The National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, has officially released the cut-off marks for the National Entrance Screening Test (NEST) 2024. Candidates who appeared for the exam can now access the detailed cut-off details by visiting the official website, nestexam.in. The results for NEST 2024 were declared on July 12, 2024.

Significantly, adjustments were made to the scores due to issues identified post-exam with two questions.
