ST Category Previous Year Cutoff Trends
Based on available data from the 2022 to 2024 cycles, the WBJEE ANM GNM ST category cutoff ranged narrowly between 41 and 43 marks — a variation of just 2 marks across three years. This consistency signals that the ST qualifying pool is stable in both size and performance. The margin between ST and General category cutoffs has also held steady at roughly 12–15 marks each year.
Key patterns in the ST category trend:
- ST cutoff varied by a maximum of 2 marks across three consecutive years — one of the most stable categories.
- The ST cutoff sits approximately 12–15 marks below the General/UR cutoff in every cycle.
- ST category cutoff is 5–7 marks lower than SC in each cycle, consistent with the reserved-category hierarchy.
- No year-on-year upward trend in ST cutoff — unlike the General category, which has edged higher as applicant numbers grow.
| Year | ST Category Cutoff | SC Category Cutoff | General Category Cutoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | ~42 marks | ~48 marks | ~57 marks |
| 2023 | ~41 marks | ~47 marks | ~54 marks |
| 2022 | ~43 marks | ~49 marks | ~57 marks |
| 2026 (Expected) | 55–60 marks | 60–65 marks | 75–80 marks |
Previous year figures are from available trend data. The 2026 expected cutoff is based on the current 115-mark exam structure and 2025 analysis.

Factors Affecting WBJEE ANM GNM Cutoff
The WBJEEB sets the final cutoff after evaluating several variables that differ from year to year. Understanding these helps you assess how the 2026 cutoff might move relative to the expected range above.
- Total applicants in the ST category: A larger ST applicant pool with limited seats pushes the cutoff up; fewer applicants bring it down.
- Exam difficulty level: A harder paper lowers the average score across the board, reducing the cutoff; an easier paper has the opposite effect.
- Seat availability per category: The number of ST-reserved seats across ANM and GNM programs in West Bengal directly determines where the cutoff lands.
- State reservation policy: West Bengal’s reservation rules define the exact seat share for each SC, ST, OBC, and PwD sub-group, setting individual category cutoffs independently.
- Year-on-year competition growth: As nursing career awareness grows in the state, application numbers increase annually, which can gradually push cutoffs higher even in reserved categories.
