Scoring 82 out of 240 in the Manipal Entrance Test means your r ank is likely to be above 40,000, based on previous years’ trends. Unfortunately, this rank is quite low for CSE Stream at Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), especially at the main Manipal campus.

A general idea of MET rank cutoffs for CSE at Manipal:

  • Manipal campus (main): CSE cutoffs are typically under 3,000–4,000 rank.

  • Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT) and Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) may have higher cutoff ranks for CSE — sometimes up to 15,000–20,000 or more.

Hello Aspirant,

MET (Manipal Entrance Test) cutoff for an M.Sc. program at Manipal University is above 190. Candidates are advised to secure minimum 190 marks or above out of the total 240 marks. This will allow the candidates to have a higher chance of securing admissions into their preferred course and campus.

According to your marks, may be you wont get into your preferred course but these are possible chances that you might get another course and campus with this range of marks. The authorities will consider various factors while preparing the cutoff of MET 2025, such as the previous year's trends, the difficulty level of the entrance exam, the number of applicants, the total number of seats available, etc. The MET 2025 cutoff will vary as per the candidate's selected category, course and campus. MET 2025 seat allotment will be done as per the candidate's rank, preferences, category and seat availability.

With 34 marks in the Manipal Entrance Test (MET), your chances of getting into the main Manipal campus (MIT Manipal) are limited, especially for highly competitive programs like Computer Science (CSE). However, you may have a better chance at other Manipal University campuses, particularly Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) or Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT), which generally have higher closing ranks.

Hello,

Manipal University admission depends on your MET rank and category cutoff.

With 122 marks in MET, you have a good chance to get a branch like Computer Science, Electronics, or Mechanical.  Exact branch depends on seat availability and competition that year.

Usually, higher MET marks get preferred branches like CSE or ECE. To know the exact branch, check the official counselling or cutoffs on Manipal University website after results.

Hope it helps !
