1.0 Introduction:
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) was
established in 1962 by Government of West Bengal in exercise of the powers
conferred under article 162 of the Constitution of India in pursuant to No.
828-Edn(T), dated 02.03.1962. Subsequently, the Board was recognised as a
Statutory Body vide West Bengal Act XIV of 2014 and was authorised for
conducting the Joint Entrance Examination in respect to admission to
various institutions in West Bengal imparting education in Medical,
Engineering and Technological courses.
The Board has been empowered to conduct Common Entrance
Examinations for admission to Undergraduate and Postgraduate
Professional and Vocational Courses both in the Undergraduate and Post
graduate level. As such, it always endeavours to advocate transparency and
implement effective state-of-the-art technology in conducting such
examinations. WBJEEB has been instrumental in conducting the admission
process through online application and allotment through e-Counselling
since 2012.
2.0 PUBDET-2019
2.1 For the academic session of 2019-20, the Board is going to conduct the
Common Entrance Examination (PUBDET-2019) for admission to
Undergraduate Courses in three-year B.A./B.Sc. (Honours) courses in the
Presidency University.
Any candidate can apply for maximum 2 (two) papers from the following
table.
Science Humanities & Social Science
Chemistry Bengali
Economics English
Geography Hindi
Geology History
Life Sciences Philosophy/ Sociology/ Performing Arts *
Mathematics Political Science
Physics
Statistics
2.2 Syllabus of Examination: The tests will be based on the 11th and 12th
standard syllabi of various recognised boards/councils. Subject/paper wise
syllabus is given below.
* Where a paper contains more than one topic, the distribution of full marks is
given within parenthesis.
PUBDET-2019 Information Bulletin Page: 8/32
No further examination shall be held under any circumstances for those who
will be unable to appear on the above date and time of PUBDET-2019
examination
2.4 Pattern of Question Papers.
In every subject, all questions will be of Multiple Choice Questions
(MCQ) type, with four options against each of the questions. There will 50
(fifty) questions in each paper with full marks 100 and time allotted will be
90 minutes.
2.5 Mode of answering in the examination
a) Questions are to be answered on specially designed optical machine-
readable response (OMR) sheet, which will be evaluated by Optical
Mark Recognition method. Thus, it is very important to follow the
correct method of marking.
b) There will be four alternative answers for each question. Candidates
will indicate response to the questions by darkening the appropriate
circle completely with blue/black ball point pen.
c) Any other kind of marking e.g. filling the bubble incompletely, filling
with pencil, cross mark, tick mark, dot mark, circular mark, over writing,
scratching, erasing, white ink, marking outside the bubble etc. may lead
to wrong/partial/ambiguous reading of the response. WBJEEB will be,
in no way, responsible for such eventuality.
d) Response marking cannot be edited/changed/erased/modified. Hence it
is advised that the candidate should be sure about the answer before
marking and should not put any stray mark on which he/she does not
want to attempt.
2.6 Scoring Methodology
a) All questions will have four answer options
PUBDET-2019 Information Bulletin Page: 9/32
WBJEEB will prepare merit ranks based on the candidates’ score in the
entrance tests. Individual candidates will be able to view and download
his/her Rank Card, which will contain score and rank. WBJEEB does not
publish any general ranks/score list.
a) The rank shall be in the name and style of ‘GMR’ (General Merit
Rank)
b) Ranking shall be done in the descending order of marks scored in the
entrance test.
c) However, there may be ties and the tie-breaking rule given in section
2.8 below shall be applicable for determining the merit rank.
d) Separate reserved category merit position will also be indicated for
respective category of students e.g. SC Rank, ST Rank, OBC-A Rank, OBC-B
Rank, PwD Rank as applicable.
e) Counselling/allotment of seat/admission will be done based on
GMR only (not on category ranks). Category ranks are only for
information to candidates.
f) Category ranks are generated based on the birth category information
given by the candidates during online application. If during verification,
any candidate’s claim is found invalid, his/her category rank will be
cancelled and the candidate will be considered in general category with
his/her GMR. Category ranks of other candidates will not be
revised.
2.8 Tie–breaking Methodology:
a) In case of tie, the candidate obtaining less negative score will have better
rank.
b) If tie exists still thereafter, all such candidates will be awarded the same
rank and will be considered for counselling and admission with bunching
effect.
