Candidates can choose upto three OJEE test cities according to their preference. Candidates must very carefully select the cities as once the OJEE application form is submitted, they can't change city preference. They should choose the first city of preference as their hometome or where they are residing as the exam authorities will likely allot the test centres to candidates in their first city of preference. Candidates are allotted a test centre in second or third preference only if the seats have been filled or the exam centre has been cancelled at that location. Candidates should know that the OJEE test cities cannot be changed once the form is submitted even during the form correction window.
