Candidates who appeared for the exam can now check the cut-off details by visiting the official website, nestexam.in. The dates for the NEST 2024 counselling sessions are yet to be announced.
The results for NEST 2024 were released on July 12, 2024. Notably, two questions from the exam have been dropped due to issues identified post-exam. One question from Biology (Question ID 733898484, Shift 1) was found to have multiple correct answers, while another question from Physics (Question ID 733898466, Shift 2) had no correct answer among the given options. Consequently, the subject-total marks for Biology (Shift 1) and Physics (Shift 2) have been scaled to ensure that the total marks equal 180.
