WBJEEB conducts counselling rounds where seats are allotted based on rank, category, and the choices filled by candidates. Each college and branch combination has an opening rank (the best rank that secured a seat there) and a closing rank (the lowest rank that still secured a seat there) for every round.
Several factors influence these numbers each year, including the total number of applicants, changes in seat intake, branch-wise popularity, and category-wise reservations. Candidates should expect some variation in 2026 figures, particularly for high-demand branches like CSE and Artificial Intelligence. A total of 103 engineering colleges in West Bengal accept admission through WBJEE. Of these, 79 are private institutions, and 24 are government colleges.

A single college’s data is not sufficient to establish a reliable trend for AI cutoffs across the state, and more colleges are expected to add AI seats for 2026.
Factors That Can Influence WBJEE Rank vs College Outcomes in 2026
Several factors can affect how this 2025 data translates to 2026 outcomes. Category (SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, EWS, PwD all carry separate, more relaxed cutoffs), domicile status, the number of counselling rounds a candidate stays enrolled in, and how early choices are locked all play a role. Closing ranks typically shift across rounds, usually loosening as seats vacate through later rounds.
