JKBOPEE Extends Last Date for Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing 2026 Admission After First Counselling Round
The Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (JKBOPEE) has extended the last date of joining for admission to the Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing Course 2026. The extension applies to Government and Private nursing colleges across the Union Territory of J&K and comes after the first round of online counselling. Students now have until 24 July 2026, up to 5:00 p.m., to complete their admission.
This update was issued through Notice No. 043-BOPEE of 2026, dated 18 July 2026, signed by Dr. Shabir Hussain Keen, JKAS, Secretary, JKBOPEE.
Who does this affect
This notice applies to candidates who were allotted seats in the Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing Course 2026 after the first round of online counselling conducted by JKBOPEE. It covers admissions in both Government and Private nursing colleges and institutions located in the UT of J&K.
What has changed
JKBOPEE had earlier fixed a deadline for joining through Notification No. 105-BOPEE of 2026, dated 14 July 2026. That deadline has now been pushed forward. Students who could not complete their admission formalities within the original timeline get extra days to report to their allotted college.
New deadline
Admission to the Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing Course 2026 in Government and Private colleges of J&K must now be completed by 24 July 2026, up to 5:00 p.m. Candidates should treat this as a firm cutoff, since counselling timelines are rarely extended more than once.
Eligibility and other conditions remain unchanged
JKBOPEE has clarified that apart from the extended date, all other terms, conditions and eligibility criteria stay exactly as mentioned in the original notification and the e-Information Brochure for the course. Students do not need to check for any new eligibility rule or fee change; only the joining date has moved.
What students should do
Candidates who have been allotted a seat should report to their respective college and complete the admission or joining process before the new deadline. The official notification does not specify the list of documents required at the time of joining. Students should refer to the earlier Notification No. 105-BOPEE of 2026 and the Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing e-Information Brochure for details on documents and admission procedure, since this notice does not repeat that information.
What happens next
The notice does not mention whether a second round of counselling will follow for seats that remain vacant after this extended deadline. Students are advised to keep checking JKBOPEE's official website for further updates on counselling and admission status.
