WBJEE 2025 Cutoff

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination Board (WBJEEB) released the WBJEE cutoff after the WBJEE result 2025 was declared.

The WBJEE cutoff is the minimum marks or rank required for admission into engineering colleges in West Bengal. The cutoff varies across categories, branches, and colleges.

Expected Cutoff by Category

• General: 120–130 marks or more for top colleges like Jadavpur University (JU). For competitive branches like Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), the rank range is around 1–120.
• OBC-A/B: Around 110–120 marks. The expected rank range is 150–250.
• SC and ST: 60–80 marks. The rank range is around 4,000–11,000 for core branches at JU, government, or private institutes.

Key Cutoff Details

In WBJEE 2024, the total marks were 199/200, and the topper had a 99.99 percentile. Jadavpur University's closing rank for CSE was 123 (General), and the closing rank for ECE and IT was 600.

The WBJEE cutoff depends on several factors, including institute, course, category, and quota.

Institute-wise Closing Ranks

• Jadavpur University (CSE – up to Rank 600)
• IEM Kolkata (CSE – up to Rank 5000)
• Heritage Institute (CSE – up to Rank 7500)
• MAKAUT, Techno India, Narula Institute, and more

Course-wise Cutoffs

BTech CSE has the highest demand, followed by ECE, IT, EE, ME, CE, and AEIE. CSE cutoffs are usually 5x more competitive than CE or ME.

Category-wise Cutoffs

• General (CSE at JU closes at ~600)
• SC (closes ~5000)
• ST (~12,000)
• OBC-A/B (~3000–4000)
