WBJEE Application Form 2026: Registration, Fee, Dates and How to Apply

WBJEE 2026 registration opened on March 10 and closed on April 8, 2026, after a short extension from the original April 5 deadline. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board ran WBJEE entirely online at wbjeeb.nic.in, while the exam itself stayed offline as an OMR-based paper, a combination that surprises candidates used to fully online entrance tests. This page covers the six-tier fee structure, the two-paper exam day, the documents needed, and the correction window that followed.

WBJEE 2026 Application Highlights

WBJEE 2026's key facts sit in the table below. Each row gets its own section further down.

WBJEE Registration Dates and Correction Window 2026

WBJEE's registration ran for about four weeks, with a short extension adding three extra days past the originally announced April 5 cutoff. A correction window followed immediately.

Registration for this cycle is now closed. Results have been declared, and counselling registration is underway.

WBJEE 2026 Application Fee by Category and Gender

WBJEE 2026 has the most granular fee structure of any state entrance exam covered on this page, splitting by category, gender, and third gender into six distinct tiers.

Payment was accepted online through net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI. No offline payment mode was available. Once paid, the fee was not refunded. The fee had to be paid before the extended deadline of April 8, 2026; an unpaid registration was not treated as a completed application.

How to Fill WBJEE Application Form 2026 Online

WBJEE's registration followed a four-step online process at wbjeeb.nic.in. Keep a valid email address and mobile number ready before starting, since WBJEEB sends the application number and password to both immediately after the first step.

• Go to wbjeeb.nic.in and click on new candidate registration under WBJEE 2026 on the homepage.
• Enter your name, date of birth, mobile number, and email address to generate an application number and password.
• Log in with the application number and password.
• Fill in personal details, academic qualifications, category, and contact information.
• Select three preferred exam cities from the available list.
• Upload your photograph and signature in the format and size shown on the portal.
• Pay the application fee online.
• Download and print the confirmation page after successful payment.

Documents Required for WBJEE 2026 Registration

WBJEE 2026 kept its document list shorter than most national exams, asking for only the photograph and signature during the form itself, with everything else verified later at counselling.

Unlike NEET and JEE Main, WBJEE did not require a live photo capture, finger impressions, or an APAAR ID at the application stage. Category and domicile certificates are checked only during counselling and document verification, not during registration.

WBJEE Application Form Correction Facility 2026

WBJEE's correction window ran from April 7 to 12, 2026, overlapping slightly with the extended registration deadline. No additional fee was charged for using it.

Log in with the same application number and password, open the submitted form, and update whichever fields need fixing. Photograph and signature could be re-uploaded, and personal and academic details could be edited. Since the correction window opened on April 7, a candidate who registered on April 8 (the final extended date) still had a few days of overlap to use it, unlike some other exams where the correction closes before the registration extension ends.

WBJEE 2026 Exam Format and Two-Paper Structure

WBJEE 2026 ran as an offline, OMR-based exam with two papers on the same day, a format that has stayed consistent across recent cycles.

Both papers were compulsory. Each had multiple-choice questions across three categories with different marking schemes: Category 1 questions carried 1 mark with a quarter-mark negative, Category 2 carried 2 marks with a half-mark negative, and Category 3 also carried 2 marks with a half-mark negative but could have one or more correct options. The total score across both papers was 200 marks.

WBJEE English Marks Requirement in Class 12

WBJEE has an eligibility condition that no other engineering entrance exam in this set shares: a minimum of 30% marks in English in the Class 12 board examination.

This requirement applies regardless of which board (CBSE, ISC, state board, or equivalent) the candidate passed from. It is checked at the counselling and document-verification stage, not during the application itself, so a candidate can register and sit the exam without immediate verification. However, failing to meet it means the candidate will not be eligible for seat allotment even with a qualifying WBJEE rank. Candidates appearing for Class 12 should confirm their English marks meet this threshold before registering, since discovering the shortfall only at counselling wastes both the application fee and the preparation effort.

Common WBJEE 2026 Registration Mistakes

WBJEE 2026's registration was simpler than many national exams, but the six-tier fee and the offline exam format still led to a set of avoidable errors.

• Selecting the wrong category or gender tier while paying the fee, since the fee amount depends on both and underpayment delays the application.
• Listing fewer than three exam cities when the form allows three, reducing the chance of a nearby centre allotment.
• Assuming WBJEE is a computer-based test like JEE Main, when it is actually an offline OMR-based exam requiring a pen and physical attendance at the centre.
• Not checking whether the English marks in Class 12 meet the 30% minimum before registering, a condition that only surfaces at counselling but cannot be fixed after the exam.
• Submitting the form without paying the fee before April 8, which means the application is not considered complete regardless of how accurately the rest of the form was filled.

WBJEE 2026's exam and result phases are over, and counselling is now the active stage. Candidates planning for the next cycle can use the fee, document, and process details above as a reference, while checking wbjeeb.nic.in for the fresh notification when WBJEEB releases it.
