If interested candidates require a seat through the Tripura Joint Entrance Examination, they will have to log in using their username and password and register themselves for counselling. After this process, TBJEE will open the portal again for filling the selection, where students need to log in to choose the seats in their preferred institute.
“Candidates can see their common merit posts through the website tbjee.tripura.gov.in. They need to log in using their username and password to know their individual marks and OMR sheet,” the Chairman said.
