No, there are no optional subjects in the NEST exam. The exam consists of four sections: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. You are tested on all four of these subjects, but only the scores from your best three sections are counted towards your final result. Although there are no optional subjects, it is advisable to at least attempt questions from all four sections. This is because the cut-off for each section is based on a proportion of the top scores in that section. So, if you perform well in one section, it can help to compensate for a lower score in another section.
