The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) is a state-level entrance test conducted by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board. It is held annually for admission to undergraduate courses in engineering, technology, pharmacy, and architecture in various institutions across West Bengal. The exam typically takes place in April and is divided into two papers: Paper 1 for Mathematics and Paper 2 for Physics and Chemistry. Candidates are ranked based on their performance in both papers, and the results determine eligibility for counselling and seat allotment.
The test follows a multiple-choice format, and negative marking is applicable for incorrect answers. WBJEE is open to Indian nationals who meet the specific educational and age criteria set by the board. Preparation usually involves a strong understanding of the Class 11 and 12 syllabi. It is a crucial pathway for students aspiring to pursue technical education in West Bengal’s top colleges and universities.
