What is JELET & Why Application Correction Matters
JELET (Joint Entrance for Lateral Entry Test) is the exam conducted by WBJEEB for lateral entry admission to second year / third semester of BE / B.Tech / B.Pharm in various engineering & technology institutes in West Bengal.
Since applications require many personal, academic, and exam‐centre choices, mistakes can happen (typos, wrong category, incorrect uploaded documents etc.). The correction window helps avoid disqualification or later problems due to incorrect info.
Important Dates: When Correction is Allowed
| Activity | Date |
|---|---|
| Application form submission period | September 9 – September 17, 2025 |
| Application Form Correction Facility open | September 19 – September 20, 2025 |
| JELET 2025 Exam Date | October 18, 2025 (Saturday) |
| Admit Card Download Window | October 10 – October 18, 2025 |
Hence, candidates must ensure any corrections are completed by September 20, 2025. After that, no edits will be allowed.
What Details Can & Cannot Be Edited
It’s crucial to know which fields the correction facility allows & which it does not. This avoids disappointment later.
✅ Editable Fields
According to the notices:
Contact details (address, mobile number, email)
Exam center preference (if allowed)
Category of candidate (reserved category / PwD / etc.), possibly domicile status etc.
Some academic or qualification details (if entered wrongly)
Uploaded photograph, signature (format/size) if the specs were violated before
❌ Non-editable / Not Allowed Fields
These are permanent / critical fields that cannot be changed during the correction period:
Name of the candidate
Father’s name / Mother’s name
Date of Birth (DOB)
Domicile status (in many cases)
Once submitted, these critical identity / eligibility fields are locked and cannot be altered. Make sure you had entered them correctly while registering.
How to Access the Correction Facility — Step by Step
Follow these steps to use the JELET 2025 correction window:
Go to the official WBJEEB JELET portal: wbjeeb.nic.in/jelet
Look for the “Application Form Correction” link under the JELET section or Candidates Activity Board.
Login using credentials: your Application Number / Password (or other login details as applicable)
Once logged in, navigate to the edit section and update allowed fields as necessary.
Review carefully all entries before final submission. After submitting corrections, no further edits will be possible.
Save / print a copy of edited confirmation or updated form for your records.
Why Use the Correction Window — Common Scenarios
Some typical reasons candidates use the correction facility:
Mistyped contact info (mobile number / email / address)
Picked wrong exam centers (closer / convenient center not selected first)
Uploaded signature or photo that doesn’t meet size/format / had blur or wrong dimension
Wrong category / reservation type selected (if allowed to edit)
Minor academic detail mistakes (marks, year of passing)
Getting these right is important as wrong details can lead to admitting issues later, or even disqualification.
Things to Remember & Best Practices
Double check all details before the form is submitted originally. The non-editable fields (name, DOB, parent’s name etc.) cannot be changed later.
Make sure the photo and signature files conform to the size and format specifications. Rejected uploads earlier has caused many problems in past years.
Keep your login credentials safe — you’ll need the application number and password to access the correction window.
If there is any discrepancy detected later (for non-editable fields), contact the board only via official channels. Sometimes serious issues may require documentary proof, but often this won’t be possible after the deadline.
Key Implications & Next Steps
After corrections, WBJEEB will issue the admit card later, likely from October 10 to 18, 2025. Candidates need the final correct details for the hall ticket.
The exam is scheduled for October 18, 2025 (Saturday) from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM (2 hours) in OMR/offline mode.
Use the time before corrections close to verify eligibility criteria, documents needed, exam pattern etc.
Summary — What You Must Do
If you have already submitted your JELET 2025 application, login during 19-20 September 2025 to correct permitted details.
Ensure contact / exam centre / academic / category info is correct.
Do not try editing name, DOB, parents’ name etc. — these are locked.
Upload proper photo, signature in correct format.
Make corrections carefully — only one opportunity is provided.
After correction window ends, wait for the Admit Card releases and exam.

Final Thoughts
The correction facility is a helpful chance to ensure your JELET 2025 application is error-free. Errors in personal or academic details can create serious issues later — admit card mismatches, eligibility conflicts, etc. Use the facility wisely within the window (19-20 September), correct what you can, double check everything, and then shift focus to exam preparation. Good luck for your JELET 2025 exam!
