West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam Board (WBJEEB) allocates a rank to candidates based on his/her performance in the entrance exam. Candidates are assigned a rank by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam Board (WBJEEB) depending on their performance in the entrance exam. The board publishes two rank lists for the counselling process, i.e., General Merit Rank (GMR) and Pharmacy Merit Rank (PMR). Candidates who are eligible under the GMR can enrol in both B. Tech and B. Pharm, however PMR candidates can only enrol in B.Pharm.

In certain circumstances, a tie-breaking policy is implemented to break the tie.
