WBJEEB · WBJEE 2026 information bulletin, sections 2.1–2.7 · Source year 2026 · Last reviewed 2026-09-28

Paper I · Mathematics

OMR paper from 11:00 to 13:00. Categories I/II/III contain 50/15/10 questions respectively. Both papers are required for an engineering General Merit Rank.

Section	Questions	Marks	Minutes	Paper language
Mathematics · Category I	50	50	—	Not specified on linked page
Mathematics · Category II	15	30	—	Not specified on linked page
Mathematics · Category III	10	20	—	Not specified on linked page
Total	75	100	120	—

Paper II · Physics and Chemistry

OMR paper from 14:00 to 16:00. Physics and Chemistry each contribute 40 questions and 50 marks. Paper II alone can yield only a Pharmacy Merit Rank, subject to course restrictions.

Section	Questions	Marks	Minutes	Paper language
Physics · Category I	30	30	—	Not specified on linked page
Physics · Category II	5	10	—	Not specified on linked page
Physics · Category III	5	10	—	Not specified on linked page

Key rules and selection stages

Category I: +1 correct, −0.25 wrong. Category II: +2 correct, −0.5 wrong. Category III: +2 for all correct choices, partial credit for only correct choices selected, zero if any wrong option is selected; no negative marks. Blank answers score zero.
Both papers yield General Merit Rank (GMR) and Pharmacy Merit Rank (PMR); Paper II alone can yield PMR; Paper I alone yields no rank. Admission depends on counselling and institute rules, not merely obtaining a rank.

WBJEE 2026 rank and counselling context

WBJEEB · WBJEE 2026 exam and counselling updates · Exam cycle 2026 · Checked 2026-09-28

The bulletin distinguishes the engineering General Merit Rank from the Pharmacy Merit Rank. A rank does not guarantee admission. College, course, category and counselling-round results must be checked in the WBJEEB 2026 seat-allotment updates; a universal marks cut-off is not provided by this source.
