It is recommended for students who are appearing for NEST 2018 examination to fill the application form correctly in one go. The reason students must fill all the correct details is that there is no correction facility provided by the conducting authority for application form. If there is any update regarding the correction with application form, it would be announced officially by NEST on its official website. Regards.

I would suggest that you fill the application form again or request the authorities to correct the e-mail ID by writing to them via e-mail and informing them of the mistake. E-Mail ID is important as you will be receiving an email regarding confirmation of the registration on your registered email ID. You will also require your registered e-mail ID to login to their official website. Regards.
