Hello Renuka,

Indeed, for your JoSAA counselling, you may select Bengali as your subject preference instead of English, as long as Bengali is listed as one of the acceptable subjects by the particular institution or program applying to. Subject eligibility varies by institution and course so it is important be clear about the JoSAA Business Rules or check the eligibility of individual institutions (like IITs, NITs, IIITs) for the specific subject eligible requirements.
