West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination • Conducted by West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB)
Official Hall Ticket Release Timelines, Discrepancy Redressal, Security Guidelines & Bell Schedules
The WBJEE 2026 Admit Card (commonly designated as the Hall Ticket) represents an indispensable statutory credential issued by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB). It serves as the candidate's verified permit for entry into the physical examination hall for both Paper 1 (Mathematics) and Paper 2 (Physics & Chemistry). Administered strictly through online download at wbjeeb.nic.in approximately 10 to 14 days prior to the scheduled examination date, the admit card encodes vital operational parameters including the candidate's assigned Roll Number, unique Application ID, detailed Test Center address, landmark directions, and personalized reporting slots.
Under strict state examination directives, no candidate is permitted to cross the security perimeter of any examination center without presenting a crisp, legible, physical printout of their official Admit Card. Displaying digital soft copies, mobile PDF viewers, tablet screens, or email confirmations on smartphones is strictly prohibited and results in immediate disqualification at the gate. Furthermore, candidates must preserve their physical admit card in pristine condition throughout the post-examination phase, as it remains compulsory for physical document verification, centralized e-counselling reporting, and final institutional seat allocation.

Candidates must follow this step-by-step procedure to access and generate their official hall ticket from the Board portal:
Navigate to wbjeeb.nic.in and click on the prominent primary banner titled 'Download Admit Card for WBJEE 2026'. Ensure you are on the authentic NIC portal and that the SSL padlock icon is verified.
Select the authentication mode: 'Through Application Number and Password' or 'Through Application Number and Date of Birth'. Enter your 8-digit Application Number, chosen password, and the dynamic case-sensitive security PIN displayed on screen.
Upon successful authentication, the candidate's profile dashboard opens. Click on 'Generate / View Admit Card'. The system renders the cryptographic PDF hall ticket featuring the Board's official seal and digital signature.
Inspect all demographic and venue details on screen before issuing the print command. Verify spelling of candidate name, parent names, test center name, full postal street address, landmark, and allotted paper timings.
Print at least two high-resolution color copies of the admit card on crisp A4 white bond paper (80 GSM). Ensure that the candidate photograph, signature, barcode, and center address are sharp and devoid of printing streaks or fading.
Archive the downloaded PDF in secure cloud storage (Google Drive / DigiLocker). The download link is deactivated immediately following the conclusion of the examination, making post-exam retrieval impossible from the portal.
Upon downloading the hall ticket, every candidate must systematically cross-examine 14 specific data fields against their original Class 10 Admit Card and WBJEE Confirmation Page:
| Field # | Data Field Header | Verification Standard & Expected Accuracy Benchmark |
|---|---|---|
| Field 01 | Candidate's Full Name | Must exactly match the Class 10 Higher Secondary certificate character-by-character. |
| Field 02 | WBJEE Roll Number | Unique 10-digit roll number assigned for test center seat mapping and OMR bubbling. |
| Field 03 | Application Form Number | 8-digit registration identifier generated during initial portal registration. |
| Field 04 | Father's Full Name | Must correspond precisely with secondary board records without abbreviated initials. |
| Field 05 | Mother's Full Name | Must match secondary board records without clerical discrepancies. |
| Field 06 | Date of Birth (DOB) | Expressed in DD/MM/YYYY format; critical for tie-breaking ranking protocols. |
| Field 07 | Gender Identification | Male / Female / Third Gender as selected during online application. |
| Field 08 | Caste / Social Category | General / SC / ST / OBC-A / OBC-B / EWS; determines qualifying cutoffs. |
| Field 09 | Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) | Must indicate 'YES' or 'NO' consistent with candidate's application choice. |
| Field 10 | Persons with Disabilities (PwD) | Indicates benchmark disability status and entitlement to compensatory scribe time. |
| Field 11 | Candidate Photograph & Sign | Must be sharp, recognizable, properly aligned, and devoid of optical smudges. |
| Field 12 | Allocated Test Center Name | Exact name of the school, college, or polytechnic institution acting as venue. |
| Field 13 | Detailed Center Address & Pin | Full street address, municipal sub-division, landmark, and 6-digit PIN code. |
| Field 14 | Paper Timings & Reporting Slots | Paper 1 (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM); Paper 2 (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM); Reporting: 10:00 AM. |
If an admit card exhibits any factual inaccuracy (e.g., misspelled name, incorrect category designation, inverted photograph, or illegible barcode), candidates must execute immediate remedial action. Under Board regulations, Center Superintendents possess zero executive power to alter admit card data on exam day:
Draft an urgent grievance email to the official Board helpdesk: helpdesk@wbjeeb.in and wbjeeb@gmail.com. State your Full Name, 8-digit Application Number, Contact Number, and append scanned copies of the defective Admit Card alongside the original Confirmation Page and Class 10 Admit Card.
For severe discrepancies (such as mismatched photographs or erroneous category tags), candidates must report physically in person to the Board's headquarters: West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board, AQ-13/1, Sector-V, Salt Lake City, Kolkata - 700091. The grievance cell operates Monday through Friday between 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM.
Upon verifying physical records against server archives, the Controller of Examinations issues an authenticated correction certificate or re-generates an endorsed admit card allowing seamless entry into the examination center.
