With an OJEE rank of 116 in the SEBC category, you have a strong chance of getting an MCA seat at VSSUT.

Definitely, you should wait until Round 3 because later counselling rounds may have lower cutoff for different categories.

Yes, with an OJEE general rank of 2204, you have a good chance of securing a B.Pharm seat at Utkal University, though it is not 100% guaranteed. Government pharmacy seats in Odisha typically close within a general rank range of 4500 to 5500, putting your rank safely inside the competitive threshold.
