WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 Put on Hold

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has announced the postponement of the WBJEE 2026 Decentralised Counselling process. According to the previously announced timetable, the registration and application process for decentralised counselling was scheduled to begin today.

However, the counselling process has now been deferred due to a revision in the eligibility conditions. Candidates who are eligible and interested in participating in the decentralised counselling process will have to wait for the updated schedule, which will be announced by the Board shortly.

Students are advised to regularly check the official WBJEEB website for the latest announcements regarding registration dates, choice filling, seat allotment and other important counselling activities.

Eligibility Criteria Revised for Decentralised Counselling

The postponement comes after WBJEEB made an important modification to the eligibility conditions for participation in the decentralised counselling process.

According to the official notification, the authorities have decided to allow candidates who have already secured admission through the Centralised Online Counselling process of WBJEE 2026 to also participate in the Common Online Decentralised Counselling process.

As a result of this important change, the decentralised counselling notification and schedule issued earlier have been modified. A fresh and revised notification containing the updated decentralised counselling schedule will be published on the official website soon.

Candidates who wish to take part in the counselling process should continue to visit wbjeeb.nic.in regularly to remain updated about the revised registration schedule and other counselling-related announcements.

WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 Notification

Candidates can check the official notification related to the postponement and revised eligibility provisions through the notification released by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board.

The decentralised counselling process is being organised primarily to fill vacant seats remaining after the completion of the earlier counselling rounds.

Two Rounds of Decentralised Counselling Planned

According to the notification issued earlier, two rounds of WBJEE 2026 Decentralised Counselling are expected to be conducted for the available vacant seats.

Candidates participating in the counselling process will be required to complete a fresh registration. Even those students who had previously registered for earlier rounds of WBJEE counselling will have to register again for the decentralised counselling process.

Applicants will also be required to submit their preferred choices of institutes and courses in the order of their preference for the seat allotment process.

Candidates must carefully fill in and arrange their choices, as the allotment of seats will be carried out based on factors including eligibility, merit, availability of seats and the preferences submitted by candidates.

Applicants will also be required to make the prescribed online payment of the counselling or application fee while completing the online application process.

Who Can Apply for WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026?

The detailed revised schedule for WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 will be made available online shortly.

Candidates who have qualified either the WBJEE examination or JEE Main examination and fulfil the required eligibility conditions, including the prescribed minimum marks in the qualifying Class 12 examination, will be eligible to apply for the decentralised counselling process.

Under the revised eligibility provisions, candidates who have already obtained admission to an institute through the Centralised Online Counselling process of WBJEE 2026 will also be permitted to participate in the Common Online Decentralised Counselling process.

This revised provision is expected to provide additional opportunities to eligible students seeking admission to available vacant seats.

Candidates are advised to keep checking the official WBJEEB portal for the final eligibility requirements, registration instructions and the complete revised counselling schedule.
