Questions related to WBJEE

Have a question related to WBJEE ?

Just whatever you have done Re-revise it and give mock tests if assume mock tests are of 300 marks as JEE mains then give mock tests no matter how much syllabus you have completed. If you have not yet studied anything then first check the weightage of JEE Chapters and then watch manzil series for those chapters on JEE WALLAH channel. Then give mock tests and then lets assume in the first test you scored just 80/300, now you want atleast 200+ to be on a safer side and to book you seat in tier 2 colleges like NIT, DTU, NSUT then just give mock tests again and again at least give 100+ mock tests because mock tests are the best thing to do if you want to revise aim for increasing your marks in every mock test as we discussed earlier assume you scored 80/300 then try scorin 82 or 83 in the next mock test this will also increase your score and boost your confidence.

Well at this moment IIT is a bit difficult but yes for sure you can still crack it you surely get into top tier 2 govt. colleges!!!


BEST OF LUCK FOR THE FUTURE!!

Hello,

With a rank of 38,422 for WBJEE Pharmacy and 9,225 for TFW, achieving government pharmacy college is not too simple; however, you are likely to have good prospects in the private or semi-government colleges within West Bengal in the name of TFW.

  • Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology
  • JIS University
  • Bengal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research

For JEE Main rank 168,908, admission to top tier NITs and IIITs will be tough but you may seek state level engineering colleges or lower tiers NITs through home state quota.
