WBJEE 2025 Result Updates: What Candidates Need to Know
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) 2025 exam was conducted on April 27, 2025, for candidates seeking admission to undergraduate engineering, pharmacy, and architecture programmes in West Bengal. However, the release of WBJEE 2025 results has faced several delays and legal hurdles, causing natural anxiety among candidates.
Exam and Result Timeline
Initially, the WBJEE results were expected in early June 2025, but it was postponed due to legal disputes over the updated list of OBC sub-castes in the state. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) had announced the new date for the result declaration on August 7, 2025. However, it was further hampered by the ongoing court proceedings in the Calcutta High Court over the OBC reservation policy, which delayed the declaration once again.
Impact of legal proceedings
A major reason for this delay is the Calcutta High Court’s direction to WBJEEB to prepare a fresh merit list incorporating the 7% OBC reservation allowed under the current legal guidelines. The Supreme Court’s intervention had temporarily allowed the board to go ahead, but the matter requires careful compliance with court orders. Candidates were given time from July 31 to August 2, 2025, to update their caste certificates online to reflect accurate social category details before finalizing the merit list.
Checking WBJEE 2025 Result
Once released, candidates will be able to check their WBJEE 2025 result online exclusively on the official website wbjeeb.nic.in. The result will be available in the form of a rank card showing the marks of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry as well as the overall rank. To check the result, candidates will have to log in with their application number and date of birth.
What to expect next?
- Result declaration: The result is pending due to legal requirements; no new date has been fixed yet.
- Counselling Process: Admission and counselling will remain suspended until the official result is published by the board.
- Frequent Updates: Candidates should regularly check the official website of WBJEE for official announcements and notifications related to the result declaration.
Tips for candidates awaiting results
Keep your application number and date of birth handy to login immediately after the result is declared. Make sure all caste and category certificates are updated and valid, as discrepancies may create problems in counselling. Be calm and patient, as legal compliance is necessary to ensure fairness and accuracy in preparing the merit list.
