WBJEE Exam Syllabus 2026: Complete Guide for Aspiring Students
Every year, thousands of aspirants in West Bengal and neighboring regions compete in the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) to seek admission into engineering, technology, pharmacy, and architecture courses. As 2026 approaches, a solid understanding of the WBJEE 2026 syllabus becomes indispensable — it serves as your roadmap to what topics to cover, how to allocate time, and how to strategize your study. In this blog, we will dive deep into the WBJEE 2026 syllabus: the exam structure and pattern, a subject-wise breakdown of topics, weightage hints, how to use it to prepare, and tips to maximize your outcome. At the end, we also address frequently asked questions. (Note: Unless or until the official board releases changes, this syllabus is based on the latest available updates and past patterns.) Exam Overview & Pattern (WBJEE 2026) Before delving into the syllabus, it is crucial to know the exam format and how questions are structured. That shapes how you should approach the topics. What is WBJEE? WBJEE — the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination — is a state-level competitive exam conducted by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB). It is used for admission to undergraduate courses in engineering, technology, pharmacy, and architecture in colleges in West Bengal and certain affiliated institutions. Important facts: It is an offline (pen & paper) exam, using OMR sheets for responses. The total duration is 4 hours, split as 2 hours for Paper I (Mathematics) and 2 hours for Paper II (Physics + Chemistry combined). The medium is English or Bengali (candidates may choose). Total number of questions = 155 across all subjects. Total marks = 200. Papers, Sections & Question Types WBJEE is divided into two papers: Paper I: Mathematics Paper II: Physics + Chemistry (combined in a single paper, though the questions will clearly identify subject) Each paper uses multiple choice questions (MCQs), with three categories of MCQs differentiated by marks and negative marking rules. Here is a summary of the pattern: Subject / Paper Number of Questions Marks Comment / Category Details Mathematics (Paper I) 75 questions 100 marks Combination of Category I, II, III questions Physics 40 questions 50 marks Combined in Paper II Chemistry 40 questions 50 marks Combined in Paper II Categories & negative marking: Category I questions: +1 mark for correct answer, -0.25 mark for wrong answer (1/4 negative) Category II questions: +2 marks for correct answer, -0.5 mark penalty for incorrect answer Category III questions: +2 marks for correct answer, no negative marking; these might have more than one correct option (multi-option correct Because of this variation, you must practice carefully with negative marking in mind. Also note: Candidates who appear in both Paper I and Paper II are eligible for a General Merit Rank (GMR) and Pharmacy Merit Rank (PMR). Those who appear only in Paper II get a PMR only. Aspirants for pharmacy courses may sometimes take only the Physics + Chemistry portion, depending on institution-specific rules. Syllabus Basis & Overlaps The WBJEE syllabus is largely drawn from Class 11 and Class 12 curriculum in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (as prescribed by WBCHSE or equivalent board). Because of that, many topics overlap with the CBSE / State boards and even JEE Main syllabus, though the pattern, weightage, and depth may differ. A few key things to remember: No question will be asked outside the topics enumerated in the official / prescribed syllabus. There may be tricky or twist questions, but the underlying concept will be within syllabus boundaries. Because the syllabus (for many years) remains stable, past years’ papers are powerful tools for predicting which subtopics get more focus. WBJEE 2026 Syllabus: Subject-Wise Detailed Topics In this section, we break down each subject (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) into its constituent chapters and subtopics, with suggested emphasis based on past trends. Physics Syllabus 2026 According to sources, the WBJEE Physics syllabus has 22 chapters covering a broad range of topics in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, modern physics, etc. Below is a representative list (with subtopics) that aspirants need to master: Physical World, Measurements, Units & Dimensions Fundamental & derived units, dimensional analysis Significant figures, error & uncertainty Kinematics Motion in one and two dimensions Velocity, acceleration, displacement, trajectories Laws of Motion Newton’s laws, force, momentum, impulse Friction, equilibrium The Motion of the Centre of Mass, Connected Systems, Friction Systems of particles, center of mass, motion under internal & external forces Pulley, string, connected bodies Gravitation Universal law of gravitation, gravitational potential, acceleration Orbits, escape velocity Bulk Properties of Matter Elasticity, stress, strain, Hooke’s law Pressure in fluids, Pascal’s principle Viscosity Viscous forces, terminal velocity, Stoke’s law Thermodynamics Zeroth, First, Second law Heat, work, internal energy, entropy Kinetic Theory of Gases Gas laws, Boltzmann constant, molecular speeds distributions Oscillations & Waves Simple harmonic motion Wave motion, superposition, sound Electrostatics Coulomb’s law, electric field, potential, Gauss’s law Current Electricity Ohm’s law, circuits, resistors, series/parallel Magnetic Effects of Current Biot–Savart law, Ampere’s law, magnetic fields in conductors Magnetism Magnetic properties of materials, hysteresis Electromagnetic Induction & Alternating Current Faraday’s law, Lenz’s law, induced EMF AC circuits, RMS values Electromagnetic Waves Wave propagation, spectrum Optics I (Ray Optics) Reflection, refraction, lenses, mirrors, optical instruments Optics II (Wave Optics) Interference, diffraction, polarization Particle Nature of Light & Wave-Particle Dualism Photoelectric effect, photons, de Broglie waves Atomic Physics Atomic models (Bohr), energy levels Nuclear Physics Radioactivity, nuclear reactions, decay Solid State & Electronics Semiconductors, band theory, diode, transistor basics This set of topics broadly matches what many exam preparation sites list. Emphasis / High-Weight Topics: Based on analysis of past years, the following tend to appear more often: Laws of Motion & Kinematics Gravitation Thermodynamics & Kinetic Theory Current Electricity & Electromagnetism Optics (especially ray optics) Modern Physics (atomic, nuclear) Thus, while covering everything, allocate extra time to these areas. Chemistry Syllabus 2026 The Chemistry syllabus in WBJEE 2026 is reported to consist of 27 chapters spanning physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of topics: A. Physical …
