Ans: No, there is no separate counselling fee for JEXPO 2025. Only a seat booking fee is charged, which is usually around INR 500. Once a seat is allotted in your name, you will have to pay this fee online through scvtwb.in to confirm the seat. If you do not pay, your seat will be automatically cancelled, even if you have been allotted one.
If you have a Kanyashree ID and have paid the reduced form fee earlier, you will have to pay the seat booking fee at the time of allotment. However, there are no additional counselling charges like processing or service fees, so keep your INR 500 ready after allotment. This is for expenses during counselling at JEXPO 2025.
Ans: In JEXPO 2025, more than 150 polytechnic colleges across West Bengal participate in the admission process. These include government, government-sponsored and private self-financed institutions offering diploma courses in civil, mechanical, electrical, computer science and more.
While popular government colleges like APC Roy, Hooghly Institute of Technology and Central Calcutta Polytechnic attract top students, numerous private colleges welcome applicants from lower ranks. Each college updates its seat availability before conducting counselling. The counselling portal shows which colleges are accepting applications in your category. You can select multiple institutions based on your qualifications and preferences while filling in the preferences.
So yes, if you are thinking of joining a reputed diploma engineering college, JEXPO 2025 offers a wide range with over 150 participating polytechnics to choose from.
Ans: Yes, students from other states can apply for JEXPO 2025, but there are some conditions. The West Bengal residential quota is applicable only to government and government-sponsored colleges. If you are not a resident of West Bengal, you cannot claim those reserved seats. However, you are still eligible for self-financed seats in private polytechnic colleges under JEXPO 2025, as they generally accept students irrespective of their state.
To apply from other states, simply fill the application form at scvtwb.in, upload your state documents and select the private institution under the open category only during counselling. Your application will be considered along with other non-resident students. So yes, non-WB students can study in polytechnics through JEXPO 2025, but seats in private institutions will be limited.

Depending on the remaining seats, you may get another chance in the next counselling round. However, your initial seat allotment will no longer be valid. You will have to register again, select the college, and wait for the new allotment. So always track the last dates on scvtwb.in and make the payment promptly. This ensures that your seat is reserved, and you do not lose your chance at JEXPO 2025.
