Such candidates may be considered for admission into Pharmacy courses only (except at Jadavpur University). Candidates appearing only in paper-I are not eligible for any rank.
The Pattern of Question Papers in WBJEE-2025: All questions will be Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ), with four options against each question. There will be three categories of questions in each subject. The number of questions, as well as the maximum marks for each, are given in the following table:
Subject | Category-1 Each Q carries 1 (One) mark (-ve marks = 1/4) | Category-2 Each Q carries 2 (two) marks (-ve marks = 1/2) | Category-3 Each Q carries 2 (two) marks (No -ve marks) | Total Number of Questions | Total Marks |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mathematics | No. of Q: 50 | No. of Q: 15 | No. of Q: 10 | 75 | 100 |
Physics | No. of Q: 30 | No. of Q: 5 | No. of Q: 5 | 40 | 50 |
Chemistry | No. of Q: 30 | No. of Q: 5 | No. of Q: 5 | 40 | 50 |
Mode of Answering in the Examination: Candidates must answer questions on a specially designed Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheet, which will be evaluated using OMR technology. It is crucial to follow the proper marking method. Responses must be marked by completely darkening the appropriate circle/bubble using a blue or black ink ballpoint pen, which will be provided at the examination center. Use of any other method—such as partially filled bubbles, use of pencil, tick marks, cross marks, dot marks, circular marks, overwriting, erasing, scratching, white ink, or marking outside the bubble—is strictly prohibited and may lead to incorrect or ambiguous evaluation.
Important: WBJEEB shall not be held responsible for errors arising from incorrect marking, and such errors may result in cancellation of the OMR sheet. Response markings cannot be edited, erased, or modified once marked.
Scoring Methodology: Category-1 Questions
Category-2 Questions
Category-3 Questions
Pharmacy Merit Rank (PMR):
a) The Pharmacy Merit Rank (PMR) will be prepared solely based on the marks obtained in Paper II, which includes Physics and Chemistry.
b) Candidates will be ranked in descending order of their scores in Paper II. In the event of a tie, the tie-breaking rules outlined in section 2.9.2 will be applied.
c) Separate merit ranks will be indicated for reserved categories such as SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, EWS, PwD, TFW, etc., wherever applicable.
d) Admission to all Pharmacy courses—except those offered by Jadavpur University—will be carried out based on the PMR.
e) The counseling, seat allotment, and admission processes will strictly follow the PMR sequence. Category ranks will be displayed on the rank card for informational purposes only and will not influence the order of seat allotment.
