BCREC Admission Process

BCREC fills 80% of B.Tech seats through WBJEE counselling. Another 10% are allotted using JEE Main ranks through a separate merit list, while the college directly manages the remaining 10% management quota. Admission routes for the other courses depend on their respective entrance tests and counselling systems.

B.Tech Admission

Applicants must pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. WBJEE-based admission requires at least 45% aggregate marks.

• Take WBJEE and secure a valid rank.
• Create an account on the counselling portal of the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB).
• Select preferred courses and institutes, then lock the choices.
• Accept the allotted seat and submit the acceptance fee.
• Visit BCREC Durgapur for document checks and enrolment.

MBA Admission

MBA applicants need a bachelor’s degree in any subject with at least 50% aggregate marks. BCREC accepts JEMAT, MAT, CAT, XAT, and CMAT scores. The college prepares a merit order from entrance scores before conducting group discussion and personal interview rounds.
