The cutoff will depend on various factors such as the number of available seats, marking scheme, difficulty level of the previous year's question paper, and the number of candidates who appeared for the exam.
Candidates who meet the WBJEE Cutoff 2023 will be eligible for admission to the participating colleges of WBJEE 2023. It is important to note that candidates from West Bengal have a reservation of 90% of the seats, while candidates from other states are eligible for the remaining 10%.
