EEDF (Economic Entrepreneurship Development Foundation) Health Centre was founded in February 1971 by the late Dr. S.C. Dutt, the founder Chairman & Managing Director of the DC group of companies. Dr. Dutt was the first one to introduce treatment under one ceiling in Kolkata, West Bengal. His vision was to provide health care services to the middle & lower middle class sections of society and to the employees of DC group at an affordable rate in a comfortable environment. The Health Centre began by rendering services from 3 rented houses in Jodhpur Park and in a mobile medical van where doctors and nurses were present to take care of the patients.

Ranking Methodology and Publication of Merit Lists : WBJEEB shall prepare merit ranks based on candidates’ performance in the common entrance test, and each candidate will be able to view and download his/her individual Rank Card containing the score and rank. To maintain confidentiality, WBJEEB will not publish any public rank or score list. Separate General Merit Ranks (GMR) shall be prepared for ANM(R) and GNM, with ranking done in descending order of marks obtained, and tie cases resolved as per the tie-breaking rules specified in Section 2.7. In addition to the GMR, category-wise merit positions such as SC, ST, OBC-Category-A (More Backward), OBC-Category-B (Backward), PwD, EWS, Orphan, CD, etc., shall be indicated wherever applicable. Counselling, seat allotment, and admission shall be conducted strictly on the basis of GMR only, and not on category ranks, which are provided solely for informational purposes. Category ranks are generated based on the category details declared by candidates during online application and are subject to verification of original documents by the allotted institutes at the time of counselling/admission; if any claim is found invalid during verification, the candidate’s category rank shall be cancelled, corrected, or modified accordingly, which may render the candidate ineligible for certain or all seats/courses, and such candidate shall be treated as a General Category candidate in subsequent counselling rounds, if any, without affecting the category ranks of other candidates.
Document verification: Admit cards and rank cards are issued based on the information provided by the candidate, and all verifications are conducted by the allotted institute during and after counselling/admission. Candidates should not assume that the personal information shown in the admit card has been accepted or approved by the Board. If, during verification, any candidate’s claim is found to be invalid, their category rank may be cancelled, corrected, or modified, which could render them ineligible for some or all seats/courses, and they may be considered under the General Category in subsequent rounds of counselling, if applicable. Therefore, securing a rank does not confer any right or guarantee of admission unless all eligibility criteria are duly met.
Note: The Admission Process is written as per the ordinance of the official Counselling Agency.
