Hello,

The eligibility for IAT (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Aptitude Test) and NEST (National Entrance Screening Test) exams is primarily based on specific academic criteria:

IAT (IISER Aptitude Test) Eligibility:

Academic Requirement:

Candidates must have passed 10+2 with science stream (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology).

A minimum of 60% marks in aggregate (55% for reserved categories like SC/ST/PWD) in class 12 is typically required.

Your Score:

Since your PCB score is 45% but your overall (including English and Hindi) is 61%, you may not meet the eligibility criteria unless there is relaxation based on overall marks or reserved category.

NEST (National Entrance Screening Test) Eligibility:

Academic Requirement:

Candidates must have passed the 10+2 exam with a minimum of 60% marks (55% for SC/ST/PWD) in aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology.

Your Score:

Since your PCB marks are 45%, you may not be eligible unless there are exceptions for combining subjects or category-based relaxation.
