The West Bengal Health Recruitment Board (WBHRB) is conducting the WBHRB Staff Nurse Grade II Recruitment 2025 to fill 5,018 nursing vacancies under the Department of Health & Family Welfare, Nursing Branch. Recently, WBHRB has issued an important notice, announcing the selection method for this recruitment cycle. Instead of using academic marks and work experience for preparing the merit list, WBHRB will now conduct a Computer-Based Test (CBT) followed by an Interview. This updated process will apply to the Staff Nurse Recruitment as well.
Since the CBT will now carry the major weightage (85 Marks) and the Interview will carry 15 Marks, candidates must shift their preparation strategy towards a competitive exam-based pattern. With thousands of applications expected, this change makes the exam more structured and merit-driven. To assist candidates in planning their preparation early, we’ve provided the detailed WBHRB Staff Nurse Syllabus 2025 and the expected CBT exam pattern based on previous recruitment trends, so you can begin preparation without waiting for the official syllabus release.
