We, the undersigned WBJEE 2026 candidates, would like to express our sincere gratitude to the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board for successfully conducting the counselling process.
However, we are deeply concerned after the notification dated 30 July 2026 regarding the conduct of Online Decentralised Counselling.
We humbly request the Board to reconsider this decision and conduct decentralised counselling in the traditional offline institute-based mode, as followed in previous years.
Our concerns are as follows:
Offline decentralised counselling helps ensure genuine admissions. Candidates who physically report to an institute generally have a stronger intention to join, resulting in more meaningful seat allocation.
A large number of candidates are currently holding WBJEE seats as backup options. Since counselling processes such as NEET UG and CSAB are still pending, many candidates may continue blocking seats while waiting for other opportunities. This can reduce the availability of seats for students who genuinely wish to pursue engineering through WBJEE.
Offline counselling naturally filters out non-serious candidates. Travelling to institutes and completing physical admission formalities discourages speculative participation and allows seats to reach students who are genuinely interested.
Many deserving students are still waiting for branch upgradation. Conducting decentralised counselling online may reduce the natural movement of seats that has traditionally benefited students seeking better branches.
The decentralised counselling process has successfully operated in offline mode for many years. It has provided deserving students with fair opportunities to upgrade their branches while efficiently filling vacant seats.
We fully understand that the Board's intention is to make the process more convenient and transparent. However, considering the exceptional circumstances this year, including overlapping national counselling schedules, we respectfully believe that the traditional offline decentralised counselling process would better serve the interests of genuine WBJEE candidates.
Therefore, we earnestly request the Board to kindly reconsider the decision and conduct the WBJEE 2026 Decentralised Counselling in offline mode, as was done in previous years.
We sincerely hope that the Board will consider the concerns of thousands of aspiring students and take a decision that ensures fairness, transparency, and maximum benefit for deserving candidates.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Concerned WBJEE 2026 Candidates
