WBJEEB publishes OMR & response sheets for JELET 2025 — objection window now open

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has released the OMR and recorded response sheets for the JELET 2025 lateral entry examination. This is a critical stage for candidates to verify their answers before the final results. Aspirants must log in to wbjeeb.nic.in immediately, download their sheets, and submit any challenges with a ₹500 non-refundable fee per objection. Immediate action is required to ensure accuracy in the final JELET 2025 rank list.

For candidates who appeared in the Joint Entrance Examination for Lateral Entry (JELET 2025) on October 18, 2025, the admission process has entered a pivotal stage. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has upheld its commitment to transparency by releasing the scanned OMR images and individual recorded responses on the official website. This proactive release allows every aspirant to cross-check their performance against the official answer key and verify that their marked responses were accurately recorded and scanned by the board.

​This window, however, is not just for viewing; it is the last chance for candidates to formally challenge any perceived discrepancies in their recorded responses or the evaluation process. Any candidate who believes an error exists in the scanning of their OMR sheet or the recorded answer against a specific question must follow the online challenge procedure. This process requires diligence and the mandatory payment of a non-refundable fee of ₹500 for each objection raised, underscoring the seriousness of each challenge. Candidates must prioritize this task immediately as the final result, and subsequent counselling, will be based on the reviewed and finalized data.

​ OMR Sheet Access and The Objection Submission Mechanism

​The entire process of checking recorded responses and submitting challenges is centralized and fully digital, managed through the official WBJEEB portal.

• ​Step-by-Step Access to OMR Sheets:
  • ​Official Portal: Candidates must navigate to the dedicated JELET section on the WBJEEB website: wbjeeb.nic.in.
  • ​Login Credentials: Click on the link "OMR, Recorded Response - View & Challenge for JELET-2025." Aspirants need to log in using their Application Number and Password/Date of Birth (as used during registration).
  • ​Download and Review: Once logged in, candidates can view and download the PDF containing their individual scanned OMR sheet and the board's recorded responses. This should be compared diligently against the previously released provisional answer key to calculate a probable score.
• ​Filing the Formal Objection:
  • ​If a candidate finds a difference between their actual response marked on the OMR sheet and the response recorded by the system, they can raise an objection through the same portal.
  • ​Upload and Justify: The objection must clearly state the discrepancy and, if necessary, be supported by uploaded evidence (though primarily the challenge is for the recorded response).
  • ​Mandatory Fee: A non-refundable fee of ₹500 per question challenged must be paid online via debit card, credit card, or net banking. No objections will be considered without successful payment. Candidates must complete the submission and payment in a single session.

 Post-Challenge Strategy: Estimating Rank and Preparing for Counselling

​Once the objection window closes, the board will evaluate all challenges and proceed with the crucial next steps: releasing the final answer key and the result. Aspirants must now focus on the upcoming counselling phase.

• ​Result and Rank Card Release (Expected Soon): 
  • ​Following the review of objections, the WBJEEB will release the Final Answer Key. The JELET 2025 result and rank card are tentatively expected to be announced in mid-to-late November 2025.
  • ​The rank card is the most crucial document, containing the candidate’s merit rank which determines eligibility for the counselling process.
• ​Predicting Your Admission Chances:
  • ​Candidates can use the finalized score (after adjusting for any successful challenges) and compare it with the previous years' JELET cut-off ranks for various disciplines (like CSE, ECE, EE) at government colleges (like Jadavpur University, which has high cut-offs) and top private engineering institutions in West Bengal.
  • ​This rank prediction is vital for informed decision-making during the subsequent choice filling process.
• ​Preparing for Counselling (Expected Late November/Early December 2025): 
  • ​Qualified candidates will participate in the web-based e-counselling process for admission to the 2nd year (3rd semester) of B.Tech/B.Pharm programs.
  • ​Key Documents Checklist: Aspirants must start gathering and verifying all necessary documents, including the JELET Rank Card, 10th and Diploma/B.Sc. mark sheets, Category/Domicile Certificates (if applicable), and valid photo ID proofs, as these will be required for registration and physical verification.

​ The Importance of JELET: Lateral Entry Engineering Opportunities

​JELET serves as the premier gateway for diploma and B.Sc. degree holders to join the second year of B.Tech/B.Pharm programs in West Bengal's leading technical institutions.

• ​High-Demand Lateral Entry Streams:
  • ​Admission is highly competitive for in-demand specializations, particularly Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) and Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), which offer direct entry into industry-relevant curricula.
  • ​Securing a seat, especially in top government colleges, provides a significant career boost to diploma holders.
• ​Focus on Government Colleges:
  • ​The cut-offs for institutions like Jadavpur University remain exceptionally stringent for lateral entry, often requiring a rank in the top few hundred. This underscores the intense competition and the high value placed on the lateral entry qualification.
  • ​The subsequent counselling process will determine the final allocation of seats across State Universities, Government Colleges, and Self-Financing Institutions.

​Conclusion

​The release of the JELET 2025 OMR and recorded responses initiates the final verification phase of the examination. Successful verification paves the way for the timely release of the rank list and the commencement of the counselling process, which is the final step toward securing a coveted lateral entry B.Tech seat in West Bengal.
