SAMS Odisha Merit List: 2nd Selection Results 2026

The SAMS Odisha +1 2nd Selection Merit List for the 2026‑27 academic session was released on July 23, 2026 by the Department of School and Mass Education, Odisha. This merit list announces the candidates who have secured seats in Class 11 after the first round of allotment or who are eligible for an upgraded seat based on their preferences.

Short Information

The second selection merit list covers admissions for Arts, Science, Commerce, Vocational and Upashastri streams in Class 11. Candidates whose names appear on the list must report to their allotted higher secondary school between July 24 and July 28, 2026. During the reporting window, students need to submit the intimation letter, original documents, and any applicable fees. Those who do not secure a seat in this round may still have a chance through a future spot admission round, subject to vacancy.
