What Documents Do You Need?
Prepare these before your first session with WBE. Having complete documents is the single biggest factor in processing speed.
| Document | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SSC Marksheet & Certificate | Required | Original + 2 photocopies |
| HSC Marksheet & Certificate | Required | Original + 2 photocopies |
| Valid Passport | Required | Minimum 18 months validity recommended |
| Birth Certificate | Required | English or attested copy |
| Passport-Size Photographs | Required | 6–8 copies, white background, recent |
| Bachelor's Marksheet & Certificate | If applicable | Only for postgraduate applicants |
| Bank Statement | Required | For visa application — showing sufficient funds |
| NID / National ID | If applicable | If passport is not yet available (passport strongly preferred) |
Pro tip: Start your passport application alongside your first WBE counselling session. Passport delays are the #1 cause of missed intake windows. If you don't have a passport yet, WBE can begin your university application with your NID — but the passport must be ready before the visa stage.

OpenPrimary intake — largest seat availability and full scholarship tiers

Admission Process FAQs
Answers to the questions Bangladeshi students and parents ask most about the India admission process.
What documents do I need to apply to an Indian university from Bangladesh?
You need your SSC marksheet and certificate, HSC marksheet and certificate, a valid passport (strongly recommended over NID — it is required for the visa stage), a birth certificate, and passport-size photographs. For postgraduate programs, include your bachelor's marksheet and certificate as well. WBE checks all documents for completeness before submission.
How long does the admission process take from start to finish?
The full process — from your first counselling session to receiving your Offer Letter — typically takes 2 to 4 weeks if your documents are complete. Visa processing adds another 2 to 4 weeks. In total, plan for 4 to 8 weeks from first contact to departure. Delays almost always come from incomplete documents or passport issues.
Does WBE charge any fees for admission processing?
No. WBE charges zero fees at every stage — counselling, application processing, scholarship negotiation, visa guidance, and post-arrival support. You pay tuition and hostel fees directly to the university only. WBE is funded through its official university partnerships, not by students.
Can I apply to multiple universities at the same time?
Yes. WBE recommends applying to 2–3 universities simultaneously so you can compare Offer Letters, scholarship tiers, and total annual costs side by side before committing. There is no extra charge for multiple applications.
What is the difference between applying through WBE and applying directly?
WBE holds direct MOU partnerships with all 8 universities. Applications submitted through WBE go through an official, priority channel — not the general public queue. This means faster processing, guaranteed scholarship confirmation in writing, and a single point of contact for any issues. Direct applicants often face longer processing times and less transparency on scholarship tiers.
Do I need IELTS or TOEFL to get admission in India?
No. Indian private universities do not require IELTS or TOEFL for Bangladeshi students. All programs at WBE partner universities are fully English-medium. Your SSC and HSC results are the primary admission criteria.
What happens if my application is rejected?
Rejections through the WBE channel are rare because we pre-screen your documents and eligibility before submission. If a specific program or university does not accept your profile, WBE immediately recommends alternative options that match your academics and budget — at no extra cost.
Can I defer my admission to a later intake?
Most universities allow deferral to the next available intake (usually January or July/August). Deferral policies vary by university, and scholarship availability may change between intakes. WBE advises on the specific deferral terms for your chosen university.
Is the Indian Student Visa difficult to get for Bangladeshi students?
The Indian Student Visa (S-visa) requires correct documentation — offer letter, financial proof, passport, and photographs. If your file is complete and accurate, the visa is straightforward. WBE prepares your complete visa documentation and has handled hundreds of successful applications. The main risk is incomplete paperwork, which WBE eliminates through pre-submission review.
When should I start the admission process for the July/August intake?
Start by February–March for the best scholarship availability and seat selection. Applications submitted after May are still accepted but may face limited seat availability in popular programs like B.Tech CSE or BBA. January intake applications should begin by September–October of the previous year.
