ANM/GNM 2026 Round 2 Seat Matrix: College-Wise Government GNM Seats, Category Breakup & Important Choice-Filling Rules

25 August 2026 min read

The WB ANM(R) & GNM 2026 Round 2 counselling process is now at the allotment stage, with the Round 2 seat allotment result scheduled for 26 August 2026. WBJEEB conducted Round 2 registration and choice filling from 22 to 24 August, while reporting, document verification and admission for applicable candidates will run from 26 to 29 August 2026. � S3WAAS One of the most searched topics before the result is the ANM/GNM Round 2 college-wise seat matrix—especially government GNM colleges. There is, however, a very important clarification about the seat-matrix screenshots circulating among candidates. Important: “Total Intake” Is Not the Same as “Round 2 Vacant Seats” The screenshots provided from the official NIC/WBJEEB counselling portal show the heading: Total Intake and list the approved seat distribution for institutes under columns such as: Open Open (PwD) OBC OBC (PwD) SC SC (PwD) ST ST (PwD) EWS EWS (PwD) Civil Defence Orphan Total Seats These figures should not be described as the number of seats still vacant after Round 1. For example, the screenshot shows SSKM GNM with 100 total seats and North Bengal MCH with 100 seats. That represents the approved intake/category distribution—not evidence that all 100 seats are still empty in Round 2. WBJEEB's counselling notification says admissions are conducted against the approved seat matrix supplied by the Department of Health & Family Welfare, Government of West Bengal, after the prescribed verification. � S3WAAS So for your website, the safest title is: ANM/GNM 2026 Round 2 Seat Matrix: College-Wise Government GNM Intake & Category-Wise Seats rather than: “Round 2 Vacant Seats” unless WBJEEB publishes a separate actual vacancy figure. ANM/GNM Round 2 Counselling 2026: Important Dates Event Date Round 1 Allotment 19 August 2026 Round 2 Registration & Choice Filling 22–24 August 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment Result 26 August 2026 Round 2 Seat Acceptance / Reporting / DV / Admission 26–29 August 2026 Withdrawal 26–29 August 2026 Round 3 Registration & Choice Filling 31 Aug–1 Sep 2026 Round 3 Seat Allotment 3 September 2026 Round 3 Reporting 3–6 September 2026 Round 3 is the final centralized counselling round and will be conducted against vacancies remaining after completion of Round 2. � S3WAAS Official ANM/GNM Seat Matrix Portal WBJEEB currently provides an official: Seat Matrix of ANM(R) & GNM Counselling 2026 link on the ANM/GNM page. � WBJEE Board The official NIC seat-matrix portal allows candidates to filter by: Round No. Institute Type Institute Programme Gender Quota. � Admissions Check ANM/GNM 2026 Seat Matrix⁠� Candidates should use this official tool rather than relying only on screenshots forwarded through WhatsApp, Telegram or Facebook. Government Female GNM Seat Matrix 2026 The screenshots you provided show the State Government + GNM + Female Seats + Home State section of the matrix. Across the 39 government GNM institute rows visible in the screenshots, the total approved intake adds up to: 2,687 seats This number refers to the visible total-intake dataset, not confirmed Round 2 remaining vacancies.

Because the screenshots show Total Intake, these should be described as approved college-wise seats, not as “2,687 seats vacant in Round 2.” Highest-Intake Government GNM Colleges Several government institutes in the displayed matrix have an approved intake of: 100 GNM seats including: SSKM Hospital D M Govt. MCH Lalgarh College of Medicine & Sagar Dutta MCH Bardhaman MCH Tamrolipto Govt. MCH North Bengal MCH Suri District Hospital Jhargram and Uluberia show 90 seats, while Bankura Sammilani MCH shows 95 seats. But a larger total intake does not automatically mean a larger Round 2 vacancy. A 100-seat institution may have only a few seats left after Round 1, while a smaller institution can sometimes show proportionally more movement. Category-Wise Distribution Across the 39 Visible Government GNM Institutes Adding the category columns shown in the screenshots gives approximately: Category shown in matrix Seats in visible 39-college dataset Open 1,267 Open PwD 74 OBC 192 OBC PwD 0 SC 555 SC PwD 35 ST 163 ST PwD 0 EWS 265 EWS PwD 9 Civil Defence 74 Orphan 53 Total 2,687 Again, these are intake-category totals from the visible screenshots, not Round 2 vacancy totals. Major Kolkata Government GNM Colleges: Category-Wise Intake For candidates particularly interested in Kolkata and nearby colleges, the screenshots provide useful details. School of Nursing, Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata Category Seats Open 27 Open PwD 1 OBC 4 SC 11 SC PwD 1 ST 3 EWS 6 Civil Defence 1 Orphan 1 Total 55 NRS Medical College GNM Category Seats Open 34 Open PwD 2 OBC 5 SC 14 SC PwD 1 ST 4 EWS 7 Civil Defence 2 Orphan 1 Total 70 R G Kar Medical College GNM Category Seats Open 30 Open PwD 2 OBC 5 SC 