The National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar has released the cut-off for the National Entrance Screening Test (NEST) 2024. Candidates who appeared for the NEST 2024 exam can check for the cut-off at the official website – nestexam.in.
The NEST 2024 examination was conducted on June 30 in online mode, and results for the same were declared on July 12. The NISER released the answer key on July 5. Candidates were expected to submit their objections by emailing it to NEST authorities before July 7, 11 am. The counselling dates for NEST 2024 have not been announced yet.
The NEST 2024 exam committee has decided to remove two questions from this year’s question paper following objections to the provisional answer key.
Specifically, one Biology question from shift 1 (Question ID 733898484) was found to be ambiguous, having multiple correct answers. Additionally, a Physics question from shift 2 (Question ID 733898466) was determined to have no correct answer among the provided options. To ensure fairness, the total marks for Biology in shift 1 and Physics in shift 2 have been scaled so that the overall total remains 180.
Several factors influenced the determination of the NEST 2024 cut-off. These included the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, previous years’ cut-offs, the number of available seats, overall performance, and reservation policies.
