WBJEE ANM GNM Cutoff 2026: Expected July 2026, Category Wise Qualifying Marks and Counselling

The WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 cutoff is the minimum score to qualify for counselling. It covers both Auxiliary Nursing and Midwifery (ANM) and General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) courses in West Bengal. WBJEEB releases it with the rank card on its official website, wbjeeb.nic.in. The 2026 exam took place on June 14, 2026, and the result is expected in July 2026.

The WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 result and cutoff are expected in July 2026 at wbjeeb.nic.in. The official qualifying marks will be published with the rank card once declared.

• General category students need around 76–82 marks out of 115 to clear the qualifying cutoff, based on previous year trends.
• SC students need approximately 62–68 marks out of 115 to appear on the merit list and join counselling.
• ST students need around 57–63 marks. OBC-A students need roughly 68–74 marks to qualify.
• The same qualifying cutoff applies to both ANM and GNM. Your course preference is locked in only during seat allotment.
• WBJEEB conducts counselling in three rounds (Round 1, Round 2, and Mop-Up). Around 500 ANM and 2,817 GNM seats are available.
• The General category qualifying mark has risen by about 11 marks over the last four years. Competition for nursing seats has grown steadily.

WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 Cutoff: Important Dates

The result and cutoff are the next major milestones for the 2026 cycle. The exam is already done. The table below lists upcoming events first, followed by past events in order.

Factors Affecting WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 Cutoff

The qualifying cutoff changes each year. WBJEEB does not set a fixed threshold in advance. It depends on exam performance and seat availability. Here are the main factors that move the cutoff up or down.

• Number of applicants: A larger applicant pool generally pushes the cutoff higher. More students competing for the same seats raises the performance bar.
• Difficulty level of the exam: A tougher paper leads to lower scores across the board. WBJEEB adjusts the cutoff downward in such years.
• Total seats available: Around 500 ANM and 2,817 GNM seats are available in 2026. If new institutes join or seats increase, the cutoff may ease slightly.
• Category-wise reservation: West Bengal follows state reservation norms. SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, and PwD students have lower qualifying marks than General category students.
• Exam paper pattern: The 2026 paper has 85 Category-1 questions (+1/−0.25) and 15 Category-2 questions (+2, no negative marking). Any change in this structure affects score distribution.
• High scorers in the merit list: If more students score above 90, WBJEEB may raise the qualifying bar to keep the merit list manageable for counselling.

WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 Category-Wise Cutoff (Expected)

WBJEEB will release the official category-wise qualifying cutoff with the 2026 result in July 2026. The table below shows expected cutoff ranges based on the last four years of trend data.

Note: These are expected ranges based on previous year trends. The official 2026 cutoff will be released by WBJEEB with the result at wbjeeb.nic.in.

Meeting the qualifying cutoff does not guarantee a seat. Your rank decides which institute and course you get in counselling. Aim for a score well above the cutoff to keep more options open.

Closing Marks at Top Nursing Institutes

The qualifying cutoff gets you into counselling. Your actual admission depends on the closing mark at your chosen institute during each round. Government nursing colleges in West Bengal are the most sought after. They tend to have higher closing marks than private institutes.

Note: These are approximate closing mark ranges based on previous counselling trends. Official round-wise allotment data is released by WBJEEB after each counselling round.

If you want a top government institute, aim for a score above 88–90 marks. This improves your chances of a first-round allotment. Lower-ranked government institutes typically close around 78–85 marks for General category students.

WBJEE ANM GNM Previous Year Cutoff Trends

The WBJEE ANM GNM cutoff has risen steadily across the last four years. This reflects consistent growth in the number of applicants competing for a relatively stable pool of seats.

Note: Approximate figures based on available data from previous counselling cycles. The official qualifying mark appears in the merit list published by WBJEEB with each year’s result.

The General category qualifying mark rose by about 11 marks from 2022 to 2025. SC category rose by about 11 marks and ST by about 11 marks across the same period. OBC-A rose by about 10 marks and OBC-B by about 10 marks. This is a consistent pattern. Every category moved up by roughly 10–11 marks over four years. The exam has become noticeably more competitive.

The General category cutoff may land around 78–82 marks when WBJEEB declares the 2026 result in July 2026. This projection follows the same rate of increase seen from 2022 to 2025.

Round-Wise Counselling Cutoff

WBJEEB runs three counselling rounds — Round 1, Round 2, and a Mop-Up Round. The closing marks at each institute change across rounds. Generally, later rounds see slightly lower closing marks as unfilled seats remain, though this depends on the institute and course.

If you get an allotment in Round 1 but want a better institute, you can participate in Round 2. You must surrender your Round 1 seat before joining the next round. Not participating in your allotted round means you lose that seat permanently.

Do not skip document verification after a round allotment. Missing the verification window cancels your allotment, even if your score qualifies you for that institute.

How to Check the Cutoff After the Result

WBJEEB does not release the qualifying cutoff as a separate document. It appears in the rank card details after the result is declared. Here is how to access it.

• Visit the official WBJEEB website at wbjeeb.nic.in/anm-gnm/.
• Click on the result or rank card link once it is live in July 2026.
• Log in with your application number and date of birth.
• Download your rank card. It shows your total marks, overall rank, category rank, and qualifying status.
• WBJEEB also publishes a merit list PDF with the qualifying mark stated for each category. Download it from the same page.

Once your rank card is out, compare your score with the category-wise cutoff in the merit list. If your marks meet or exceed the cutoff for your category, you are eligible for counselling. Rounds are expected to start in August 2026.
