WBJEE rank determines seat allotment order for MAKAUT-affiliated colleges including AEC. JEE Main scores are accepted for a limited number of seats under the WBJEEB counselling.
B.Tech Eligibility
- 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, and Chemistry or Computer Science or Biology or Electronics as the third subject
- Minimum 45% aggregate in the qualifying subjects (40% for SC/ST candidates under West Bengal reservation norms)
- Valid WBJEE 2026 rank or JEE Main 2026 Paper-1 score

AEC Asansol vs JISCE vs MSIT
Aspirants shortlisting AEC through WBJEE counselling frequently also consider JIS College of Engineering (JISCE), Kalyani, and Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology (MSIT), Kolkata, both MAKAUT-affiliated private engineering colleges in West Bengal with similar B.Tech programmes and comparable WBJEE closing ranks.
| Parameter | AEC Asansol | JISCE Kalyani | MSIT Kolkata |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Asansol, Paschim Bardhaman | Kalyani, Nadia | Uchhepota, Kolkata |
| Established | 1998 | 1999 | 2001 |

AEC’s Asansol location in the industrial belt of West Bengal provides proximity to core engineering employers in steel, power, and manufacturing sectors, which is a differentiator from Kolkata-based peers. JISCE in Kalyani benefits from proximity to Kalyani EPIP and the Kolkata IT corridor. MSIT’s Kolkata location gives access to the city’s IT and finance industry recruiter base. All three colleges hold NAAC A grade and are comparable in terms of accreditation level. Aspirants from Asansol and nearby areas such as Durgapur, Dhanbad, and Raniganj typically prefer AEC for its local proximity.
