West Bengal joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEE 2018)

About WBJEE 2018:

 

The West Bengal joint Entrance Examinations Board was formed as West Bengal Board of Examinations for Admission to Engineering Degree Colleges in the year 1962, born out of a concept of holding a common admission test for the Engineering colleges of the State of West Bengal. The basic purpose was to select candidates for consideration for admission to the State Colleges on the basis of the results of a single competitive examination, which would also lead to saving of time, energy and expenditure on the part of the candidates in appearing at number of entrance tests.

 

West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board has completed its glorious journey through 52 years committed to the cause of professional education in the state. What started as a small endeavour to control the process of admission to four Engineering degree colleges has now developed in a huge establishment serving about 150 Institutions. As such, the Board now conducts examination for entry to the undergraduate course of Engineering and Medical degree colleges through its flagship examination WBJEEM. Further, we also conduct entrance examinations for many other professional courses covering a big horizon from Homeopathy to Hotel Management. As such, we conduct six such examinations and conduct admission counseling for most of them. Last year, a milestone was achieved by us with the kind cooperation of the Government of West Bengal in the form of promulgation of West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board Act and another is in the offing in the form of our new building. The most significant achievement by us so far has been the successful implementation of e-counseling and e-admission processes where we have showed the rest of India the way. Our leading role is now acclaimed by all and we are lauded for ensuring the most student friendly and transparent process in this respect. That way, we are keeping the flag high following the traditions of Nalanda and Bikramshila. But still there are lots to achieve and miles to go. Let us all work together to e ensure an even brighter future for WBJEEB. My regards and best wishes to all including my beloved students.
