WBJEE Pharmacy Counselling 2026: Round 1 Seat Allotment Result & Admission Process

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has released the WBJEE Pharmacy Counselling 2026 Round 1 Seat Allotment Result for admission to undergraduate Pharmacy courses for the 2026–27 academic session.

The counselling covers B.Pharm and Pharm.D programmes offered by participating government, government-aided, state-aided and self-financed institutions in West Bengal. The Round 1 allotment result was published on 11 August 2026 and is currently available through the official WBJEE portal.

Candidates who have received a seat should carefully check whether the allotment is their first choice or a second/later preference, because the admission and upgradation procedure differs significantly.

According to the official counselling schedule, the Round 1 seat acceptance, document verification and admission window runs from 11 August to 13 August 2026.

WBJEEB has announced three rounds of centralised Pharmacy counselling. Fresh eligible candidates may also register at the beginning of subsequent rounds according to the counselling rules.

Is WBJEE Pharmacy Round 1 Seat Allotment Result 2026 Out?

Yes.

WBJEEB currently lists “Round 1 Seat Allotment Result for WBJEE Pharmacy Counselling 2026” on the official WBJEE Candidates Activity Board.

Candidates must log in to the counselling portal to view their personal allotment status and download the official allotment letter. WBJEEB does not require candidates to depend only on an SMS or other notification to know their allotment status.

How to Check WBJEE Pharmacy Round 1 Seat Allotment Result 2026

Candidates can follow these steps:

Visit the official WBJEEB website. Open the WBJEE examination section. Look for “Round 1 Seat Allotment Result for WBJEE Pharmacy Counselling 2026.” Open the counselling login portal. Log in using the required candidate credentials. Check the allotted institution and Pharmacy course. Check whether the allotted seat is your 1st choice or 2nd/later choice. Pay the Seat Acceptance Fee if applicable. Download and print the official Seat Allotment Letter. Follow the reporting and document-verification instructions of your allotted institution.

The Board specifically states that candidates must log in to view the allotment status and download the allotment letter.

WBJEE Pharmacy Seat Acceptance Fee 2026

Candidates receiving a seat for the first time in any counselling round are required to pay a:

₹5,000 Seat Acceptance Fee

The fee must be paid through the prescribed online payment mode within the scheduled period. After payment, the candidate can download the allotment letter and proceed with physical document verification at the allotted institution.

Candidates should note that the ₹500 counselling registration fee and ₹5,000 Seat Acceptance Fee are different charges.

The counselling registration fee is a one-time, non-refundable ₹500 fee, while ₹5,000 is payable when a candidate receives a seat for the first time.

What to Do After WBJEE Pharmacy Round 1 Seat Allotment

Your next step depends on which preference you have received.

Case 1: You Got Your First Choice

If the allotted Pharmacy college/course was your first preference, you must:

Pay applicable Seat Acceptance Fee → Complete Document Verification → Take Admission

Candidates allotted their first choice must complete document verification and admission at the allotted institution within the stipulated period.

For Round 1, the scheduled period is:

11 August to 13 August 2026

WBJEEB clearly states that if a candidate allotted their first choice fails to complete verification and admission within the stipulated time, the candidate will be debarred from the entire counselling process and will not be eligible for any further round.

Therefore, candidates receiving their first preference should not wait for Round 2 hoping for another option.

Case 2: You Got Your 2nd or Later Choice

Suppose your preference list was:

College A College B College C College D

and you received College C.

You have received your third preference, meaning higher choices are still present above the allotted seat.

Such candidates can complete the Seat Acceptance Fee and document verification and select either:

YES Upgradation

or

NO Upgradation

according to their preference.

What is YES Upgradation?

Select YES Upgradation when:

You are willing to retain the current seat for now, but You would prefer one of the choices placed above your currently allotted option.

A candidate opting for YES Upgradation after Round 1 becomes automatically eligible for the next round with the existing choice list.

However, such a candidate cannot submit a fresh choice list in the immediately following round.

Example

Suppose your choices were:

Government College A Government College B Private College C ← Allotted Private College D

If you choose YES Upgradation, you can potentially be considered for College A or B in the next round according to merit and vacancy.

If no upgradation occurs, the previously accepted seat continues to be retained, provided all counselling requirements have been followed.

What Happens If Your Seat Gets Upgraded?

Candidates should understand one important rule before opting for upgradation.

If you receive a higher-preference seat in a subsequent round:

Your previous seat is automatically cancelled.

The earlier allotment is released for another eligible candidate.

The upgraded allotment is irreversible, meaning you cannot later demand your previous seat back.

Therefore, arrange your choice list carefully and opt for upgradation only when you genuinely prefer the choices placed above your current allotment.

What is NO Upgradation?

Choose NO Upgradation if you are satisfied with the currently allotted Pharmacy college/course and do not want to seek a higher preference.

After selecting NO Upgradation, the candidate must complete the admission procedure at the allotted institution.

