WBJEE 2026 Choice Filling Rules

An important point for candidates participating in the WBJEE 2026 decentralised counselling is that choices will not be considered in an order of preference.

Candidates can select colleges and courses during choice filling, but the submitted choices will be treated as an unordered set. Therefore, candidates will not be able to rank their choices according to preference during this decentralised process.

Candidates should therefore review the available colleges and courses carefully before submitting their choices.

The WBJEE 2026 decentralised seat allotment will be conducted in phases. The first phase seat allotment is scheduled for September 6, 2026.

Candidates who receive seats will have to complete the prescribed seat acceptance fee payment and college reporting process between September 6 and September 9. The second phase of decentralised counselling will begin with fresh registration from September 10.

The allotment of seats will depend on candidate eligibility, available vacant seats and the applicable admission priority.

WBJEE 2026 Decentralised Counselling for Vacant Seats

The primary purpose of the WBJEE decentralised counselling 2026 is to fill seats that remain vacant after the regular counselling process.

Participating institutes will provide details of their vacant seats, and eligible candidates will be able to participate through the common online counselling platform. The WBJEE 2026 vacant seat matrix is scheduled to be released on August 31.

Candidates should check the vacant seat matrix before making their choices because the availability of seats can vary across colleges, branches and categories.
