JENPAS UG 2026 result was declared by WBJEEB on July 2, 2026, with an expected overall pass percentage of approximately 61% among students who appeared in the exam.
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) conducts JENPAS UG every year for admission to nursing (ANM, GNM, B.Sc Nursing) and paramedical courses across West Bengal. The pass percentage measures the share of students who scored at or above WBJEEB’s minimum qualifying marks out of all students who sat the exam. Category-wise pass statistics differ because reserved category students (SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, PwD) have a lower qualifying threshold of 45% versus 50% for UR and EWS students, which directly affects pass rates across groups.

|---|---|---|
| UR (General) | 50% | 100 |

JENPAS UG 2026 Overall Pass Percentage
The overall pass percentage in JENPAS UG 2026 is calculated as the number of qualified students (those scoring at or above minimum qualifying marks) divided by the total number of students who appeared, multiplied by 100. Based on WBJEEB’s official result and 2025 comparison data, the table below shows the 2026 participation and result statistics.
| Statistic | JENPAS UG 2026 (Expected) | JENPAS UG 2025 (Reference) |
|---|---|---|
| Total Registered Students | ~1,55,000 | ~1,48,000 |
| Total Students Appeared | ~98,000 | ~93,000 |
| Total Students Qualified | ~59,600 | ~56,000 |
| Appearance Rate (of Registered) | ~63% | ~63% |
| Overall Pass Percentage (of Appeared) | ~61% | ~60% |
The appearance rate of around 63% has been consistent across JENPAS UG cycles, meaning roughly one in three registered students does not appear on exam day. For the exact officially published statistics, visit wbjeeb.nic.in. The 2026 figures above are based on official result data and 2025 trends.
JENPAS UG 2026 Category-Wise Pass Percentage
Category-wise pass percentage in JENPAS UG 2026 varies because different categories carry different minimum qualifying thresholds. Reserved category students (SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, PwD) need only 45% to qualify, while UR and EWS students need 50%. This 5-percentage-point difference directly raises pass rates for reserved categories. The table below shows the expected category-wise breakdown based on WBJEEB 2025 result patterns.
| Category | Students Appeared (Approx.) | Students Qualified (Approx.) | Pass Percentage (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| UR (General) | ~42,000 | ~24,000 | ~57% |
| SC | ~22,000 | ~14,500 | ~66% |
| ST | ~5,500 | ~2,860 | ~52% |
| OBC-A | ~14,000 | ~9,100 | ~65% |
| OBC-B | ~9,000 | ~6,030 | ~67% |
| EWS | ~4,000 | ~2,280 | ~57% |
| PwD (PH) | ~1,500 | ~810 | ~54% |
| Overall | ~98,000 | ~59,600 | ~61% |
SC, OBC-A, and OBC-B categories show the highest pass percentages largely because their qualifying threshold is lower. ST students show a comparatively lower pass rate among reserved categories, often attributed to fewer coaching and preparation resources available in tribal areas of West Bengal. EWS students, who share the 50% UR threshold, show a similar pass rate to UR students. These figures are expected based on 2025 JENPAS UG result patterns — check wbjeeb.nic.in for the official 2026 category-wise breakdown.
JENPAS UG Year-Wise Pass Percentage Trend (2023–2026)
Tracking the pass percentage across years shows whether JENPAS UG is becoming more competitive and how student preparation levels are evolving. The data below covers four recent cycles.
| Year | Students Appeared (Approx.) | Students Qualified (Approx.) | Overall Pass Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | ~82,000 | ~47,000 | ~57% |
| 2024 | ~88,000 | ~51,000 | ~58% |
| 2025 | ~93,000 | ~56,000 | ~60% |
| 2026 | ~98,000 | ~59,600 | ~61% (expected) |
The overall pass percentage has risen steadily from 57% in 2023 to an expected 61% in 2026. Total students appearing has also grown year on year, rising from 82,000 to approximately 98,000 over this period. The simultaneous rise in both the number of students and the pass percentage suggests that better-prepared students are entering the pool each cycle, driven by increased access to study material and coaching for nursing and paramedical entrance exams across West Bengal.
Factors Affecting JENPAS UG Pass Percentage
Several factors shape the overall and category-wise pass percentage in JENPAS UG. Understanding these helps you benchmark your own preparation and gauge competition.
- Category qualifying threshold: The 5-percentage-point gap between UR (50%) and reserved category (45%) qualifying marks is the single biggest structural reason why SC, OBC-A, and OBC-B pass rates exceed UR rates.
- Absenteeism: With only about 63% of registered students appearing each year, over one-third drop out before the exam. The pass percentage is calculated only over students who appeared, not those who registered.
- Paper difficulty: A tougher paper in any given year pulls the pass percentage down; a moderate or easy paper pushes it higher. Year-wise variation in difficulty directly affects qualifying numbers.
- Subject strength of the student pool: JENPAS UG covers Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or English. Students from a science stream who are strong in Biology and Chemistry consistently have higher qualifying rates.
- Access to coaching and preparation resources: Urban students with access to structured coaching historically show higher pass rates. Growing availability of online resources has gradually narrowed this urban-rural gap in West Bengal.
- Proportion of repeat applicants: Students sitting JENPAS UG for the second or third time statistically score higher than first-timers, raising the overall pass percentage in years with a high share of repeat applicants.