If a candidate chooses NO Upgradation but does not complete the required admission procedure, WBJEEB states that the candidate can be debarred from the remaining counselling process.

What If You Did Not Get Any Seat in Round 1?

Candidates who did not receive any seat in Round 1 remain automatically eligible for the next round with their existing choice list.

Such candidates are also permitted to opt for fresh choice filling in the next round.

Therefore, receiving “No Seat Allotted” in Round 1 does not mean the counselling process is over.

The next important dates are:

Round 2 Registration & Choice Filling

14–16 August 2026

Round 2 Seat Allotment Result

18 August 2026

What If You Got a 2nd/Later Choice but Did Not Pay or Report?

The Pharmacy counselling rules contain an important provision for candidates allotted their second or later preference who remain non-responsive.

If such a candidate:

does not pay the Seat Acceptance Fee, or pays the fee but does not complete document verification,

the candidate may remain eligible for the next round with the existing choice list and may also opt for a fresh choice list in the next round, subject to the applicable counselling rules.

This provision is not the same for candidates allotted their first preference. A first-choice allottee who fails to complete admission can be debarred from the remaining counselling process.

Important Warning About Fresh Choice Filling

Candidates eligible to submit a fresh choice list in Round 2 or Round 3 should understand this rule carefully.

If an existing candidate opts for fresh choice filling, the candidate's previous:

choice list, and previous allotment, if any,

will be cancelled.

The candidate will then be considered based on the newly submitted choices for that round.

Therefore, do not choose the fresh-choice option casually if you already hold an acceptable allotment.

WBJEE Pharmacy Round 1 Reporting Date 2026

According to the official schedule:

Round 1 Reporting Period:

11 August to 13 August 2026

During this period, applicable candidates must complete:

Seat Acceptance Fee payment Downloading of allotment documents Reporting to the allotted institution Physical document verification Admission, if required YES/NO Upgradation selection, where applicable

WBJEEB specifically advises candidates to contact the allotted institute or visit the institute's website to know its exact reporting timings and detailed admission requirements.

Is Physical Document Verification Required?

Yes.

After payment of the Seat Acceptance Fee, candidates must report to the allotted institution during the notified period for physical verification of documents, wherever applicable.

Document verification is carried out by the allotted institution, not by WBJEEB centrally.

The Board states that the institution is responsible for checking the documents and determining whether the candidate meets the admission requirements.

WBJEE Pharmacy Counselling 2026 – Documents to Keep Ready

Candidates should first follow the exact document list supplied by their allotted institution.

WBJEEB's official documents rules require candidates to preserve and produce original/valid documents including, wherever applicable:

WBJEE 2026 Rank Card WBJEE 2026 Admit Card WBJEE Confirmation Page Pharmacy Seat Allotment Letter Counselling payment/seat-acceptance receipt Locked Choice Statement or other portal-generated counselling documents Domicile Certificate, where applicable SC/ST/OBC-A/OBC-B/EWS certificate, where applicable Updated OBC Non-Creamy Layer certificate, where applicable PwD documents, where applicable Income Certificate for TFW claim, where applicable Relevant academic certificates and mark sheets required by the allotted institution

WBJEEB's Information Bulletin requires original confirmation pages, admit cards, rank cards and applicable caste/category/domicile/income certificates during verification.

Candidates should also contact the allotted college because institutions may require additional admission documents, photographs, identity proof, photocopies or institution-specific forms.

Screenshots of Documents Are Not Valid

This is particularly important.

WBJEEB states that when counselling documents such as:

allotment letters locked-choice statements receipts participation confirmations admission letters physical reporting receipts

are required, candidates should submit the original portal-generated documents.

Screenshots, mobile-phone photographs or manually recreated versions of such documents are not accepted as valid substitutes.

Therefore, use the proper Print/Download facility available through the portal.

General Eligibility for B.Pharm Admission Through WBJEE 2026

The Pharmacy counselling notification specifies general academic requirements for Pharmacy admission.

Candidates generally must have passed or be appearing in the 10+2/equivalent examination in 2026 with:

Physics Chemistry Mathematics or Biology

as compulsory subjects with individual passing marks.

Candidates should generally obtain at least:

General Category

45% aggregate in the specified three subjects.

Reserved Categories

40% aggregate for applicable SC/ST/OBC/PwD candidates.

Candidates must also have passed English with at least 30% marks in the 10+2 examination.

Individual institutions or courses may have additional/special eligibility requirements, so candidates must confirm the requirements of the allotted institution.

PMR or GMR – Which Rank Is Used for Pharmacy?

This frequently causes confusion among candidates.

For WBJEE 2026:

Most Pharmacy Courses

Admission to Pharmacy courses, including Pharm.D where applicable, except Pharmacy at Jadavpur University, is based on the Pharmacy Merit Rank (PMR).

Jadavpur University Pharmacy

Admission to the Pharmacy course at Jadavpur University is based on the General Merit Rank (GMR).

The counselling notification also states that eligible rank holders must meet the applicable ranking, course and institution criteria to participate in Pharmacy counselling.

