Ideal Institute of Engineering Nadia B.Tech Electrical Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Both WBJEE and JEE Main scores are accepted for admission to B.Tech programmes at IIE Kalyani. However, since IIE is a West Bengal-based private engineering college affiliated to MAKAUT, the primary admission route is through WBJEE counselling conducted by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB). Students who have qualified JEE Main can also participate in the WBJEE counselling process as JEE Main scores are considered for seat allotment in West Bengal private colleges. It is strongly recommended to appear in WBJEE 2026 for a better chance of securing admission.
