How the merit is formed

Since BTSC has no written test for this post, many candidates find it difficult to understand why their names appear (or don’t appear) in the list despite “good” academic scores.

Here’s the reality:

• Merit is determined purely on academic marks, usually from B.Sc Nursing or Diploma/Certificate courses.
• Even small differences in percentage-sometimes 0.2-0.5%-can decide ranking.
• If work experience or higher qualification was applicable as per your category, those marks could also influence your position.

What the cut-off reflects

Cut-offs in such recruitments do not reflect difficulty level, but availability of high-scoring candidates. If your marks are close to the cut-off but still below it, it simply indicates that the competition was tightly packed.

If you qualified

Your selection is based on the strength of your academic background. Now the responsibility shifts towards document accuracy and timely verification.

If you did not qualify

This can feel unfair because nursing recruitments without written exams depend heavily on past marks. Remember:

• Your rejection is not a reflection of your competency as a nurse.
• It is only a mathematical outcome based on scoring patterns.
• Several upcoming recruitments-state health societies, AIIMS campuses, ESIC, RRB staff nurse posts-will offer new chances, many of which include written exams where skill matters more than your college percentage.

4. Next Steps After the Result - Guided Walkthrough

1. Download and Save Everything

• Result PDF
• Scorecard
• Any communication from BTSC

Create a folder on your phone/laptop named “BTSC 2025”.

2. Document Verification (DV)

Though dates are not yet released, candidates must stay prepared. DV is the most sensitive stage.

Carry originals + self-attested photocopies of:

• Nursing degree/diploma certificates
• Registration certificate from State Nursing Council
• 10th & 12th mark sheets
• Caste certificate (if applicable)
• Experience certificate (if claimed)
• Aadhaar/ID proof
• Passport-size photographs

Common DV mistakes to avoid:

• Bringing outdated caste certificates
• Name mismatch between Aadhaar and academic certificates
• Not carrying the registration certificate (often the most forgotten document)
• Laminated originals-some boards avoid stamping on laminated papers

3. Track Notifications

Most candidates fail because they miss a notice or email. Check:

• BTSC website daily for a week
• Your SMS inbox (including spam folder)
• Your registered email

5. Cut-Off Analysis & Competition Insight

Because the recruitment uses academic marks, cut-offs tend to depend on three factors:

1. Increase in number of B.Sc Nursing graduates

In the last few years, more students have opted for B.Sc Nursing instead of GNM, raising the average range of applicant scores.

2. Large number of seats but even larger number of applicants

More seats do not always mean easier selection. Nursing courses, especially in Bihar and Jharkhand, have grown rapidly, raising competition.

3. Slight variations creating big differences

Because there is no written test, the cut-off bunching is very dense. Example (hypothetical but realistic):

• Candidate A: 78.4% → Selected
• Candidate B: 78.2% → Not Selected

These tiny margins sometimes feel harsh but are common in academic-based selections.

What this means for future aspirants

If you are still in nursing school:

• Aim for higher semester scores; they genuinely matter.
• Keep your registration process complete immediately after graduation.
• Build experience; some boards give preference marks.

6. Preparation Strategy for the Upcoming Stage

Since no mains or interview is required, your next focus should be on Document Verification readiness and understanding joining procedures.

DV Preparation Routine

• Spend 2-3 hours gathering, checking, and arranging documents.
• Create a file with sleeves; label each document.
• Keep 8-10 extra passport-size photos.
• Get 2-3 photocopies of every certificate, just in case.

If joining is the next stage

Once DV is cleared, the next communication will include:

• Posting details
• Medical fitness requirements (if applicable)

For medical fitness:

• Keep vaccination certificates ready
• Maintain a health record
• Avoid last-minute formalities

Results often bring mixed emotions. If your name is in the merit list, celebrate the moment but stay focused-BTSC’s DV stage demands accuracy and timely action.
