NEST 2019 Counselling will be held in two Rounds:

Round 1 of NEST 2019 Counselling- A joint modified merit list will be prepared on the basis of original merit list and the attendance at NISER and CBS. The admissions will be approved strictly on the basis of the merit list.

Round 2 of NEST 2019 Counselling- The applicants are admitted to the vacant seats of the institutes after the first round of counselling. The names of the waitlisted candidates will be announced by the participating institutions on their respective websites.

Last year, the numbers of seats available at the two institutions are as follows:

Dear Aspirant

Allahabad University 2018 Cutoff Round 1

Allahabad University Cutoff 2018 Round 2 for BSc programme

this was the cut off for the previous year so this year the cut off will follow amost similar trend so if you dont get a college in 1st round you definately get it in the 2nd round.

If you want to compare the trends of the previous years also you can follow the link https://university.careers360.com/articles/allahabad-university-cut-off

Hi Dikshita,

The requirements of NEST exam includes scoring a minimum mark in each subject attempted. If you haven't scored the required mark in any one exam, yet scored very well overall, you won't be considered eligible for the ranking. Maybe, this could be a possibility in your case. 

All The Best

Hi Candidate,

It's great to hear that you have qualified the Prestigious NEST Exam!!

NEST stands for National Entrance Screening Test which is conducted for admission into the National Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhubaneswar (NISER) and the Center for Excellence in Basic Sciences (UM-DAE CEBS), Mumbai.

There are four sections in the exam- which comprises of Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology and inorder to appear in the Rank List you have to must qualify in all Subject-Wise cut-offs as it might have happened in your case too. You may have scored the overall cut-off but failed to score above the Individual Subject Cut-off.

Hope that this answer helps you. Have a Good Day!!

Hello Vanshika, 

                Enterance test are conducted every year for admissions of students to various colleges  under different programs and courses. These exams are conducted fresh and totally new compared to previous year hence it is not possible and  looks completely odd to think about getting admissions based on previous years rank. 

    Hence, the answer is no. 

Hi Nitin

The concept of EWS quota has been described and started this year only.

That is why predicting the cutoff for this category is really difficult and is most likely to be wrong.

The trends in JEE change every year so you must wait till the end of the counseling to get to know any absolute cutoff.

Hope this helps.

Hi Pratik,

The predicted cutoff for the year 2019 is 800 for General, 280 for OBC, 150 for SC. 30 for ST, 6 for PwD and 3 for JK. For OBC category, the aim score should be above 120 to be on the safer side. For a score of 70, the rank might change drastically. Do not lose hope. You can try next year, if you are very passionate. 

All The Best. 

Hi Pratik,

The predicted cutoff for the year 2019 is 800 for General, 280 for OBC, 150 for SC. 30 for ST, 6 for PwD and 3 for JK. For OBC category, you should aim for a rank less than 200 to be safe. Your aim score should be above 120 to be on the safer side. 

All The Best. 

Hi Sarbajit,

Ofcourse, you can get it into NISER, Bubaneshwar. The cutoff rank for Geeral category candidates last year and that predicted this year is 800. And with a rank of 274 you have high probability of getting a seat in first counselling. 

All The Best
