Step 1: WBJEE 2027 Counselling Registration
Candidates first have to register through the WBJEEB counselling portal. During registration, candidates are required to provide personal, academic and other necessary information.
The 2026 process required candidates to enter details related to Class 10 and Class 12 results, including subject-wise marks where applicable. Candidates were specifically advised to enter the information carefully because corrections were not permitted after final submission.
Step 2: Pay the Counselling Registration Fee
Candidates have to pay the prescribed counselling registration fee online.
For reference, the WBJEE 2026 counselling registration fee was ₹500, and the notification stated that the fee was non-refundable. The fee applicable to WBJEE 2027 will be known only after the official notification is released.
Step 3: Fill College and Course Choices
After registration and payment, eligible institutes and courses are displayed according to the candidate’s eligibility.
Candidates can select their preferred college and branch and arrange them according to priority. WBJEEB advised candidates to enter as many suitable choices as possible to improve their chances of receiving a seat and specifically advised selecting at least 20 choices.
Candidates should prepare their choice list carefully because the order of choices plays an important role in seat allotment.
Step 4: Choice Locking
After completing choice filling, candidates must lock their choices before the deadline specified in the counselling schedule.
Candidates can also take a printout of their locked choices. If a candidate does not lock the choices manually, the last saved choices are automatically locked after the specified deadline, according to the 2026 rules.
WBJEE 2027 Counselling Round 1 Seat Allotment
In Round 1, sea 2027ts are allotted to candidates who have completed registration, paid the counselling fee, submitted their choices and completed choice locking.
The allotment is based on several factors, including:
- General Merit Rank (GMR), wherever applicable
- Eligibility for the institute and course
- Category and reservation status
- Availability of seats
- Order of choices submitted by the candidate
These factors were specified for Round 1 in the 2026 counselling notification.
Candidates can log in to the counselling portal to check their allotment result and download the allotment letter.
What Happens After WBJEE 2027 Counselling Round 1 Allotment?
The next step depends on the seat allotted to the candidate.
A candidate allotted the first-choice seat and who pays the Seat Acceptance Fee generally proceeds towards admission and is not eligible for further rounds under the 2026 rules.
Candidates receiving a lower-preference seat may have the option of seeking upgradation in the next round after completing the required formalities.
Candidates who do not receive any seat can also continue in the subsequent round according to the applicable counselling rules.
WBJEE 2027 Counselling Round 2
Round 2 provides opportunities for seat upgradation, fresh choice filling and filling vacancies left after Round 1.
Depending on the candidate’s situation, some candidates can continue with their existing locked choices, while others may be permitted or required to submit a fresh choice list. Candidates who need fresh registration for Round 2 have to complete the process within the notified schedule.
If a candidate receives an upgraded seat in Round 2, the earlier allotment is automatically cancelled and released for other candidates. The notification states that such upgradation is final and cannot subsequently be reversed.
WBJEE Round 3 Counselling
The third round is the final centralised counselling round under the 2026 structure. Eligible candidates can participate after completing the prescribed registration and fee formalities, wherever applicable.
Depending on the applicable rules, candidates may retain their previous choices or submit fresh choices. The page 14 flowchart in the counselling document illustrates the Round 3 process, including allotment, upgradation and admission.
WBJEE Seat Acceptance Fee
A candidate receiving a seat for the first time in a counselling round has to pay the Seat Acceptance Fee within the prescribed deadline.
In the 2026 counselling process, the Seat Acceptance Fee was ₹5,000. Failure to pay the fee within the stipulated period resulted in cancellation of the allotment.
The amount for WBJEE 2027 will be confirmed by WBJEEB.
Document Verification After Seat Allotment
After paying the Seat Acceptance Fee, candidates have to report physically to the allotted institute for document verification within the specified period.
Candidates must carry the allotment letter and required original documents along with self-attested copies. The 2026 notification specifically states that physical document verification is mandatory and failure to report within the prescribed period can lead to cancellation of the allotted seat.
Documents may include:
- Class 10 certificate/admit card for date of birth
- Class 10 marksheet
- Class 12 marksheet
- Domicile certificate, wherever applicable
- Category certificate
- PwD certificate, wherever applicable
- TFW certificate, wherever applicable
- Other documents prescribed by the institute/WBJEEB
Candidates should check the 2027 notification for the final document list.
