Engineering Entrance Exam

WBJEE counselling is an online process. Candidates have to register, pay counselling fee and fill courses and colleges, in order of preference. WBJEE seat allotment will be announced online. Allotment will be done according to their rank and preferences.

For state level BTech colleges in West Bengal, some seats are reserved for JEE Main qualified candidates. However, most seats are filled through WBJEE. However, private colleges will accept admissions without WBJEE.

After allotment in WBJEE counselling, candidates will have to submit their 10th and 12th marksheet, 10th admit card, domicile certificate and more for verification at their allotted institutes.

WBJEEB is expected to conduct two rounds of WBJEE counselling. If candidates are not satisfied with their allotment, they can opt to choose upgradation in second counselling round.

For admissions into top colleges under WBJEE, such as Jadavpur University, a good WBJEE rank is usually under 1000 or 2000. Students are advised to rank under 10,000 for higher admission chances into top government colleges.

After WBJEE result, counselling process will start. Qualified candidates have to register for counselling to be eligible for seat allotment.

Candidates must be very careful in filling JEE Advanced application form as the correction facility is not provided post the last date of registration. It is thus advised that candidates verify all the details they fill in the form at least once and make the corrections before the last date to apply. 

If the PwD certificate is valid and issued by the competent authority, it will be considered for availing the reservation. However, it is advsied to get the UDID card before admission process.

Securing 25 marks in GATE is just reaching the qualifying cutoff. For SC/ST or PwD applicants, 25 marks can be average and safe for securing good GFTIs. However, targeting core branches can be impossible.

In addition, 25 marks in Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering can give different results, based on the paper you have applied for. 

For example, 25 marks in GATE CSE or ECE can fetch you a lower rank. While 25 marks in GATE AG or CY might give you good options during counselling (due to low competition).

Candidates with benchmark disabilities are eligible to avail scribe facility. For this, they have to first mark their PwBD status/category in application form. Candidates can bring their own scribe or can take the facility from the organizing institute.
