WBJEE 2026 DCAP Phase 1 Registration Extended to Today Amid OTP Delivery Issues

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has extended the registration deadline for WBJEE 2026 Decentralised Counselling Phase 1 until today, September 9, 2026, at 6:00 PM. This extension comes after numerous students across West Bengal reported significant technical difficulties, specifically concerning the non-receipt of One-Time Passwords (OTPs) on their registered mobile numbers during the online application process on the official portal, wbjeeb.nic.in.

The initial registration window, which commenced on September 7 at 10 AM, was originally slated to close on September 8, 2026, at 11:59 PM. The reported OTP delivery issues necessitated the WBJEEB’s swift action to ensure all eligible candidates have adequate time to complete their registration for the crucial decentralised counselling process, which is managed through the Decentralised Counselling Admission Portal (DCAP-2026).
