The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) 2026 was conducted peacefully across 267 centres on Sunday, with no reports of malpractice, according to the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB). Over 1.20 lakh candidates registered, with centres including two in Tripura and one in Assam. However, many candidates found the mathematics paper lengthy and time-consuming within the two-hour window. Some said calculations took longer than expected, and one examinee felt the maths section was tougher than this year's JEE Main. The board had heightened security, including frisking and carbonless OMR sheets.
