Q1. How can I check my MPESB PNST Result 2026 if I lost my roll number?

You can still recover your details from the official portal. Open esb.mp.gov.in and click the result link for PNST 2026. There is a small forgotten roll number option on the login page. Enter your registration number, name and date of birth to fetch the roll number. If that does not work, check the admit card copy saved on your phone or email. The admit card carries the same roll number you need for the result page. You may also contact the MPESB helpdesk with your application ID for support.

Q2. What are the minimum qualifying marks in the MP PNST entrance test?

The board has not announced a separate pass mark in the official notice. Selection depends on the merit list prepared from total marks scored. General category candidates usually need higher scores because the cut off moves with seat count and paper difficulty. Reserved category applicants get the benefit of category wise cut off lists. Toppers are announced along with the result, so you can compare your score with the top rankers. Keep an eye on the official portal for the cut off PDF release.

Q3. Can I raise an objection against the MP PNST answer key 2026?

Yes, the board allowed online objections against the provisional answer key. The challenge window stayed open from 14 July to 17 July 2026. You had to log in with your roll number and date of birth on the exam portal. Only online challenges with valid proof and reference were accepted. A small fee per challenged question had to be paid online. Objections sent by post or email were not entertained at all. Subject experts reviewed every valid challenge before the final key was locked.

Q4. Is there any re-checking or re-evaluation of the PNST scorecard?

The board does not offer a re-checking or re-evaluation facility for this entrance test. Since the paper is objective with OMR or CBT responses, marks are counted by machine. Your response sheet is available for download, so you can verify the marked answers yourself. If you find a genuine key error, the objection window was the correct route. Once the final result is declared, marks cannot be changed on request. So check your scorecard carefully within the given time frame.

Q5. What is the age limit and relaxation for MP PNST 2026?

The minimum age was 17 years as on 31 December 2025. There is no upper age limit for this nursing entrance test. Reserved category candidates still get standard relaxation where the rules allow it. OBC applicants get 3 years, SC and ST get 5 years, and PwD gets 10 to 15 years. Ex-Servicemen get relaxation as per government norms. Your date of birth must match your Class 10 certificate exactly, since verification is strict.

Q6. Who is exempted from paying the MP PNST application fee?

Reserved category candidates paid a reduced amount of Rs 260. General and other state applicants paid Rs 460. Both amounts already include a portal fee of Rs 60. The board did not announce a full fee waiver for any category in this notification. Payment was accepted online through MP Online KIOSK, debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI. Forms without a successful payment were rejected automatically. Always save the payment receipt for future reference.

Q7. What happens after the MP PNST result is declared?

Shortlisted candidates move to the online counselling stage. You need to register on the counselling portal and fill college preferences. Seat allotment depends on your merit rank and the choices you lock. After allotment, report to the allotted college with original documents. Document verification and medical fitness checks decide final admission. If you skip reporting within the given dates, your seat gets cancelled. Keep checking the official portal for counselling schedule updates.

Q8. Which documents are required during PNST counselling and verification?

Carry your Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets along with passing certificates. The PNST admit card and result scorecard are also compulsory. Keep a valid category, EWS or PwD certificate if you claimed reservation. A Madhya Pradesh domicile certificate helps for state quota seats. Bring passport size photographs and a government photo identity proof. Transfer certificate and character certificate from your last school are needed too. Original documents are checked carefully, so carry a photocopy set as well.
