Is the WBJEE 2025 merit list expected tomorrow?

As per the direction of the Calcutta High Court, WBJEEB is expected to prepare the WBJEE merit list 2025 by tomorrow, i.e., August 22, 2025. The new merit list will have to follow the 7% OBC reservation policy recognized by the West Bengal Backward Classes Department before 2010. However, there may be a possibility that the merit list may not be released tomorrow, as the reservation declaration facility is ending today, i.e., August 21, 2025. To prepare the reservation merit list, the authorities may need more time, so the merit list and WBJEE 2025 result declaration may be delayed until next week.

WBJEE 2025 Result Delay: Why was the WBJEEB merit list rejected?

On August 7, 2025, the Calcutta High Court quashed the merit list prepared by WBJEEB, terming it “flawed and unsustainable”. The Court believed that the WBJEE merit list prepared by the board was in clear violation of the Court’s order passed on May 21, 2025, i.e., providing reservation to OBC candidates as per the new policy. Therefore, the Court ordered the Board to prepare a fresh merit list as per the old policy within 15 days, i.e., by August 22, 2025.
