What Is the WBCAP 2026 Upgraded Round?
After a merit list is published, a candidate has two options: confirm the allotted seat by paying the admission fee, or opt to upgrade the seat. Upgradation allows a candidate to remain in contention for a higher-preference college or course in the same round, based on availability and merit rank, without losing the currently allotted seat.

- Upload the required documents on the college website as instructed.
- Check the college's published schedule for physical verification of documents.
