Applicants who want to know about the JEST cutoff should note that the cut off is the minimum passing marks one must secure to qualify for taking admission. The JEST cut off is calculated on the basis of total number of seats, difficulty level of exam, marking scheme of exam and the total number of candidates securing that passing marks.
Since this year there is a change in marking scheme compared to previous year hence the JEST 2024 cut off will be different than previous years.
