You don't need to worry at all even if you are not eligible for wbee  you can  still get admission in top engineering college like NIT Trichy NIT Surathkal NIT Warangal NIT Rourkela and more by appearing in JEE Mains examination as oci holders are also eligible for jee main and you can have West Bengal as home state as well to avail home state quota if you have passed 12th from West Bengal.

To be eligible  for JEE mains 2021 for BE or Btech you should be either appearing for 12th board exam or equivalent  in 2021 or should have passed it in 2020 or 2019 with Physics,  mathematics and anyone of Chemistry or Biology or Biotechnology or Technical Vocational Subject.