13 SC PwD 1 ST 4 EWS 7 Civil Defence 2 Orphan 1 Total 65 SSKM Hospital GNM Category Seats Open 47 Open PwD 3 OBC 7 SC 21 SC PwD 1 ST 6 EWS 9 EWS PwD 1 Civil Defence 3 Orphan 2 Total 100 Lady Dufferin Victoria Hospital GNM Category Seats Open 27 Open PwD 1 OBC 4 SC 11 SC PwD 1 ST 3 EWS 6 Civil Defence 1 Orphan 1 Total 55 M R Bangur Hospital GNM Category Seats Open 19 Open PwD 1 OBC 3 SC 9 ST 2 EWS 4 Civil Defence 1 Orphan 1 Total 40 These totals help candidates understand the relative size of the seat pool, but Round 2 allotment will ultimately depend on what remains available after Round 1 movement. Why Round 2 Vacancies Are Lower Than Total Intake Consider SSKM: Approved GNM intake: 100 After Round 1: many candidates may already have accepted seats; some may have selected NO Upgradation; some YES-Upgradation candidates still hold their seat; some seats may be released through upgrade; some seats may return because of non-reporting or document rejection. Therefore the number actually available for a new Round 2 candidate could be much smaller than 100. The same principle applies to every college. What Creates New Seats in Round 2? Round 2 movement can happen because a Round 1 candidate: gets upgraded to a higher preference; does not pay the applicable seat-acceptance fee; fails document verification; has category/domicile eligibility changed; does not complete required admission; withdraws where permitted. That freed seat can then enter the allotment chain for another eligible candidate. Reserved Seats Will Not Automatically Become Open Seats This is especially important when interpreting a category-wise matrix. WBJEEB explicitly states that it will not convert/de-reserve vacant seats in SC, ST, OBC, EWS, Civil Defence, Orphan, PwD and other reserved categories into General/Open seats in any counselling round. � S3WAAS So if a college shows: 5 SC seats that does not mean an Open-category candidate should count those as five extra Open opportunities. Round 2 Fresh Choice: Important Warning From the Portal One of your screenshots shows the actual WBJEEB Round 2 consent screen. It says candidates eligible for fresh choices are asked: Do you want to submit completely fresh choices in Round 2? The consequence is extremely important. If the candidate selects: YES their existing provisional allotment, if any, is cancelled and treated as null and void, and the candidate must submit a completely fresh choice list. The official counselling notification confirms the same rule: if an eligible existing candidate opts for fresh choices in Round 2 or Round 3, the previous choice list and previous allotment, if any, are cancelled. � S3WAAS +1 What Does “NO” Mean on the Fresh Choice Screen? The portal screenshot states that selecting: NO means the candidate continues with the: existing locked choice list for the next round. Therefore: YES Fresh list required; previous choice list/current provisional allotment cancelled. NO Continue with existing locked choices. This is different from the later YES/NO Upgradation decision after allotment and document verification. Candidates should not mix the two concepts. Who Was Eligible for Fresh Choice Filling in Round 2? WBJEEB lists the following categories: Freshly registered candidates in Round 2. Candidates who received no seat in Round 1. Candidates allotted a second/later choice in Round 1 but who were non-responsive. Candidates whose Round 1 seat was cancelled during document verification. � S3WAAS A Round 1 candidate who accepted a second/later choice with YES Upgradation automatically proceeds with the existing choice list and is not eligible for fresh choice filling in the immediately following round. � S3WAAS How Seat Allotment Is Actually Decided A large seat matrix does not guarantee a seat. WBJEEB states that allotment is based on: General Merit Rank (GMR) institute/course eligibility reservation/category availability of seats order of submitted and locked choices. � S3WAAS Therefore the useful formula is: GMR + Category + Actual Available Seat + Choice Order = Allotment Chance not merely: Total Seats = Chance How Candidates Should Use the Seat Matrix

Check Your Course Do not mix: ANM with: GNM. ANM and GNM have separate institutions and seat pools.
Check Gender WBJEEB confirms: ANM(R) Only female candidates are eligible. GNM Female candidates are eligible except for male-only GNM institutions; male candidates are eligible for GNM only at designated male institutes. � S3WAAS The screenshots provided here specifically show: Female Seats for GNM.
Check Institute Type Government and self-financing seats should be analysed separately. A private college having 100 seats does not provide the same counselling situation as a high-demand government hospital with 50 seats.
Check Your Relevant Category Open candidates should primarily consider Open-category availability. SC, ST, OBC and EWS candidates should check their eligible reserved category as well as the allotment rules applicable to them.
