JANMCE-2025 — Download Response Sheet & Raise Objection
The Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) has released the provisional answer key for the Jharkhand Auxiliary Nurse Midwife Competitive Examination (JANMCE-2025), conducted on 18 and 19 March 2026 for 3,181 Female Health Worker (ANM) posts under Advertisement Nos. 03/2025 and 04/2025. Candidates can now download their individual response sheet and compare it with the provisional answer key. If any answer appears incorrect, candidates can raise an objection through the dedicated online objection portal at jmc25a7k9.cbtexam.in or via the official JSSC website jssc.jharkhand.gov.in. Login credentials required: Registration Number and Date of Birth (in YYYYMMDD format).
Visit the Official JSSC Portal or the CBT Objection Portal
Open your browser and go to jssc.jharkhand.gov.in (JSSC's official website) OR directly visit the dedicated CBT exam portal at jmc25a7k9.cbtexam.in — both provide access to the answer key and response sheet. The CBT portal link provided in your exam communication is the more direct route for individual response sheet access. Make sure you have your Registration Number and Date of Birth ready before logging in. 📌
Navigate to the Answer Key / Objection Section
On the JSSC homepage, look for the "Answer Key", "Latest Updates", or "Important Links" section. Click the link titled "Provisional Answer Key / Response Sheet for JANMCE-2025" or similar. On the CBT portal (jmc25a7k9.cbtexam.in), look for the "Objection / Response Sheet" login panel which is displayed directly on the page. 📌
Log In with Registration Number and Date of Birth
Enter your Registration Number / Roll Number in the first field. In the Date of Birth field, enter your DOB in the format YYYYMMDD — for example, if your date of birth is 1 February 1998, enter 19980201. Complete the Captcha verification shown on the page (if prompted, click "Reload Captcha" if the image is unclear). Click the Login or Submit button. 📌
View Your Response Sheet and the Provisional Answer Key
After logging in, your individual response sheet (the answers you marked during the exam) will be displayed alongside the provisional answer key (the correct answers as declared by JSSC). Go through each question carefully — compare your marked response with the provisional correct answer. Note down the question numbers where you believe the answer key is incorrect or where your response was marked differently than what you intended to select. 📌
Download and Save the Answer Key PDF
Download the answer key PDF to your device and save it. Also take a screenshot or printout of your response sheet for personal records. You will need this saved copy to cross-verify after the final answer key is released. If you plan to raise objections, note the specific question numbers you wish to challenge before closing the session. 📌
Log In to the Objection Portal
Go to jmc25a7k9.cbtexam.in (the dedicated objection portal for this exam, as specified in the user-provided link). Log in using your Registration Number and Date of Birth in YYYYMMDD format, then complete the captcha. This takes you to your personalised candidate dashboard where your response sheet and the objection submission interface are available. You can also access the objection section from jssc.jharkhand.gov.in. 📌
Identify and Select the Question(s) to Challenge
In the objection interface, select the specific question number(s) you wish to challenge from the list of questions in your exam. Only challenge questions where you have genuine evidence that the provisional answer key is incorrect — frivolous objections without supporting evidence are typically rejected. You can challenge multiple questions in a single session. 📌
Upload Supporting Evidence / Reference Material
For each objection, you must provide valid supporting evidence — this is mandatory and non-negotiable. Acceptable evidence includes: scanned pages from standard ANM/nursing textbooks (e.g., Dak Sahitya, Indian Nursing Council publications, standard Community Health Nursing textbooks), official nursing council publications, or other recognised reference materials that clearly support the correct answer you are claiming. Handwritten notes or unofficial sources are generally not accepted. 📌
Submit Before the Objection Deadline
After selecting the question(s) and uploading all supporting documents, click Submit to finalise your objection(s). You will receive a confirmation on screen or via email. Crucially: objections submitted after the deadline will not be considered under any circumstances — JSSC's objection portals typically close at midnight on the last date. Do not wait till the last moment as server load is highest then. 📌
- Objections must be submitted online only — no emails, postal objections, or in-person submissions are accepted
- Each objection must be accompanied by scanned evidence from recognised reference material — objections without supporting documents are rejected without review
- Deadline is absolute — the portal closes at the designated time and no extension is granted regardless of technical issues at your end
- Objecting to a question does not guarantee a change — JSSC's expert committee reviews all valid objections and their decision is final
- Do not raise objections based on coaching class answer keys or YouTube solution videos — only authoritative textbook references are considered
- After the objection window closes, a Final Answer Key is published which cannot be challenged further — the result is prepared based on this final key

