🟢 WBJEE Latest Updates — Counselling Schedule Live Tracking
✅ Counselling Status — STARTED JUNE 30; ROUND 1 ALLOTMENT JULY 7
WBJEEB officially confirmed WBJEE Counselling 2026 began June 30, 2026, with registration, fee payment, and choice filling all running through July 5, 2026. This follows a fast-moving cycle this year: the exam was held May 24, the provisional answer key was released May 27, objections closed May 29, the final answer key was published June 17, and the result with rank card followed on June 18 — a notably compressed timeline. Candidates must complete registration during this single window, since WBJEE Registration 2026 covers all subsequent counselling rounds and no fresh registration is permitted after the deadline. All WBJEE Counselling Schedule 2026 confirmations tracked here.
📋 WBJEE Choice Filling — Why 20+ Choices Genuinely Matters
WBJEEB explicitly recommends filling a minimum of 20 choices during WBJEE Choice Filling to meaningfully improve allotment chances — a well-researched preference list spanning safe, moderate, and ambitious options across multiple institutes significantly raises the probability of securing a seat. Candidates must arrange their choices in strict order of genuine preference, since the system allots the highest-ranked available option from the submitted list. Once choices are locked, WBJEE Choice Locking becomes final for that round — if a candidate fails to manually lock before the deadline, the system automatically locks whatever was last saved, so candidates should never leave this step incomplete. All WBJEE Choice Filling strategy guidance tracked here.
📊 WBJEE Seat Allotment 2026 — Accept, Reject, or Upgrade
Once WBJEE Round 1 Seat Allotment results are declared, candidates face a genuinely consequential three-way decision: Accept, Reject, or Upgrade. Choosing Accept or Upgrade requires paying the ₹5,000 seat acceptance fee — failure to pay results in automatic cancellation of the allotted seat. Importantly, candidates allotted their first-preference college and branch in Round 1 are not eligible for Upgradation in Round 2 — they can only Accept or Reject. For Round 2 (the Upgradation round), no fresh registration or new choice filling is permitted; existing choices are simply reconsidered for a better allotment.

📅 West Bengal Engineering Counselling — Quota Structure and JEE Main Eligibility
A key structural detail of West Bengal Engineering Counselling: West Bengal domicile candidates are eligible for both the 85% State Quota and the 15% All India Quota seats, while non-West Bengal domicile candidates can only compete for the 15% All India Quota. Separately, JEE Main 2026 rank holders can register for WBJEE Admission 2026 counselling without having appeared for WBJEE itself, but are eligible for allotment only within the 10% seats reserved specifically in self-financing institutes — not in government engineering colleges through the JEE Main route alone. Notably, there is no EWS reservation under WBJEE counselling specifically. All West Bengal Engineering Counselling quota and eligibility clarifications tracked here.

Documents Required for WBJEE Counselling 2026
Candidates should keep the following documents ready before registration, since these are required for document verification at the allotted institute:
- WBJEE 2026 Admit Card and Rank Card
- Class 10 admit card or birth certificate (for date of birth verification)
- Class 12 marksheet and passing certificate (with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics)
- NATA or JEE Main Paper 2 score (mandatory for B.Arch applicants specifically)
- Category certificate, if applying under a reserved category

📌 Expert Analysis
West Bengal admissions advisors tracking WBJEE Counselling 2026 note that this year's compressed timeline — final answer key, result, and counselling launch all occurring within a roughly two-week span — leaves genuinely less buffer time than in some previous cycles for candidates to research colleges before WBJEE Choice Filling opens. Candidates who haven't already researched previous-year cutoff trends should prioritise this immediately, given the tight registration-to-locking window.
The most useful immediate action: complete WBJEE Registration 2026 as early as possible within the window, research realistic college-branch combinations using prior-year opening and closing ranks for your specific category and quota, and fill a genuinely well-distributed list of 20+ choices rather than a short, overly ambitious one.

FAQs
Q1. When does WBJEE Counselling 2026 registration close?
WBJEE Counselling 2026 registration, fee payment, and choice filling run from June 30 to July 5, 2026, at wbjeeb.nic.in/wbjee. The WBJEE Round 1 Seat Allotment result is expected July 7, 2026.
Q2. How many choices should I fill during WBJEE Choice Filling?
WBJEEB recommends filling a minimum of 20 choices during WBJEE Choice Filling. A well-researched list spanning safe, moderate, and ambitious institute-course combinations significantly improves the probability of securing a favourable seat through WBJEE Seat Allotment 2026.
Q3. What happens if I don't pay the seat acceptance fee on time?
Failure to pay the ₹5,000 seat acceptance fee on time leads to automatic cancellation of the allotted seat. Candidates choosing Accept or Upgrade after WBJEE Round 1 Seat Allotment must complete this payment within the specified deadline to confirm their admission.
Q4. Can JEE Main candidates register for WBJEE Admission 2026 without appearing for WBJEE?
Yes, JEE Main 2026 rank holders can register for WBJEE Admission 2026 counselling separately. However, they are eligible for allotment only within the 10% seats reserved specifically in self-financing institutes, not in government engineering colleges through the JEE Main route alone.
Q5. Can I edit my choices after WBJEE Choice Locking?
No, once WBJEE Choice Locking is completed, choices cannot be edited for that round. If a candidate does not manually lock before the deadline, the system automatically locks whatever choices were last saved — candidates should always complete this step deliberately rather than leaving it to the automatic default.
