Dear Abhijeet,

This is how you find out the cut-off for OBC in NEST. Your total score will be the direct sum of your score in the general section and your best three scores in the subject sections.

For each section, “20% of the average of the best 100 scores in that section” will be considered as Section–wise Minimum Admissible Score (SMAS). 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. This applies to other sections as well.

SMAS for OBC students would be 90% of respective SMAS for general category students. For example, if in the chemistry section the SMAS is 8 for general category students, then SMAS for OBC students would be 7 (90% of 8, rounded off).

Generally the cut off for OBC category in NEST is around 60.

Thank you and best of luck.
