In wbjee during registration i have filled obc A but i belong to obc B and i have its certificate too, will they consider my obc B category or my reservation will be cancelled?
There might be a chance to rectify your OBC category mistake during WBJEE, but it's difficult to say for certain without referring to the official WBJEE information.
Carefully review the WBJEE information bulletin, particularly the section on application form corrections or discrepancies. This document outlines the official procedures for handling mistakes in applications. You can find it on the WBJEE website.
The WBJEE helpline is likely the best way to get a definitive answer. They can clarify if there is a window for rectifying category mistakes and the process involved. You can find the helpline number on the WBJEE website.

Hope this information helps you.
I have got 63% in CBSE 12TH 2023, and my pcm is less than 60% aggregate. will I get chance in jadavpur university btech with a good wbjee rank?
Hi,
Securing admission to Jadavpur University for B.Tech programs involves meeting both academic and entrance exam criteria. While a good WBJEE rank is essential for admission, academic qualifications, such as your Class 12 percentage and PCM aggregate, also play a significant role.
Given your Class 12 percentage of 63% and PCM aggregate of less than 60%, it may pose a challenge for admission to Jadavpur University's B.Tech programs, as the university typically has stringent academic eligibility criteria.
However, admission criteria can vary, and Jadavpur University may consider candidates with exceptional WBJEE ranks despite slightly lower academic scores. Additionally, certain reserved categories may have relaxation in academic criteria.
To assess your chances accurately, consider the following steps:
Review Previous Year's Cutoffs : Analyze the previous year's cutoff ranks for your desired B.Tech programs at Jadavpur University. This will give you an idea of the rank range required for admission.
Check Academic Eligibility Criteria : Review the academic eligibility criteria specified by Jadavpur University for B.Tech admissions. Determine if there are any relaxations for candidates with exceptional entrance exam ranks.
Prepare Well for WBJEE : Focus on achieving a high WBJEE rank by thoroughly preparing for the exam. A strong performance in WBJEE can compensate for relatively lower academic scores.
Consider Alternative Options : Explore alternative engineering colleges and universities that offer B.Tech programs and have more flexible admission criteria. Keep an eye on colleges where your academic qualifications align better with their eligibility criteria.
In summary, while your academic scores may present a challenge for admission to Jadavpur University's B.Tech programs, a strong WBJEE rank can significantly enhance your chances. Research thoroughly, prepare diligently for the entrance exam, and consider alternative options to maximize your opportunities for admission.
