Students appearing in WBJEE 2026 counselling must upload a defined set of documents during online registration at wbjeeb.nic.in — including the rank card, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, a domicile certificate, and category certificates wherever applicable.
WBJEE 2026 counselling is conducted entirely online by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB). After the rank card is released, eligible students must register on the official portal, upload scanned documents, fill in college and branch choices, and report to the allotted institution. Having all documents ready before the registration window opens saves time and prevents last-minute errors that could cost you your seat.
- The WBJEE 2026 Rank Card and the Admit Card are the two primary identity documents required at registration.
- West Bengal students must submit a valid Domicile or Residential Certificate to claim state-quota seats.
- Students from reserved categories (SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, EWS) need a valid category certificate issued by a competent West Bengal authority.
- All documents uploaded online must be self-attested scanned copies; originals are verified only at the time of college reporting.
- The Migration Certificate is mandatory for students who passed Class 12 from a board other than WBCHSE.

Category-wise Documents for WBJEE 2026 Counselling
Students claiming reservation benefits must submit certificates issued by a competent authority in West Bengal. Certificates from authorities outside West Bengal are generally not accepted for state-quota reserved seats under WBJEE 2026.
| Category | Certificate Required | Issuing Authority |
|---|---|---|
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | Caste Certificate | BDO / SDO / Municipal authority, West Bengal |
| ST (Scheduled Tribe) | Tribe Certificate | BDO / SDO / Municipal authority, West Bengal |
| OBC-A | WB State OBC-A Certificate | BDO / SDO / Municipal authority, West Bengal |
| OBC-B | WB State OBC-B Certificate | BDO / SDO / Municipal authority, West Bengal |
| EWS (Economically Weaker Section) | EWS Income and Asset Certificate | Competent WB authority; annual family income below ₹8 lakh |

Important: West Bengal uses its own state-specific OBC-A and OBC-B classifications, which are different from the central OBC list. A central OBC certificate or a certificate from another state will not be accepted for reserved-category seats in WBJEE 2026 counselling. The certificate must explicitly state WB State OBC-A or OBC-B.
How to Upload Documents for WBJEE 2026 Online Registration

WBJEE 2026 Counselling Documents FAQs
Ques. What documents are required for WBJEE 2026 counselling registration?
Ans. You need the WBJEE 2026 Rank Card, Admit Card, Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates, a valid photo ID such as Aadhaar, recent passport-size photographs, a Domicile Certificate for WB-domicile students, and category certificates if you belong to a reserved category.
Ques. Is a Domicile Certificate mandatory for WBJEE 2026 counselling?
Ans. Yes. West Bengal students claiming state-quota seats must submit a valid Domicile or Residential Certificate issued by a BDO, SDO, or Municipal authority in West Bengal. Without it, you may be considered only under the All India quota, which has fewer seats.
Ques. Is a central OBC certificate or an OBC certificate from another state valid for WBJEE 2026?
Ans. No. WBJEE uses West Bengal’s state-specific OBC-A and OBC-B categories. A central OBC certificate or an OBC certificate issued by an authority outside West Bengal is not valid for reserved-category seats. Your certificate must specifically indicate WB State OBC-A or OBC-B.
Ques. Do I need to carry original documents during WBJEE 2026 online counselling registration?
Ans. No. Original documents are not required during the online registration and choice-filling stages. However, you must carry all original documents along with self-attested photocopies when you physically report to your allotted college for final admission.
Ques. What happens if my uploaded documents are rejected during WBJEE 2026 registration?
Ans. If a document upload is rejected, the portal typically provides a correction or re-upload window. Check the official WBJEE 2026 counselling schedule on wbjeeb.nic.in for correction dates and upload the document again in the correct format and size.
Ques. Do students from boards other than WBCHSE need a Migration Certificate for WBJEE 2026 counselling?
Ans. Yes. If you passed Class 12 from a board other than the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE), you must obtain a Migration Certificate from your board and submit it during the document upload stage or at the time of college reporting.
