NHM WB CHO Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

There is no state pattern. Each district sets its own method and publishes it in its own notice. Read the notice of the district you are applying to.

No state syllabus is published. If a district holds a test, its own notice is the only guide.

The Jhargram order engaged B.Sc Nursing candidates as CHOs. The qualification, age limit, nursing council registration and residence rules are set in each district's notice, so read the one you are applying under.

Selection is by the district committee headed by the District Magistrate. The exact stages vary by district and the notice names them. The reservation policy notified in August 2026 applies to the fresh round.

Jhargram's order of 1 October 2026 gives a consolidated Rs 20,000 a month plus a performance-linked incentive of up to Rs 5,000. The engagement runs to 31 March 2027 and is renewed each year on performance, state approval and the Record of Proceedings. Either side can end it with one month's notice.

Applications go to the district CMOH office named in the notice, in the manner it states. There is no common form or portal.

No CHO notice is open anywhere in the state as at 16 October 2026. Districts said fresh notices would follow the 17 September memo but gave no dates. Watch the Recruitments page of the West Bengal Health portal.

Admit cards, if the district holds a test, come from that district's CMOH office. Nothing is available now.

Results, panels and engagement orders are posted on the portal's Recruitments page by the district, as Jhargram's was.

No cut-offs are published for NHM West Bengal CHO recruitment.

Pick your district first and watch for its notice. Keep your nursing council registration and certificates in order, since each district asks for its own documents.
