The WB JELET 2027 syllabus is set out in Appendix-5 of WBJEEB’s information bulletin. Paper I covers diploma-level Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Fundamentals of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Paper II follows the Pharmacy Council of India’s D.Pharm syllabus. The 2027 bulletin is not out yet, so the 2026 syllabus below is the reference.
Latest (18 March 2026): WBJEEB published the JELET 2026 information bulletin with the syllabus in Appendix-5. The JELET 2027 bulletin has not been released yet.

- Analog circuits: op-amp, inverting and non-inverting amplifiers, adder, integrator, differentiator
- Digital electronics: Boolean algebra and logic gates
Paper II has no separate topic list in the bulletin. It is set on the diploma-level Pharmacy syllabus prescribed by the Pharmacy Council of India.
What is the WB JELET 2027 exam pattern and marking scheme?
Each paper has 100 multiple-choice questions in English and lasts two hours. Paper I is worth 120 marks and Paper II 100 marks.
| Question type | Marks for correct | Wrong answer | Not attempted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category-1 (one correct option) | +1 | -1/4 (also if more than one option is marked) | 0 |
| Category-2 (one or more correct options, Paper I only) | +2 if all correct options are marked; partial: 2 x correct marked / total correct | 0 if any wrong option is marked | 0 |
Where is the official JELET syllabus PDF?
The syllabus is Appendix-5 of the information bulletin. The latest bulletin, for 2026, is linked below; the 2027 bulletin is expected around March 2027 and may revise it.

How to Prepare for the WB JELET 2027 Syllabus
- Start with Mathematics and Physics: together they carry 85 of Paper I’s 120 marks.
- Study from your diploma textbooks, because the syllabus is written at diploma level, for example transformers, alloys and water hardness.
- Attempt Category-2 questions with care: marking even one wrong option gives zero, while marking only some correct options still earns partial marks.
- Do not guess blindly in Category-1, where every wrong answer costs a quarter mark.
- Solve the JELET previous year question papers under a two-hour limit on an OMR-style sheet.
WB JELET Syllabus 2027 FAQs
Is the JELET syllabus the same as Class 12?
No. It is written for diploma holders. Several units, such as transformers, electrical machines, metallurgy and water hardness, come from polytechnic courses rather than Class 12.
Which subject has the most marks in JELET Paper I?
Mathematics, with 40 questions worth 50 of the 120 marks. Physics follows with 30 questions and 35 marks.
Do Pharmacy candidates study Mathematics for JELET?
No. Pharmacy diploma holders write Paper II, which is based only on the PCI diploma syllabus in Pharmacy.
Will the JELET 2027 syllabus change?
WBJEEB has not released the 2027 bulletin yet. The 2026 syllabus is the best guide; check Appendix-5 of the 2027 bulletin when it comes out.