Every candidate must arrive at the test center carrying strictly the following four authorized items enclosed in a transparent plastic pouch:
| Permitted Item Description | Mandatory Specifications & Compliance Guidelines | Consequences of Non-Compliance |
|---|---|---|
| Printed Physical Admit Card | Crisp color printout on A4 sheet; barcode and photo fully visible. | Immediate denial of entry at security gate. |
| Original Photo Identity Proof | Aadhaar Card / Voter ID / Passport / School ID / Class 10 Admit Card. | Photocopies or phone scans rejected unconditionally. |
| Identical Passport Photograph | 1 original passport photograph identical to the image uploaded in form. | Required for manual pasting on physical attendance roll. |
| Black or Blue Ballpoint Pens | 2 high-quality ballpoint pens with transparent barrels. | Gel pens, ink pens, or pencils strictly prohibited for OMR. |
| PwD / Scribe Certificate (If Any) | Original disability certificate and Board scribe authorization letter. | Compensatory extra time cannot be granted without proof. |
WBJEEB enforces rigorous multi-tier security frisking conducted by state police personnel and private security teams. The following items are strictly banned:
• Communication & Electronic Gadgets: Cellular mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth earphones, fitness bands, micro-cameras, pagers, health monitors, or handheld transmitters. Test centers maintain no locker facilities; candidates bring devices at their own risk.
• Calculators and Mathematical Aids: Electronic calculators of any type, log tables, slide rules, electronic mathematical watches, or geometric instruments.
• Textual & Stationery Items: Textbooks, revision notes, formula sheets, loose paper, blank sheets, pencil cases, geometry boxes, correction fluid (whitener), or erasers.
• Accessories & Wallets: Thick leather wallets, metallic chains, heavy bracelets, caps, dark goggles, or sunglasses.
While WBJEE does not enforce a rigid uniform, the Board issues clear advisory dress guidelines to accelerate physical metal-detector frisking and ensure candidate comfort across summer heat conditions:
• Upper Wear: Simple, light-colored cotton T-shirts or half-sleeved shirts without large metallic buttons, brooches, or multi-layered collars.
• Lower Wear: Comfortable cotton trousers, jeans, or track pants with standard pockets. Cargo pants with numerous tactical utility pockets are strongly discouraged as they delay frisking lines.
• Footwear: Open slippers, sandals, or low-soled footwear. Heavy thick-soled boots or enclosed sneakers requiring extensive manual inspection should be avoided.
• Religious / Customary Attire: Candidates wearing customary religious garments (such as burqa, hijab, turban, or kirpan) must report to the examination center at least 60 minutes early (by 9:45 AM) to facilitate thorough, respectful security screening.
In recent testing cycles, WBJEEB has integrated advanced biometric digital authentication across select sensitive examination zones. Candidates are subjected to digital iris scans, digital fingerprinting, and high-definition facial recognition capture at entry gates. This captured biometric template is digitally linked to the candidate's unique Roll Number and stored on the Board's central server. During subsequent centralized e-counselling and institutional admission reporting, the candidate's biometric signature is re-scanned and cross-referenced. Any biometric mismatch immediately triggers statutory police investigation under state anti-impersonation laws.
Because late April marks the onset of severe nor'westers (locally termed Kalbaishakhi) and extreme summer temperatures across West Bengal, the Board coordinates with the state administration to maintain vital support systems:
• Dedicated Transportation Corridors: The Transport Department operates synchronized special services across the Kolkata Metro, North Suburban EMU lines, South Suburban EMU local trains, and WBTC state buses starting at 6:00 AM on exam Sunday. Candidates residing in suburban zones (e.g., Barasat, Baruipur, Barrackpore, Howrah Rural) are advised to utilize early morning transit windows.
• Electrification & Power Backups: Center Superintendents must guarantee functional generator power backups for continuous classroom lighting, ceiling fan circulation, and computer networking. Candidates experiencing power fluctuations inside exam halls should alert the presiding invigilator immediately.
• Severe Weather Shelter: Examination center gates open designated sheltered waiting compounds starting at 9:00 AM to safeguard candidates and accompanying guardians from sudden downpours or scorching midday heat.
If a candidate misplaces, soils, or loses their physical admit card following the examination, WBJEEB provides a duplicate admit card facility up to the final date of centralized counselling. Candidates must apply in writing to the Board Secretary, remitting a statutory administrative fee of ₹500 (Rupees Five Hundred only) via Demand Draft drawn in favor of 'West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board' payable at Kolkata. The duplicate card is stamped 'DUPLICATE' and mailed or handed over within 3 working days.
No! Digital copies on smartphones, tablets, or laptops are strictly unacceptable. You must produce a physical printed paper copy.
While technically readable, WBJEEB strongly advises colored printouts to ensure candidate facial features, stamps, and barcodes are unambiguously clear to invigilators.
Report immediately to the WBJEEB office at Salt Lake, Kolkata, at least 7 days before the exam with your Confirmation Page and two original passport photos for manual endorsement.
Gates are locked precisely at 10:45 AM for Paper 1 and 1:45 PM for Paper 2. No candidate is permitted inside under any circumstances once the gates lock.
No. Test center venues are allocated automatically based on capacity algorithms and cannot be modified under any pretext.
No attestation is required. The admit card generated by the Board's cryptographic portal is fully valid upon direct printing.
No. The Board never mails physical admit cards via speed post, courier, or registered post. Download via wbjeeb.nic.in is mandatory.
