Overview of WBJEE 2026 Counselling

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) manages the centralised admission process for undergraduate engineering and technology courses via the WBJEE 2026 counselling portal.

The entire procedure is conducted online at the official website, wbjeeb.nic.in.

Tentative WBJEE 2026 Counselling Timeline

Eligibility for WBJEE Counselling 2026

Participation is restricted to candidates meeting the following criteria:

• Candidates who have secured a rank in the WBJEE 2026 exam.
• Candidates holding a valid scorecard from JEE Main 2026.
• Those qualifying in both examinations may register using credentials from either or both, provided they meet the domicile requirements specified in the official information bulletin.

Registration and Choice Filling Process

The registration process involves a non-refundable fee of INR 500 for all categories. Follow these steps for a successful application:

1. Access the official portal at wbjeeb.nic.in.
2. Select the 'New Candidate Registration' link and choose the relevant exam (WBJEE, JEE Main, or both).
3. Input credentials including application number, roll number, and date of birth.
4. Complete the fee payment via the available digital payment gateways.
5. Upon successful registration, proceed to fill in college and branch preferences.

Important: Choice filling is the primary mechanism for seat allocation. Candidates must arrange their preferred choices in order of priority. Ensure choices are locked within the stipulated timeframe, as unlocked entries will not be considered for seat allotment rounds.

Required Documentation for Verification

Selected candidates must report to their allotted institute with the following original documents and self-attested photocopies:

• Class 10 Admit Card/Birth Certificate (Age verification)
• Class 10 & 12 Mark Sheets
• WBJEE 2026 Rank Card
• Domicile Certificate (if applicable)
• Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC-A/OBC-B/PwD)
• Income Certificate (For TFW category applicants)

Common Application Errors to Avoid

• Reporting Delays: Failure to report to the allotted institute within the specified dates leads to automatic seat cancellation.
• Incomplete Choice Filling: Limiting options reduces the probability of securing a preferred seat; ensure a wide range of choices are selected.
• Verification Oversight: Always carry both original documents and photocopies to avoid being turned away during the physical verification process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I participate in counselling using both WBJEE and JEE Main scores?

Yes, candidates can register using credentials for both exams to maximize their seat allotment prospects.

What happens if I do not lock my choices?

If choices are not locked before the deadline, the system will not consider them for the seat allotment round, effectively disqualifying the candidate for that phase.
