WBJEE 2026 Round 2 Expected Closing Ranks for OBC-A Students
OBC-A is one of the two Other Backward Class sub-categories recognised in West Bengal, with a dedicated seat reservation quota across all WBJEE-participating colleges. In WBJEE 2025 Round 2, the OBC-A closing rank at Jadavpur University CSE was 1,046. Based on consistent year-on-year trends, a similar range is expected for WBJEE 2026 Round 2. The table below shows expected OBC-A closing ranks across top colleges and branches.
| College | Branch | Expected OBC-A Closing Rank — Round 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Jadavpur University | Computer Science and Engineering | 1,050–1,150 |
| Jadavpur University | Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering | 2,200–2,500 |
| Jadavpur University | Mechanical Engineering | 4,500–5,000 |
| University of Calcutta | Computer Science and Engineering | 1,700–2,000 |
| Kalyani Government Engineering College | Computer Science and Engineering | 2,700–3,200 |
| Heritage Institute of Technology | Computer Science and Engineering | 6,500–7,500 |
| MAKAUT-affiliated Colleges | Computer Science and Engineering | 5,500–7,000 |
All figures are expected closing ranks based on WBJEE 2025 Round 2 trends. Actual 2026 ranks may vary.
WBJEE 2026 Round 2 Expected Closing Ranks for OBC-B Students
OBC-B is the second sub-category of Other Backward Classes in West Bengal. Because the OBC-B reserved seat pool is smaller than OBC-A, OBC-B students typically compete for fewer seats and see tighter (lower in number) closing ranks at the same college and branch. In WBJEE 2025 Round 2, the OBC-B closing rank at Jadavpur University CSE was 784 — lower than the OBC-A closing rank of 1,046 at the same college. The expected 2026 OBC-B closing ranks for Round 2 are listed below.
| College | Branch | Expected OBC-B Closing Rank — Round 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Jadavpur University | Computer Science and Engineering | 780–870 |
| Jadavpur University | Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering | 1,700–1,950 |
| Jadavpur University | Mechanical Engineering | 3,400–3,800 |
| University of Calcutta | Computer Science and Engineering | 1,300–1,600 |
| Kalyani Government Engineering College | Computer Science and Engineering | 2,200–2,600 |
| Heritage Institute of Technology | Computer Science and Engineering | 5,500–6,500 |
| MAKAUT-affiliated Colleges | Computer Science and Engineering | 4,500–5,800 |
All figures are expected closing ranks based on WBJEE 2025 Round 2 trends. Actual 2026 ranks may vary.
WBJEE 2026 Round 2 Expected Closing Ranks for SC Students
Scheduled Caste students benefit from significant rank relaxation under the SC quota across all WBJEE-participating colleges. In WBJEE 2025 Round 2, the SC closing rank at Jadavpur University CSE was 2,198 — roughly 9 times higher than the general category closing rank at the same institution. This means SC students with ranks well beyond the general cutoff can still secure seats at premier colleges in Round 2. Expected SC closing ranks for 2026 are given below.
| College | Branch | Expected SC Closing Rank — Round 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Jadavpur University | Computer Science and Engineering | 2,200–2,500 |
| Jadavpur University | Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering | 5,000–5,800 |
| Jadavpur University | Mechanical Engineering | 10,000–12,000 |
| University of Calcutta | Computer Science and Engineering | 4,500–5,500 |
| Kalyani Government Engineering College | Computer Science and Engineering | 7,500–9,000 |
| Heritage Institute of Technology | Computer Science and Engineering | 22,000–27,000 |
| Techno India University | Computer Science and Engineering | 75,000–85,000 |
All figures are expected closing ranks based on WBJEE 2025 Round 2 trends. Actual 2026 ranks may vary.
Factors That Affect WBJEE 2026 Round 2 Closing Ranks
Several key variables determine whether Round 2 closing ranks tighten or relax compared to Round 1 for OBC-A, OBC-B and SC students:
- Seats vacated after Round 1: Students who decline their Round 1 allotment or upgrade to a better option return those seats to the pool, increasing Round 2 availability and often relaxing closing ranks.
- Reserved category participation in Round 2: A higher number of OBC-A, OBC-B or SC students actively filling choices in Round 2 increases competition within each quota and can push closing ranks tighter.
- Number of choices filled: Students who fill more college-branch combinations improve their chances of receiving an allotment at a preferred institution. Filling too few choices risks missing out even when seats are available.
- Supernumerary seat releases: Additional seats announced by the state government for reserved categories can meaningfully relax closing ranks at premier colleges like Jadavpur University.
- Branch demand patterns: CSE, AI and ML branches see the tightest competition across all categories in every round. Choosing less-saturated branches such as Civil or Chemical Engineering can significantly improve allotment chances.
WBJEE 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment FAQs

Ans. WBJEE 2026 Round 2 seat allotment results are expected to be released on July 21, 2026 at the official portal wbjeeb.nic.in. Choice filling for Round 2 is open until July 17, 2026.
Ques. What is the difference between OBC-A and OBC-B in WBJEE counselling?
Ans. OBC-A and OBC-B are two sub-categories of Other Backward Classes in West Bengal. Both have separate seat reservations in WBJEE counselling. OBC-B students see tighter closing ranks (lower rank numbers) than OBC-A at the same college and branch because OBC-B has a smaller reserved seat pool. In WBJEE 2025 Round 2, JU CSE OBC-B closed at 784 versus OBC-A at 1,046.
Ques. What was the SC closing rank at Jadavpur University CSE in WBJEE 2025 Round 2?
Ans. In WBJEE 2025 Round 2, the SC closing rank at Jadavpur University Computer Science and Engineering was 2,198. For WBJEE 2026 Round 2, an expected range of 2,200–2,500 is projected based on the same year-on-year trend.
Ques. Can OBC-A students with a rank above 1,150 still get a seat in Round 2?
Ans. Yes. OBC-A students with ranks above 1,150 can secure seats at other WBJEE-participating colleges in Round 2. Government colleges like Kalyani Government Engineering College have expected OBC-A closing ranks of 2,700–3,200 for CSE, and private colleges extend this range further to 5,500–7,500.
Ques. What should students do after receiving WBJEE 2026 Round 2 allotment?
Ans. After the Round 2 allotment, you must pay the seat acceptance fee online and complete document verification at the allotted college within the deadline published on wbjeeb.nic.in. Failure to report on time will cancel your allotment automatically.
Ques. Are Round 2 closing ranks better or worse than Round 1 for reserved categories?
Ans. Round 2 closing ranks are generally slightly more relaxed than Round 1 for reserved categories like OBC-A, OBC-B and SC. Seats freed from Round 1 refusals and upgrades are added back to the pool, improving allotment chances for students with slightly weaker ranks. The difference at top colleges is typically 100–400 ranks.
