The WBJEE 2020 exams were conducted on February 2, 2020, and it was due to the Coronavirus outbreak that the results have been delayed.
Meanwhile, the counselling dates for WBJEE 2020 candidates are likely to be announced in the upcoming week with as many as 116 institutes being a part of the process.

Since everything will be online, the students will not be asked for any counselling fee and the documents will be verified by virtual reporting centres.
As far as the numbers are concerned, 73119 candidates wrote the WBJEE 2020 exams this year and out of them, over 71% fo the rank holders belong to West Bengal, 31% are from CBSE while only 3% belong to the ISC board.
