Q: What is the level of questions in JEST Examination?
The level of questions in the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) examination is generally designed to assess the candidate's knowledge, understanding, and problem-solving skills in their chosen field of study. The level of questions can vary depending on the subject and sub-discipline within the field.
However, it is estimated that the questions are based on the general syllabi of graduation and post-graduation level courses offered by various Indian universities and institutions. JEST question papers usually are not made available. However, some questions from previous year's examinations are available.
Upvote Q: Is there a different set of exams to be conducted for taking admission into admission to PhD and Int. PhD programme?
Applicants who are planning to appear in the JEST 2024 exam should note that there is only a single exam being conducted named as JEST. This exam is conducted for admission to both PhD as well as Int. PhD courses. Applicants need not to fill and apply for any other exams.
Those who qualify the exams need to separately apply for different institutes of their choice for taking admission into their desired courses.
