With a WBJEE rank of around 59,000 in the General Merit Rank (GMR) and approximately 6,500 in the SC category, admission to top government engineering colleges in West Bengal for popular branches like Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is quite challenging. Typically, government colleges fill their CSE and ECE seats with candidates having ranks much better (lower) than 59,000 GMR, including reserved category cutoffs.

However, there are still some government and government-aided engineering colleges where candidates with SC ranks in the range of 6,000+ may have a chance depending on seat availability, branch preference, and counseling rounds. Admission chances improve if you are flexible with branch choice or consider less-demanded government colleges or newer campuses.

Some government engineering colleges in West Bengal where you can consider applying include:

1. West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT) Affiliated Colleges:
   Various colleges affiliated with WBUT accept WBJEE ranks across categories for branches including CSE and ECE. Checking round-by-round Cutoffs during counseling may help find places with available seats.

2. Government College of Engineering and Textile Technology, Serampore:
   Known for textile and other branches but may offer branches like ECE or allied streams with flexible cutoffs in reserved categories.

3. Government College of Engineering and Leather Technology, Kolkata:
   Another government college with limited seats in popular branches but often less competitive than premier institutes.

4. Camellia Institute of Engineering & Technology:
   While not fully government, it has government-aided status and can be considered for counseling under WBJEE.

5. Other Government-Aided Affiliates:
   Colleges like Kalyani Government Engineering College, Netaji Subhas Engineering College, Jhargram Government Engineering College may open seats during later rounds or mop-up rounds for reserved categories.

It is strongly recommended to participate actively in all counseling rounds and consider options like lateral entry, less popular branches, or newer campuses. The cutoff ranks fluctuate yearly based on seat availability, number of applicants, and category-specific reservation policies.

In summary, with your WBJEE rank, chances at top government colleges for CSE/ECE are limited but not impossible at some government or aided colleges accepting SC candidates. Flexibility and active counseling participation are key to securing admission.

With a GMR rank of 59000 and SC rank of 6500 in WBJEE, chances for CSE or ECE in government colleges are very low. These branches usually close at much better ranks for SC category students. You may still get admission in other branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical in some government colleges. For CSE/ECE, you have better chances in private colleges under WBJEE counselling. It is advisable to fill all choices to keep options open.

Hey! With a WBJEE GMR of 33652 and being in the OBC-B category, getting a core branch like CSE/ECE in top government colleges is very tough. But still, you have chances in some government engineering colleges in the later rounds (especially 3rd or mop-up).

You can try for colleges like:

Government College of Engineering and Leather Technology (non-core branches)

Government College of Ceramic Technology

Some seats in Kalyani Government Engineering College (in lower demand branches)

Regional Engineering Colleges or other state-aided universities (but mostly in non-core departments).

My suggestion: Keep patience till the last rounds because sometimes seats do open up for OBC-B. Also, keep backup options in private colleges or through management quota if you want a specific branch.

Hello,

With a WBJEE rank of 28,393, chances for B.Tech ECE in good colleges are very low. Jadavpur University and top private colleges close at much lower ranks. Some lesser-known private colleges may still offer ECE at this rank, but options are limited.

You may also try for other branches where cut-offs are higher.

Hope it helps !

No, you can’t use a previous year’s JEE rank for the current year’s WBJEE counselling. Only the JEE Main rank of the same admission year is valid along with that year’s WBJEE rank.

With a GMR 41869 and OBC-B rank 3689, admission to Architecture at Jadavpur University is quite difficult. JU cutoffs for B.Arch are usually very high, often closing within a few thousand ranks overall, and most seats go to top rankers. As for fees, JU is a government university, so it’s very affordable—around 2,500–5,000 per year, much cheaper than private colleges. You may get Architecture in some private or state colleges, but chances at JU with your rank are very low.

Hello Aspirant,

Securing a seat in a government engineering college in West Bengal with a GMR of 23375 is challenging. However, with your SC rank of 2117 , you have a strong chance. Based on previous years' cutoffs, this rank can get you into government colleges like Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College or Kalyani Government Engineering College , especially in branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering. You should participate in all counselling rounds.

Hey! With your GMR 20,724 and SC rank 1,810 in WBJEE 2025, you have a solid chance to get a seat in a government college under Home State quota. Generally, for SC category students, most government engineering colleges have closing ranks much higher than your rank, so you are well within the range. Colleges like University of Kalyani, Burdwan University, MAKAUT-affiliated colleges, and Jalpaiguri Govt Engineering College could be possible depending on branch preference. Make sure you participate in all rounds of counseling, because some seats may open up in later rounds. Also, fill your choices wisely—put your preferred colleges and branches in order. Keep all your documents ready for verification, and stay updated with the official counseling portal. If you plan carefully, you have a good shot at securing a government college seat, so don’t worry and stay focused during counseling.

With a WBJEE GMR rank of 81,823 and ST category rank of 662, getting admission to government colleges, especially for popular branches like CSE or ECE, is very unlikely because government colleges usually close ST category seats much earlier, often within a few thousand ranks. However, you might explore option in branches with higher cutoff ranks like Civil or Mechanical in some government colleges, but chances even there are low with that rank. Private colleges might offer better opportunities for your rank. So, getting a government college seat is quite tough with these ranks.
