About WBJEE

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations were established on 2nd March 1962 under Article 162 of the constitution of India, by the government of West Bengal. It is monitored by the state government for carrying out admission procedures in engineering institutions and other self-financing institutions in West Bengal. It is carried out once every year in the state. It is hinged on the online application and e-counseling process later in 2012.
