Colleges accepting JEST 2020 scores/ranks for admission
JEST is conducted to shortlist aspirants for admission in PhD/ Integrated PhD programmes. Go through the list of colleges that offer admission basis JEST scores and also know the courses offered at these colleges.
Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) needs to be given by candidates seeking admission in PhD or Integrated PhD programmes in science stream/disciplines such as – Physics/ Theoretical Computer Science/ Neuroscience/ Computational Biology.
The Science & Engineering Research Board (SERB) recognises JEST as a National Eligibility Test (NET). JEST 2020 is scheduled to be conducted in February. View JEST 2020 exam dates here.
JEST exam pattern is such that candidates are evaluated out of 100 marks and test is of three hours duration.
