Table of Content |
The West Bengal Joint Engineering Entrance Exam (WBJEEE) exam was conducted as a screening test for undergraduate level engineering courses offered by the universities, govt. colleges and private institutes in the State of West Bengal (except the IITs and NITs). The scope of courses you can target through the exam are set to widen from this year.
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam 2018 will be conducted to screen students for undergraduate engineering & technology courses as well as pharmacy, architecture, medical and dental courses. Hence, it will be known as "WBJEEM", which is short for the West Bengal Joint Exam for Engineering & Medicine.
Subjects you should opt for in WBJEE 2018
Students have to appear for different sets of subjects for WBJEE exam, depending on the streams they choose.
Stream-wise subjects candidates should take:

|
C ** |
All the streams - Engineering, Technology, Architecture, Medical, Dental & Pharmacy * |
Maths, Biology, Physics, Chemistry |
-
For Pharmacy course in Jadavpur University, students should have appeared for Physics, Chemistry and Maths. Hence, only E or C type candidates will be able to apply for it. For Pharnacy courses in other colleges, students from both Mathematics and Biology streams are eligible. Hence, all E, M and C type candidates can apply for them.
