The West Bengal Joint Entrance Management Aptitude Test (WB JEMAT) 2026, conducted by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), West Bengal, serves as a state-level gateway for MBA, MHA, and other postgraduate management programs across MAKAUT-affiliated institutes in West Bengal. This online computer-based test (CBT) features 50 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) to be solved in 60 minutes, spanning three key sections: English (grammar, vocabulary, comprehension), Mathematics/Quantitative Aptitude (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, data interpretation), and Logical Reasoning (puzzles, series, coding-decoding, arrangements), with a marking scheme of +2 for correct answers and -0.25 for incorrect ones, emphasizing speed and precision. Eligibility requires a bachelor's degree (10+2+3 pattern) in any discipline from UGC/AICTE-recognized universities, extending to final-year students who must submit mark sheets before admission; no minimum percentage or age limit applies, but distance education degrees and non-Indian nationals are ineligible, while reservations follow West Bengal norms (SC 22%, ST 6%, OBC-A 10%, OBC-B 7%, PwD 3%, EWS 10%).
Registration occurs online via cetmat.formflix.com/jemat, typically in phases from May-June 2026 (tentative), with fees of INR 600 (General/OBC) or INR 300 (SC/ST/PwD), involving steps like account creation, form filling, document upload (photo/signature), preference selection, and payment—no physical submission needed. Admit cards release days before the June 2026 exam (tentative), downloadable using login credentials, mandatory with photo ID at centers. Results appear as rank cards on the portal 1-2 weeks post-exam, detailing sectional/total scores and merit ranks for GD/PI shortlisting and e-counseling.
Post-result, centralized e-counseling on the JEMAT portal includes registration, fee payment, choice filling/locking of institutes/courses, seat allotment by rank/category/availability, document verification (mark sheets, certificates, ID), and reporting for fee confirmation/upgradation rounds. Preparation hinges on syllabus mastery: revise basics, practice topic-wise from RS Aggarwal/Wren & Martin, take timed mocks, analyze errors, and focus high-yield areas like arithmetic/DI, vocab/grammar, seating puzzles, avoiding blind guesses amid negative marking. No public answer key or revaluation exists due to automated evaluation; cut-offs vary by institute, rank-driven without uniform thresholds.
Candidates must monitor makautwb.ac.in and cetmat.formflix.com/jemat for official notifications, as dates/patterns may update; the process ensures merit-based access to quality management education in West Bengal's top B-schools, blending aptitude testing with holistic admission via counseling.

The candidate must review the eligibility requirements listed below before completing the WB JEMAT 2026 application form.
Applications will be accepted online only via the official JEMAT portal (cetmat.formflix.com/jemat) or link given on makautwb.ac.in.
Steps broadly include:
The JEMAT admit card was made available online in June by MAKAUT, West Bengal. Candidates who have finished the online application form by the deadline can access their JEMAT 2026 admission card.
On exam day, applicants are required to present their JEMAT admit card, since access is not allowed without it. By entering their registration number and password on the JEMAT website, candidates can access and download their admission card.
JEMAT tests three main areas:
WB JEMAT 2026 results will be released online as a scorecard/rank card on the official MAKAUT JEMAT portal, and candidates must log in with their credentials to download it. The scorecard will show your sectional scores, total score and JEMAT rank, which are then used for shortlisting and counselling.
WB JEMAT 2026 counseling is a centralized online e-counseling process managed by MAKAUT after result declaration.
Qualified candidates register on cetmat.formflix.com/jemat, pay a non-refundable fee, fill and lock college/course choices, then receive seat allotment based on JEMAT rank, category, reservations, and preferences. Allottees report to the assigned institute for document verification, fee payment, and admission confirmation, with possible upgradation rounds for vacancies.
WB JEMAT 2026 preparation should focus on the three tested areas—English, Mathematics, and Logical Reasoning—aligned with the official syllabus and recent exam pattern. Start by revising core concepts (school-level maths, basic grammar, and reasoning fundamentals), then move to topic-wise practice with quality aptitude books and JEMAT-style questions.
Regular full-length mock tests in 60 minutes are essential to build speed and accuracy under negative marking, followed by careful error analysis to fix weak areas. In the final weeks, prioritize high-weightage topics (arithmetic, data interpretation, vocabulary, and common reasoning puzzles) and short, daily revision of formulas and vocabulary lists.
