NEST 2025 Cutoff: Check Shift wise NEST Cutoff & Previous Year Cutoff Marks

NEST cutoff marks for SMAS and MAP were declared on the official website on July 10, 2025. Candidates had to visit the official website to go through the SMAS and MAP marks secured by applicants to get admission to NISER, as well as other institutes. Applicants needed to secure NEST 2025 cutoff marks in both sectionals, subject-wise, and individual category cutoff marks. The authorities released the NEST exam cutoff marks shift-wise after the declaration of the NEST result 2025, on the official website of NEST NISER.

The section-wise cutoff mark of the NEST 2025 exam is known as the Section-wise Minimum Admissible Score (SMAS), while the overall cut-off marks are known as the Minimum Admissible Percentile (MAP). Candidates must go through the entire page to check out the NEST NISER SMAS marks and MAP cutoff for the academic session 2025-26.

Students must beat both SMAS and MAP to get a rank in the NISER and CEBS merit list, since the last year's exam conducting authorities have changed the scheme for evaluation of the NEST exam. Earlier applicants had to attempt & pass in all four subjects. But now the marks in any of the three subjects with maximum marks will be considered to pass the NEST exam.
