If you are 85 percentile in the Manipal Entrance Test (MET), your yearly fee at Manipal University for B.Tech/B.E. (including Computer Science and allied branches) will fall in the general fee category, since scholarships are generally given to students with extremely high percentiles (typically 90th percentile and above).

Yearly Fee Structure for B.Tech at Manipal University (2025):

  1. Tuition Fee (per annum): INR 8,12,000 to INR 13,97,000 (branch-wise and year-wise variation).
