What is the WBJEE exam?
WBJEE is the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination conducted by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) for admission to undergraduate engineering, technology and pharmacy programmes in government-aided and self-financing institutions across West Bengal. It is a state-level exam whose rank feeds the Board's centralised e-counselling, through which candidates are allotted a branch and college based on their merit rank, category and preferences.
The exam is a pen-and-paper OMR test held as two papers on the same day: Paper I is Mathematics and Paper II combines Physics and Chemistry, for a total of 155 questions and 200 marks. Because the Mathematics paper alone carries half the marks, WBJEE is distinctly Maths-heavy, and strong, accurate mathematics is usually what separates the top ranks.
