Dear aspirant,

Every year Wbjee exam is taken for admission to various colleges in West Bengal.In which only 5% seats  are for other state students and rest of the seats are for west bengal domiciled candidates and for getting in those colleges like Jadavpur University you are required to produce domiciled certificate of west bengal and caste certificate of west bengal. Now coming to your query IIEST Shibpur takes admission through Jee mains and not through Wbjee so for getting admission to IIEST you did not require domicile certificate of west bengal but you require caste certificate.

Hope this helps.

i am talking for admission through Josaa counselling . i.e. my jee mains rank.
so would i get ST reservation under HOME STATE category in WEST BENGAL if my domicile is of WB but ST certificate of Jharkhand..?
or i would be taken as Other State in WB because my ST certificate is of Jharkhand.

sauravkumar48736 okey so this is me after i got admission in iiest Sibhpur electrical branch
so yes they'll consider your caste certificate even if it's from other state but given that you must have the state of eligibility from that particular institute

like in my case my state of eligibility (from where i've passed 12th) was west bengal but my caste certificate was from jharkhand but i got reservation under st quota in home state !
