The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board has released the WBJEE 2026 Round 1 cutoff. If you took the exam and are waiting for your seat allotment, this is the update you need. The cutoff list shows opening and closing ranks for each college, branch, and category.
Computer Science and Engineering continues to be the toughest branch to crack this year too. Some things never change, and CSE holding the top spot is one of them.
How to Check WBJEE 2026 Round 1 Cutoff
Checking your cutoff rank takes only a few minutes. Follow these steps:
- Visit the official website wbjeeb.nic.in/wbjee
- Click on the 'e-services/OR-CR' tab
- Select 'ORCR WBJEEB 2026 Counselling'
- Choose your institute, programme, and category

Keep in mind that meeting the cutoff does not guarantee you a seat. It simply improves your chances during the allotment process. Think of it as a good sign, not a confirmed ticket.
WBJEE 2026 Round 1 Cutoff: CSE Still the Toughest Branch
Jadavpur University remains the dream college for most engineering aspirants in West Bengal. Its CSE seats closed at rank 14 for the All India quota and rank 108 for the Home State quota. If you are aiming for this college, you know the competition is fierce.
Here is a look at how other top institutes fared for CSE in Round 1:
| Institute Name | Quota | Opening Rank | Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jadavpur University | All India | 2 | 14 |
| Jadavpur University | Home State | 17 | 108 |
| University Of Calcutta | All India | 246 | 390 |
| University Of Calcutta | Home State | 402 | 816 |
| University Of Kalyani | All India | 399 | 811 |
| University Of Kalyani | Home State | 943 | 2490 |
| Kalyani Government Engineering College, Nadia | Home State | 438 | 1324 |
| Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College | Home State | 968 | 1783 |
| MAKAUT | All India | 1200 | 3308 |
| Govt. College of Engineering & Ceramic Technology, Kolkata | Home State | 1638 | 3066 |
| Government College of Engineering and Leather Technology, Kolkata | Home State | 2151 | 3895 |
| Govt. College of Engineering & Textile Technology, Serampore | Home State | 2167 | - |
Notice how the closing rank jumps quite a bit as you move down the list. This gap tells you a lot about how demand shifts from top-tier colleges to others. If your rank falls somewhere in the middle, you still have solid options across the state.
Separate cutoffs exist for different categories, so make sure you check the list that applies to you. A rank that looks out of reach in the general category might work well under a reserved category.
Round 1 allotment has already used this cutoff data to place students into seats. If you did not get your preferred choice this round, do not panic. WBJEE counselling runs across multiple rounds, and ranks often open up as students confirm or reject their seats.
Keep your documents ready and stay alert for updates on the official WBJEE website. The next round could bring the change you are hoping for.
