If you are both an engineering/pharmacy/architecture entrance and medical entrance aspirant (especially from West Bengal) then this might trouble you. As per the latest official notification of West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination Board (WBJEE), the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) 2019 would take place on May 26th, 2019. This puts WBJEE 2019 in direct clashing range of the coveted All India Medical Entrance exam AIIMS 2019.
AIIMS 2019 is scheduled to take place on May 25th, 26th, 2019. Now, if you have applied for AIIMS MBBS and were looking forward to the WBJEE 2019 then this news would give you some tension. Meanwhile, those who have not applied for either of the exams and are looking forward to appearing in both the exams should make registration cum application for the same.
The registration cum application process for AIIMS 2019 has already kicked off (from 30th November 2018). WBJEE 2019 registration cum application process would begin from December 2018. Aspirants should apply for both the exams (if they were preparing for both these exams) and should wait for further updates from official authorities.
At present, aspirants are advised not to take any tension and stay focused on their preparations as any lapse in your preparation would bring in negative consequences at the performance front.
