JU Admissions 2025: The university has decided not to admit students to BTech due to delay in conduct of Joint Entrance Lateral Entry Test (JELET), by the WBJEE board.
According to a senior official, Jadavpur University has decided not to admit engineering diploma students directly to the BTech 2nd year courses due to a delay in the conduct of the Joint Entrance Lateral Entry Test (JELET) by WBJEE board.
West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) conducts JELET for admission to the 2nd year (3rd semester) of the 4-year bachelor’s programme in engineering, technology, and pharmacy courses.
JU admits students who have a qualified BSc, a diploma in engineering and the JELET exam , which was not held in the scheduled month of October. However, there is no word so far from the Education Department regarding it.
"As JELET has been inordinately delayed this year and classes for the four-year BTech course have already started following admission to first year, this time we cannot admit diploma students qualifying JELET," the JU official said.
"We cannot delay the second-year BTech exams for students who were admitted to the first year through the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) scheduled next week," the official added.
The official also said that the start of first-year classes has already been delayed because of the deadlock over the OBC quota, and if second-year admissions are postponed indefinitely as well, it could disrupt the entire academic schedule.
The WBJEE results were released in August—three months after the exam—because of delays concerning OBC reservation. WBJEE 2025 is held fro admission to engineering, pharmacy, architecture, and technical courses offered in West Bengal engineering colleges. With inputs from PTI
