About WBJEE 2026
WBJEE stands for West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination. It is a state-level exam held every year. Students who pass this exam can get admission into Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) courses. These courses are offered in various government and self-financing (private) engineering colleges across West Bengal.
It is important to know that some private engineering colleges also accept JEE Main scores. They reserve about 10% of their seats for students who have appeared for the JEE Main exam. This provides an additional option for students seeking admission to these institutes.
