Can a student outside West Bengal opt for WBJEE?

Hello, West Bengal appears to be the only state not insisting on domicile certificate for taking WBJEE. The official announcement has been made and full information is available on its website. However for benefit of students I will state few important facts.The WBJEE will be conducted n 22 Apr 2018. It will be in Pen and Paper mode only. There will be two papers. One for maths and other for Chemistry + Physics. Both papers will be two hours duration. Any citizen of India can appear. He/she should be of minimum age of 17 years. There is no upper limit. Exam will be conducted in 44 cities spread across West Bengal, Assam and Tripura. If one sees this, it’s clear that student outside West Bengal can surely appear and get admission in any of the 104 participating institutions across West Bengal.To conclude, I will say that any Indian citizen of 17 years or more can appear for this exam of course with restrictions of marks for general and reserve category students of 45% and 40% respectively along with need to score at least 30% in English.

West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination or WBJEE is the entrance examination for admission to various state colleges for admission in B.Tech programs offered by the college. Yes, the other state student can take the WBJEE examination and be eligible for admission in West Bengal colleges but only under certain conditions: 1. You should summon the domicile certificate for the state by any legal means you can think of. 2. If you have completed your class 11th and 12th or basically higher secondary education and can present your report card for the college. 3. If your parents happen to be from the State of West Bengal then you are eligible to get admission through counselling. Otherwise, the only other way to get admission in the West Bengal private colleges is to get admission through management quota or direct admission by paying an amount for capturing a seat in the college. I highly discourage this method of getting admission. I hope you make the right choice. Good luck and cheers.

As West Bengal is one of the hub of engineering colleges that provide best engineering courses which has great facilities infrastructure and faculties and provide with great placement.

West Bengal is one of the biggest state of India which play an important role in the development of India. It has eighteen universities. Many good college, research institute, company are the attraction point for students all over the India but Mainly from WB and Bihar. Kolkata has played a pioneering role in the development of the modern education system in India. West Bengal take their single exam called WBJEE through which one can get admission in Government College or in Private College. This is really one of the challenging exam which filter good student. Student from outside Can choose Bengal as Good option for study as People of WB also of helping nature and environment is also good. There are also some good company which is a catching point for students. And Student also understand this point and because of this reason every year student who appeared in WBJEE are more from outside WB. Many Year toppers are also from other states. WB is one of the good state so it is good decision for studying here for north and east state student rather in other hilly state.
