WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026: Vacant Seats & Process

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has announced the decentralised counselling round for WBJEE 2026, offering qualified candidates a fresh opportunity to secure admission against seats that remain unfilled after the centralised counselling rounds. This round is conducted directly by the participating engineering institutions in West Bengal.

What Is Decentralised Counselling in WBJEE?

Decentralised counselling is a college-level admission process initiated after the centralised rounds conducted by WBJEEB fail to fill all available seats. In this phase, individual colleges are authorised to invite applications and fill vacant seats on their own, following guidelines set by the Board. Candidates who have a valid WBJEE 2026 rank but could not secure a seat during the centralised process are eligible to participate.

Eligibility Criteria

• Candidates must hold a valid WBJEE 2026 rank card issued by WBJEEB.
• Applicants should meet the academic qualification requirements as specified in the official WBJEE 2026 notification — typically passing 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry/Biology/Computer Science.
• Candidates must satisfy the domicile and category norms as applicable under West Bengal government rules.
• Those who have already been allotted and confirmed a seat through centralised rounds may not be eligible; aspirants should verify this condition with the respective institution.
