Odisha SAMS +2 Merit List 2026 Released

The Student Academic Management System (SAMS) Odisha has officially released the first merit list for +2 admissions for the 2026 academic year. Students can now access their allocation status and download the required documents through the official website at samsodisha.gov.in. Simultaneously, the state has declared results for the Common Post Graduate Entrance Test (CPET), confirming the availability of over 32,000 postgraduate seats across various state-run institutions.

The release of these merit lists marks a significant milestone in the annual academic calendar for Odisha, centralizing the admission process for thousands of students. The implementation of the SAMS portal aims to streamline seat allocations, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the enrollment process for both higher secondary and postgraduate levels. This system manages complex data points including seat intake capacity, student preferences, and merit-based selection criteria to facilitate a fair distribution of resources across the state's educational landscape.

Successful candidates listed in the first round must now proceed with document verification and fee payment to secure their seats within the stipulated timeline. Educational authorities have advised students to monitor the SAMS portal closely for updates regarding subsequent merit lists or potential spot admission rounds. This year's admission process remains a critical indicator of student interest in specialized postgraduate subjects and aligns with broader state efforts to expand access to high-quality higher education across Odisha.
