The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has released the Phase 1 Round 1 seat allocation result for WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 on the official portal, wbjeeb.co.in. Candidates who registered and filled choices for this round can now log in to check their allotment status for admission into Engineering, Technology, Pharmacy and Architecture courses at participating institutes in West Bengal.

Latest Update: Phase 1 Round 1 Seat Allocation Released

As of today, September 11, 2026, candidates allotted a seat in Phase 1 Round 1 should confirm their allocation as soon as possible. If a candidate has been included in multiple allocation lists, they must lock down a single choice. WBJEEB has clarified that no fresh choice filling will be accepted for the subsequent Round 2 allocation; only candidates not allotted in Round 1 will be eligible for Round 2 through upgradation, based on the choices already submitted.

Background: WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026

WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 is conducted by WBJEEB to fill vacant seats remaining after the earlier centralised WBJEE counselling rounds concluded. As per the official seat matrix, a total of 33,857 seats are available across Engineering, Technology and Architecture programmes in this phase, spread across both government and private institutes in West Bengal. Admission is based on WBJEE rank, JEE Main rank, or Class 12 qualifying marks, depending on the eligibility criteria applicable to each candidate. WBJEEB had earlier extended the Phase 1 registration and choice-filling deadline to accommodate more candidates before Round 1 allocation was processed. The decentralised counselling process runs in two phases, with each phase consisting of two rounds of seat allocation, giving candidates multiple structured opportunities to secure a seat even after the main centralised counselling has concluded.

How to Check and Confirm Your WBJEE Round 1 Allocation

  1. Visit the official WBJEEB decentralised counselling portal, wbjeeb.co.in.
  2. Log in using your roll number and password.
  3. Check your Phase 1 Round 1 seat allocation status.
  4. If allotted to multiple choices, select and lock a single preferred option.
  5. Pay the seat acceptance fee of Rs 2,000 through the available online payment methods.
  6. Download the allocation letter and proceed with document verification at the allotted institute.
Candidates who do not accept any allocation within the notified deadline risk losing their opportunity for that round, so allotted candidates should confirm their preference and complete the fee payment promptly rather than waiting until the last moment.— General advisory based on WBJEEB decentralised counselling guidelines

Impact on Candidates

For candidates who missed a seat in the earlier centralised WBJEE counselling rounds, this Phase 1 Round 1 result offers a fresh opportunity to secure admission from the large pool of 33,857 vacant seats. Candidates who are not allotted in this round should note that no additional choices can be submitted for Round 2; only candidates who remain unallotted from the choices already filled will be automatically considered for Round 2 upgradation. Candidates already holding an admission through centralised counselling should carefully weigh whether to pursue an upgrade, since their earlier seat will only be cancelled once a new allocation is confirmed. Candidates should also keep in mind that withdrawal requests made after the notified last date will not be eligible for a refund of the seat acceptance fee, making it important to make a firm decision before locking any allocation.
