First Counseling: July 14, 2014 (Monday)
Congratulation for your success in NEST-2014 and for being invited to counseling for admission to NISER (Bhubaneswar) or CBS (Mumbai) or ISERC (Visva-Bharati). Candidates intending to appear for the first counseling and seeking admission to any of the three institutes, are requested to read the following instructions carefully.

1. At the time of checking of NEST-2014 results, candidates who are eligible to appear for the first counseling are provided with necessary portal to register online.

2. The online registration portal to express willingness for admission, preference of venue (NISER or CBS) for counseling is open since June 20, 2014, at 10:00 AM. Online registration is mandatory. Please note that a particular venue for counseling does not restrict you to take admission to that institute only. You may choose either of the counseling venues irrespective of where you wish to take admission. If you face difficulty in online registration, please send us email at nest@nestexam.in mentioning your name, roll and application numbers, your choice of counseling venue and percentage mark of XII standard board examination.

3. Last date for online registration for counseling is July 10, 2014, midnight.

4. The registered candidates must be present at the counseling venue of choice on July 14, 2014, by 9:30 AM. Failing to appear on the date and time of counseling will result in forfeiting your claim of admission.

5. Attendance of all the candidates present at the counseling venues will be taken at 9:30 AM. Based on the attendance of the students present both at NISER and CBS, and the original merit list, a combined ‘modified’ merit list will be prepared. Admission to NISER, CBS and ISERC will be strictly on the basis of this ‘modified’ merit list. Please note that appearing for counseling does not guarantee admission to any of the three participating institutes. The offer for admission will be made at the time of counseling strictly according to the ‘modified’ merit list prepared on the basis of attendance on the day of counseling i.e. July 14, 2014, taking various reserved category seats into account and till all seats are filled.

6. Counseling and admission process is likely to start from 11:00 AM. Documents (and photocopies) required during counseling are listed in the next section.
