M.Sc. Nursing entrance preparation

What will this preparation course help me work towards?

The medhaup course is for JEPBN aspirants targeting Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing admission in West Bengal. It is entrance preparation; the degree is offered by the admitting nursing institution.

What should I revise for JEPBN?

Start with your GNM curriculum. Use the Part A and Part B subject lists below to organise your revision, then practise with the official previous-year papers. WBJEEB gives part totals, without fixed question counts for individual subjects.

Can I request updates while I am studying GNM?

Yes. You can ask about the preparation course while studying. A course enquiry does not confirm eligibility for the entrance examination or admission; read the qualification and registration requirements before applying.

Is JEPBN the same as JENPAS(UG)?

They are separate examinations. JEPBN is the Post Basic Nursing pathway for GNM-qualified applicants; JENPAS(UG) covers undergraduate nursing and allied health entry. Use the page and official bulletin that match your intended degree.
