The wait is finally over for thousands of aspiring nurses in West Bengal. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) has officially declared the results for the ANM and GNM 2023 Entrance Examination, opening the door to admission for Auxiliary Nursing & Midwifery and General Nursing & Midwifery courses across the state.

This isn't just a scorecard—it's the key to starting a career in healthcare in one of India's most populous states.
How to Access Your Result Card
Navigating government websites can sometimes feel like solving a puzzle, but WBJEEB has kept it straightforward this time. Here’s exactly what you need to do to get your hands on that result:
- Head over to the official website: wbjeeb.nic.in.
- Look for the tab labeled "ANM and GNM" on the homepage.

- Enter your credentials (usually application number and date of birth) if prompted.
- View and download your rank card for future reference.
It’s worth noting that both Scroll.in and The Times of India confirmed these steps shortly after the release. If you hit a snag, try clearing your cache or switching browsers—technical glitches are common when thousands of users log in simultaneously.
Why This Exam Matters
This isn't just another test. The ANM (Auxiliary Nursing & Midwifery) and GNM (General Nursing & Midwifery) exams are the gateway to critical healthcare roles. The ANM course is a two-year program focused on community health and basic nursing care, while the GNM is a three-year diploma that offers more advanced clinical training.
With the healthcare sector facing ongoing staffing shortages, especially post-pandemic, these positions are more vital than ever. Securing a seat through WBJEEB means you’re stepping into a profession with high demand and social impact. The board, established in 1962 and formalized under the West Bengal Act XIV of 2014, acts as the statutory authority ensuring fair selection for these professional courses.
What Comes Next? Counseling and Admissions
Getting a good score is only half the battle. Once you’ve downloaded your result, keep an eye on the "Current Events" section of the WBJEEB portal. The next phase will involve counseling and seat allocation.
Based on previous years' patterns, candidates will likely need to:
- Verify their documents online or offline.
- Participate in e-counseling sessions to choose preferred colleges.
- Complete fee payments within strict deadlines.
Don’t ignore the notices regarding PwD (Persons with Disabilities) verification or other category-specific updates. Missing a deadline here can cost you a seat, no matter how high your rank.
A Look Ahead: The 2026 Cycle
While 2023 results are the focus now, the board is already planning ahead. For those who missed out or want to retake the exam, note that the ANM(R) & GNM-2026West Bengal examination is scheduled for June 14, 2026. Online registration for that cycle is expected to open from March 25 to April 22, 2026.
The structure remains consistent: an OMR-based Common Entrance Test. This predictability helps students plan better. If you’re aiming for the 2026 session, start preparing early. The competition is fierce, and the cut-offs tend to rise each year.
