    WBCAP 2026 registration: key dates and scope

    The West Bengal State Council of Higher Education launched the West Bengal Centralised Admission Portal to provide a single-window gateway for UG admissions. The portal lists 7,042 courses across 459 government and government-aided colleges and 17 universities .

    Key dates students must note:

    • Registration start: May 19, 2026
    • Registration end: June 1, 2026
    • Seat allotment publication: June 9, 2026
    • Admission against allotment: June 9 to June 15, 2026

    How WBCAP 2026 registration works and what you must do

    You must create a WBCAP profile before selecting courses. Profile creation requires personal data and uploading prescribed documents and identification proofs. Ensure documents meet the portal's format and size rules; incomplete applications may not be processed.

    A preference list of institutions and courses is mandatory. The portal uses this list for merit-based seat allocation. Colleges will receive the WBCAP merit list and may run individual counselling using that list.

    Eligibility for UG admission requires passing 10+2 (Higher Secondary or equivalent). Prepare your educational certificates and valid ID before starting the form to avoid last-minute delays.

    What to expect after you apply

    The centralised merit list and seat allotment will be published on June 9, 2026 . If you are allotted a seat, you must complete admission formalities during the window from June 9 to June 15, 2026 . Colleges may call candidates for further verification or counselling based on the WBCAP merit list.

    Technical support and contact

    For technical help with registration or document upload contact the WBCAP helpline at 1800-102-8014 . Email support is available at support@wbcap.in , query@wbcap.in , and writeto@wbcap.in .

    The portal aims for transparent, merit-based allocation across state institutions. Students should finish profile creation and submit their preference list before June 1 to take part in the WBCAP admission cycle.
