The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has officially commenced the counselling process for admission into Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery (ANM) and General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) courses for the 2026-27 academic session. This critical phase of the admissions cycle began today, August 14, 2026, marking the start of registration and choice filling for eligible candidates.
Individuals who have successfully qualified for the West Bengal ANM(R) and GNM admission examination are now invited to participate in the centralized e-counselling procedure. This entire process is facilitated through the official WBJEEB website, ensuring a streamlined and accessible application experience. The board has issued an important directive to all applicants, emphasizing the necessity of thoroughly reviewing the eligibility criteria and ensuring timely completion of each step within the stipulated deadlines to avoid any complications.
The initial phase of this extensive counselling process is scheduled to run from August 14 to August 17. During this crucial window, prospective students can complete their registration, submit the required counselling fee, and meticulously fill in their preferred choices of colleges or institutions. An essential feature of this period is the flexibility provided to candidates to modify and, subsequently, lock their choices. Once choices are locked, they become final and will be the basis for the subsequent seat allotment. Therefore, applicants are strongly advised to exercise utmost caution and careful consideration when finalizing their preferences.
The highly anticipated first round of seat allotment results is slated for announcement on August 19. Following this, candidates who are allotted seats in any round will be required to promptly complete the necessary admission formalities within the specified timeframe. These formalities include the payment of a seat acceptance fee and reporting to the allotted institution for comprehensive document verification, which is a mandatory step before final admission.
For those looking to navigate the application process, the WBJEEB has outlined clear steps. Candidates should begin by visiting the official WBJEEB website at wbjeeb.nic.in and selecting the ANM & GNM section. From there, they need to locate and click on the link pertaining to ANM & GNM 2026 counselling or e-Counselling. The next step involves completing the registration procedure by accurately filling in all required details and utilizing the credentials requested by the board. Payment of the prescribed counselling fee must be made through the designated online payment system. Subsequently, candidates can proceed to select their desired institutes or colleges, arranging them in a preferred order. Throughout the choice-filling period, applicants have the opportunity to review and modify their preference lists. However, it is imperative to lock these choices before the designated deadline, after a final thorough check. Upon the declaration of the first round seat allotment on August 19, successful candidates must pay the seat acceptance fee before its deadline and then visit their allotted college or institute for document verification and admission within the given period. Alternatively, a direct link is available on the official website for immediate access to the application portal.
Aspirants are strongly encouraged to regularly monitor the official WBJEEB website for the most current updates and announcements concerning the ANM and GNM counselling process.
