JENPAS UG Expected Cutoff 2026 LIVE: College-wise cutoff ranks, answer key & result date

06 00 PM IST - 08 Jun'26

Specialized Paramedical Divergence: BMLT vs. BPT Closing Trends

For students prioritizing allied health sciences over nursing, the choice between Medical Laboratory Technology (BMLT) and Physiotherapy (BPT) highlights distinct cutoff behaviors. At institutional hubs like the College of Paramedical & Allied Health Sciences, Kalyani, open-quota BMLT seats frequently close around 556 GMR, whereas BPT configurations offer an extended runway, making them highly accessible options for various scoring brackets.

05 00 PM IST - 08 Jun'26

The "Category 2" Scoring System: The Top-Tier Rank Decider

A key factor shaping today's cutoffs is how candidates handle Category 2 questions (multiple correct choices, no negative marking). Because partial marks are awarded based on identifying correct combinations, candidates who excel in this section typically secure the top 500 GMR positions, breaking ties without risking deduction penalties.

04 00 PM IST - 08 Jun'26

Regional Cutoff Divergence: Kolkata Core vs. District Medical Colleges

When setting up your preference lists, remember that geography heavily drives the closing rank patterns. Premier city venues like S.S.K.M. Hospital traditionally close open merit nursing allocations within the top 340 GMR slots. Conversely, equally reputable district options like College of Medicine & J.N.M. Hospital, Kalyani stretch their limits out to 1,785 GMR, offering a solid alternative for mid-tier rank holders.

Analyzing the 2024 Score Base Layer for 2026 Projections

Looking back at the 2024 cycle provides a precise understanding of the 2026 scoring environment. In 2024, the 50th percentile qualifying threshold for General/EWS candidates settled at exactly 30.7500 marks out of 115. This baseline shows that because of negative marking penalties, a candidate does not need to answer every question to qualify; strategic accuracy is what preserves a top-tier General Merit Rank (GMR).

02 00 PM IST - 08 Jun'26

Tie-Breaking Metrics for 2026 Rank Generation

In the event that multiple candidates secure identical scores out of 115, WBJEEB uses a step-by-step tie-breaking sequence to determine the higher GMR:

1. Biology Marks: A higher score in the Biology section takes precedence.

2. Chemistry Marks: If a tie remains, the higher score in Chemistry is preferred.

3. Physics Marks: Next, the higher score in Physics is evaluated.

4. Negative Scores: The candidate with fewer total negative marks across the entire paper receives a better rank.

01 00 PM IST - 08 Jun'26

Publication of the Final Answer Key

After addressing all student grievances and OMR challenges, the board will publish the definitive Final Answer Key, mostly in the first week of July. This finalized document serves as the absolute benchmark for evaluating the OMR scripts, and no further complaints or corrections will be allowed against it.

12 00 PM IST - 08 Jun'26

Challenging OMR Response Captures

If a candidate feels the OMR reading machine misread a shaded bubble, they can submit an OMR challenge through the portal. This also requires a non-refundable payment of Rs. 500 per response reviewed. No review requests are accepted via offline mail or after this specified window closes.

11 00 AM IST - 08 Jun'26

Scanned OMR Images Uploaded Online

Simultaneously with or shortly after the provisional key review, WBJEEB will upload the actual scanned images of candidates' OMR sheets along with their recorded responses. This stage ensures complete transparency, allowing students to verify that the automated machine reads their shaded bubbles accurately.

10 00 AM IST - 08 Jun'26

Activation of the Answer Key Challenge Window

If a candidate finds a legitimate discrepancy or error in the board's provisional key, WBJEEB will provide a strict 48-to-72-hour online challenge window.

• Processing Fee: Candidates must pay a non-refundable online processing fee of ₹500 per question challenged.

• Review Process: The board's internal expert panel reviews all submitted challenges. If an error is verified, the key is corrected for all test-takers.

09 00 AM IST - 08 Jun'26

Model Answer Key Publication via Portal

WBJEEB will officially host the provisional (Model) Answer Keys for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 on its dashboard (wbjeeb.nic.in). Candidates must log in using their application number and password to download their session-specific question booklet code key (Series A, B, C, or D).

08 00 AM IST - 08 Jun'26

Tallying Scores with Category-Based Marking

When using unofficial keys, candidates must calculate scores using WBJEEB’s dual-category format:

• Category 1 (Single Option Correct): +1 mark for correct answers; -0.25 mark for incorrect answers.

• Category 2 (Multiple Options Correct): +2 marks if all correct options are selected; no negative marking; partial marks are given if some correct options are marked without any wrong options.
