Document Verification Process at WBJEE 2026 College Reporting
After seat allotment in WBJEE 2026 counselling, you must report to the allotted college with all documents. The process typically follows these steps:
- Download and print your allotment letter from the official WBJEEB portal after the seat allotment round result is published.
- Arrange all original documents along with the required number of self-attested photocopies as listed above.
- Visit the allotted college or designated reporting centre on the date specified in your allotment letter.
- Pay the seat acceptance fee as mentioned in the allotment letter — carry a demand draft if online payment is not available at your reporting venue.
- Present your documents at the verification counter. Officials will check originals against photocopies and confirm your category and eligibility.
- Once documents are cleared, you will receive a provisional admission letter from the college.
- Keep the acknowledgement receipt safely — it is required for further formalities such as hostel allocation and college ID card issuance.
Failure to report on the specified date with all required documents will result in automatic cancellation of your allotted seat.
Tips to Avoid Rejection at WBJEE 2026 Document Verification
Missing or invalid documents are among the most common reasons students lose their allotted WBJEE seats. Follow these steps before you report:
- Check certificate validity — category and income certificates can expire; renew them if issued more than one year ago.
- Ensure name consistency — your name must be spelled identically across all certificates, marksheets, and your WBJEE 2026 application form. Get a notarised affidavit if there is any mismatch.
- Carry at least 8 to 10 recent passport-size photographs with a white background — different departments and forms each require separate photographs.
- Gap year students must carry a notarised self-declaration explaining any gap period between Class 12 completion and WBJEE 2026 appearance.
- Reach the reporting centre early on your assigned date — queues are typically long on the first day of seat reporting.
- Keep digital copies of all documents saved on your phone or email, in case originals are misplaced during travel.
- Students from outside West Bengal must confirm they hold a valid West Bengal domicile certificate before applying for state quota seats during counselling.
