In WBJEE centralized counseling, your choice sheet is strictly processed sequentially from Option 1 downwards. If you are allotted Option 4 in Round 1, choices 5 and lower are permanently eliminated for subsequent rounds. Always order colleges by true preference rather than guessing cutoff ranks.

Understanding the TFW (Tuition Fee Waiver) Advantage
Up to 5% supernumerary seats are allocated in each branch under the AICTE TFW scheme where the 100% tuition fee is waived for West Bengal domiciled candidates whose annual family income is below ₹2.5 Lakhs. Always place verified TFW codes above general seats of the same institute.
