Late Fee Phase Begins for WBUHS Nursing Applications After Deadline Extension
WBUHS has extended the B.Sc Nursing registration for the 2025-26 batch. A structured late fee phase starts after March 25 for candidates missing the deadline.
The West Bengal University of Health Sciences (WBUHS) has issued a critical notification regarding the university registration process for the B.Sc. Nursing academic session of 2025-26. While the original timeline has been adjusted to assist students, the registration portal is now moving into a structured late fee phase. According to the official memo released by the university registrar, the window for regular registration at the standard fee of ₹2,500 remains open only until the end of the day on March 25, 2026.
This university-level registration is a mandatory step for all students already admitted to nursing colleges affiliated with WBUHS. It serves as the official enrollment record required for students to be eligible for future university examinations and professional licensing. The university has clarified that candidates who fail to complete their registration by the current deadline will be required to pay additional penalties to access the portal in the coming weeks.
Structured Late Fee Schedule and Penalties
To maintain the academic calendar, WBUHS has implemented a multi-stage fee structure for those who miss the primary registration window. Starting from tomorrow, March 26, the first tier of late fees will be applied to all new submissions. The university has designed these slabs to encourage early completion and to ensure that student data can be verified by their respective colleges in a timely manner.
The late fee increases significantly as time progresses, eventually doubling the total cost of registration for those who delay until the final weeks of the portal's availability. Candidates must process these payments through the integrated online gateway on the university's official website. It is important to note that the mere payment of fees does not guarantee a registration number; all academic documents must be in order and verified by the institution.
| Registration Phase | Basic Fee | Late Fee | Total Amount |
| Up to March 25, 2026 | ₹2,500 | Nil | ₹2,500 |
| March 26 – April 20, 2026 | ₹2,500 | ₹500 | ₹3,000 |
| April 21 – May 20, 2026 | ₹2,500 | ₹2,500 | ₹5,000 |
| College Verification Deadline | N/A | N/A | May 21, 2026 |
Mandatory Guidelines for Candidate Registration
The university has laid down strict instructions for both students and affiliated nursing colleges to ensure data integrity. Students are required to upload scanned copies of their original documents, including class 10 and 12 marksheets, allotment letters, and valid identification. Any discrepancy or falsification of data during this process will lead to the immediate rejection of the application and the forfeiture of all fees paid.
Affiliated colleges have been given a final deadline of May 21, 2026, to verify the data of their newly admitted students. This internal verification is the final step before the university generates and issues formal registration numbers. Without this number, a student's years of study may not be recognized by the Indian Nursing Council (INC) or the West Bengal Nursing Council (WBNC). Candidates are advised to use the "I Need Help" section on the portal to resolve any technical issues before final submission.
Entrance Exam Updates for 2026 Aspirants
While the current registration process handles the 2025-26 batch, WBUHS and the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) are also moving forward with the next cycle of admissions. The registration for the JENPAS UG 2026, which is the entrance test for the 2026-27 nursing session, officially started today, March 24, 2026. This entrance exam is the gateway for fresh applicants seeking a seat in B.Sc. Nursing and various paramedical courses across the state.
The JENPAS UG 2026 examination is scheduled to be held on June 7, 2026. For candidates looking at Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing, the JEPBN 2026 application process is tentatively set to begin on April 1. These overlapping timelines mean that while current students are finalizing their university enrollment, new aspirants are beginning their journey toward medical education in West Bengal. For the latest official bulletins and time tables, users should refer to the WBJEEB official website.
Conclusion
The registration portal for WBUHS B.Sc. Nursing is currently in its final hours for regular fee submissions. With the first late fee slab beginning on March 26, students must ensure their applications are completed immediately to avoid financial penalties. The transition into the late fee phase is part of a broader effort to finalize the 2025-26 enrollment records before the upcoming June examinations. Staying updated with the official university notices is the most reliable way to manage these deadlines and secure professional recognition.
