Hi aspirant,

The basic eligibility criteria to appear for the examination is that the candidate needs to complete his intermediate examination with physics and mathematics as compulsory subjects so you can definitely appear for examination if you have this as your subject.

Remember there is no minimum age limit to apply for BITSAT 2022. However, candidates who qualified the Class 12 exam before 2021 are not eligible for the exam. To be eligible for NEST 2022, the candidates must have passed Class 12th with at least 60% from the Science stream. They also must have passed the last qualifying examination in the years 2021 or 2020.

Hope it helps!!

As per the NEST 2021 brochure, the exam will be conducted in online mode and the student have to reach the venue as in the admit card to give the exam. You can download the admit card by visiting the official website and the NEST 2021 exam is going to be conducted on 14th August 2021.

Hi Av,

Try attempting next year you will surely do well if you keep holding to your goals without succumbing to circumstances.

Again get well soon and try again next year.

Hi there,

National Entrance Screening Test or NEST is an examination that supports talented students. It is a mandatory exam for those students who wished to get themselves enrolled in the National Institute of Science Education and Research or NISER.

Eligibility criteria: A Candidate must have cleared their class 12th with a minimum of 60% marks aggregated. It is 55% for the reserved category.

Coming to your point of giving you preparation tips.

See, firstly you should clear your mind from any doubt regarding your sectionals performance in the main examination. I am mentioning this because neither you have seen your performance nor the result. So stop thinking about this.

Feeling of not enough preparation might give anxiety to you. You should start revising what you have studied so far to score the best you can. As the examination is going to be held on 14 August 2021.

So, rather than thinking about the result. Revise whatever you have studied and be confident with that.

If you have any issue with negative thoughts then I would suggest you compete and keep yourself busy in the works because overthinking may have negative impacts on you. So, Be stress-free and look for your future.

It is high time so do not waste a single minute. Push yourself for the best!!

Wishing you very good luck dear candidate!

Thank you:)
