On Question asked by student community
Hello,
A non-local student does not get full fee reimbursement through MHT-CET or WBJEE. Full fee reimbursement is usually given only to students who belong to the home state and satisfy the state-specific eligibility rules. In MHT-CET, only Maharashtra domicile candidates under valid categories are eligible for government fee reimbursement. In WBJEE, only West Bengal domicile students can get the state benefits and fee waivers. If you are a non-local candidate in either state, you can still take admission, but you will not receive full fee reimbursement from the state government.
Hi dear candidate,
WBJEE, NIPER, JEE and GATE all are entrance exams for higher studies.
WBJEE is engineering entrance exam for West Bengal colleges.
NIPER is a PG program for admission in pharmacy masters or PhD programs.
JEE is all over India entrance exam for engineering.
GATE is all over India exam for masters in engineering admissions at IITs, NITs and IIITs.

Hello dear candidate,
You cannot get admission later through WBJEE counselling for that year if you missed the decentralized counselling as it is the official last chance to get admission through WBJEE.
Only chance left is by management quota but the fees are very high.
The Mop Round for WBJEE B.Tech counselling in 2025 would be held in late 2025, after the main counselling and allotment rounds have concluded. You can also refer to the official website of WBJEE for further information or detailed information.
Hello,
With a rank of 10536 in WBJEE 2025, you would have a chance in the government engineering colleges, but you have to choose less popular branches where the competition is less or not crowded. Still, your chances of admission depend on factors like specific colleges, cutoffs, the demand of this college, and the location of this college.
I hope it will clear your query!!
