The JEMScN 2027 syllabus is based on the B.Sc. and Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing courses. WBJEEB splits the 100-question paper into Part A, with 40 questions on basic and allied subjects, and Part B, with 60 questions on core nursing. The 2027 information bulletin, expected in March 2027, will confirm the list.

What is the JEMScN 2027 syllabus?
The JEMScN syllabus is the list of B.Sc. and Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing subjects in section 2.3 of the WBJEEB information bulletin. It has two parts.
| Part | Subjects | Questions |
|---|---|---|
| Part A | Anatomy, Physiology, Sociology, Psychology, Microbiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Genetics, Administration, Education, Research and Statistics | 40 |
| Part B | Foundation of Nursing, Medical Surgical Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, Psychiatric Nursing, Obstetrical Nursing, Community Health Nursing | 60 |
| Total | 100 |
JEMScN Part a Syllabus (40 Questions)
Part A covers the basic and allied subjects of the nursing degree. WBJEEB does not split the 40 questions subject-wise.
- Anatomy
- Physiology
- Sociology
- Psychology
- Microbiology
- Pathology
- Pharmacology
- Genetics
- Nursing Administration
- Nursing Education
- Nursing Research and Statistics
JEMScN Part B Syllabus (60 Questions)
Part B covers the clinical nursing subjects and carries more weight, with 60 of the 100 questions.
- Foundation of Nursing
- Medical Surgical Nursing
- Pediatric (Child Health) Nursing
- Psychiatric (Mental Health) Nursing
- Obstetrical Nursing
- Community Health Nursing
What is the JEMScN 2027 exam pattern and marking scheme?
Each correct answer gets 1 mark and each wrong answer loses 1/4 mark, in a 90-minute paper of 100 questions.
| Response | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct answer | +1 |
| Wrong answer | -1/4 |
| More than one option marked (even if one is correct) | -1/4 |
| Not attempted | 0 |
Higher marks in Part B are the first tie-breaker in the merit list, so Part B matters twice.
Where is the official JEMScN syllabus PDF?
WBJEEB prints the syllabus in the information bulletin, not as a separate PDF. The 2027 bulletin will be posted on the WBJEEB JEMScN page; until then, the 2026 bulletin below has the current list.

How to Prepare for the JEMScN 2027 Syllabus
- Start with Part B subjects, since they carry 60 questions and decide ties.
- Revise your B.Sc. Nursing textbooks for Medical Surgical, Obstetrical and Community Health Nursing in depth.
- Do not skip Administration, Education and Research and Statistics; they are short topics that carry Part A marks.
- Solve JEMScN previous year question papers in 90 minutes, which is about 54 seconds per question.
- Answer only when you can rule out at least two options, because each wrong answer costs 1/4 mark.
- Check your marking against the official final answer keys of past years to find weak subjects.
