If you believe there is an error in your marks or rank, check the WBJEEB portal for any score verification or challenge window before its deadline closes.
PUBDET 2026 Counselling Registration Steps
PUBDET 2026 counselling is fully online. Follow these steps to complete your registration:
- Visit the official portal at wbjeeb.nic.in/pubdet/ and click the counselling registration link when it goes live.

PUBDET 2026 Choice Filling and Seat Allotment Process
Choice filling determines which seat you receive. Follow these points carefully:
- Fill as many programme and institution combinations as possible — there is no penalty for adding more choices, and more preferences increase your chances of a seat.
- Order choices by preference — the system allots the best available seat from your list based on your merit rank. Put your most preferred option first.
- Do not lock choices prematurely — review the full list carefully because once you click the lock/freeze button, no changes can be made to your choice order.
- Seat allotment is fully automated and merit-based — no manual requests or appeals are entertained after the choice filling window closes.
- After receiving a Round 1 allotment, pay the seat acceptance fee of Rs 1,000 within the deadline. Non-payment cancels the allotment automatically.
- Students not allotted a seat in Round 1 or who surrender their seat may participate in Round 2 if WBJEEB conducts it to fill remaining vacancies.
After seat acceptance, report to Presidency University or the allotted college with all original documents on the date specified by WBJEEB. Failure to report within the deadline automatically cancels your allotted seat, and it is offered to the next eligible student on the merit list.
