Hey there! Thanks for reaching out to us at Careers360. I'm happy to help you with your questions about WBJEE 2025.

First off, great news - you should be eligible for WBJEE 2025! Even though you completed 12th in 2022, WBJEE typically allows candidates who have passed their 10+2 exams within the last 3 years to apply. So you're well within that window.

As for being from another state, no worries! WBJEE is open to candidates from all over India. You'll just be considered under the "Other State" category for admissions.

Now, about the ranks needed for top colleges - that's a bit tricky to predict exactly, as it can vary year to year. But generally, for the top engineering colleges in West Bengal, you'd want to aim for a rank under 5000, and for the absolute top spots, under 1000. Of course, the lower the better!

And yes, you'll need to travel to West Bengal to take the exam. WBJEE is typically held in various centers across the state, so you'll have to pick a center when you apply.

One more thing - make sure to keep an eye on the official WBJEE website for the most up-to-date information on eligibility criteria and exam dates for 2025. Sometimes they make small changes to the rules.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck with your prep!
