JENPAS UG 2026 Marking Scheme
The JENPAS UG exam has two categories of questions with different marking rules:
- Category-1 questions (single correct answer): +1 mark for a correct answer; -0.25 marks for a wrong answer (negative marking applies); 0 marks for unattempted questions
- Category-2 questions (one or more correct answers): +2 marks for a fully correct response; no negative marking; partial credit is awarded using the formula: 2 × (number of correct options marked) ÷ (total correct options)
Do not attempt Category-1 questions by guessing — negative marking of 0.25 per wrong answer will reduce your total score. Category-2 questions are safer to attempt even if you know only some of the correct options.

- Exam Mode: Offline (OMR-based, pen-and-paper test)
- Duration: 90 minutes per paper
- Language Medium: English and Bengali, except Basic English, Logical Reasoning, and General Knowledge sections (English only)

JENPAS UG 2026: Answer Key
The JENPAS UG 2026 answer key is expected to be released in the third week of June 2026, a few days after the exam on June 7. WBJEEB releases a provisional answer key on the official portal. Candidates can raise objections against any answer they believe is incorrect, within a specified window.

- Log in to the official WBJEEB portal using your application credentials
- Select the specific question and option you want to challenge
- Pay the required challenge fee per objection (amount will be specified by WBJEEB)

JENPAS UG 2026: Result and Merit List
The JENPAS UG 2026 result and merit list will be announced on the official WBJEEB portal after the exam and answer key process. Based on last year’s timeline, the result is expected a few weeks after the answer key release. JENPAS UG 2025 was held on October 18, 2025, and the result was declared on November 12, 2025. For 2026, the result date will be officially announced after the June 7 exam.
JENPAS UG Minimum Qualifying Percentile
You must score at or above the minimum qualifying percentile to be included in the JENPAS UG merit list and become eligible for counselling:
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Percentile |
|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | 50th Percentile |
| General-PwD | 45th Percentile |
| SC / ST / OBC-A / OBC-B / PwD | 40th Percentile |
How JENPAS UG Merit List is Prepared
WBJEEB prepares separate category-wise merit lists after the result. The list determines who participates in counselling. Here is how ranking is decided:
- Marks scored in the exam are used to calculate a percentile score
- Separate merit lists are prepared for General, SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, EWS, and PwD categories
- In case of a tie in scores, the candidate with a higher Biology score gets the better rank; if still tied, then Chemistry, then Physics
- Only candidates who meet the minimum qualifying percentile for their category appear in the merit list
How to Check the JENPAS UG 2026 Result
- Visit the official WBJEEB portal at wbjeeb.nic.in
- Click on the JENPAS UG 2026 result link when it is available
- Enter your application number and date of birth
- Your rank, percentile score, and qualifying status will be displayed
- Download and save your rank card — you will need it for counselling registration
JENPAS UG 2026: Cutoff
The JENPAS UG cutoff has two components: a minimum qualifying cutoff (the score needed to appear in the merit list) and a closing rank for each college and course (decided during counselling). The qualifying cutoff uses a percentile system. The college-wise closing rank tells you how competitive a particular seat is.
JENPAS UG Previous Year Qualifying Cutoff Scores
Here are the minimum qualifying cutoff scores for the last two years, based on the percentile threshold:
| Category | Min. Qualifying Percentile | 2024 Cutoff Score (out of 115) | 2023 Cutoff Score (out of 115) |
|---|---|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | 50th Percentile | 23.50 | 27.17 |
| General-PwD | 45th Percentile | 22.42 | 25.83 |
| SC / ST / OBC-A / OBC-B / PwD | 40th Percentile | 21.33 | 24.50 |
Source: WBJEEB Official Portal
The cutoff dropped from 2023 to 2024, which suggests the 2024 paper was harder or the score distribution shifted. The 2026 cutoff will depend on the difficulty of the June 7 paper and the overall score distribution of candidates.
JENPAS UG 2024 Counselling Closing Ranks — Selected Colleges (General Category)
The closing rank from counselling gives you an idea of how competitive each seat is. A lower closing rank means more competition. Here are the Round 1 closing ranks for some top colleges in 2024:
| College | Course | Opening Rank | Closing Rank (Round 1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPGMER, Kolkata | BPT | 11 | 376 |
| College of Nursing, Burdwan Medical College | B.Sc. Nursing | 10 | 1,100 |
| College of Nursing, R.G. Kar Medical College, Kolkata | B.Sc. Nursing | 282 | 983 |
| IPGMER, Kolkata | B.Sc. Physician Assistant | 735 | 968 |
| College of Nursing, Asansol ESI Hospital | B.Sc. Nursing | 525 | 2,450 |
| B.M. Birla College of Nursing (Private) | B.Sc. Nursing | 6,531 | 7,741 |
Government medical college-affiliated nursing and paramedical colleges are the most competitive (lowest closing ranks). Private colleges have higher closing ranks, meaning candidates with lower ranks also get admission there. The 2026 closing ranks will be released during counselling rounds.
JENPAS UG 2026: Counselling Process
The JENPAS UG 2026 counselling will be conducted by WBJEEB after the result and merit list are announced. Based on 2025 timelines, counselling typically begins within 2 weeks of the result declaration. Last year, counselling registration opened on November 14, 2025, and Round 1 seat allotment was declared on November 20, 2025.

JENPAS UG 2026: Preparation Tips
With the JENPAS UG 2026 exam just around the corner — June 7, 2026 — this is the time to consolidate your preparation rather than start fresh topics. Here are targeted tips to help you perform well in the final days before the exam.
Subject-wise Preparation Strategy
- Biology is the top priority: In Paper I, all three science subjects account for 75 out of 115 marks. Biology chapters like Genetics and Evolution, Ecology, Human Physiology, and Reproduction in Organisms are high-yield. Revise NCERT diagrams and definitions carefully.
- Cover NCERT thoroughly: All Physics, Chemistry, and Biology questions in JENPAS UG are based on Class 11 and 12 NCERT syllabus. Go through chapter summaries, important formulas, and example problems.
- Health Aptitude is a scoring section: Many candidates underestimate this section, which is worth 20 marks. Topics like first aid, national health schemes, and basic anatomy can be revised quickly and give you easy marks.
- Basic English — do not skip: The English section is worth 20 marks and is generally easier than the science sections. Focus on grammar rules, synonyms and antonyms, and one-word substitutions to secure these marks.
- BHA candidates: revise Class 10 level: Physical Science and Mathematics in Paper II are at Class 10 level. Practice standard Class 10 problems for speed and accuracy.
Last-Week Exam Strategy
- Attempt previous year JENPAS UG question papers — WBJEEB provides old question papers on its official website
- Practise marking OMR sheets carefully — once a bubble is filled, it cannot easily be corrected
- For Category-1 questions, only attempt answers you are confident about — wrong answers reduce your score by 0.25 marks
- For Category-2 questions, attempt even partial answers — partial credit is given and there is no negative marking
- Allocate about 54 seconds per question — 90 minutes for 100 questions
- Revise previously solved weak areas, not new chapters
- Get a full night’s sleep before June 7 — avoid studying new topics the night before the exam
Exam Day Checklist
- Reach the exam centre at least 30 minutes before the reporting time
- Carry your printed JENPAS UG 2026 admit card (mandatory)
- Carry a valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving Licence)
- Bring your own blue or black ballpoint pen for the OMR sheet
- Do not carry a mobile phone, calculator, or any electronic device into the exam hall
- Read all instructions printed on the OMR sheet before you start answering
