Sorry, but as a PCB student, you are not eligible for WBJEE. You need to  PCM for WBJEE

Hello Aspirant,

pcb student cannot apply for btech via WBJEE because maths is mandatory. but you are eligible for b.pharma courses through WBJEE if they had Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in 12th.

So, pcb students can apply for pharmacy but not engineering through WBJEE.

WBJEE (West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination) is primarily meant for admission into engineering, architecture, and pharmacy programs in colleges across West Bengal. For engineering programs, the eligibility criteria clearly require candidates to have:

Passed 10+2 with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry/Biology/Computer Science/Biotechnology with Mathematics being compulsory .

Since PCB students typically do not study Mathematics in 12th, they won’t be eligible for B.Tech/B.E. programs via WBJEE. But here’s the good news.If you're a PCB student, you can still apply for other courses through WBJEE like:

B.Pharm (Bachelor of Pharmacy) – accepted with PCB in many colleges.

Paramedical and allied health sciences in some state colleges (based on separate exams or WBJEE score).

Some private universities also conduct their own entrance tests or offer admission via CUET/NEET for science-based non-engineering programs.
