WBJEE Answer Key 2026 Released at wbjeeb.nic.in; Raise Objections by May 29

The WBJEE 2026 provisional answer key is out, and the clock is already ticking. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board released the model answer keys on May 27, 2026, just three days after the exam was conducted on May 24. If you appeared for the state-level engineering and pharmacy entrance test, you can access your keys right now through the candidate portal at wbjeeb.nic.in.

Here's the thing that catches most students off guard every year. The objection window is extremely short. You have until May 29, 2026, at 11:50 PM to raise any challenge against the board's answers. That is essentially two days from the key release date. And unlike some other boards, WBJEEB does not accept objections by email or post. Everything must be done online, with supporting documents attached and a non-refundable fee of Rs. 500 paid per question challenged.

What's interesting about the WBJEE challenge process is the one-time submission rule. Once you hit submit, you cannot go back and add more disputed questions. So if you are planning to challenge multiple answers, you need to gather all your evidence first and submit everything together in one go. Here is everything you need to know about WBJEE Answer Key 2026.
