Cut-offs

WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 Cutoff

The WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 cutoff is the minimum score required to qualify for counselling. It applies to both Auxiliary Nursing and Midwifery (ANM) and General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) courses in West Bengal. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) releases the cutoff along with the rank card on its official website, wbjeeb.nic.in.

The 2026 exam was held on June 14, 2026. The 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.

Expected Category-Wise Cutoff Marks

The expected qualifying cutoff marks are based on previous year trends. These are approximate figures for the 2026 exam.

Category Expected Qualifying Marks (out of 115)
General 76–82
SC 62–68
ST 57–63
OBC-A 68–74

The same qualifying cutoff applies to both ANM and GNM courses. Your course preference is locked in only during seat allotment.

Key Points About the Cutoff

  • The 2026 cutoff has not been released yet. It will be published with the result at wbjeeb.nic.in in July 2026.
  • General category students need approximately 76–82 marks out of 115 to qualify, based on 2025 trends.
  • The General category cutoff has risen by about 11 marks over the last four counselling cycles.
  • Competition for nursing seats has grown steadily.
  • Around 500 ANM and 2,817 GNM seats are available.

Types of Cutoff

There are two types of cutoffs for this exam. The qualifying cutoff is the minimum score to get a rank card and enter counselling. The admission cutoff, or closing mark, is the score of the last student admitted in a specific round.

The admission cutoff varies by institute and category. You can meet the qualifying cutoff but still miss your preferred college. Your score must also match that college's closing mark in counselling.

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.

Category Expected Cutoff Range (out of 115) Eligibility on Meeting Cutoff
UR / General 76 – 82 Eligible for counselling
OBC-A 68 – 74 Eligible for counselling
OBC-B 64 – 70 Eligible for counselling
SC 62 – 68 Eligible for counselling
ST 57 – 63 Eligible for counselling
PwD 52 – 58 Eligible for counselling

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.

WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 Cutoff: Expected Closing Marks

The WBJEE ANM GNM 2026 cutoff is expected to be announced in July 2026. This cutoff is the minimum qualifying mark for admission. 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.

The cutoff has risen steadily over the past four years. The General category cutoff has increased by about 3 marks per year from 2022 to 2025. If exam difficulty was similar to 2025, a rise of 2–4 marks in the General cutoff is likely. The official cutoff will be confirmed when WBJEEB releases the 2026 result.

Will the 2026 cutoff be higher than last year?

Based on the trend from 2022 to 2025, the General category cutoff has risen by about 3 marks per year. If exam difficulty was similar to 2025, a rise of 2–4 marks in the General cutoff is likely. The official cutoff will be confirmed when WBJEEB releases the 2026 result in July 2026.

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.

Institute Type Approximate Closing Marks – General (out of 115) Approximate Closing Marks – SC (out of 115)
Top Government Nursing Schools (e.g., SSKM, NRS, NBMC) 88 – 102+ 75 – 88
Mid-Tier Government Nursing Schools 78 – 90 68 – 80
Private Aided Nursing Schools 72 – 82 62 – 72
Private Unaided Nursing Schools 65 – 76 56 – 66

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.

Year UR / General OBC-A OBC-B SC ST PwD
2025 76 – 79 68 – 71 64 – 68 62 – 65 57 – 61 52 – 55
2024 73 – 76 65 – 68 61 – 64 59 – 62 54 – 57 49 – 52
2023 69 – 72 61 – 64 57 – 60 55 – 58 51 – 54 46 – 49
2022 65 – 68 58 – 61 54 – 57 51 – 54 47 – 50 43 – 46

These are 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.

Why does the cutoff keep rising every year?

The total seat count has stayed at around 3,300 while the number of applicants has grown each year. More students competing for the same seats pushes up the average performance needed to qualify. Better access to coaching and practice papers also helps students score higher. This drives the cutoff upward each cycle.

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.

Counselling Round Expected Timeline (2026) What Happens
Round 1 August 2026 (expected) First allotment based on rank and choice filling. Seats at top institutes fill up here.
Round 2 August – September 2026 (expected) Unfilled seats reopened. Students who missed Round 1 or want to upgrade get another chance.
Mop-Up Round September 2026 (expected) Remaining vacant seats filled. Closing marks may drop slightly at lower-demand institutes.

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.

Expected Safe Score for WBJEE ANM GNM 2026

A safe score clears the qualifying cutoff and gives you a strong rank for counselling. The table below shows target scores based on your category and the type of institute you are aiming for.

Category Safe Score for Qualifying (out of 115) Safe Score for Top Government Institutes (out of 115)
UR / General 82 and above 92 and above
OBC-A 74 and above 84 and above
OBC-B 70 and above 80 and above
SC 68 and above 78 and above
ST 63 and above 73 and above
PwD 58 and above 68 and above

These targets give you a buffer above the qualifying cutoff. If you scored near the qualifying cutoff, you will still get a rank card. Your options in counselling may be limited to lower-demand or private institutes.

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.

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.
