NEST Marks VS. Percentile

To understand the relationship between NEST marks and percentile, let’s first clarify what these terms mean. NEST marks refer to the actual scores a student achieves in the National Entrance Screening Test (NEST). These scores are based on the number of correct answers and indicate how well a student performed in the exam. On the other hand, percentile represents a student’s performance relative to others who took the test. For example, if a student is in the 90th percentile, it means they scored better than 90% of the test takers.

The NEST 2024 Marks Vs Percentile can be found in the following table:

NEST Marks Vs Percentile 2024

Factors Affecting NEST 2024 Cut Off

Several factors influence the determination of the NEST 2024 cut-off marks. These factors include:

1. Number of Applicants: The total number of candidates appearing for the NEST examination affects the cut-off marks. Higher competition among candidates may lead to higher cut-off marks.
2. Difficulty Level of Exam: The difficulty level of the NEST examination also plays a role in determining the cut-off marks. If the exam is more challenging, the cut-off marks may be lower.
3. Previous Years’ Cut-offs: The cut-off marks from previous years are taken into consideration while determining the current year’s cut-offs. This helps in maintaining consistency and fairness in the admission process.
4. Number of Available Seats: The number of available seats in NISER and CEBS also affects the cut-off marks. If the number of seats is limited, the cut-off marks may be higher.
5. Overall Performance: The overall performance of all candidates appearing for the NEST examination is taken into consideration while determining the cut-off marks. This ensures that deserving candidates are selected based on their performance.
6. Reservation Policies: Reservation policies for different categories, such as SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, and PwD, also affect the cut-off marks. Separate cut-off marks may be released for each category based on the reservation policies.
