WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 Phase 1: Round 2

WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 has moved into its Round 2 stage under Phase 1. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has structured this round for candidates seeking admission or an upgrade against vacant Engineering, Technology, Architecture, and Pharmacy seats through the Decentralised Counselling Admission Portal (DCAP).
Here is a complete breakdown of the WBJEE 2026 DCAP Phase 1 Round 2 seat allocation schedule, fee details, and everything candidates need to know about this stage.

The WBJEE 2026 Decentralised Counselling Phase 1 Round 2 seat allocation result was released on September 14, 2026. You can check the result on the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board official portal.Candidates should check the portal directly for the most current status, since counselling timelines can shift based on technical or administrative factors.
This round follows directly from Phase 1 Round 1, which saw its own allocation list, fee payment window, and institute-level reporting process completed in the days prior.

WBJEE 2026 DCAP Phase 1 Round 2 list is live, candidates can follow these steps to check their allocation status:
• Visit the official website at wbjeeb.co.in
• Log in using your DCAP registration credentials
• Navigate to the Round 2 New Allocation List section
• Check your allotted institution and programme, if any
• If allotted, proceed to pay the Seat Acceptance Fee before the deadline
• Download and save your Provisional Admission Receipt
• Prepare for institute-level physical reporting and document verification
Since the fee payment window for this round is fairly short, candidates should check their status as soon as the list is published rather than waiting.

WBJEE 2026 DCAP Phase 1 Round 2 seat allocation result has been released, and candidates who have been allotted a seat in this round must complete the admission formalities within the prescribed deadline. As per the schedule, candidates have until 11:59 PM on September 14, 2026, to pay the Seat Acceptance Fee and generate their Provisional Admission Receipt.

The Provisional Admission Receipt is an important document required for institute-level verification. Candidates should download and save the receipt immediately after making the successful payment and keep it ready for the next stage of the admission process.

Round 2 under this cycle of WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 serves two groups of candidates. It considers candidates who registered but were not allotted a seat in Round 1, and it also allows previously allotted candidates to move to a different confirmed option if they had a frozen choice that was not offered to them in Round 1.
As per the official DCAP notification, a combination already offered to a candidate through the Allocation or Selection List becomes unavailable to that candidate for the remainder of DCAP 2026 once selected. This means candidates should treat each round's allocation as a meaningful decision point rather than something to revisit casually later.
It is also worth noting that a seat released because an admitted candidate successfully moved to another confirmed CAP or DCAP seat is carried forward according to the board's specified process, rather than being immediately reallocated within the same round.

This round follows a fairly eventful start to the WBJEE 2026 Decentralised Counselling cycle. Registration for Phase 1 was originally scheduled to close on September 8, but WBJEEB extended the deadline to September 9, at 6 PM, after numerous candidates reported technical difficulties, including issues receiving One-Time Passwords and submitting their preferred choices.
As per the official seat matrix released for this cycle, 33,857 BTech seats and 2,634 BPharm seats are available for admission through decentralised counselling this year. Popular institutions, including Jadavpur University and Calcutta University, have reportedly shown a higher number of vacant seats compared to the previous year's cycle.

Candidates participating in this cycle of WBJEE Decentralised Counselling 2026 should keep the fee structure in mind at every stage. The one-time, non-refundable registration fee is Rs 250, paid during the initial registration window.
Separately, the Seat Acceptance Fee, applicable once a candidate selects and locks an allotted option, has been specified at Rs 2,000 as per the official notification. This fee is distinct from the institute's own admission fee, tuition fee, and security deposit, all of which candidates should budget for separately once they proceed to physical reporting.

Following fee payment and confirmation for Round 2, candidates need to complete physical document verification and admission or withdrawal confirmation at their allotted institute within the timeline specified by WBJEEB. Given how this cycle has already seen one schedule revision, candidates should confirm the exact reporting dates directly on the official portal rather than relying on the originally announced timeline.
Candidates not allotted a seat even in Round 2, or those still holding a frozen choice not yet offered, may remain eligible for consideration in subsequent phases of decentralised counselling, depending on how WBJEEB structures the remainder of this cycle.
