1. Visit the official WBJEEB JEPBN website.
2. Open the JEPBN 2026 counselling section.
3. Access the ORCR JEPBN Counselling 2026 link.

What Is an Opening Rank and Closing Rank?

The opening rank is the first or highest-priority rank recorded for a particular institute, category and seat combination in the relevant counselling round. The closing rank is the last rank recorded for that particular combination in that round. For example, if an institute shows an Open-category range of 422 to 580, those are the opening and closing ranks reported for that institute and category in Round 3. Candidates should compare their JEPBN GMR with the relevant category and institute entry. The Round 3 OR-CR report is a record of the ranks at which seats were allotted; it should not be treated as a guaranteed admission predictor for a different counselling cycle.

Who Is Eligible for JEPBN Counselling?

According to the JEPBN 2026 counselling notification, candidates must satisfy the prescribed eligibility criteria and have a valid General Merit Rank (GMR) in JEPBN 2026 to register for e-counselling. Detailed course, domicile and reservation requirements are governed by the JEPBN 2026 Information Bulletin. For reserved categories, WBJEEB states that reservation is subject to the applicable West Bengal rules. OBC candidates claiming reserved status must produce a valid Non-Creamy Layer certificate.

What Happens After Round 3 Allotment?

Round 3 is the final round of the online centralised JEPBN counselling process. Candidates who receive an allotment must complete the applicable seat acceptance, reporting, physical document verification and admission formalities within the notified schedule. The revised schedule states that Round 3 reporting and admission formalities must be completed by 12 noon on September 30, 2026. Institute-specific reporting timings should be confirmed directly with the allotted college. A fresh allotee receiving a seat for the first time in a counselling round must pay a ₹1,000 Seat Acceptance Fee through the prescribed online payment mode and download the allotment letter.
