BHUBANESWAR, July 14, 2024 – The National Entrance Screening Test (NEST) 2024 results have been officially released on nestexam.in, marking a crucial step for students aspiring to enter India’s top research institutions. Conducted by the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, the examination was held on June 30, 2024. Candidates can now access their scorecards, reflecting their performance and future potential.
This year’s NEST exam, conducted online, was divided into two sessions:
9 am to 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm to 6 pm. The answer key was made available on July 5, allowing candidates to raise objections until July 7 at 11 am through designated email channels.
Insights into the Merit List and Scorecard Information
The NEST 2024 scorecard details essential information such as the candidate’s rank, name, percentile, marks, roll number, photograph, category, qualifying percentile, category rank, and the total number of candidates who appeared and qualified. The merit list is determined based on the percentile scores from the top three sections of the exam. To qualify for the merit list, candidates must:
- Score above the Section-Wise Minimum Admissible Score (SAMS) in at least three subjects.
- Achieve a total Minimum Admissible Percentile (MAP).
In cases where candidates have identical percentiles, their highest section scores are compared. If the tie persists, Class 12 marks are considered, and if still unresolved, the younger candidate is given the higher rank.
For many students, NEST represents more than just an entrance exam; it symbolizes their dreams of contributing to the scientific community. “Preparing for NEST required intense dedication and focus, but the journey was immensely rewarding,” shared Rajat Mehta, a candidate from Mumbai. This sentiment is echoed by many who see this achievement as a stepping stone toward groundbreaking scientific research.
