1.0 Introduction
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB), established in 1962 by the
Government of West Bengal, was exclusively authorized under the West Bengal Act XIV of 2014
to conduct Common Entrance Examinations for selecting candidates for admission to
undergraduate and postgraduate Professional, Vocational, and General Degree courses in the
state, as well as to manage the online counselling process or otherwise adopting a single-
window approach. WBJEEB has been instrumental in the admission process based on online
application and allotment through e-Counselling since then. It advocates fairness and
transparency, ensures no error, and adopts state-of-the-art technology in all its activities.

2.0 West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination-2026 (WBJEE-2026)
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) is a prestigious state-level entrance
test conducted annually by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB).
The Board will conduct a one-time OMR-based Common Entrance Examination (WBJEE-2026)
for admission to Undergraduate courses in Engineering, Technology, Pharmacy, and
Architecture for the 2026-27 academic session in various universities and institutes across
West Bengal.
The examination is tentatively scheduled during April to May, preferably on a Sunday. Since
long time, it remains a robust offline (OMR-based) examination consisting of two papers.

II. Syllabus Overview & Content
In general, the WBJEE syllabus is closely aligned with the Class 11 and 12 curricula of the
recognised Indian Boards/Council of Higher Secondary Education. It emphasises conceptual
clarity and numerical application.

Subject Weightage & Core Topics
Questions
Mathematics 75 Questions Calculus, Algebra, Coordinate Geometry, Vectors,
(100 Marks) 3D Geometry, Probability, etc. Mathematics has
consistently been the most challenging section,
requiring strong problem-solving skills and strict
time management.
Physics 40 Questions Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electrostatics,
(50 Marks) Magnetic Effects of Current, Optics, and Modern
Physics, etc. Questions range from moderate to
difficult, with a heavy focus on numerical problems
and conceptual clarity.

WBJEEB 8

2.5 Syllabus of Examination: The subject-wise Syllabus for the WBJEE-2026 is given in
Appendix 8.
2.6 Mode of answering in the examination
• Questions are to be answered on a specially designed optical machine-readable response
(OMR) sheet, which will be evaluated by the Optical Mark Recognition method. Thus, it is
very important to follow the correct marking procedure.
• Candidates will indicate their response to the questions by darkening the appropriate
circle/bubble entirely with a blue/black ink ballpoint pen. The pen will be provided by
the WBJEEB.
• Any other kind of marking, e.g., filling the circle/bubble incompletely, filling with pencil,
cross mark, tick mark, dot mark, circular mark, overwriting, scratching, erasing, white
ink(prohibited), marking outside the circle/bubble, etc., may lead to
wrong/partial/ambiguous reading of the response. WBJEEB will not be responsible for
such an eventuality, and this may result in the cancellation of the OMR sheet.
• Response marking cannot be edited/changed/erased/modified.

2.7 Scoring Methodology
Type Details of Scoring
Category-1 a) Only one option is correct.
b) The correct response will yield 1 (one) mark for each question.
c) The incorrect response will yield -¼ (25% negative) marks for each
question.
d) For any combination of more than one option, even if it contains the
correct option, the said answer will be treated as incorrect and will
yield -¼ (25% negative) marks.
e) Not attempting the question will fetch zero marks.
Category-2 a) Only one option is correct.
b) The correct response will yield 2(two) marks for each question.
c) The incorrect response will yield -1/2 (25% negative) marks for each
question.
d) For any combination of more than one option, even if it contains the
correct option, the said answer will be treated as incorrect and will
yield -1/2 (25% negative) marks.
e) Not attempting the question will fetch zero marks.
Category-3 a) One or more option(s) is/are correct.
b) Marking all correct option(s) only will yield 2 (two) marks.
c) For any combination of answers containing one or more incorrect
options, the said answer will be treated as wrong, yielding a zero mark
even if one or more of the chosen options(s) is/are correct.
d) For partially correct answers, i.e., when all right options are not
marked and also no incorrect options are marked, marks awarded = 2
× (no of correct options marked) / total no of correct options.
e) Not attempting the question will fetch zero marks.

WBJEEB 9

2.8 Ranking Methodology and Merit Lists

WBJEEB will prepare merit ranks based on the candidates’ scores in the Common Entrance
Test. Individual candidates will be able to view and download their rank cards, which will
contain their score and rank. WBJEEB does not publish any rank/score list for public
release to ensure the confidentiality of individual candidates.
Based on the papers (subjects) that appeared and the corresponding marks scored, two
separate Merit Ranks shall be generated in the following method:

A. General Merit Rank (GMR):
a) A sequence of General Merit Ranks (GMR) will be prepared based on the total scores
obtained in Paper I and Paper II, taken together.
b) Ranking shall be done in descending order of total marks scored in all the subjects. In the
event of a tie, the tie-breaking rules in 2.9.1 shall apply.
c) Separate reserved category merit positions will also be indicated for the respective category
of students, e.g., SC Rank, ST Rank, OBC-A Rank, OBC-B Rank, EWS Rank, PwD Rank, TFW
Rank, etc., as applicable.
d) Admission to all Engineering / Technology / Architecture Courses and the Pharmacy Course
at Jadavpur University will be based only on GMR.
e) Sequencing orders for counselling/allotment of seats/admission will be based only on GMR
(not category ranks). Category ranks will appear only in the rank card to indicate the
category-wise position of the respective candidate.

B. Pharmacy Merit Rank (PMR):
a) A sequence of Pharmacy Merit Rank (PMR) will be prepared based on the score in paper II
only, i.e., Physics and Chemistry.
b) Ranking shall be done in descending order of marks scored in Paper II. In the event of a tie,
the tie-breaking rules in 2.9.2 shall apply.
c) Separate reserved category merit positions will also be indicated for respective categories
of students, e.g., SC Rank, ST Rank, OBC-A Rank, OBC-B Rank, EWS Rank, PwD Rank, TFW
Rank, etc., as applicable.
d) Admission to all Pharmacy Courses (including Pharm. D. Course) except in Jadavpur
University shall be made based on PMR.
e) Sequencing orders for counselling/allotment of seats/admission will be based only on PMR
(not on category ranks). Category ranks will appear only in the rank card to indicate the
category-wise position of the respective candidate.

C. Category ranks:
The category information provided by candidates during the online application is verified by
the allotted institute during counselling. Candidates must ensure their documents are valid on
the verification date. If a candidate's claim is invalid, their category rank will be cancelled, and
they will be considered under the general category. The ranks of other candidates' categories
will remain unchanged.

2.9.3 Final Tie-breaking rule for GMR and PMR
After application of the Tie-breaking Rules, as applicable, if there are still ties, they will be
broken by the candidates' date of birth (DOB), with the older candidate having preference over
the younger. If the tie remains, it will be decided by application number in ascending order, i.e.,
the candidate who applied earlier will be given preference.
