Will WBJEE results be declared before or after July 31? HC stay on OBC quota has aspirants worried

"Despite repeated calls to the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB), there is still no confirmation on the WBJEE 2025 results," an aspirant awaiting admission to engineering and pharmacy courses wrote on X. A large number of candidates who appeared for the state-level entrance exam have been flooding X and other social media platforms, seeking clarity on the WBJEE 2025 result date.

More than 1 lakh students from West Bengal and other states register for the WBJEE exam each year. The WBJEE scores are used for admission to engineering, technology, pharmacy, and architecture courses in institutions across West Bengal.

On June 17, the Calcutta High Court ordered an interim stay on the West Bengal government’s decision regarding reservations under 140 subsections of the OBC-A and OBC-B categories.

"A division bench comprising Justices Tapabrata Chakraborty and Rajasekhar Mantha, in an interim order valid until July 31, directed that executive notifications issued between May 8 and June 13 concerning the Other Backward Classes (OBC) categories will not be implemented until that date," PTI reported.

The court further directed that "all consequential acts thereof will also remain stayed till July 31." This means the West Bengal admissions process, including WBJEE results and counselling, may be delayed until July 31.

Candidates have expressed disappointment over the uncertainty surrounding the result date, with several wondering whether the WBJEE 2025 results will be declared on or after July 31.

On May 15, the WBJEEB chairperson Sonali Chakraborty said that the WBJEE results 'maybe delayed' due to the ongoing legal cases on OBC quota.

Several candidates have taken to social media to demand clarity on the result date for the engineering entrance exam.

"WBJEE 2025 results are still not released, while JoSAA counselling has already begun. Thousands of students from West Bengal are left in uncertainty. Despite repeated calls to the WBJEE Board, there has been no response regarding the results," wrote KB Singh on X.

Since the High Court has put a stay on the OBC case, when will the WBJEE results be declared—before or after July 31? Asmit Kumar asked the Board.

Tagging West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Soumo Deep wrote on X: "WBJEE results are still not out, and the WBJEE Board has not provided any prior information. We request the Honorable CM to look into this matter."

Sankha Mukherjee added: "Please release the WBJEE 2025 result as soon as possible. Students are worried and frustrated."
