NCERT is not sufficient enough for exams like NEST. The National Entrance Screening Test and JEE Mains exam includes topics from the science syllabus of classes XI and XII, which are almost the same as those in the NCERT/CBSE syllabus. However, the NEST syllabus is a bit wider and more in-depth. In other words, while they cover almost the same things, relying only on NCERT might not be sufficient for NEST preparation because the topics are broadly based on the fundamentals of each subject and also expect the students to have a good understanding of the basic concepts and principles of the subjects, as well as their applications and implications in the real world. Therefore, if you want to take National Entrance Screening Test along with JEE Mains, you must study some extra topics and go beyond the NCERT books. You must go through modules and solve the problems provided in our batches for better conceptual knowledge and problem-solving skills.
NEST 2024 Exam Pattern:
The exam pattern for NEST 2024 is expected to remain the same as for the National Entrance Screening Test 2023 exam. There are four sections:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Maths
- Biology
Each section will have a total of 20 questions. The multiple choice questions are single-option correct with the following marking scheme:
- for a correct answer, you will be rewarded with +3 marks
- for an incorrect answer, a -1 mark will be deducted
- For unattempted questions, zero marks will be given.
It is in the interest of the candidate to attempt all sections. The merit list for both institutes will be prepared using the best three scores out of the four sections, and the
section with the worst score will not be considered. That is, scores out of 180 marks will be
considered for preparing the merit list.
