The much-awaited WBJEE 2025 result has been delayed, causing anxiety among over one lakh candidates who appeared for the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination held on April 27, 2025. Originally expected in June 2025, the result announcement has now been postponed, with new updates suggesting a release after July 31, 2025. This blog covers the reasons behind the delay, the current status, and what candidates should keep in mind during this waiting period.
Why Is the WBJEE 2025 Result Delayed?
The primary reason for the delay is an interim stay order by the Calcutta High Court on the revised OBC reservation list. This legal stay will remain in effect until July 31, 2025, preventing the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) from finalizing and releasing the results. The stay impacts the reservation policy, which is a crucial factor in preparing the merit list and rank cards.
What Has Happened So Far?
- The WBJEE 2025 exam was successfully conducted on April 27, 2025 in offline mode.
- The provisional answer key and candidate response sheets were released in early May, and candidates were allowed to submit objections until May 11, 2025.
- After considering valid objections, the board prepared the final answer key, which is used to calculate scores.
- However, due to the ongoing legal stay on the OBC list, the board cannot proceed with result declaration.
New Expected Timeline for WBJEE 2025 Result
- The Calcutta High Court stay is in place until July 31, 2025.
- The WBJEE result is now expected to be declared after July 31, 2025, once the court lifts the stay or provides further directions.
- Following the result declaration, the counselling process will begin, likely in August 2025.
