As WBJEE is a State Level Entrance Examination, only Indian Citizens are eligible to appear for WBJEE. If your son is an OCI card holder, he is ineligible for appearing for WBJEE. He might have completed his studies in West Bengal but his Nationality needs to be Indian to be eligible for WBJEE.

Thanks for the prompt answer. Though last year i got a different answer in this forum which caused confusion. Though i am not convinced with the reason (rest of the engineering exams are treating him as regular candidate), nevertheless thank you once again.
