Hello Jeevesh!

Congratulations for securing a decent rank in NEST! It is not easy to get qualified in the exam first of all.

You didnt mention your category, or it would have easier for you to ensure a seat. However, you still can expect a seat in NISER in the third round of counseling, not before that if you are from the general category. Every year a rank upto 1400 is covered in the counseling sessions but still some 10 seats are left out because some rank holders choose IIT over NISER. It can not be predicted this year to be honest. So, please be patient.

The first round of counseling will go upto 550-600 rank as per the previous years. The second round maybe up to 800. So, I suggest you to wait till the last rounds of counseling. There are fairly good chances for you if you are from any reserved category.

My best wishes are with you.
