JENPAS 2025 Counselling Registration Process Begins
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination Board (WBJEEB) has started the counselling process for JENPAS 2025 on November 14. Students seeking admission to BSc Nursing and paramedical courses can register on wbjeeb.nic.in until November 18. Candidates must pay Rs 500 as an application fee to participate in the admission process for both government and private institutions across West Bengal. The counselling will determine placements in various nursing and paramedical programs based on candidates' JENPAS exam performance. First round results will be announced on November 20, and those who receive seat allotments must pay Rs 1,000 as an acceptance fee to confirm their admission.
Important Changes and Eligibility Requirements
This year, WBJEEB has streamlined the counselling process to just two rounds – allotment and upgradation – eliminating the previously conducted mop-up round. For BSc Nursing programs in government colleges, only female candidates are eligible to apply, while some private institutions offer these courses exclusively for male students. Other paramedical programs accept applications from both genders. The board recommends that candidates select the maximum possible number of institutes during registration to increase their chances of securing a seat. Importantly, vacant seats in reserved categories will not be converted to general category seats during this counselling process.
