WBJEE 2025 Results Face Legal Delay
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has postponed the WBJEE 2025 results, which were originally scheduled for release on August 7. This delay stems from contempt proceedings in the Calcutta High Court related to a revised OBC reservation list. Although the results were ready as early as June 5, the board withheld them due to legal concerns.
Justice Kausik Chanda is currently reviewing petitions from merit-listed candidates and WBJEEB. The next court hearing is scheduled for August 7. Meanwhile, over 1.5 lakh aspirants who took the entrance exam on April 27 continue to wait for clarity on their academic future.
Steps to Check WBJEE 2025 Results
Once results are declared, candidates should visit wbjeeb.nic.in and log in using their application number and password or date of birth. The rank cards will include total and subject-wise marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, as well as General Merit Rank (GMR) and category-specific ranks.
Students must download and print their scorecards, which are necessary for WBJEE 2025 counselling. WBJEEB will not dispatch physical copies, so candidates should regularly check the official portal for result and counselling updates.
Impact on Counselling and Admissions
This delay could disrupt the West Bengal Centralised Admission Process (WBCAP), which is expected to begin shortly after result declaration. Counselling involves registration, choice filling, and submission of essential documents like WBJEE 2025 rank cards, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, and category certificates.
The General Merit List will guide seat allocation, while separate cutoffs apply to SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, and PwD candidates. Notably, the court had previously removed 77 communities from the OBC list, further complicating the process. As a result, seat distribution for thousands may be impacted.
What Candidates Should Do Now
Although the WBJEE 2025 result date remains uncertain, candidates should stay alert and keep documents ready. The final answer key has already been published, confirming the board’s commitment to accuracy. Once legal matters conclude, WBJEEB is likely to release results promptly, followed by counselling details.
Aspiring students, especially those targeting top institutions like Jadavpur University and MAKAUT, should track cutoff trends. For example, Computer Science seats often close within the top 150 ranks. Candidates may also use online tools like WBJEE College Predictor to assess their admission chances.

A Waiting Game with High Stakes
This delay highlights the tension between judicial rulings and academic timelines. While uncertainty persists, WBJEEB’s timely online communication offers a sense of control. Ultimately, the court’s decision will define the next steps for thousands of hopeful engineers and pharmacists in West Bengal.
