WBJEE 2025 result date deferred again

Students anxious over WBJEE 2025 result delay

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) 2025 result has been delayed again. This decision follows a fresh order from the Calcutta High Court, halting its release. The court acted in response to a contempt plea related to the OBC reservation list.

Students who expected their results today must wait longer. The latest delay adds to weeks of confusion and legal twists.

Why Were the Results Postponed?

The issue began with a court ruling earlier this year. The Calcutta High Court found the state’s OBC reservation list unconstitutional. It ordered the government to stop using that list in admissions.

The West Bengal government challenged the ruling. In July, the Supreme Court gave temporary relief. It allowed the use of the same list for the WBJEE 2025 admission process.

But just when things seemed clear, another legal complication arose. A contempt petition accused the state of violating the High Court’s earlier order. On August 6, the High Court responded. It stopped the WBJEEB from releasing the results until further notice.

High Court vs Supreme Court: What’s Going On?

Legal experts say this is a complex case. Normally, a Supreme Court order takes precedence. But when a High Court examines possible contempt, it can act independently.

This tug-of-war between courts has left the students confused. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) now waits for legal clarity before releasing the results.

A division bench of the Calcutta High Court is set to review the matter today. The hearing could provide a final direction.

Over 1.2 Lakh Students Affected

More than 1.2 lakh students appeared for WBJEE 2025. Many had planned their next steps based on the result release date. The delay has disrupted their schedules.

Students shared their frustration online. Hashtags like #ReleaseWBJEEResults and #JusticeForWBJEEAspirants trended on X (formerly Twitter).

“This is unfair. We studied hard and cleared the exam. Now our future is on hold,” said Riya Das, a student from Kolkata.

Parents are equally concerned. They urge the government and judiciary to settle the matter quickly.

What Has the Board Said?

The WBJEEB hasn’t made a formal statement. However, sources say the results are ready for publication. But the board cannot act without a clear court directive.

Officials are monitoring the legal developments closely. Depending on the court’s decision today, they may announce a new result date soon.

How This Affects Admissions

The delay might affect engineering college counselling across West Bengal. It may also clash with the admission schedules of national exams like JEE Main and JEE Advanced.

Many students are now worried about seat availability and eligibility conflicts. A few might consider switching to other universities or entrance options if the delay continues.

What Students Should Do Now

While waiting for updates, here are a few steps students can take:

  • Visit the official website (wbjeeb.nic.in) regularly for official news.
  • Avoid rumours on social media. Stick to trusted education news sites.
  • Prepare for counselling, so you’re ready once the results are declared.

Final Thoughts

The WBJEE 2025 result delay is more than just a date change. It’s a sign of how legal and political issues can affect students directly. While the courts have a duty to uphold justice, prolonged disputes should not impact young futures.

Today’s hearing may finally bring clarity. Until then, students must stay patient and informed. The hope is that results will be released soon, with minimal further delay.
