I scored 45% in P.C.B. in 12th and 61% in P.C.B. English and Hindi overall in 12th, Am I eligible for I.A.T. and N.E.S.T. Exam ?
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.
