How is the NEST 2021 Result compiled?

The result of NEST 2021 is based on the percentile score of the students. The result is declared in 2 forms, one inside the login of the students and the second in the form of merit list. The result has the percentile score of the students for each section and the overall percentile is also available.

Compilation of NEST 2021 result:

To prepare the result the raw marks of the students are first converted to percentile score. The percentile score is calculated on the basis of the relative performance of all the candidates in the respective session. The highest score in each session is the 100th percentile.

Compilation of NEST 2021 merit list:

To prepare the merit list of NEST, score for the general section along with three best scores from the remaining subject sections is considered for the merit rank. The candidates are arranged in the list as in the ascending of their percentile score.

Tie Breaking for NEST 2021 Merit List

To prepare the merit list and in case of any tie among 2 or more students the following methodology is used:

• If two candidates will get an equal score then the candidate with a higher score in the general section get the higher rank.
• If the tie still persist then the best score in the subject section is compared and the candidate with the better score get higher rank.
• Again if the tie is still there then the candidates get the same provisional rank at the time of result declaration. Later at the time of counselling the tie is broken on the basis of the marks scored in 12th class. If the tie still persists then the younger student will get a higher rank.

NEST 2021 Cut-off Marks

To be able to get a place in the NEST 2021 merit list for admission, the students have to score more than equal to the minimum admissible percentile (MAP) and also ‘Section-wise’ Minimum Admissible Score (SMAS).

MAP is the minimum percentile the students have to score in overall of qualify NEST, and SMAS is the section wise cutoff score.

Category	MAP/cutoff
General	95
OBC	90
SC/ST/PwD	75

The SMAS is calculated by taking 20% of the average of the best 100 scores in that section.

For example: If the average of the best 100 scores in Chemistry section is 40 out of 50, then SMAS for chemistry section would be 40*0.20 = 8 marks. Similarly, for other sections.

For NISER: Candidates have to surpass the SMAS in all 4 subject sections, in addition to the general section.

For example, consider the marks of following six students in general category for session-1 and MAP is 95 percentile. Assume SMAS is 8 for all subjects.

For CEBS: Candidates have to surpass the SMAS in any 3 subject sections, in addition to the general section.

For example, in case of CEBS, both students B and F will be allotted merit rank. On the other hand, student G having his/her score is equal to or more than respective SMAS in only two subjects will not be allotted CEBS merit rank as shown in the image below. Assume SMAS is 8 in all sections.
