WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 Exam Pattern and Expected Qualifying Marks
The WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 exam comprised 100 multiple-choice questions for a total of 115 marks, with two papers having different marking schemes. Understanding this structure helps you assess your likely score and placement in the merit list:
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Total Questions | 100 MCQs |
| Total Marks | 115 |
| Exam Duration | 1 hour 30 minutes |
| Paper 1 Marking Scheme | +1 for correct answer, −0.25 (negative marking) for incorrect |
| Paper 2 Marking Scheme | +2 for correct answer, no negative marking |
| Subjects Covered | Life Science, Physical Science, Mathematics/Arithmetic, Language (Bengali / English / Hindi / Nepali) |
| Exam Mode | Offline (pen and paper, OMR sheet) |
The expected minimum qualifying marks for WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 by category are as follows (expected based on WBJEEB eligibility norms; official threshold will be confirmed with the result):
| Category | Expected Minimum Qualifying Marks (out of 115) | Approximate Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | ~46 marks | 40% |
| OBC-A / OBC-B | ~43 marks | ~37% |
| SC / ST / PWD | ~40 marks | ~35% |
Scoring the minimum qualifying marks only places you on the merit list; it does not ensure a seat. Based on 2025 cutoff trends, a score of approximately 60–70 marks out of 115 gives you a realistic chance at a seat in a government nursing college for the General category. Reserved category cutoffs are expected to be lower.
How the WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 Merit List and Qualification Works
WBJEEB assigns General Merit Ranks based entirely on marks scored in the entrance exam. Here is what you need to know about the qualification and ranking system:
- Two separate GMR lists are published — one for ANM (Revised) and one for GNM. You can receive a rank in both if eligible.
- All students who score at or above the minimum qualifying marks receive a merit rank. Those scoring below the minimum are not included in the merit list and are ineligible for counselling.
- Rank is based solely on total marks out of 115. In case of ties, WBJEEB applies a tiebreaker based on performance in individual papers.
- Receiving a merit rank does not guarantee a seat — actual allotment depends on your rank, category, and choices filled during counselling.
- Students are advised to fill choices for both government and private institutions to maximise their chances of seat allotment.
