WBJEE Question Papers (2012-2013)

Hello,

With an OBC-B rank of 4845, you may be able to get into colleges like

• Alipurduar Government Engineering and Management
• Ramkrishna Mahato Government Engineering College
• Jalpaiguri Engineering College (for certain branches)

You can choose these colleges also; check the official website to choose other choices.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hey Risita! With a WBJEE rank of 7802 in the OBC-B category, your chances of securing a seat in the Agriculture department are quite limited, especially in government colleges. For instance, in 2024, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV) had a closing rank of 12,048 for B.Tech Agricultural Engineering under the OBC-B category  . This indicates that your rank is slightly above the typical closing ranks for this course.

However, don't be discouraged. Here are a few options you might consider:

1. Private Agriculture Colleges: Some private institutions may have higher closing ranks, increasing your chances of admission.

2. Other States' Colleges: Explore agricultural colleges in other states where the competition might be less intense.

3. Reattempt WBJEE: If you're determined to pursue agriculture in a government college, consider preparing for the next WBJEE exam to improve your rank.

With a GMR of ~72,979 in WBJEE 2025 as a non-domicile student, your chances in top-tier government engineering colleges (like Jadavpur University, IEM, UEM, or Heritage) are unfortunately very low, as their cutoffs usually close below 15k–25k. At your rank, you’ll mostly find opportunities in private/self-financed colleges under WBJEE in the last few rounds.

You may get branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, or sometimes ECE in mid/low-tier private colleges, but CSE/IT/AI/DS in reputed institutes is not possible at this rank. If you’re flexible, you can still secure a seat in colleges such as Brainware, Narula, JIS, Camellia, Swami Vivekananda, etc.

With WBJEE 2025 General Rank 42,903 and OBC-B Rank 3,703, your chances in top-tier government colleges (like Jadavpur University, IEM, Heritage, Techno Main Salt Lake) are very slim, as their closing ranks are usually below 10k–15k in general and much lower in OBC-B. However, you still have chances in:

• Mid-tier government colleges (some newer ones or with less demand branches like Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgy).

• Private colleges under WBJEE counseling (Narula, BP Poddar, Future Institute, etc.) where you may get CSE/IT or better branches with your OBC-B rank.

If you want CSE/IT/ECE, it’s safer to look at private colleges. For government options, you may get core branches (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical) in less competitive GECs.

With a WBJEE General Rank of ~50,000 and OBC-B Rank ~5,000, getting Heritage Institute of Technology (HITK), Kolkata is very tough. Heritage usually closes its OBC-B ranks within 1,000–2,000 for popular branches (CSE, IT, ECE). Even for lower-demand branches like Civil, Electrical, or Chemical, OBC-B cutoff is usually below 3,500–4,000. At 5,000 OBC-B rank, your chances at Heritage are very low, but you may get other good private colleges under WBJEE counseling.

With a GMR of 38,729 and TFW rank of 9,249 in WBJEE 2025, you have a fair chance of getting a TFW seat in mid-tier colleges like Techno Main Salt Lake, University of Calcutta, or similar institutes for branches such as CSE, IT, or ECE, since their previous TFW cutoffs were within this range however, top colleges like Jadavpur University won’t be possible as their TFW cutoffs stay below 3,000.

With a GMR of 33,760 in WBJEE 2025, getting into top government colleges like Jadavpur University or Kalyani Government Engineering College is unlikely, as their cutoffs close much earlier. However, you still have a chance in some lower-tier government engineering colleges in districts (like Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College, Cooch Behar Government Engineering College, or Kalyani Government Engineering & Technology) but mostly in core branches (ME, EE, Civil, etc.), not CSE/IT.

With a GMR of 57,330 and an OBC A rank of 3,657 in WBJEE, your chances in top government colleges are limited, but you can still get options in a few mid-tier government engineering colleges and several private colleges. Branches like Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Production, and some core branches are more likely than CSE, IT, or ECE, as those have higher cutoffs. You can expect chances in private institutes such as Narula Institute of Technology, BP Poddar Institute of Management and Technology, Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, Camellia Institute of Technology, and some colleges under Techno India group. In government colleges, lower demand branches in newer or regional colleges may open up in later rounds depending on vacancy.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, the student is admissible for WBJEE. The eligibility rule is that a candidate must have studied Physics and Maths along with Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Computer Science as compulsory subjects in the Higher Secondary (10+2) examination, and had an aggregate of 60% (45% for reserved category) in Physics, Mathematics and the third subject combined. The student took PCMB, with more than 80% scored in each subject, so the eligibility criteria are met in full.

For Jadavpur University (Engineering through WBJEE), the same rule applies: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics here, but again with 80%+ marks in all it is eligible.

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!
