Odisha LLB admission deadline 2026: the August 20 second/final-round fee-payment and institutional-reporting deadlines have passed. The live SAMS Odisha 3-Year LLB admission process now moves to the waiting-list admission round.
The official Higher Education Department timetable schedules publication of the waitlisted-applicant list on August 24 at 2:00 PM, followed by physical reporting of interested waitlisted applicants on August 28–29, publication of the merit list on August 31 at 2:00 PM, and final waitlist admission activity on September 1–2.
Odisha LLB admission deadline 2026: what should candidates watch now?
The next scheduled milestone is August 24 at 2 PM. SAMS is scheduled to publish the list of waitlisted applicants for remaining upper-choice Higher Education Institutions based on the actual vacancies available after the second/final round.
Being included in the waitlisted-applicant list does not itself complete admission. Interested candidates must follow the later reporting, merit-list and admission stages.
Aug 24 · 2 PM
Waitlist publication
The list of waitlisted applicants for remaining upper-choice HEIs is scheduled to appear in the HEI e-Space and student login according to actual vacancies as on August 20.
Aug 28–29
Physical reporting
Interested waitlisted applicants are scheduled to report to the relevant HEI from August 28 at 11 AM until August 29 at 4 PM with the CAF and relevant documents.
Sep 1–2
Final waitlist admission
Document validation, final admission, collection of admission fees and HEI e-Space admission updating are scheduled from September 1 at 10 AM until September 2 at 5 PM.
The earlier 2 PM fee-payment, 4 PM reporting and 9 PM institution e-Space milestones belonged to the second/final round and have now passed. Candidates should not treat those times as current admission windows.
What happened to the August 20 Odisha LLB deadlines?
The second/final provisional allotment was scheduled for August 17 at 2 PM. Selected candidates then had until August 20 at 2 PM for the applicable online admission-fee payment and until August 20 at 4 PM to report at the allotted institution.
Participating institutions had until August 20 at 9 PM to update admitted-student information in SAMS e-Space. Those stages have now closed under the published timetable.
The official schedule also lists commencement of first-year classes from August 21, 2026.
When will the Odisha 3-Year LLB waitlist be published?
The Government of Odisha timetable schedules publication of the waitlisted-applicant list for August 24, 2026 at 2:00 PM.
The list is based on the actual vacancies remaining as on August 20 and relates to applicants’ remaining upper-choice Higher Education Institutions.
Candidates should check their SAMS student login and the relevant institution information rather than assuming that every applicant from the earlier rounds will appear in the waiting-list stage.
Waiting-list timeline
- August 24 at 2 PM: publication of waitlisted applicants based on remaining vacancies.
- August 28 at 11 AM to August 29 at 4 PM: physical reporting of interested waitlisted applicants.
- August 31 at 2 PM: publication of the merit list among candidates who reported.
- September 1 at 10 AM to September 2 at 5 PM: document validation, final admission, fee collection and admission updating.
Who needs to report on August 28–29?
The timetable describes this stage for interested waitlisted applicants who are participating in the waiting-list admission round.
They are scheduled to report physically at their respective Higher Education Institutions for submission of the CAF and relevant documents.
The official timetable also states that the interested applicant should appear in person, although a representative carrying valid ID proof may also be permitted to report on the applicant’s behalf.
A candidate appearing in the waitlisted-applicant list still has to follow the applicable reporting and subsequent merit/admission process.
What happens after physical reporting?
After the August 28–29 reporting stage, participating institutions are scheduled to prepare a merit list from among the waitlisted applicants who actually reported.
The merit list is scheduled for publication on the institution notice board or website on August 31 at 2 PM, with selected applicants also communicated through the institution’s available communication channels.
When does final waitlist admission happen?
The final waiting-list admission stage is scheduled from September 1 at 10 AM through September 2 at 5 PM.
This stage includes:
- validation of documents;
- final admission;
- collection of admission fees directly by the HEI through the permitted payment methods; and
- admission updating in the institution’s SAMS e-Space.
What should candidates do before August 24?
- Keep access to the SAMS student account ready.
- Preserve the CAF, earlier allotment information and admission records.
- Check the SAMS 3-Year LLB Key Dates page for any revision before acting.
- Check the student login after the scheduled August 24 publication time.
- If listed for a remaining upper-choice HEI and interested in participating, prepare the relevant documents for the August 28–29 reporting stage.
- Do not assume that an earlier admission automatically removes or guarantees eligibility for every upper-choice waiting-list opportunity; use the status shown in the official SAMS workflow.
Can TPS confirm whether a particular candidate is waitlisted?
No. Public schedules establish the process and dates, but they do not reveal the candidate-specific result that will appear in an individual SAMS student account.
TPS cannot determine from the public timetable whether a particular candidate:
- has been included in the August 24 waiting list;
- has a vacancy available at a particular upper-choice institution;
- successfully completed an earlier admission step;
- will rank high enough after physical reporting;
- has completed document validation; or
- has received final admission.

Limitations and unresolved facts
The public schedule cannot establish an individual candidate’s waitlist position, vacancy availability, reporting status, merit position, document-validation result or final admission status.
The timetable itself states that changes will be published through the SAMS Odisha system. Candidates should therefore recheck the live official schedule and student account before each upcoming stage.
