On Question asked by student community
Hey! With a WBJEE GMR of 33652 and being in the OBC-B category, getting a core branch like CSE/ECE in top government colleges is very tough. But still, you have chances in some government engineering colleges in the later rounds (especially 3rd or mop-up).
You can try for colleges like:
Government College of Engineering and Leather Technology (non-core branches)
Government College of Ceramic Technology
Some seats in Kalyani Government Engineering College (in lower demand branches)
Regional Engineering Colleges or other state-aided universities (but mostly in non-core departments).
My suggestion: Keep patience till the last rounds because sometimes seats do open up for OBC-B. Also, keep backup options in private colleges or through management quota if you want a specific branch.
With a WBJEE 2025 rank of 28,393, it may be difficult to get admission in ECE at top government colleges, but you have chances in private colleges in West Bengal. Colleges like HITK, Techno India, RCCIIT, UEM, IEM (lower branches/management quota) might be possible depending on cut-offs and seat availability in later rounds. You should keep multiple options open and also check for spot counseling.
No, you can’t use a previous year’s JEE rank for the current year’s WBJEE counselling. Only the JEE Main rank of the same admission year is valid along with that year’s WBJEE rank.
With a GMR 41869 and OBC-B rank 3689, admission to Architecture at Jadavpur University is quite difficult. JU cutoffs for B.Arch are usually very high, often closing within a few thousand ranks overall, and most seats go to top rankers. As for fees, JU is a government university, so it’s very affordable—around 2,500–5,000 per year, much cheaper than private colleges. You may get Architecture in some private or state colleges, but chances at JU with your rank are very low.
Hello Aspirant,
Securing a seat in a government engineering college in West Bengal with a GMR of 23375 is challenging. However, with your SC rank of 2117 , you have a strong chance. Based on previous years' cutoffs, this rank can get you into government colleges like Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College or Kalyani Government Engineering College , especially in branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering. You should participate in all counselling rounds.
