Your Pathway to Engineering: WBJEE 2025 Counselling Registration Now Open!

The journey to securing your dream engineering or technology seat in West Bengal officially begins now! The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations (WBJEE) Board has announced the commencement of the registration process for WBJEE Counselling 2025, inviting all eligible candidates to participate.

This marks a crucial step for thousands of students aspiring to join various undergraduate courses in engineering, technology, architecture, and pharmacy across the state's prestigious institutions.

Important Dates to Mark Your Calendar

For those eager to secure their spot, understanding the timeline is paramount.

While the registration window has just opened, candidates are strongly advised to complete the process well in advance to avoid last-minute rushes. One of the most critical dates for applicants is September 3, when the results for the Round 1 seat allotment will be officially published.

This date is eagerly anticipated, as it will determine the initial allocation of seats based on merit ranks and preferences submitted by the candidates.

The Counselling Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

The WBJEE Counselling process is designed to be systematic and transparent. Here’s a general overview of what candidates can expect:

1. Online Registration: The first step involves registering on the official WBJEE counselling portal.

   This typically requires entering personal details, academic qualifications, and WBJEE exam roll number and rank.

2. Payment of Counselling Fee: A non-refundable counselling fee must be paid online to complete the registration process.
3. Choice Filling and Locking: This is perhaps the most critical stage.

   Candidates must carefully select their preferred courses and colleges in order of priority. It is highly recommended to research institutions and programs thoroughly before filling choices. Once satisfied, candidates must lock their choices within the stipulated deadline. Failure to lock choices may result in the system auto-locking the last saved choices.

4. Seat Allotment (Round 1): Based on the choices filled, WBJEE rank, and seat availability, candidates will be allotted seats.

   The results will be declared on September 3.

5. Provisional Seat Allotment & Document Verification: Candidates who are allotted a seat in Round 1 must log in to view their results. They will then need to pay a provisional admission fee and report to the designated reporting centers for document verification within a specified period.

   This step is mandatory to confirm the allotted seat.

6. Acceptance, Upgradation, or Withdrawal: After document verification, candidates usually have options to either accept the allotted seat, opt for upgradation (to participate in subsequent rounds for a better seat), or withdraw from the counselling process.

Documents Required

Candidates are advised to keep the following documents ready, as they will be required during registration and subsequent verification processes:

• WBJEE 2025 Admit Card
• WBJEE 2025 Rank Card
• Class 10th Admit Card/Birth Certificate (for age proof)
• Class 10th Mark Sheet
• Class 12th Mark Sheet
• Domicile Certificate (if applicable)
• Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC-A/OBC-B, if applicable)
• PwD Certificate (if applicable)
• Income Certificate (for TFW seats, if applicable)

What Next?

After the Round 1 seat allotment, further rounds of counselling will follow for candidates who opted for upgradation or those who did not receive a seat in the first round.

It is essential for all participants to regularly check the official WBJEE Board website for the latest notifications, detailed schedules, and guidelines. Missing a deadline can lead to exclusion from the counselling process.

This counselling period is a pivotal moment for thousands of students.

Approach it with careful planning, thorough research, and attention to detail to ensure a smooth transition into your desired academic program.
