Hello Aspirant,

You must have known to the fact that there are only few State Universities in the whole India which doesn't have any domicile quota for their own state.  Jadavpur University was one of them because before 2019 there were no reserved seats in WBJEE counselling for the students of its own state, West Bengal. But the situation has become changed after the modification of this domicile criteria by the JU Management Board.

According to the reformed rules and regulations, 90% of Engineering seats for general category in JU has been fixed for only the candidates of West Bengal from 2019. Other 10% general category Engineering seats are only for the canditates coming from the outside of our state.

One more thing should be added here that this advantage is only for the General-UR aspirants i.e. this domicile criteria is not applicable for the students of other reserved categories like SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, TFW, PWD etc. Lots of controversies centred round this decision as different people had different kind of opinions regarding this according to their own interests.

However if you're a General-UR candidate, so don't need to be worried, you'll definitely get this advantage in your upcoming WBJEE counselling. So just start intense hardworking to successfully get admitted in this top and eminent Engineering Institution in West Bengal.
