Several factors influence the cutoff:

- Number of students who qualified
- Total number of available seats
- Number of applicants for each course
You can download the official cutoff PDF from the counselling portal.

What About Round 2 Counselling
If you are not satisfied with your Round 1 allotment or did not get a seat, you can participate in Round 2. Fresh registrations for Round 2 will open from 17 to 18 June 2026. The Round 2 allotment will be announced on 20 June 2026.
Even if you are already registered, you can modify your choices in the next round.
How Is Merit Calculated
MAHE considers both your MET exam scores and Class 12th marks for preparing the merit list. Both components are given equal weightage (50:50). This means your board exam performance matters as much as your entrance test score.
You must have at least 50 percent marks in your 12th standard examination with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and one optional subject.
Can You Use JEE Main Scores
Yes, MAHE accepts JEE Main scores for Manipal admissions. If you gave JEE Main, you could have registered separately for admission using those scores.
MET Counselling Fee Details
The MET counselling fee is INR 10,000. You can pay this online through net banking, credit card, or debit card. If you get selected for admission, this fee will be adjusted against your tuition fee. If you do not get admission, you can apply for a refund.
Common Questions Students Ask

Yes, the entire MET 2026 counselling process is conducted online.
How many counselling rounds will there be?
