WBJEE Result 2025 Postponed Again: New Date Awaited Amid Legal Hurdles

The WBJEE result 2025 postponement is understandably frustrating for candidates, but it's essential to remember that legal processes must be followed. Students are encouraged to remain calm, follow official updates, and be prepared for the next steps once the results are released.

WBJEE Result 2025 Postponed: What You Need to Know

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) result 2025 has been officially postponed, adding to the growing concerns among students and parents. Initially set to be declared on August 7, the results are now delayed again, and the new date is currently awaited from the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board ( WBJEEB ).

Key Legal Events Leading to the Delay:

• The Calcutta High Court initiated a contempt case based on complaints from candidates of WBJEE and JEMAS-PG.

The case references a previous court order from May 21, 2025, which may have been violated.

What Did the WBJEEB Chairperson Say?

WBJEEB Chairperson Sonali Chakraborty Banerjee had earlier confirmed that the result would be declared on August 7. In a statement to PTI, she explained:

“From July 31, candidates are required to upload their caste certificate details on the WBJEE portal by August 2. The board will update all candidate information before publishing the results.”

However, due to the legal intervention, this plan has been put on hold.

OBC Reservation and Court Dispute

A large part of the delay has stemmed from disputes related to the revised list of OBC categories issued by the West Bengal government. Initially, the High Court had halted its implementation, which was later stayed by the Supreme Court, temporarily allowing the board to proceed.

However, the new contempt case raises further questions, slowing the process once again.

What Should Candidates Do Now?

While students wait anxiously for the results, here’s what they can do in the meantime:

• Regularly check the official website: wbjeeb.nic.in
  
  
• Ensure all documents are ready for counselling once the result is declared.
  
  
• Avoid rumors and rely only on official updates from WBJEEB or verified news sources.
