WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 Phase 1 Registration Extended Till September 9; Check Revised Schedule at wbjeeb.nic.in

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has extended the Phase 1 registration window for WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 until September 9, 2026, 6:00 PM, accessible via the official website, wbjeeb.nic.in. This extension directly impacts candidates seeking admission to various engineering and technological courses, allowing them additional time to complete their registration process.

The decision to extend the deadline was made in direct response to numerous technical difficulties reported by candidates attempting to access the counselling portal. These issues included slow loading times, payment failures, incomplete profile saves, and significant server congestion, which hindered many from completing their applications within the original timeframe.

WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026: Revised Phase 1 Schedule

The extension of the registration window has necessitated a revision of the entire Phase 1 counselling schedule. The original Phase 1 Active Window for registration was from September 7, 2026, 10:00 AM, to September 8, 2026, 11:59 PM. The revised schedule now pushes key dates, including the publication of the Round 1 merit and allocation list, which will now be released on September 11, 2026, at 10:30 AM.

Candidates participating in the decentralised counselling for the first time are required to pay a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of ₹250. Additionally, a refundable seat acceptance fee of INR 5,000 is applicable for those provisionally admitted against an allocated seat. The WBJEE-2026 examination was conducted on May 24, 2026, following online registration that took place from March 10, 2026, to April 8, 2026.

WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026: Post-Allocation Process

Following the publication of the Round 1 merit and allocation list, candidates who have been allotted a seat must proceed with provisional admission. This involves paying the Seat Acceptance Fee and obtaining a system-generated ‘Provisional Admission Receipt’ between September 11, 2026, 10:30 AM, and September 12, 2026, 11:59 PM. Then, physical document verification and admission/withdrawal confirmation at the respective institutes will take place from September 11, 2026, 10:30 AM, to September 13, 2026, 6:30 PM.

For candidates who may not secure a seat in the initial allocation or wish to explore further options, a Post Round 1 publication of a New Allocation List is scheduled for September 13, 2026, 5:00 PM. Provisional admission against these newly allocated seats will be from September 13, 2026, 5:00 PM, to September 14, 2026, 11:59 PM. The corresponding physical document verification and admission/withdrawal confirmation at the institute will then occur from September 14, 2026, 10:00 AM, to September 15, 2026, 4:00 PM.

WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026: Phase 2 Information

The WBJEEB has also outlined the schedule for Phase 2 of the decentralised counselling. Vacant seat information for Phase 2 will be published on September 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The registration window for Phase 2 will open immediately thereafter, from September 16, 2026, 5:00 PM, and will close on September 18, 2026, 11:59 PM. The publication of the Phase 2 Merit and Allocation List is scheduled for September 20, 2026, at 10:00 AM.

This provision is specifically for those seeking a different college or a revised stream/discipline combination, offering an additional opportunity to secure their preferred academic placement.
