In April 2024, feedback from students indicated that the WBJEE paper was generally of moderate difficulty. Physics questions were deemed relatively straightforward, while Chemistry ranged from easy to moderately easy. Mathematics posed a moderate challenge. The question paper comprehensively covered topics from both Class XI and XII Board chapters, ensuring a balanced representation. Many students noted that this year’s paper was simpler compared to previous years. Additionally, several coaching facilities conducted in-depth analyses of the WBJEE 2024 paper, providing valuable insights for aspirants.
