WBJEE 2026 on May 24; notification, information brochure next

Last year, the declaration of the WBJEE results was delayed for several months due to a legal dispute over the implementation of OBC reservations. The Board had withheld the merit list after the Calcutta High Court directed the board to publish a fresh list in line with its order on OBC reservations. Justice Kausik Chanda had said the revised panel should include a 7 per cent reservation for 66 OBC classes recognised by the state’s Backwards Classes Department prior to 2010. The uncertainty ended after the Supreme Court of India stayed the High Court’s order on August 22, clearing the way for the board to release the results. Consequently, the WBJEE 2025 results were announced on August 22, nearly four months after the exam was conducted on April 27.

Last year, Aniruddha Chakrabarti of Don Bosco School, Park Circus secured the first rank in WBJEE. Samyajyoti Biswas from Kalyani Central Model School finished second, while Dishaanth Basu of Delhi Public School, Ruby Park claimed the third position. Aritro Ray, also from Delhi Public School, Ruby Park, secured the fourth rank.

The fifth position went to Trishanjit Doloi of Purba International School, Durgapur, followed by Sagnik Patra from Medinipur Collegiate School in sixth place. Sambit Mukhopadhyay of Burdwan Model School ranked seventh, while Archisman Nandy of DAV Model School, Kharagpur secured the eighth position. Pratik Dhanuka of Delhi Public School, Rajarhat rounded off the top ten list at ninth place.
