The rest 24% respondents are unsure about the BSc nursing entrance exam's occurrence.

Why has JENPAS UG 2025 been delayed?

As per the news retrieved from a leading media house, the JENPAS UG 2025 exam has been delayed due to inadequate information collection in the centralised admission process. As per the sources, the ‘category’ details were not collected properly as per the order of the Calcutta High Court dated June 17. Therefore, an interim stay has been put on a new list of OBC communities prepared by the State Government. As the special leave petition related to this matter is currently pending before the Supreme Court, proper data collection during the application process cannot be completed at this stage. The delay of the JENPAS UG and other related entrance exams conducted in the state of West Bengal is due to this legal situation.
