Why Is WBJEE Almost Always Held in April–May?
WBJEE’s April–May window is determined by West Bengal’s academic calendar and the need to complete counselling and seat allotment before the new semester begins in August. Conducting the exam in late April or May gives WBJEEB roughly six to eight weeks to process results, declare ranks, and complete multiple rounds of counselling before the academic year opens. WBJEE 2026 shifted slightly to May 24 — about four weeks later than the 2023–2025 window — likely due to board exam schedule alignment. Historically, four of the five non-pandemic years (2022–2025) fell in the April 27–30 window.
WBJEE Previous Year Exam Dates (2021–2025)
The table below shows WBJEE exam dates for the five years preceding WBJEE 2026, in descending order.
| Year | Exam Date | Month | Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 27 April 2025 | April | Sunday |
| 2024 | 28 April 2024 | April | Sunday |
| 2023 | 30 April 2023 | April | Sunday |
| 2022 | 30 April 2022 | April | Saturday |
| 2021 | 17 July 2021 | July | Saturday |
The five-year trend confirms a strong April 27–30 window. The 2021 exam was the sole exception — deferred to July due to COVID-19 disruptions. WBJEE 2026’s shift to May 24 marks a departure from that April anchor, though it remains within the pre-semester window. Students can use this pattern to plan WBJEE 2027 preparation timelines.
Note: The complete WBJEE 2026 counselling schedule — including exact dates for choice filling, Round 1 seat allotment, Round 2 upgradation, and the mop-up round — has not yet been officially announced as of June 29, 2026. WBJEEB has confirmed counselling registration opens June 30, 2026. Students should monitor wbjeeb.nic.in for the detailed schedule.

Year-wise WBJEE Exam Dates and Trends
The table below compares WBJEE exam dates across six years (2021–2026) to identify scheduling patterns useful for planning ahead. Entries are in descending order — most recent year first.
| Year | Exam Date | Month | Day of Week | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 24 May 2026 | May | Sunday | Shifted ~4 weeks later than the 2023–2025 average |
| 2025 | 27 April 2025 | April | Sunday | Within the standard late-April window |
| 2024 | 28 April 2024 | April | Sunday | Within the standard late-April window |
| 2023 | 30 April 2023 | April | Sunday | Within the standard late-April window |
| 2022 | 30 April 2022 | April | Saturday | Post-pandemic return to normal schedule |
| 2021 | 17 July 2021 | July | Saturday | Delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic |
Excluding the 2021 COVID outlier, WBJEE has been held in the April 27 – May 24 range. Four consecutive years (2022–2025) clustered tightly around April 27–30, making that the statistical baseline. WBJEE 2026’s shift to May 24 represents a notable departure — whether this signals a new May window or was a one-year calendar adjustment will become clear when the WBJEE 2027 notification is released. For planning purposes, students targeting WBJEE 2027 should treat the late-April to mid-May window as the working assumption, with registration expected to open in December 2026 or January 2027.
Ques. Has WBJEE ever been postponed?
Ans. WBJEE 2021 was the only edition significantly delayed — held on July 17, 2021, roughly three months later than the usual April window, due to COVID-19 restrictions and academic calendar disruptions. WBJEE 2022 was also shifted from an initial April 23 date to April 30. In all other non-pandemic years, WBJEE maintained a consistent late-April schedule. Students should always check wbjeeb.nic.in for any date revisions.
Will WBJEE 2027 Be Held in April or May?
Based on six years of scheduling data, WBJEE 2027 is most likely to be held in late April or early May 2027. The April 27–30 window dominated four consecutive years (2022–2025). WBJEE 2026’s move to May 24 raises the question of whether WBJEEB is settling into a later May window or whether the 2026 shift was a one-cycle calendar alignment. Two scenarios are equally plausible for 2027:
- Scenario A (April return): WBJEE 2027 reverts to the April 27–30 window — consistent with 2022–2025. Registration would then need to open by January 2027 at the latest.
- Scenario B (May consolidation): WBJEEB normalises the May window. In this case, expect the exam in the third or fourth week of May 2027, with registration opening February–March 2027.
- Notification is the definitive signal: The WBJEE 2027 official notification on wbjeeb.nic.in will confirm the exam date. Students should monitor the site from November 2026.
- Mode will remain offline: WBJEE has always been conducted in pen-and-paper (OMR) mode; no change is expected for 2027.
- Paper structure unchanged: Two papers on the same day — Paper I (Mathematics) and Paper II (Physics and Chemistry) — is expected to continue.
Ques. When will WBJEE 2027 registration start?
Ans. WBJEE 2027 registration dates have not been announced yet. Based on the 2026 pattern — notification March 6, registration March 10 — and the broader historical window, registration for WBJEE 2027 is expected to begin around December 2026 or January 2027. The official notification will be published on wbjeeb.nic.in. Students should begin monitoring the site from October–November 2026.
