UG admission depends primarily on WBJEE:Focus your preparation on Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (PCM) at 10+2 level. Clear your fundamentals and practice heavily. Solve previous years’ WBJEE papers and mock tests to familiarize yourself with question pattern, time pressure and the kind of problems asked. Make sure you perform well in 10+2 board exams (especially in the relevant subjects) because eligibility and merit often depend on both board scores and entrance rank. Work on time management and accuracy — entrance exams are competitive and minor mistakes cost. After you get a good rank, focus on the choice-filling strategy for counselling: check branch wise cut-offs
