Mode of answering in the examination: In the examination conducted by WBJEEB, candidates are required to answer questions on a specially designed Optical Machine-Readable Response (OMR) sheet, which is evaluated using the Optical Mark Recognition method. Therefore, it is crucial for candidates to follow the correct method of marking their responses. The answers must be indicated by completely darkening the appropriate circle or bubble using a blue or black ink ballpoint pen. Any other form of marking—such as incomplete shading, use of pencil, cross or tick marks, dots, circular marks, overwriting, scratching, erasing, use of white ink, or marking outside the designated area—may result in the response being read incorrectly or not being read at all. Such discrepancies may lead to wrong, partial, or ambiguous evaluation of the answer, for which WBJEEB will not hold any responsibility. Additionally, once a response is marked, it cannot be edited, changed, erased, or modified under any circumstances.
Ranking Methodology and Merit Lists: WBJEEB will prepare merit ranks based on the candidates’ score in the Common Entrance Test. Individual candidates will be able to view and download his/her Rank Card, which will contain score and rank. WBJEEB does not publish any rank/score list for public to ensure confidentiality to each individual candidate.
Note: The Admission Process is written as per the ordinance of the official Counselling Agency.
