EMRS TGT Cut-Off: ESSE 2025 Tier I Marks

The EMRS TGT cut-off released on 31 January 2026 shows the ESSE 2025 Tier I marks used to shortlist candidates for Tier II. NESTS lists a separate row for each subject and category. The figures below come from the official NESTS Tier I shortlisting cut-off PDF. The Tier II result notices are a separate publication.

Read your subject and category together. The score scale here is the 100 scored marks from Tier I, after the separate language requirement applies.

Official EMRS TGT Tier I cut-offs

This table shows selected subject and category rows from ESSE 2025. Open the official PDF for language posts, specialist lines and the other categories published by NESTS. Keep any zero or negative entry in its exact subject and category context.

Shortlist cut-off, language minimum and merit

The EMRS TGT pattern guide explains the language gate and scoring rules. For Tier II status, use the NESTS ESSE 2025 notice board and follow the link for your exact post to the candidate login. The Tier I table cannot show your later-stage result.

Use the earlier marks in practice

Compare several timed attempts against your own post and category. For example, an unreserved Mathematics candidate might mark the published 76 on a chart of their Tier I practice scores, then check whether variation comes from reasoning errors, classroom cases or avoidable penalties. Track the language aggregate separately.

Use the earlier score as a reference point only. Vacancies, the candidate pool and the paper can change, so keep the cycle name and stage beside every number in your tracker.
