Dear Aspirant, it's common to face such situations being at home and studying, during this pandemic situation everyone is going through similar kind of situation.

But to achieve anything "planning" is the key.While preparing for exams you should have a proper planning, long term as well as short term.Try to make schedule weekly , monthly if possible. Plan your daily , weekly and monthly Targets. Start by achieving small small goals daily. Try to plan subjects to be studied accordingly and make a strategy that suits you. Then also you could use this trick - study for 25-30 mins then take a 5 min break , then again study for 25-30 mins , then again take a break and skim through whatever you've gone through in the past hour. Continue this for another 2/3 hours. At the end you would've definitely achieved some part. THAT WILL DEFINITELY SET SOME MOTIVATION FOR FURTHER.. Consistentcy is important and more important is persistence to achieve it. Try to make small targets daily , make list of to-do tasks every day, also make list of to-do tasks weekly, monthly.

Also fix a place in home where you won't be distracted and try to study at there only , it helps your mind get a tick to switch study mode.

Hope this helps.

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.
