Clash with WB OBC list and WBCAP UG Registration 2025
The WBCAP admission portal opened on July 17 but faced issues when the Calcutta High Court put a hold on the state's updated OBC list. The Supreme Court repealed this hold on July 28, allowing West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) and college admissions to proceed with the updated OBC categories. Following the apex court verdict, the WB higher education department notified the students to update their social category details on the portal from July 29, 2025.
