklist below)
• Pay the admission fee online through the SAMS portal or at the allotted college, as instructed
• Choose your option — Freeze if satisfied, or Slide/Float if you wish to be considered for further rounds
• Complete admission formalities to secure your seat before PG classes commence on 21 August 2026

If Not Allotted a Seat

• You remain automatically in contention for the next round without needing to re-register
• Keep monitoring pg.samsodisha.gov.in for the Round 3 or spot round schedule, which typically follows for any remaining vacancies

Documents Required for Reporting & Verification

• CPET 2026 Admit Card / Hall Ticket
• CPET Scorecard / Rank Card
• Provisional Seat Allotment Letter (downloaded from SAMS)
• Graduation (UG) Degree Marksheet and Provisional/Final Certificate
• Class 10 & Class 12 Marksheets and Certificates
• Valid Photo ID Proof (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, Passport, etc.)
• Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD), if applicable, in the prescribed format
• Recent Passport-Size Photographs
• Proof of Admission Fee Payment

Reservation Policy — Important Points

• The reservation policy of the Government of Odisha is strictly followed while preparing the provisional seat allotment list
• PwD candidates who qualify on general merit (without any relaxed standard) are not counted against the reserved PwD quota — the reserved seats are filled separately from other eligible PwD candidates, using relaxed standards where needed
• The same principle applies to SC and ST category candidates who qualify on general merit
• For the 2026-27 session, career marks from Matriculation, +2, and +3 (including Distinction/Honours) do not carry separate weightage beyond the standard 30-mark component already factored into the combined merit formula
