Alright, folks, the moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here! The SAMS Odisha +3 Second Selection Merit List 2025 is dropping today at 7:00 PM, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably refreshing the SAMS portal every five seconds. 😅
Whether you missed the first round, opted for Slide/Float, or just want to see if you’ve upgraded to a better college—this guide has got you covered. I’ll walk you through how to check the list, what to do next, and some pro tips to avoid last-minute chaos. Let’s dive in!
🔹 When and Where to Check the SAMS Odisha +3 Second Merit List
First things first—mark your calendar!
✅ Release Date & Time: June 22, 2025, at 7:00 PM
✅ Official Website: samsodisha.gov.in
Pro Tip: The website might crash due to heavy traffic (because, let’s be real, everyone’s going to be checking at the same time). If that happens, don’t panic—just wait a few minutes and try again.
🔹 Who’s Included in the Second Merit List?
Not everyone makes it to the second round, so here’s who should keep an eye out:
✔ Candidates who didn’t get a seat in the first round
✔ Those who chose the “Slide” option (hoping for a better college in the same stream)
✔ Those who picked “Float” (wanting a different stream or college)
The list is based on:
- Your +2 marks
- Reservation category (SC/ST/SEBC/PwD)
- Your preference order in the Common Application Form (CAF)
- Seat availability (because, sadly, not everyone can get their dream college)
🔹 How to Check Your Second Merit List Status
Alright, let’s get practical. Here’s a step-by-step guide to checking your allotment:
1️⃣ Go to samsodisha.gov.in
2️⃣ Click on “Degree (+3)” under the Higher Education section
3️⃣ Find the link for “Download 2nd Round Seat Allotment”
4️⃣ Log in using your registered mobile number & password
5️⃣ Enter the captcha (because robots aren’t allowed here)
6️⃣ View your allotment status or download the PDF
FYI: If you’re selected, act fast—you’ve got limited time to confirm your seat!
🔹 What to Do After Checking the Merit List?
So, you’ve been allotted a seat—now what?
You’ve got three options:
1️⃣ Freeze (If You’re Happy with the Allotment)
- Pay the admission fee online by June 25, 2025
- Report to the allotted college in person between June 23–25 (10 AM–5 PM)
- Carry all required documents (mark sheets, ID proof, etc.)
2️⃣ Slide (If You Want a Better College in the Same Stream)
- You’ll be considered for an upgrade in the next round
- No need to pay fees now—wait for the next allotment
3️⃣ Float (If You Want a Different Stream or College)
- You’ll be considered for other streams/colleges in future rounds
- Again, don’t pay fees yet if you’re hoping for an upgrade
⚠️ Warning: If you don’t take any action, your seat will be cancelled automatically. So, don’t ghost the portal—make a decision!

🔹 Final Thoughts & Pro Tips
- Keep your login details handy (mobile number, password, barcode). Losing them now would be… not ideal.
- Double-check your documents before heading to the college. Trust me, running back home for a forgotten mark sheet is not fun.
- Stay calm! Even if you didn’t get your first choice, there might still be future rounds.
