WBJEE 2026 Round 2 seat allotment result is expected on July 21, 2026, with Jadavpur University CSE projected to close around 250–280 for the General category based on 2025 Round 2 trends.
WBJEE 2026 Round 2 counselling registration ran from July 13 to 17, 2026. Round 2 fills seats left vacant after Round 1 — either because students did not report for admission or received an upgrade to a preferred branch. Based on 2025 data, closing ranks at Jadavpur University remain highly competitive across both rounds, while government colleges like Kalyani Government Engineering College see slightly more movement in Round 2.

| RCC Institute of Information Technology | Computer Science and Engineering | ~49,397 | 48,000–52,000 |
KGEC CSE is the most competitive branch among government colleges after Jadavpur University, with a 2025 Round 2 closing rank near 2,093. Students with ranks between 2,000 and 4,200 have strong options across KGEC branches in Round 2.
Private Colleges WBJEE 2026 Expected Round 2 Closing Ranks
Private engineering colleges participating in WBJEE counselling generally have more relaxed closing ranks, making them accessible to students with ranks beyond 5,000. The table below gives expected Round 2 closing ranks for private colleges in 2026.
| College | Branch | Round 2 Closing Rank 2025 (General) | Expected Round 2 Closing Rank 2026 (General) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT), Kolkata | Computer Science and Engineering | ~5,906 | 6,000–6,500 |

| Techno India University, Kolkata | Computer Science and Engineering | ~18,000–22,000 (est.) | 18,000–23,000 |
Students with WBJEE ranks between 6,000 and 23,000 can target CSE seats at reputed private colleges. Round 2 and the Mop-Up Round together fill most remaining private college vacancies. Students who do not secure a seat in Round 2 should participate in the Mop-Up Round on July 24–26, 2026, where closing ranks tend to be the most relaxed of all rounds.

Factors Affecting WBJEE 2026 Round 2 Closing Ranks
Several factors shape how closing ranks shift from Round 1 to Round 2 in WBJEE counselling:
- Vacancies from Round 1 non-reporting: Students who received a Round 1 seat but did not report for admission create fresh vacancies. More no-shows means more seats and marginally relaxed Round 2 closing ranks.
- Upgrade requests: When Round 1 allottees accept an upgrade to a higher-preference college, their original seat opens up. This is why popular government college branches like KGEC CSE can see slight rank relaxation between rounds.
- Overall WBJEE 2026 rank pool: If overall exam participation increases, closing ranks at mid-tier colleges may tighten as more students compete for the same seats.
- New seats or branch approvals: Any additional seats approved between rounds can relax cutoffs for specific branches.
- Category-wise seat utilisation in Round 1: Partially filled reserved-category seats carry over to Round 2, leading to relatively relaxed cutoffs under those categories.
