Colleges in Orissa

The National Entrance Screening Test NEST is conducted for admission to the 5-year integrated M.Sc. Programme at NISER (National Institute of Science Education and Research) and UM-DAE CEBS (University of Mumbai - Department of Atomic Energy Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences). The cutoff for the NEST exam varies every year and is determined based on factors such as the number of seats available, the number of applicants, and the difficulty level of the exam. For admission to the M.Sc. Programme in NISER, candidates must secure a minimum score of 90 in the NEST exam. However, the final cutoff varies based on various factors mentioned above. It is important to note that meeting the minimum cutoff score does not guarantee admission to NISER, as the selection process also considers other factors such as academic performance and interview performance. NISER offers several courses in the fields of Physics Chemistry mathematics, Biology and interdisciplinary areas of research. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in their chosen field of study, as well as exposure to interdisciplinary areas. The programme also includes hands-on training and research opportunities to help students develop practical skills and experience in their field.
