Candidates who participated in the counselling can now check their seat allocation status on the official WBJEE website using their roll number and password. This marks the first step in securing admission to engineering colleges across West Bengal for the academic year 2026.
How WBJEE Round 1 Seat Allotment Works
The seat allotment for WBJEE Round 1 is determined by a combination of factors. Primarily, the board considers the candidates’ ranks based on their WBJEE exam performance. Alongside this, the choices filled by candidates during the counselling registration play a crucial role. Lastly, the availability of seats in various participating institutes influences the final allotment. This process ensures that seats are allocated fairly, balancing merit and preferences.
Once candidates receive their seat allotment, they must act promptly to confirm their admission. The board has set a deadline for completing the admission process, including payment of the seat acceptance fee, to retain the allotted seat.
