Applicants who are appearing in JEST exam are often curious about the validity period of the JEST score. The JEST exam score validity is for one year hence applicants who want to take admission in any of the JEST participating institutes can apply online the same year. After the completion of one year of validity of JEST score applicants need to again appear in exam and their previous year score will be null and void.

No, there is no limit to apply for the JEST exam. There is no restriction on age for appearing in the JEST examination according to information available till now. Though, each participating institute has its own eligibility criteria which applicants need to check before applying for the JEST exam.
It is to be noted that even if you have qualified the JEST exam successfully and you fail in the eligibility criteria decided by participating institutes then you won't be able to take admission.

The authorities have prescribed certain criteria and parameters to accept images for JEST 2024 application form. The maximum size for both photograph and signature should be 100 kb maximum.
While the dimensions for photographs should be Minimum: 100 X 125 pixels, Maximum: 240 x 300 pixels (width x height) and for Signature it is Minimum: 100 X 125 pixels and Maximum: 150 x 30 pixels (width x height).
If a candidate fails to upload the application form not in this format then chances of accepting the application form are very rare even if their form will be accepted they won't be able to get admit card.

The JEST 2026 application fee will be paid after filling the form. Female candidates who belong to the SC/ST community need not to pay any penny while filling the form. Though female candidates other than SC/ST community need to pay a fee, that fee is INR 400 which is half of the fees paid by male applicants.
Since female participation in JEST exam is less in comparison to other exams hence exam conducting authorities offer relaxations to female applicants.

Knowing JEST 2024 application form fees before filling the form is a must for candidates. General candidates have to pay INR 800 as application fees while SC/ST male students need to pay INR 400 and female candidates from SC/ST community don't need to pay anything as fee, as they are completely exempted from paying any application fees.
Students who fill the form and don't pay JEST application fees their application form will not be considered as complete and they won't be entitled to appear in JEST 2024 exam.
