WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026: Who can apply?

Earlier, WBJEE scrapped the WBJEE decentralised counselling 2026 admission rule for students who have already been allotted a seat. According to the revised information bulletin, students who have participated in WBJEE counselling 2026 process and have been allotted seats can apply for the decentralised online process.

However, candidates who have already been admitted to a particular college in a particular stream or discipline combination cannot seek the same combination again through decentralised counselling.

Students having a valid WBJEE merit rank, JEE Main rank, or qualifying high school examination (10+2) merit can apply for WBJEE decentralised counselling 2026.

Additionally, candidates can submit fresh and existing choices, which may be added, removed, or modified only during the notified ‘Active Window’ period of the concerned phase.
