If you cleared WBJEE 2026 and missed a seat in Round 1, today is your day. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board has opened Round 2 counselling registration, and the window stays open till July 17. Whether you are a fresh applicant or someone who registered earlier, this round gives you another shot at landing a seat in a government or private engineering college in West Bengal.
What Does Round 2 Counselling Cover?
Round 2 counselling lets you register, pay the fee and lock in your college and course choices. Once you submit your choices, you cannot change them, so take your time before hitting submit. This round accepts both fresh registrations and candidates who already registered in Round 1 but want to upgrade or try again.

Who Can Take Part in Round 2?
WBJEE has grouped candidates into different types based on their Round 1 status. Here is a quick breakdown:
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Type A | Accepted a Round 1 seat and now want higher preferences from their locked list. |
| Type B | Got no seat in Round 1 and want to continue with the same choice list. No fresh submission needed. |
| Type C | Got a seat in Round 1 but did not confirm it, and now want to submit fresh choices. |
| Type D | Want to drop the old choice list completely and start fresh. |
| Fresh Registrations | New candidates joining the counselling process for the first time. |
Documents to Keep Ready
Before you sit down to register, gather these documents in one place:
- 10th admit card or birth certificate
- 10th mark sheet
- 12th mark sheet
- Domicile certificate
- Category certificate (if applicable)
- Income certificate (if applicable)
- PwD certificate (if applicable)
PwD candidates also need to carry these along with their admit card when they report to the allotted centre for verification.
Fee Payment Rules
The counselling registration fee is INR 500, and it has to be paid online. There is no offline mode, so keep your card or net banking details handy. This fee is non-refundable, so pay it only after you are sure you want to proceed with Round 2. If you get a seat later and want to accept it, you will need to pay a separate seat acceptance fee of INR 5,000.
What Happens After You Submit Your Choices?
Once the choice filling window closes on July 17, WBJEE will process the seat allotment based on your rank, category and the choices you submitted. The result comes out on July 21. Log in with your roll number and password to check your seat allocation ID, which you will need during admission.
After seeing your allotted seat, you get three options: accept, reject or upgrade. If you accept, pay the seat acceptance fee between July 21 and July 23. Miss this window, and your seat gets cancelled automatically, so set a reminder on your phone.
A Peek at Round 1 Cutoffs for Computer Science
Curious about where you might stand? Here is how the Round 1 cutoff looked for a few top institutes in Computer Science Engineering:
| Institute | 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 Kalyani | Home State | 943 | 2490 |
| MAKAUT | All India | 1200 | 3308 |
These numbers can shift in Round 2 depending on how many seats open up after Round 1 confirmations and cancellations, so keep checking the official portal for updates.
A Quick Note for JEE Main Qualifiers
If you cleared JEE Main and not WBJEE, you still have a shot. Self-financing institutes reserve 10 percent of their approved seats for JEE Main qualified candidates, and this quota runs alongside the regular WBJEE counselling process.
Round 2 counselling is your chance to fix a missed opportunity from Round 1 or lock in a better seat than before. Fill your form with a clear head, double check your choices before submitting, and keep your documents ready for the verification stage that follows.
