Download WBJEE Previous Year Paper (2012)

Hi aspirant,

If you’re eligible to claim West Bengal domicile, then you should always choose ‘AT’, which is the code for WB domicile candidates. This gives you access to home state quota seats, which come with more reservation benefits and better chances of getting a government seat or a lower fee structure. AZ is for students outside West Bengal, where competition is higher and seats are fewer. Being a dropper doesn't affect your domicile claim what matters is whether you or your parents have lived in West Bengal for at least 10 years, or if you studied in the state for a qualifying period. If you meet the condition, definitely choose AT it gives you a big advantage in WBJEE counselling.

Thank you!

Here is the last year’s WBJEE cutoff for OBC-A category in major government engineering colleges under the Home State quota:

– Kalyani Government Engineering College
CSE closed around rank 5200 to 7000
ECE and EE closed around 8000 to 11000

– Government College of Engineering & Ceramic Technology, Kolkata
CSE closed around 17000
IT closed around 22000
Ceramic branch closed around 43000

– Government College of Engineering & Textile Technology, Serampore
CSE closed around 17800
Electrical and Textile branches went up to 47000 or more

– Government College of Engineering & Leather Technology, Kolkata
IT closed around 23000
Leather Technology closed beyond 50000

Cutoffs vary each year depending on number of applicants, difficulty level, and seat availability. For top branches like CSE, you’ll usually need a rank below 20000 in OBC-A category. Lower-demand branches may go up to 50000 or more.

Sorry, but as a PCB student, you are not eligible for WBJEE. You need to  PCM for WBJEE

Absolutely, your son still has options. Even with a 54 percentile in JEE Mains and not appearing for WBJEE, he can still get admission into a B.Tech CSE program, especially through private universities or colleges that offer direct admission or accept JEE scores with no specific cutoff.

Since his 12th board marks are strong at 91%, many private engineering colleges across India — and especially in West Bengal, Odisha, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and even some deemed universities — offer admissions based on board merit or low JEE scores. Some of these colleges conduct their own counselling or may have institutional quota seats for students who haven’t cleared WBJEE or scored high in JEE.

For example, colleges like UEM Kolkata, Brainware University, Seacom, Sister Nivedita University, and some AICTE-approved private colleges in West Bengal may admit him through management or general counselling with his 12th marks and JEE percentile. If you're open to colleges in other states, options expand further — institutes like Reva University, Ajeenkya DY Patil, Lovely Professional University, and many others allow direct B.Tech admission.

No, you cannot get admission into IIT Kharagpur (IIT KGP) through the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE).

IITs, including IIT KGP, accept admissions solely based on scores obtained in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced.

The WBJEE is a separate exam for admission into state-level engineering colleges in West Bengal, not IITs.

GOOD luck!!

Hello

Counselling is the process through which students are offered admission to colleges  based on their entrance exam rank, preferences, and seat availability

After ending exam the official staff committee check the omr sheet with digital highly optical omr scanner, the cheking was tacking place digitally.

The WBJEE 2025 results have not been released yet, but they are expected any day now, likely in early July 2025, based on current reports

Results will be Offically live on https://wbjeeb.nic.in

Here are WBJEE Counselling Process

1. Register at https://wbjeeb.nic.in

2. Fill & lock choices of colleges and branches (e.g., CSE, ECE, ME).

3. Seat Allotment based on your WBJEE/JEE rank, category, and preferences.

4. Accept seat → pay 5,000–40,000 (depends on category) to confirm.

5. Report to allotted institute physically or online.

What is Counseling for Engineering Admission in West Bengal?

• Counseling is like the process where you pick your college and course based on your rank in the WBJEE exam.

• After the exam results, you get to choose the colleges and courses you want, and depending on your rank, a seat is allocated to you.

How are WBJEE Results Released?

1. After the Exam : Once you finish the WBJEE exam, your answers are evaluated.

2. Result Declaration :

   • Score Card : The results are published online, where you'll see your rank and scores for each subject (Physics, Chemistry, and Math).

3. Rank List :

   • A merit list will be released based on your overall performance, including your category rank if applicable.

4. Counseling :

   • Register : You need to sign up for counseling by entering your details.

   • Choose Preferences : You then select your preferred colleges and courses.

   • Seat Allotment : Based on your rank and choices, you'll be given a college.

   • Document Verification : You'll need to provide documents like your rank card and ID proof for verification.

   • Pay the Fee : Finally, to confirm your seat, you make the payment.

This whole process ensures that you get a fair chance to choose the best college and course based on your performance.

Based on the previous year's WBJEE cutoff ranks for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch at Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (JGEC), scoring 65 marks might make it challenging but not entirely impossible to secure a seat.

Looking at the 2024 cutoff data, the closing ranks for the General category (Home State) in the three rounds of counselling for CSE were quite low, ranging from 1747 to 2157 . These ranks typically correspond to significantly higher marks than 65 in the WBJEE.

However, the actual rank you secure with 65 marks in WBJEE 2025 will be crucial. The marks vs. rank correlation can vary each year depending on the overall performance of the candidates and the difficulty level of the exam. Generally, a score of 60-79 in WBJEE tends to correspond to a rank somewhere in the range of 15,750 to 16,250 based on some estimations.

Given this estimated rank range, admission to the CSE branch at JGEC, which typically closes within the top few thousand ranks for the general category, appears difficult.

Therefore, while getting a CSE seat at JGEC with 65 marks in the general category seems difficult based on past trends, your category and performance relative to others will be the deciding factors. You should aim to score as high as possible in WBJEE 2025 and then check the official cutoff ranks released by WBJEEB after the results. Keep an eye on the counselling process and participate in all relevant rounds.

Hello Sudip,

A score of 105–110 in WBJEE is good, but to acquire IT at Jadavpur University depends on different factors like:

• Your General Rank
• Your Category (General, SC, ST, OBC, TFW, etc.)
• The year’s cutoffs, which are different

In the last few years, General category candidates generally needed a rank below 500–700 for IT at JU.  You might get a rank between the 800–1200 mark (approx.) with a score of 105–110, which may render CSE or IT hard in the General category but achievable in reserved categories or under TFW quota. Thus, it is not a sure shot, but you have a fair chance depending on your category and cutoff patterns.

Hii There,

According to the expected marks vs. rank study, if you receive 110 or 105 points, you will probably fall between 10,001 and 15,000 in the rank range based on the WBJEE 2024 statistics.  The cutoff ranks for admission to Jadavpur University's Information Technology (IT) department are highly difficult.  The IT closing rank for the open category in 2024 was around 295.  This implies that in order to get admitted to the IT program, applicants had to place in the top 300.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks
