Odisha CPET 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment (SAMS Portal)

The Higher Education Department, Government of Odisha, has released the Round 2 seat allotment result for CPET (Common PG Entrance Test) 2026 on 17 August 2026, on the official Students Academic Management System (SAMS) portal, pg.samsodisha.gov.in. This second round is aimed at candidates who either did not receive a seat in Round 1, or chose to Float/Slide after the Round 1 allotment declared on 7 August 2026, hoping for a better institution or subject preference. With PG classes for the 2026-27 academic session scheduled to commence on 21 August 2026, allotted candidates now have a narrow but critical window to complete admission formalities.

This article covers exactly how to check your Round 2 allotment result on the SAMS portal, and the complete physical reporting guidelines for allotted colleges during the 18–20 August 2026 window.

If You Chose Float or Slide in Round 1

Candidates who selected Float (open to a better option at a different institution) or Slide (open to a better subject within the same institution) after Round 1 do not need to register again — their preferences automatically carry forward into Round 2. If you’re upgraded to a better allotment in Round 2, your earlier Round 1 seat is automatically released back into the pool for other candidates.

If You Did Not Receive a Round 1 Allotment

Candidates who missed out on a seat in Round 1 are also automatically considered in Round 2, based on their original merit rank and locked choices, without needing a fresh application.

Understanding Your Options After Round 2 Allotment

Once your Round 2 result is out, you must complete your admission process within the specified deadline:

• Freeze: Confirms your satisfaction with the allotted institution and subject, completes the online fee payment, and finalizes your seat for physical reporting.
• Note on Float & Slide: Since Round 2 is the final regular allotment round, Float and Slide options are disabled/unavailable after this round.”

Whichever option you choose, you must complete the online admission fee payment within the given deadline to retain your allotted seat — failing to do so can lead to automatic cancellation.

Physical Reporting Guidelines for Allotted Colleges (18-20 August Window)

Physical reporting is a mandatory step for confirming your admission, even after successful online fee payment. Here’s what to expect and prepare for during the 18–20 August 2026 window:

Step-by-Step Reporting Process

1. Report to your allotted institution within the 18–20 August window, carrying both original documents and self-attested photocopies.
2. Submit documents for verification at the college’s designated admission cell or help desk.
3. Collect your admission confirmation slip/receipt once verification is successfully completed.
4. Complete any balance fee payment, if the institution’s total fee structure isn’t fully covered by the amount paid online.

Documents to Carry for Physical Reporting

• CPET 2026 Seat Allotment Letter (downloaded from SAMS)
• CPET admit card and scorecard/rank card
• Class 10 and Class 12 marksheet and certificate
• UG degree marksheet(s) and provisional/original degree certificate
• Migration certificate from your previous university, if applicable
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD), issued by a competent authority, if applicable
• Valid government-issued photo ID proof (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, etc.)
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Online fee payment receipt/transaction confirmation

Important Reporting Reminders

• Reporting is mandatory even after online fee payment — simply paying the fee online does not complete your admission; physical verification at the college is a separate, required step.
• Missing the reporting window typically results in cancellation of your allotted seat, since institutions need to finalize their admitted student list before classes begin on 21 August 2026.
• Since this window is tight and overlaps with the start of the academic session, candidates are strongly advised to plan travel and document collection well in advance rather than waiting until the last day.
• Keep a digital backup (scanned copies) of every document on your phone or email as a safety measure in case of last-minute discrepancies.

What Happens After Round 2?

After the completion of Round 2 admissions, any remaining vacant seats across PG institutions will be filled through the Waitlisted / Spot Admission Process. The list of vacant seats and waitlisted candidates will be published on 25 August 2026 on the SAMS Odisha Portal.
