Im from general category how many marks i need for clearing NEST 2021 exam for admission in NISER

Shalini Parimal 21st Jul, 2021

Hi Aspirant,

It is a bit difficult to predict anything regarding cutoff for NISER and admission to it unless and until the marks for NEST 2021 are declared because there are a lot of factors on which the cutoff of each year depends number of applicants, total number of seats, etc. However looking at the previous year trends, the minimum admissible percentile or we can say the overall cutoff of 95% is advisable for general category students.

Hope this helps.

Why people born in 2000 cannot appear in nest 2021

ADITYA KUMAR Student Expert 21st May, 2021

Hi

I am assuming that you belong to general/obc category.

You are not eligible for  nest examination with your date of birth in 2000.

This is because,
As per eligibility criteria of nest examination , there is age limit according to which those who are from general/OBC category must be born either on or after 1st August , 2001.

But yes,

In case if you belong to Sc or St or pwd  category then with your date of birth in 2000  you will be eligible for NEST examination because for SC/ ST/ PwD category there's a relaxation of 5 years on age limit.

You can get detailed information about nest 2021 eligibility criteria by visiting our page, the link for the same page is provided below  :-

Aadarsh Gupta 15th May, 2021

Hello aspirant,

Yes due to covid-19 the nest exam was conducted from home in 2020 so this year also it may be from home as the condition is not good enough and the cases are increasing day by day and also lockdown is there, so by seeing this situation most probably the exam will be from home or will be postponed.

anyone pls say me any site from where i can get chemistry handwritten notes for neet,jee,nest,iat. pls also provide the link.

Manidipa Kundu Student Expert 13th May, 2021

hi,

see There is many website available on internet where you would find different notes by google it, but studying from random course material is not a wise decision for competitive exams like neet or jee main. basically the competitive examinations questions are very tricky and you have to understand the questions conceptual method to solve it . so it is best to take help from tutors or follow the coaching centers material which has good review about the preparation of examination.

careers360 has mbbs companion and jee main companion tools to help students study for the exam with college predictor tools and mock exams, webinar etc.

any site from where i can get chemistry handwritten notes for nest,neet,jee,iat . please provide the link

ginnisachdeva02_9364270 Student Expert 14th May, 2021

Hi Candidate!

You need to know that everone who is preparing notes for any subject is preparing or himself/herself according to their needs and it is not necessary that they would help you achieve any good marks. Moreover, there are most likely chances that you won't be able to understand someone other's notes because of the abbreviations used, handwriting or any other shortforms which they created for their own understanding. I would suggest you to prepare your own notes for basic understanding and for later revision. You can also join our knockout series for upcoming neet exam:
