The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) 2025 results have finally been declared today, August 22, by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB). This annual state-level entrance test is a gateway for admission to undergraduate engineering, pharmacy, and architecture courses in West Bengal. Thousands of students who appeared for the exam across the state have been eagerly awaiting their results. The delay in declaration, originally scheduled for early August, was due to court directives regarding OBC reservation in the merit list. Now, candidates can access their rank cards and the final answer key online via the official portals, wbjeeb.nic.in and wbjeeb.in, ensuring a smooth transition into the counselling and admission process.

The WBJEEB has also released the Final Answer Key for WBJEE 2025, enabling students to cross-check their responses and estimate their probable scores. To access the answer key, candidates need to visit the official website, wbjeeb.nic.in, where they can find the link titled “WBJEE Final Answer Key”. This allows candidates to verify their performance, clarify any doubts regarding the evaluation, and better prepare for the subsequent counselling and admission process.
Why was the result delayed?
The WBJEE 2025 results were delayed due to legal and administrative reasons. Originally scheduled for early August, the declaration was postponed following a directive from the Calcutta High Court, which intervened regarding the inclusion of OBC reservation in the merit list. The court asked the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) to issue a revised and accurate merit list that complied with reservation norms.This required the board to review and update candidate rankings, cross-check marks, and incorporate changes in the provisional answer key. As a result, the results were released only after these corrections, ensuring that the final merit list was legally compliant and transparent for all candidates.
What’s next?
After the WBJEE 2025 results have been declared, candidates should focus on the next steps in the admission process:
- Counselling Registration: The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) will soon open the counselling portal. Students must register online to participate in the seat allotment process for engineering, pharmacy, and architecture courses.
- Document Verification: Candidates need to prepare all required documents, including WBJEE admit card, rank card, academic certificates, and caste or category certificates (if applicable), for verification during counselling.
- Choice Filling: Students should create a prioritised list of preferred colleges and courses, as seat allotment depends on rank and choices submitted.
- Seat Allotment and Admission: Based on ranks and preferences, seats will be allotted. Students must confirm admission by paying the required fees and completing college-level formalities.
- Stay Updated: Regularly check the official WBJEEB website for announcements and deadlines to avoid missing any critical steps.
