I am a maths student and never read biology in last 4 years. Is it compoulsory to clear the sectional cuttoff of biology in the NEST exam?

Sharon Rose Student Expert 23rd Jul, 2021

Hello,

To qualify for admission a candidate must score sectional cut off marks and overall cut off marks as well. For admission to NISER Section-wise Minimum Admissible Score is calculated for all 4 sections separately so it is mandatory to attempt questions from all the sections. For admission in to CEBS Section-wise Minimum Admissible Score for any 3 subjects so you can skip attempting question from Biology section.

can anyone pls say me the weightage of all chapters (11th & 12th) in NEST 2021 of Bio,Phy,Chem,Math. please help.

Pankhuri Kumari 8th Apr, 2021
Hii!
NEST entrance exam doesn't have a particular pattern of questions where one can look out for chapter wise weightage. This is because, the questions in the exam are framed in a way that they are indirect and you need to apply your knowledge and concept of multiple chapters at a time and solve the question. So, each and every chapter from each subject and it's concept is important.
The link to the syllabus is given below -

Hope this helps.

NCERT is enough for the preparation of nest 2021?? or we need other books??

Subhrajit Mukherjee 15th Mar, 2021

NCERT is good for concepts but problem solving you need to have some practice. For that you can go for books like:

PHYSICS:

1)RESNICK and HALLIDAY

2)problems in general physics - I.E Irodov

3)Kleppner and Kolenkow (for mechanics)

4)Intoduction to electrodynamics (relevant chapters only)

CHEMISTRY

1)Problems in Organic Chemistry(Himangshu Pandey)

2)Inorganic Chemistry(cengage - vol1 and vol2)

3) For physical chemistry, ncert 11/12 and Comprehensive Chemistry is enough.

MATHS

For functions and basic calculus:

1)Calculus of one variable I.A Maron

2)Piskunov vol1 (relevant chapters)

For Algebra :

  1. S.K Goyal(Algebra) in quite enough. But you must understand the technique used instead of blindly using it.

For coordinate geometry:

  1. S.L Looney
  2. S.K Goyal(coordinate geometry)

This are also the books which most students study for any entrance related to Engineering. So as you have not much time you can go according to your availability.

I hope my answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!
