WBJEE 2026 Counselling: Registration and Choice Filling
Candidates aiming for a seat through WBJEE counselling can begin the process by registering on the official portal, paying the registration fee, and filling in their institute and course preferences. This first window is open from June 30 to July 5, 2026.
Importantly, the board has also allowed candidates to modify and lock their choices within the same period, giving aspirants flexibility to reorder or update preferences before the deadline closes.
First Round of Seat Allotment on July 7
The result of the first round of seat allotment will be declared on July 7, 2026. Candidates who receive an allotment in this round, and either do not opt for upgradation or are allotted their first choice, must complete two steps between July 7 and July 11, 2026:
- Pay the seat acceptance fee
- Report to the allotted institute for document verification and admission
The board has advised candidates to check directly with their allotted institute regarding specific reporting timings and document requirements, as these may vary from one institution to another.