How is WBJEE Pharmacy Seat Allotment Decided?

A Pharmacy seat is not allotted on rank alone.

Round 1 allotment considers:

Applicable WBJEE/JEE merit rank Candidate's eligibility for the institution/course Reservation/category status Availability of seats Candidate's submitted and locked preference order

Therefore, candidates with similar ranks may receive different allotments depending on choice order, category, eligibility and seat availability.

WBJEE Pharmacy Counselling 2026 Full Schedule Counselling Activity Date Registration, Fee Payment & Choice Filling 7–9 August 2026 Choice Modification & Locking 7–9 August 2026 Round 1 Seat Allotment Result 11 August 2026 Round 1 Seat Acceptance/Reporting 11–13 August 2026 Round 2 Registration & Choice Filling 14–16 August 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment Result 18 August 2026 Round 2 Fee Payment/Reporting/Withdrawal 18–20 August 2026 Round 3 Registration & Choice Filling 21–23 August 2026 Round 3 Seat Allotment Result 24 August 2026 Round 3 Reporting & Admission 24–27 August 2026

WBJEEB notes that the counselling schedule may be altered under unavoidable circumstances, so candidates should continue checking official notices.

WBJEE Pharmacy Round 2 Counselling 2026

Round 2 registration and choice filling will take place from:

14 August to 16 August 2026

The Round 2 Seat Allotment Result is scheduled for:

18 August 2026

Fresh allottees will then have the 18–20 August 2026 window for Seat Acceptance Fee payment, document verification and admission. The official schedule also provides a withdrawal window during this period.

Who Can Submit Fresh Choices in Round 2?

According to the Pharmacy counselling notification, candidates eligible for fresh choice filling in Round 2 include:

Newly registered eligible candidates in Round 2 Candidates who received no seat in Round 1 Candidates allotted a second/later choice in Round 1 but remained non-responsive Candidates whose Round 1 seat was cancelled during document verification

Candidates already continuing through YES Upgradation with their existing choices cannot simultaneously submit fresh choices in the immediately following round.

WBJEE Pharmacy Round 3 Counselling 2026

Round 3 will be the final round of the centralised online Pharmacy counselling process.

Round 3 Registration & Choice Filling

21–23 August 2026

Round 3 Seat Allotment

24 August 2026

Reporting & Admission

24–27 August 2026

Since Round 3 is the final centralised round, no further upgradation is ordinarily permitted after a Round 3 allotment. Candidates receiving a seat must complete the required admission formalities within the scheduled period or risk forfeiting the allotted seat.

Withdrawal and Refund of Seat Acceptance Fee

The official schedule provides for withdrawal during the Round 2 admission period, scheduled for 18–20 August 2026.

WBJEEB's counselling notification states that when a candidate successfully withdraws during the specified withdrawal period, the applicable refund will be processed through online banking according to the Board's refund policy.

The notification states that the refund can take approximately 60–90 days after completion of all counselling rounds, and a candidate who successfully withdraws will cease to be eligible for future rounds.

Candidates should check the applicable refund notice and counselling portal before initiating withdrawal.

What Happens If Documents Are Found Invalid?

Seat allotment is provisional until eligibility and documents are verified.

If, during verification, it is found that a candidate:

does not meet the eligibility requirements, has submitted incorrect information, cannot establish a claimed category, cannot provide valid certificates, or has provided false or misleading information,

the current allotment and/or admission may be cancelled.

The candidate's status for subsequent counselling, if allowed, will be determined according to the corrected information and applicable rules.

Important OBC-NCL Rule

Candidates seeking an OBC reserved seat must satisfy the applicable West Bengal reservation requirements.

The 2026 Pharmacy counselling notification states that OBC candidates must belong to the Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) and must produce an updated NCL certificate during counselling/admission.

Candidates claiming SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD or other reserved benefits should therefore ensure that their certificates are valid on the date of verification.

Important TFW Rule

Candidates allotted seats under the Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) Scheme should keep the prescribed income certificate ready.

For TFW eligibility, the candidate must be domiciled in West Bengal and the annual family income from all sources must be below ₹2.50 lakh, according to the WBJEE 2026 Information Bulletin.

The waiver applies to the tuition fee only; other applicable charges still have to be paid.

What Should Round 1 Allotted Candidates Do Now?

Candidates who have received a Pharmacy seat in Round 1 should immediately:

Log in and check the exact allotted college/course. Confirm whether it is their 1st choice or 2nd/later choice. Pay the applicable ₹5,000 Seat Acceptance Fee. Download the official allotment letter. Contact the allotted institute immediately for reporting time. Arrange all original documents and required photocopies. Complete physical document verification. Choose YES/NO Upgradation where applicable. Complete admission if the first choice is allotted or NO Upgradation is selected. Keep all counselling receipts and admission documents safely.

The current official schedule gives Round 1 candidates only until 13 August 2026 to complete the applicable Round 1 reporting formalities.
