How Category Reservation Works in WBJEE 2026

WBJEE maintains separate merit lists for each category: General (Unreserved), OBC-A, OBC-B, SC, and ST. Candidates are ranked within their category merit list and compete for the reserved seats in each college and branch.

The WBJEE category-wise college predictor uses 2025 closing ranks for each category to estimate your admission chances. A candidate from the SC category with rank 5,000 may get Jadavpur University CSE, which closes at 800–2,000 for General candidates — demonstrating the significant relaxation available.

West Bengal also allows candidates to compete in the General merit list if their scores are strong enough, giving category candidates additional opportunities for seat allotment.

WBJEE Category Reservation – FAQs

Common questions about WBJEE OBC/SC/ST category-wise college prediction

How does WBJEE category-wise reservation work?

WBJEE reserves seats for OBC-A (10%), OBC-B (7%), SC (22%), and ST (6%) categories out of the total seats in each college. Category candidates are ranked within their own merit list and get allotment at relaxed closing ranks compared to the General (Unreserved) category.

What WBJEE rank is needed for Jadavpur University CSE in OBC category?

Jadavpur University CSE for OBC-A and OBC-B candidates typically closes around rank 2,000–4,000 in WBJEE, compared to 800–2,000 for the General category. SC candidates may see closing ranks around 3,000–6,000 for the same branch.

Can OBC candidates use the same predictor as General category?

No — you should select your specific category (OBC-A, OBC-B, SC, or ST) in the predictor. The closing ranks differ significantly between categories. Always use category-specific cutoff data for accurate prediction.

What documents are required to claim OBC/SC/ST reservation in WBJEE counselling?

You need a valid caste certificate issued by the competent authority of West Bengal (state of domicile). OBC-A/OBC-B certificate must confirm non-creamy layer status. These documents are verified during WBJEE counselling document verification rounds.

Is there a home-state reservation for SC/ST in WBJEE?

WBJEE primarily admits West Bengal domicile candidates. The SC/ST reservation under WBJEE applies to candidates who are domicile of West Bengal and belong to the respective scheduled caste or tribe listed in West Bengal state lists, not the central list.
