North Eastern Regional Institute of Science and Technology, Arunachal Pradesh, conducts NERIST Entrance Examination (NEE) every year, for admission into certificate, Diploma and Degree programs in engineering. The entrance examination is conducted in three different sets- NEE-I, NEE-II and NEE-III, which are designed for certificate program, diploma and degree programs, respectively.
Examination Pattern
NERIST Entrance Examination (NEE) consists of three different set of examination. Examination pattern for each set is given in the following lines.
NEE-I
The entrance examination consists of single paper of 150 marks. The test paper is divided into four sections containing 125 questions in total.
- Section I includes 25 questions on Physics of one mark each.
- Section II includes 25 questions on Chemistry of one mark each.
- Section III comprises of 25 questions on Biology of one mark each.
- Section IV comprises of 50 questions on Mathematics, out of which 25 questions are of 1 mark each while 25 questions are of 2 marks each.
All the questions are of objective type. The candidates are required to choose the single correct answer. For every wrong answer ¼th marks allotted to that question will be deducted from the aggregate marks. The duration of the entrance examination three hours and will be conducted at various centers located in the eight states of North East.
NEE-II
Three separate question papers are designed for two streams- first is for the candidates, who have passed 10+2 with PCM/PCB/PCMB, while second is for the candidates, who have passed 10+2 Vocational (Technology) and third is for the candidates, who have passed 10+2 Vocational (Forestry).
Pattern for first paper
The entrance examination is divided into four sections. The candidates aspiring for admission into technology stream have to appear in the first three sections, while the candidates, who aspire to seek admission in forestry stream, have to appear in sections I, II & IV.
- Section I consist of 35 questions on Physics, out of which 25 questions are of one mark each while 10 questions are of two marks each.
- Section II consists of 35 questions on Chemistry, out of which 25 questions are of one mark each while 10 questions are of two marks each.
- Section III consists of 50 questions on Mathematics, out of which 30 questions are of one mark each while 15 questions are of two marks each.
- Section IV consists of 50 questions on Biology, out of which 30 questions are of one mark each while 15 questions are of two marks each.
Pattern for second paper
The test paper is divided into two sections- the first section is further divided into three sub-sections-
- Sub-section I consist of 15 questions on Physics, out of which 10 questions are of one mark each while 5 questions are of two marks each.
- Sub-section II consist of 15 questions on Chemistry, out of which 10 questions are of one mark each while 5 questions are of two marks each.
- Sub-section III consists of 20 questions on Mathematics, out of which 10 questions are of one mark each while 10 questions are of two marks each.
Section II is also further divided into two sub sections. The first sub-section is common for all vocations/trades while the second sub-section is designed for particular vocation/trade.
- Sub-section I consists of 25 questions on Common Engineering Sciences, out of which 20 questions are of 1 mark each 5 questions fetches 2 marks each.