Compare With Round 1 OR-CR After identifying suitable colleges, compare your GMR against the official Round 1 closing rank. A candidate whose rank is only slightly outside Round 1 CR can have a more realistic Round 2 chance than someone thousands of ranks away. High Intake Does Not Mean Low Cut-Off For example: SSKM — 100 total seats yet SSKM is highly preferred. Meanwhile another district institute may also have: 60 or 65 seats but may show a numerically higher closing rank because fewer candidates place it near the top of their preference list. Cut-off depends on: demand; available seats; category; GMR; location preference; choice order. Why District Government Colleges Matter in Round 2 Candidates focusing only on Kolkata often overlook government seats in: Cooch Behar Alipurduar Jalpaiguri Kalimpong Darjeeling Balurghat Jhargram Bankura Murshidabad Purba Medinipur Paschim Medinipur Nadia Purulia. If the goal is specifically: “Any Government GNM Seat” rather than: “Only Kolkata Government College” a broader preference list generally improves the probability of allotment. WBJEEB advises candidates to choose the maximum possible number of suitable institutes and specifically recommends at least 20 choices. � S3WAAS ANM Seat Matrix Must Be Checked Separately The screenshots supplied here are primarily from the Government Female GNM section. They should not be presented as the complete ANM + GNM matrix. For ANM: select ANM(R) in the official seat-matrix portal; select female gender; choose the relevant institute type/quota; check college-wise category distribution separately. This distinction is important for SEO as well as accuracy. A good article can say: “Below is the Government Female GNM college-wise matrix visible in the supplied official screenshots. Candidates seeking ANM or male GNM seats should use the official filters because their seat matrix is different.” Is Round 2 Result Tomorrow? Yes. WBJEEB's official schedule fixes the: Round 2 Seat Allotment Result — 26 August 2026 with reporting/DV/admission for applicable candidates from: 26 to 29 August 2026. � S3WAAS As of 25 August, WBJEEB's live ANM/GNM page still shows Fresh Registration & Choice Filling Round 2 on the Candidate Activity Board and has not yet shown the Round 2 result link. � WBJEE Board What Happens After Round 2 Result? If you get your first choice Complete required document verification and admission. If you are allotted a second/later choice for the first time Complete seat-acceptance/DV requirements and choose applicable YES or NO Upgradation. If you are upgraded Your old allotment is replaced by the new one. If you receive no seat You remain eligible for the next round according to counselling rules and may have a fresh-choice option depending on status. � S3WAAS Round 3 Seat Matrix Will Be More Important for Actual Vacancies This is another key distinction. WBJEEB explicitly says: Round 3 will be conducted against vacancies remaining after completion of Round 2. � S3WAAS Therefore, after the August 26–29 admission process ends, the Round 3 vacancy position will be much more directly tied to actual seats left after Round 2. Round 3: Choice Filling 31 August–1 September Allotment 3 September Reporting 3–6 September 2026. � S3WAAS Common Mistakes While Reading the Seat Matrix Calling Total Intake the Round 2 vacancy. Thinking SSKM's 100 intake means 100 seats remain. Adding SC/ST/OBC vacancies to Open-category availability. Ignoring PwD/special-seat columns. Mixing ANM and GNM. Ignoring gender restrictions. Comparing private-college vacancy patterns with government colleges. Choosing a college only because it has a larger intake. Ignoring Round 1 OR-CR. Selecting fresh choice “YES” without understanding that an existing provisional allotment can be cancelled. Assuming an old screenshot will remain accurate after the counselling authority updates the matrix. Treating a seat matrix as a guaranteed cut-off prediction. Frequently Asked Questions Is the ANM/GNM Round 2 seat matrix available? WBJEEB provides an official ANM(R) & GNM 2026 Seat Matrix portal with filters for round, institute type, institute, programme, gender and quota. � Admissions Are the numbers in these screenshots Round 2 vacant seats? No. The screenshots are explicitly labelled “Total Intake.” They show college/category-wise approved intake. They should not automatically be described as unfilled Round 2 vacancies. How many seats are shown across the government female GNM screenshots? The 39 visible government GNM rows add up to: 2,687 total approved seats across the displayed institutes. Which colleges show 100 GNM seats? Among the screenshots: SSKM Hospital D M Govt MCH Lalgarh College of Medicine & Sagar Dutta MCH Bardhaman MCH Tamrolipto Govt MCH North Bengal MCH Suri District Hospital show 100 total seats each. How many seats does Medical College Kolkata GNM have? The displayed matrix shows: 55 seats for the School of Nursing, Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata. How many seats does NRS GNM have? 70 seats in the displayed matrix. How many seats does R G Kar GNM have? 65 seats. How many seats does Barasat MCH GNM have? 75 seats. How many seats does North Bengal MCH GNM have? 100 seats. How many seats does Lady Dufferin GNM have? 55 seats. When is Round 2 result? 26 August 2026. � S3WAAS Does choosing fresh choice “YES” keep my existing allotment safe? No. WBJEEB states that an eligible candidate opting for a completely fresh choice list will have the previous choice list and previous allotment, if any, cancelled. � S3WAAS If I select “NO” on the fresh-choice consent screen? You continue with the existing locked choice list, according to the portal instruction shown in the counselling screen. Final Words The biggest point candidates must understand is: Seat Matrix ≠ Round 2 Vacancy List The government GNM screenshots show the approved total intake and category distribution. Across the 39 visible government female GNM institutes, that dataset contains 2,687 seats, but many of those seats have already been involved in Round 1 allotment. For Round 2, the actual chance depends on: your GMR
