How Your WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 Score is Calculated
You can self-estimate your score using the official answer key released by WBJEEB. The marking scheme for WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 is straightforward with two distinct question categories.

|---|---|---|---|
| Category 1 (85 questions) | +1 mark | –0.25 mark | 0 |