| Exam Mode | Computer-Based Test (CBT) |
| Exam Dates | 18 March 2026 and 19 March 2026 |
| Exam Venue | Designated CBT centres in Ranchi city, Jharkhand |
| Question Type | Objective / Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) |
| Subjects | Community Health Nursing, Health Promotion, Primary Health Care, Child Health Nursing, Midwifery, Health Centre Management |

- Multiply your correct answer count by the marks per correct answer
- Multiply your incorrect answer count by the negative mark value (if negative marking applies)
- Subtract the negative marks from positive marks to get your estimated score
- Verify the exact marking scheme from the official notification PDF at jssc.jharkhand.gov.in — do not rely on unofficial sources for marking scheme details
- Scores significantly above 60% of total marks generally place candidates in a competitive zone for nursing recruitment exams of this level
- Category-wise cut-offs will vary — SC/ST/OBC candidates typically have lower cut-offs as per reservation norms
- With 3,181 vacancies and a large applicant pool, the cut-off is expected to be competitive — candidates scoring near or above 65% have a strong chance
Most candidates treat the provisional answer key as a formality — they check their score, feel satisfied or disappointed, and move on. This is a serious mistake, and here is exactly why the objection window matters more than most candidates realise:
- Standard nursing textbooks: Books used in ANM training curricula — Community Health Nursing by Ghai, Midwifery and Obstetrical Nursing by Dutta, Fundamentals of Nursing by Kozier — specific page references with the passage clearly visible are the strongest evidence
- Indian Nursing Council (INC) publications: INC's own curriculum guidelines and competency standards are authoritative references for ANM-level questions
- Government health manuals: Ministry of Health's ANM training manuals, NHM guidelines, and similar official publications are very strong references
- Jharkhand Nursing Council publications: State-specific references carry added weight for this particular exam
- What does NOT work: handwritten notes, unofficial YouTube solutions, coaching centre answer keys without textbook cross-referencing, Wikipedia
- Questions with ambiguous wording: Where two options could arguably be correct depending on interpretation — especially in clinical nursing scenarios
- Questions about drug dosages or specific clinical values: These sometimes have outdated or regionally variant answers — newer WHO/NMC guidelines may differ from what the key shows
- Community Health questions: Government scheme specifics (NHM targets, ASHA payment norms, immunisation schedules) change frequently and the key may reflect an older version
- Questions with numerical answers: Calculation errors in the key do happen — double-check all arithmetic-based nursing calculation questions
- Do not challenge questions simply because your coaching class said a different answer — verify from primary source textbooks first
Many candidates know the answer key step but are unclear about the full roadmap to final appointment. Here is the complete post-exam sequence for JSSC ANM JANMCE-2025:
Provisional Answer Key → Objection Review → Final Answer Key
The current stage. After the objection window closes, JSSC's expert committee reviews all objections submitted with evidence. Questions where objections are upheld are corrected. The Final Answer Key is then published on jssc.jharkhand.gov.in — this is the version used to prepare the merit list. Once the final key is out, no further challenge is accepted. Keep checking the website. 📌
JSSC ANM Result / Merit List Declaration
After the final answer key, JSSC calculates scores for all candidates and prepares a category-wise merit list. The result is published at jssc.jharkhand.gov.in. Candidates can check their result using their Registration Number and Date of Birth. The result shows whether you are selected, waitlisted, or not selected. For 3,181 posts with reservation norms, candidates across UR/SC/ST/OBC/EBC/BC categories will have separate cut-offs and lists. Typically, JSSC results come within 4–8 weeks after the final answer key. 📌
Document Verification — What to Prepare Now
Candidates shortlisted in the merit list are called for Document Verification (DV) at designated venues. This is a crucial step — candidates who fail DV lose their selection even with good scores. Start gathering your originals now: Class 10th certificate and marksheet (age proof), Class 12th marksheet with minimum 45% marks, ANM training course certificate from Jharkhand Nursing Council (JNC) recognised institution, valid JNC registration certificate, local area / domicile certificate as applicable, category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EBC/EWS) if applicable, disability certificate if claiming PwD benefit, and recent passport-size photographs. 📌
Final Appointment — Joining as Female Health Worker (ANM)
Candidates who clear document verification are issued appointment orders by the Government of Jharkhand / respective district health departments. The posting is as Female Health Worker (ANM) at Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Sub-Health Centres (SHCs), or related government health facilities across Jharkhand. The post carries the pay scale as per Jharkhand Government health department norms. 📌
Understanding why this recruitment was conducted and what the career path looks like helps candidates make informed decisions about their next steps:
