How to Register for WBJEE 2026 Counselling
- Visit the official WBJEEB website at wbjeeb.nic.in.
- Click on the WBJEE 2026 counselling registration link.
- Log in using your WBJEE 2026 application number and password.
- Fill in the required personal and academic details.
- Pay the non-refundable registration fee of Rs 500 online.
- Fill your choices of colleges and courses (including B.Pharm options) in order of preference. WBJEEB has advised candidates to fill at least 20 college-course combinations to improve the chance of seat allotment.
- Review, lock your choices before the deadline, and download the confirmation page for your records.
WBJEE 2026 Counselling Process (Round-wise)
- Round 1 - Allotment Round: Registration, choice filling, and locking, followed by the first seat allotment result.
- Round 2 - Upgradation Round: Candidates already allotted a seat can seek an upgrade; unallotted candidates get another opportunity to fill choices.
- Round 3 - Mop-Up Round: Conducted for seats that remain vacant after Round 2; fresh registration is accepted for eligible candidates who have not yet secured a seat.
A single registration generally covers all rounds of counselling, so candidates who register once are not required to repeat registration unless they exit the process voluntarily or skip a round entirely.
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Counselling registration, choice filling, allotment, and fee payment are conducted entirely online; no offline registration or allotment is done by WBJEEB.
- Fill a wide range of college-course choices rather than restricting the list, as this improves the likelihood of a favourable seat allotment.
- Pay the seat acceptance fee only after a seat has been allotted in any round, and complete reporting/document verification within the specified window.
- Keep checking wbjeeb.nic.in regularly, as counselling dates can be revised by the board.
