EMRS Cut-Off Marks 2026
Along with the result, NESTS has also released the category-wise cut-off marks. The cut-off is the minimum score required to qualify for the next stage of selection.
The cut-off varies based on the post and the category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS). For example, the cut-off for the Hostel Warden and TGT posts is generally higher due to the large number of applicants. Candidates who score equal to or above the cut-off marks are shortlisted for the Tier 2 exam or Skill Test.
You can find the detailed cut-off PDF on the same result page on the official website.
What Happens Next? (Selection Process)
Qualifying the Tier 1 exam is just the first step. Depending on the post you applied for, the next stages differ:
1. Tier 2 Examination (Subject Knowledge)
For teaching posts like TGT and PGT, qualified candidates often have to appear for a Tier 2 examination or a specific subject knowledge test if mentioned in the specific 2025 notification.
2. Skill Test
For non-teaching posts like Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA), candidates must pass a Skill Test (Typewriting Test). This test is usually qualifying in nature, meaning marks are not added to the final merit list, but you must pass it to get the job.
3. Interview
For the post of Principal, shortlisted candidates will be called for a personal interview. The final merit list for Principals is prepared based on combined marks from the written exam and the interview.
4. Document Verification (DV)
All shortlisted candidates (for all posts) will eventually undergo Document Verification. You must produce original certificates of your education, caste, and domicile.
