JENPAS UG 2026 Answer Key has been released by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) on 23rd June 2026. Candidates who took the JENPAS(UG) exam on 7th June 2026 can now access their provisional answer keys at wbjeeb.nic.in using their login credentials. The objection window closes on 25th June 2026 at 11:59 PM, and candidates can challenge answers by paying ₹500 per question (non-refundable). This article is based on the official notice (JEEB/Reg-77/26) released by WBJEEB.
Understanding JENPAS UG 2026 Answer Key Challenge
The provisional answer key released by WBJEEB is the official first version of all correct answers from the exam. This document serves two purposes: it allows candidates to self-assess their performance, and it opens a formal channel for objections. If a candidate believes an answer in the key is incorrect or if multiple valid answers exist for a question, they can raise a structured challenge within the specified deadline.
The challenge process is competitive and final. Once submitted, objections are reviewed by WBJEEB’s subject matter experts, and the decision of the Board becomes the basis for final score calculation. No further appeals or communications regarding challenges will be entertained after submission. This means candidates must carefully review questions before paying the ₹500 per-question challenge fee.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is the difference between the provisional answer key and the final answer key?
Ans. The provisional answer key is the first official version released immediately after the exam. The final answer key is prepared after WBJEEB reviews all candidate objections and makes decisions on challenged questions. Final scores are calculated based on the final answer key, not the provisional one.
Q2. If I challenge a question and the WBJEEB decides in my favour, will my ₹500 fee be refunded?
Ans. No. The challenge fee is explicitly non-refundable regardless of whether your objection is accepted or rejected by WBJEEB.
Q3. Can I challenge the same question more than once?
Ans. No. Each candidate can submit the challenge only once. You cannot resubmit or modify your challenges after the initial submission, even if the deadline has not passed.
Q4. My parent concerned? How will the answer key affect my final rank? Can I fail because of the answer key changes?
Ans. The answer key is used to calculate your final score, which determines your rank in the merit list. If WBJEEB’s review of challenges results in marking changes, your score will be recalculated. Your rank depends on your final score compared to all other candidates. If your score increases due to favourable challenge decisions, your rank may improve; if it decreases, your rank may change accordingly.
Q5. What if I miss the 25th June 2026 deadline to challenge the answer key?
Ans. No challenges will be accepted after 25th June 2026 at 11:59 PM. WBJEEB will proceed to finalise the answer key and calculate ranks based on submitted challenges only. You will not be able to challenge answers after the deadline under any circumstances.
Q6. Which payment methods are NOT accepted for paying the challenge fee?
Ans. Only net banking, debit card, credit card, and UPI are accepted. Cash, cheque, demand draft, or any other payment method will not be accepted. Ensure your payment is processed through one of the approved modes only.
Q7. If my challenge payment fails, can I re-attempt the payment before the deadline?
Ans. Yes, you can re-attempt payment if the first transaction failed. However, you must complete the payment before 25th June 2026 at 11:59 PM. Challenges without successful payment will not be reviewed, so monitor your payment confirmation carefully.
