WBJEE 2026 Round 2 Counselling: Step-by-Step Choice Filling Instructions
Step 1: Visit wbjeeb.nic.in and sign in using your WBJEE 2026 Roll Number and Password (or JEE Main credentials if registering via JEE quota).
Step 2: Before adding choices, check the 2026 Seat Matrix link on the portal to filter vacant seats by college type (Government vs. Private) and specific engineering/pharmacy branches.
Step 3: Search and select your desired institute-course combinations. Use the filters to quickly narrow down options. There is no upper limit on the number of choices you can add—it is highly recommended to fill at least 15 to 20 options to avoid going unallotted.
Step 4: Use the Up and Down arrows on the screen to rearrange your list. Your absolute dream choices must be placed at the top (Option 1, 2, 3), followed by realistic targets, and safe options at the bottom.
Step 5: If you are eligible for the Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) scheme, you will see separate entries for TFW and Non-TFW seats for each branch. If you are willing to accept both, add both options separately to your list.
Step 6: Click on "Save & Continue" regularly so you don't lose progress. Once you are entirely satisfied with your sequence, click "Lock Choices".
Round 2 choice filling: The "Dream-Target-Safe" Strategy
To optimize your allotment outcome, arrange your locked choices using the Rule of Three Tiers:
Tier | Priority Order | Description |
|---|---|---|
1. Dream Colleges | Top 20% of your list | Premium government colleges or elite branches (e.g., Jadavpur University CSE) that are slightly above your expected rank. Never fear rejection here; if you don't qualify, the system simply moves down. |
2. Target Colleges | Middle 50% of your list | Core options where your rank matches previous years' closing ranks. This is where your realistic allotment is most likely to land. |
3. Safe Colleges | Bottom 30% of your list | Reputable backup colleges where you are guaranteed a seat even if cutoffs fluctuate wildly. This prevents you from ending the round with zero allotments. |
Important Warning on Inactive Saving: Leaving your dashboard idle for too long while compiling your list can cause the system to time out, wiping out unsaved choices. Always click the Save button after adding every 3–4 choices. If you forget to lock your choices manually before tonight's deadline, the system will automatically lock your last saved sequence.
