To participate in the WB JEPBN Counselling 2026 process, candidates must fulfill the following mandatory qualifications:
Academic Qualification: Must have passed GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) course and obtained registration from the West Bengal Nursing Council (WBNC) or any recognized State Nursing Council.
Rank Requirement: Must possess a valid Rank Card with a General Merit Rank (GMR) in JEPBN 2026.
Domicile & Category: Candidates seeking reserved seats (SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, EWS, PwD) must hold valid certificates issued by designated West Bengal state authorities.
The centralized e-counselling process for Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing involves four distinct stages:
Candidates log into wbjeeb.nic.in/jepbn/ using their JEPBN application number and password. Verify personal information, academic performance, domicile status, and pay the non-refundable counselling registration fee online using UPI, Net Banking, or Debit/Credit Cards.
Review the official seat matrix published by WBJEEB before filling choices. Candidates can select as many college choices as desired from available government and private nursing institutes. Submit and lock the preference list before the deadline for each respective round.
Seat allotment is processed strictly based on the candidate's JEPBN GMR, category ranks, seat availability, and submitted preferences. The result is published on the portal.
Candidates allotted a fresh seat must pay a seat acceptance fee online and download the allotment letter. They must report physically to the allotted nursing college with all original documents for verification within the specified deadline.
Candidates must carry the original certificates along with one set of self-attested photocopies during institute reporting:
JEPBN 2026 Rank Card & Admit Card
Class 10th Admit Card / Birth Certificate (for age proof)
GNM Mark Sheets (All Years/Semesters) and GNM Diploma Pass Certificate
West Bengal Nursing Council (WBNC) Registration Certificate (or State Nursing Council Registration)
WB JEPBN Provisional Seat Allotment Letter
Domicile Certificate (for state quota seats)
Category/Caste Certificate (SC/ST/OBC-A/OBC-B/EWS), if applicable

Participating in WB JEPBN Counselling 2026 requires strict adherence to round-wise deadlines published by the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board. Ensure all personal details match your WBNC registration documents to avoid disqualification during physical document verification. If you are allotted a seat in any round, paying the seat acceptance fee and reporting to the institute before 5:00 PM on the deadline date is mandatory to retain your seat or stay eligible for seat upgradation.
