The NEST 2027 result is expected in June 2027 at nestexam.in, about three weeks after the exam. NISER and UM-DAE CEBS publish a quick-look result first and then scorecards with section marks and ranks. NISER and CEBS use these ranks to admit students to their Integrated MSc.

What is on the NEST scorecard?
The scorecard shows your marks in each section and your merit rank if you qualify.
- Name, roll number and category
- Marks in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics
- Total of the best three qualifying sections
- Percentile, general merit rank and category rank
How are NEST cut-offs and merit ranks decided?
NEST uses two cut-offs: a section cut-off (SMAS) and a minimum percentile (MAP). You need both to get a merit rank.
- SMAS for General is 20% of the average of the top 100 scores in that section. OBC get 90% of it, SC and ST 50%.
- You must clear SMAS in at least three sections.
- Your total is the sum of your best three qualifying sections.
- Within your category, your percentile must be at or above MAP to be ranked.
- Ties are broken by the best two section scores, then the best single section, then Class 12 and Class 10 marks at admission.
The NEST 2026 cut-offs below are the latest reference for 2027.
| Section (2026) | SMAS UR | SMAS OBC | SMAS SC/ST |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biology | 8.83 | 7.95 | 4.41 |
| Chemistry | 11.26 | 10.14 | 5.63 |
| Mathematics | 9.63 | 8.67 | 4.82 |
| Physics | 9.44 | 8.49 | 4.72 |
MAP in 2026 was the 80th percentile for UR, EWS and OBC, the 75th for SC and ST, and the 40th for Divyangjan candidates.
What happens after the NEST 2027 result?
After the result, you apply for admission separately to NISER Bhubaneswar and UM-DAE CEBS Mumbai, which publish their own merit lists and schedules.
- Check the admission pages at niser.ac.in and cbs.ac.in after the result.
- Register and give your choices as each institute asks.
- Attend document verification with original Class 12 and category certificates.
- Pay the admission fee to confirm your seat.
A merit rank does not by itself guarantee a call for admission. In 2026 the two institutes had 257 seats, plus 4 for J&K and Ladakh.
