Follow these simple steps to check your answers:

1. Visit the Official Website: Go to the official WBJEEB portal at wbjeeb.in or wbjeeb.nic.in/anm-gnm/.

2. Locate the Link: On the homepage, find and click on the link that reads “Model Answer Key – View & Challenge for ANM(R) & GNM 2026”.

3. Enter Login Credentials: A new login page will open. Enter your Application Number, Password (or Date of Birth), and the security captcha code shown on the screen.

4. View Response Sheet: Once logged in, your recorded responses along with the official model answer key will appear on the dashboard.

5. Download PDF: Click on the download button to save the answer key PDF for offline evaluation and future reference.

Important Note: Before you begin calculating your score, check the symbol printed on the lower-right corner of Page 7 of your original question booklet. This symbol indicates your question booklet series. Ensure you match your responses against the exact same series in the official key to avoid incorrect score calculations.

Marking Scheme: How to Calculate Your Estimated Score

By comparing the downloaded response sheet with the model answer key, candidates can estimate their prospective scores. The WB ANM GNM exam is divided into two categories of questions, and marks should be calculated based on the following pattern:

• Category 1 Questions: Each correct answer adds 1 mark. Every incorrect response results in a negative marking of 0.25 marks. Unattempted questions receive zero marks.

• Category 2 Questions: Each correct answer adds 2 marks. There is no negative marking for incorrect answers in this category.

To find your final estimated score, add up all the marks from your correct responses across both categories and subtract the total negative marks accumulated from Category 1.

Steps to Raise Objections Against the Provisional Answer Key

If a candidate spots a genuine error or discrepancy in the provisional answers provided by the board, WBJEEB provides an opportunity to challenge it. The objection window is open only from July 9 to July 11, 2026 (until 11:59 PM).

1. Log in to the candidate portal on the official website using your application number and password.

2. Click on the “Challenge Answer Key” link on your dashboard.

3. Select the specific question IDs you want to object to and select the answer you believe is correct.

4. Upload clear, valid supporting documents (like textbook references or solved explanations) to justify your claim.

5. Pay a non-refundable processing fee of ₹500 per challenged question using Net Banking, Debit Card, Credit Card, or UPI.

6. Review your challenge submissions and click on final submit.

The board will not accept any objections submitted after the July 11 deadline or without successful fee payment.

What Happens Next?

Following the closure of the objection window, a panel of subject matter experts at WBJEEB will thoroughly review all submitted challenges. If any objection is found to be valid, the answer key will be modified accordingly.

The board will then release a Final Answer Key, which cannot be challenged further. The official WB ANM GNM 2026 results and candidate rank cards will be compiled and declared based entirely on this revised final key. Qualified candidates will subsequently be called for the centralized state counselling process for admissions into various government and private nursing institutes across West Bengal.
