JECA 2026 round 2 fee payment and reporting close today

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has set today, October 5, 2026, as the final deadline for fee payment and institute reporting for candidates who have been allotted seats in Round 2 of the JECA-2026 e-counselling. The window for these processes will close by 5 PM. The Round 2 seat allotment result was published on October 3, 2026, for admission to Master of Computer Application (MCA) courses in institutions and universities across West Bengal for the academic session 2026-27.

Candidates who fail to complete the required admission process before the 5 PM deadline today may lose their allotted seat. The e-counselling process, with notification number WBE/EX-60, is designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and accuracy in seat allocation, a practice WBJEEB has maintained since 2012.

JECA-2026 Counselling Process and Deadlines

The JECA-2026 e-counselling process consists of three rounds for MCA admissions. The WBJEEB published the JECA-2026 e-counselling notification on September 15, 2026. Candidates must possess a valid General Merit Rank (GMR) in JECA-2026 to register for counselling, which requires a non-refundable registration fee of Rs. 500/-. Applicants were advised to select at least 20 choices during choice filling to enhance their chances of allotment.

The seat acceptance fee for Round 2 is Rs 5,000, which is non-refundable and must be paid online. Candidates can use net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI for payment. Following the conclusion of Round 2, the Round 3 registration and choice-filling window is scheduled for October 7 to 8, 2026. The Round 3 seat allotment result is then scheduled to be released on October 10, 2026.

Document Verification and Reservation Policies

For final admission and institute verification, candidates are required to present several documents. These include the JECA 2026 rank card, seat allotment letter, Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets, graduation marksheets, and a valid photo ID proof. Candidates claiming reservation benefits must have their category or reservation certificates ready and should carry original documents along with photocopies during the institute verification process.

Reservation policies for SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD categories strictly adhere to the extant rules of the Government of West Bengal. OBC candidates are required to produce an updated Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificate during the counselling and admission process. For PwD candidates, a minimum of forty percent (40%) specified disability is necessary for reservation eligibility, with certificates issued by authorities as per Order No. 289-HF /O/PHP/IR-05/2017 dated August 29, 2018, by the Government of West Bengal, Health & Family Welfare Department (PHP Branch).
