West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) is the state authority responsible for conducting common entrance examinations and centralized admission processes for professional, vocational and general degree courses in West Bengal. Its major examinations include WBJEE for undergraduate engineering, technology, architecture and pharmacy admissions, JELET for lateral-entry engineering, technology and pharmacy admissions, and JECA for MCA admissions. WBJEEB also conducts or administers online counselling, seat allotment, rank-card services and admission-related processes for applicable programmes.

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board was established in 1962 by the Government of West Bengal. In 2014, the Government enacted the West Bengal Act XIV of 2014 to establish the present statutory Board and empower it to conduct common entrance examinations and online counselling for a wider range of professional, vocational and general degree courses.

WBJEEB operates as a statutory state-level examination and admission authority. Its functions cover examination administration, candidate services, result and rank processing, online counselling and centralized seat allotment. The Board works with participating universities, government colleges and self-financing institutions for programme-specific admissions.
