What factors are considered to prepare the merit list for NEST exam?

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Merit list rank preparation or the final ranking of the candidates will be based on percentile scores calculated from the best three-section scores. The merit list will be published based on the following criteria:&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">1. A candidate is required to score more than SMAS in at least three subject sections. Then we say that the candidate is SMAS-qualified.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">2. The total score of an SMAS-qualified candidate is the sum of the scores of her/his three best scores from the SMAS securing sections.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">3. A candidate is required to score equal to or above a total Minimum Admissible Percentile (MAP) to get a merit rank.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">4. If the percentiles of two or more candidates become equal (i.e., in the case of a tie), then the best scores in the sections of the two students would be compared. The student with the higher score would get a better rank.</p><p dir="ltr">5. If the tie persists, the students would be given the same provisional rank at the time of declaration of the result, and the tie would be broken by comparing class 12th marks during admission/counselling.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">6. If the tie still persists, then the younger student will get a higher rank.</p>
