Odisha publishes CPET 2026 results on SAMS PG portal

Odisha’s Higher Education Department has declared the CPET 2026 result, opening access to the state-wise merit list and individual scorecards on the official SAMS PG portal at pg.samsodisha.gov.in.

The result was reported on July 2, 2026, and marks a major step in Odisha’s postgraduate admission process for the 2026-27 academic cycle.

What the result release means

CPET, or the Common PG Entrance Test, is the state entrance exam used for postgraduate admissions in Odisha. With the result now out, candidates can verify their rank, check their scorecard and prepare for the next stage of admissions.

The release is especially important because it moves the process toward the choice-filling and allotment phase that typically follows the publication of merit lists on the SAMS PG system.

Timeline and context

The 2026 CPET was held in May. A report in March said 58,708 candidates had applied and that the exam window ran from May 5 to May 18.

Odisha’s postgraduate admissions run through the SAMS PG system under the Higher Education Department, and the current result release fits the usual sequence of merit list publication followed by counselling-related steps.

What to watch next

The department has not been cited here as announcing a counselling schedule, so candidates should watch the portal for choice-filling dates, allotment updates and any additional instructions.

Portal traffic may be heavy immediately after the declaration, which could affect access to scorecards and the merit list.
