WBJEE 2026 Exam Date Clashes with IMUCET
Following the announcement of the exam date, several students have raised concerns regarding a schedule clash with the IMUCET 2026 examination. Both WBJEE and IMUCET 2026 are scheduled on 24 May 2026, which has created confusion among candidates planning to appear for both tests.
Since both examinations are conducted on the same day in a single session, candidates will not have the option to choose alternative slots. This situation may require students to select only one examination.
On various online forums and student platforms, candidates have requested authorities to reconsider or reschedule the WBJEE exam date, as many had already registered for IMUCET earlier.
WBJEE 2026 Registration Process to Begin Soon
The application process for WBJEE 2026 will begin on 10 March 2026 through the official website. Candidates will be required to fill the online form, upload the necessary documents, and pay the application fee to complete registration.
Applicants must ensure that they submit the application form before the deadline of 05 April 2026 to become eligible for the entrance examination. The WBJEE entrance test serves as an important gateway for admission to undergraduate engineering, architecture, and technology courses offered by participating colleges in West Bengal.
