West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination
WBJEE is the common entrance test that the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board holds every year for admission to undergraduate engineering/technology, pharmacy and architecture courses in universities and institutes across West Bengal. It is an OMR-based pen-and-paper test of two papers on one day, Paper I (Mathematics) and Paper II (Physics & Chemistry); WBJEE-2026 was held on 24 May 2026. Both papers together give a General Merit Rank for engineering and architecture, while Paper II alone gives a Pharmacy Merit Rank, and seats are then allotted through online counselling.
