WBJEE 2026 Decentralised Counselling: Seat Matrix Released, Registration Begins Tomorrow

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has officially released the seat matrix for the 2026 decentralised counselling process. This announcement provides clarity for prospective students regarding the availability of seats across various engineering and technology institutions in the state. With the release of this data, candidates can now review the specific number of vacancies available for each course and college to better prepare for the upcoming seat allocation phase.

According to the official notification, a total of 33,857 seats are available for admission through this decentralised counselling process. The board has made the detailed seat matrix accessible, allowing students to examine the distribution of seats across different categories and institutions. This information is a critical resource for applicants as they plan their preferences for the next stage of the admission cycle.

Registration Details and Counselling Schedule

The registration process for Phase 1 of the decentralised counselling is scheduled to commence tomorrow, September 7. Interested candidates are required to visit the official WBJEEB website at wbjeeb.nic.in/wbjee to complete their registration and submit their course and college preferences. It is important to note that the deadline for Phase 1 registration and choice filling is September 8, at 11:59 PM. The board has clarified that there will be no opportunities for fresh registration or choice filling during the second round of Phase 1 counselling.

For candidates who have already participated in the centralised counselling process, the procedure is slightly different. These students are not required to register again; instead, they can log in directly to the portal to fill out their choices for colleges and courses. The board has advised all participants to review the seat matrix thoroughly before finalising their selections. While students are encouraged to choose based on their personal preferences, they should be aware that the final order of preference is subject to the guidelines set by the examination authority.
