WBJEE 2027 Eligibility Criteria

The final eligibility criteria will be confirmed through the WBJEE 2027 Information Bulletin.

Based on the latest available official rules, the general eligibility requirements are explained below.

Nationality

The applicant should be:

• A citizen of India; or
• An Overseas Citizen of India, subject to the rules prescribed by the competent authorities

OCI candidates may be considered only for eligible unreserved seats under the applicable quota.

Educational Qualification

The candidate must have passed or be appearing in the Class 12 or equivalent examination from a recognized board or council.

Course-specific subjects and minimum marks must also be satisfied.

Minimum Age

Candidates are generally required to be at least 17 years old as of 31 December of the admission year.

If the same rule is continued, WBJEE 2027 candidates should be at least 17 years old as of 31 December 2027.

Upper Age Limit

There is generally no upper age limit for appearing in WBJEE.

However, admission to the degree-level Marine Engineering course has an upper age limit. The exact 2027 cut-off date and age requirements must be checked from the official bulletin.

Engineering and Technology Eligibility

For admission to Engineering or Technology courses, candidates must satisfy the subject combination prescribed for the selected course.

The latest rules generally require candidates to:

• Pass Class 12 or an equivalent examination
• Study the required combination of Physics, Mathematics and other permitted subjects
• Pass the required theory and practical or project examinations separately, wherever applicable
• Obtain at least 45% aggregate marks in the prescribed subjects
• Obtain at least 40% aggregate marks if eligible under SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B or PwD categories
• Pass English in Class 12 with at least 30% marks

The permitted third subject may include Chemistry, Computer Science, Electronics, Information Technology, Biology, Biotechnology, Informatics Practices, Technical Vocational subjects or other subjects permitted by the regulatory authority.

Some universities and courses have additional eligibility requirements. Candidates must check the institute-specific criteria before choice filling.

Pharmacy Eligibility

For admission to B.Pharm or other eligible Pharmacy courses, candidates generally must:

• Pass Class 12 or an equivalent examination
• Pass Physics and Chemistry
• Pass Mathematics or Biology
• Pass the required theory and practical or project examinations separately
• Obtain at least 45% aggregate marks in the required three subjects
• Obtain at least 40% aggregate marks for eligible reserved-category candidates
• Pass English with at least 30% marks

Candidates appearing only in Physics and Chemistry Paper-II may be eligible for Pharmacy Merit Rank, or PMR.

However, admission to the Pharmacy course at Jadavpur University is based on General Merit Rank, or GMR, and therefore requires candidates to appear in both WBJEE papers.

Architecture Eligibility

Candidates seeking admission to the five-year B.Arch course generally must:

• Pass Class 12 or an equivalent examination
• Satisfy the subject and minimum-mark requirements prescribed by the Council of Architecture
• Pass Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, wherever required under the applicable rules
• Obtain the prescribed aggregate marks
• Qualify NATA or another architecture aptitude examination accepted by the competent authority

A WBJEE rank alone is not sufficient for B.Arch admission. Candidates must also fulfil the applicable architecture aptitude-test requirement.

Is West Bengal Domicile Compulsory?

West Bengal domicile is not necessarily required merely to appear in WBJEE.

However, domicile is required for admission to several types of seats, including:

• Seats in government-aided Engineering, Technology and Pharmacy colleges
• Certain seats at Jadavpur University
• Reserved-category seats
• Tuition Fee Waiver, or TFW, seats
• Other institutions or courses specified by the Government or WBJEEB

Under the latest rules, a candidate is generally treated as a West Bengal domicile if:

• The candidate has continuously resided in West Bengal for the prescribed period; or
