MET 2027 Eligibility Criteria
You must meet the MET 2027 eligibility criteria before applying. The criteria differ slightly by programme. Here are the requirements for B.Tech admissions through MET 2027:
Academic Qualification
- You must have passed Class 10+2 or an equivalent qualifying examination from a recognised board.
- If you are appearing in Class 12 in 2027, you can apply provisionally. You must submit the final marksheet during document verification.
- You should have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) as core subjects in Class 12.
- The minimum aggregate marks required in PCM is 50% for general category candidates.
- For B.Tech in Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, or similar programmes, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) may also be accepted.
Age Limit
- You should be at least 17 years old as on December 31, 2027.
- There is no upper age limit for MET 2027.
Nationality
- Indian nationals, NRIs, and foreign nationals can all apply for MET 2027.
- NRI and foreign national candidates have a separate admission process. Check manipal.edu for those details.
Merit Calculation for MET 2027 Rank
MAHE does not rank candidates on the MET score alone. The final MET rank is calculated using a weighted composite formula:
| Component | Weightage |
|---|---|
| MET Entrance Score | 60% |
| Class 12 Board Marks (PCM aggregate) | 40% |
This means your Class 12 board performance matters significantly for your final MET rank. A student with strong board marks and a decent MET score can rank higher than someone with a higher entrance score but weaker boards.

How to Check MET 2027 Result
- Visit manipal.edu and log in with your application credentials.
- Click on the result or scorecard section from your dashboard.
- Download your MET scorecard showing subject-wise and total marks.
- Save a copy of your scorecard for future reference during counselling.
What Does the MET 2027 Scorecard Show?
The MET scorecard shows your raw marks in each section (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English) along with your total score out of 240. The scorecard does not show your rank directly. MAHE releases the rank card separately after combining your MET score with your Class 12 board marks using the 60:40 formula.
MET 2027 Rank Card
The MET 2027 rank card is expected in June 2027, just before counselling registration opens. The rank card shows your composite rank: 60% MET score + 40% Class 12 PCM aggregate. This composite rank is what determines your eligibility and position in the counselling allotment. In 2026, rank cards were released on June 8, the same day counselling registration opened.
A high MET entrance score alone does not guarantee a top rank — Class 12 board marks carry 40% weightage in the final merit list. Do not neglect your board preparation.
MET 2027 Marks vs Rank
The MET rank is not based on your raw exam score alone — it uses a composite rank that includes your Class 12 board marks at 40% weightage. The table below gives expected rank ranges based on MET scores, assuming average Class 12 board performance of around 85–90% in PCM. These estimates are based on MET 2026 trends.
| MET Score (out of 240) | Expected Rank Range (MET 2027) | College Chances at MIT Manipal |
|---|---|---|
| 200 – 240 | 1 – 500 | Top branches like CSE, ECE secure |
| 170 – 199 | 501 – 2,000 | CSE, ECE, IT at MIT Manipal very likely |
| 150 – 169 | 2,001 – 4,000 | ECE, Mechatronics at MIT Manipal possible; CSE chances in later rounds |
| 130 – 149 | 4,001 – 7,000 | Core branches at MIT Manipal or CSE/ECE at MIT Bengaluru |
| 110 – 129 | 7,001 – 12,000 | MIT Bengaluru or MUJ Jaipur for most branches |
| 90 – 109 | 12,001 – 18,000 | Manipal University Jaipur or SMIT Sikkim |
| Below 90 | 18,000+ | SMIT Sikkim or less competitive branches at MUJ |
These rank ranges are estimates based on MET 2026 trends. Actual ranks in MET 2027 will depend on total candidates, paper difficulty, and the Class 12 board score of the entire applicant pool. Official rank-to-marks data will be published after results are declared.
How Many Students Appear for MET?
MET sees more than 60,000 candidates applying every year from across India. The actual number who appear is typically around 50,000–55,000 across both phases combined. For the last 3–4 years, the registration numbers have been broadly stable. This makes MET a competitive exam — especially for seats at MIT Manipal, the flagship MAHE campus.
MET 2027 Cutoff
The MET 2027 cutoff will be released after each round of counselling at counseling.manipal.edu. Since MET 2027 results and counselling have not happened yet, the table below uses MET 2026 closing ranks as a reference for the kind of competition you can expect next year.
MET 2026 Closing Ranks — MIT Manipal (Branch-wise)
| Branch | Round 1 Closing Rank (2026) | Final Round Approximate Closing Rank (2026) |
|---|---|---|

What Affects the MET 2027 Cutoff?
- Number of candidates: More candidates competing for the same seats pushes the cutoff rank lower (more competition).
- Paper difficulty: A harder paper leads to lower raw scores across the board, which changes rank distributions at the same score.
- Seat availability: MAHE occasionally revises the number of seats in specific branches. More seats in a branch means a less competitive cutoff.
- Class 12 board averages: Since 40% of rank comes from board scores, higher Class 12 averages in the applicant pool can push up the required entrance score for a given rank.
MET 2027 Counselling and Seat Allotment
MET 2027 counselling will be conducted online by MAHE through counseling.manipal.edu. The process typically runs in 5 rounds for B.Tech admissions across MIT Manipal, MIT Bengaluru, Manipal University Jaipur, and SMIT Sikkim. Counselling is expected to begin in June 2027.
MET 2027 Counselling Steps
- Step 1 – Counselling Registration: Register on counseling.manipal.edu using your MET rank card details. Pay the counselling registration fee at this stage.
- Step 2 – Choice Filling: Fill in your programme and campus preferences in order of priority. You can list multiple programmes across all four campuses in one go.
- Step 3 – Choice Locking: Lock your choices before the deadline. Choices cannot be edited or changed after locking, so decide carefully.
- Step 4 – Round 1 Seat Allotment: MAHE releases the Round 1 allotment list. If you get your preferred programme, accept the seat online and pay the admission fee to confirm.
- Step 5 – Fee Payment to Confirm Seat: Pay the admission fee by the deadline to block your seat. In 2026, Round 1 fee payment was due by June 15. Missing this deadline means losing your allotted seat.
- Step 6 – Further Rounds: If you did not get your first preference in Round 1, participate in Rounds 2–5. Seats released by students who withdrew in earlier rounds become available in subsequent rounds.

MET 2027 Preparation Tips
With registration already open and the Phase 1 exam expected in April 2027, you have around 5 months to prepare. MET is more manageable than JEE Advanced and slightly less intense than JEE Main. Here is how you should approach your preparation for MET 2027.
Start with the Pattern and Syllabus
Before you start studying, go through the MET 2027 exam pattern carefully. The paper has 60 questions in 120 minutes — that is 2 minutes per question on average. Physics and Chemistry have 20 questions each, Mathematics has 15, and English has only 5. This tells you where to invest your time: more on Physics, Chemistry, and Maths; minimal on English.
Subject-wise Preparation Strategy
- Physics: Focus on Mechanics, Electrostatics, and Optics first. These three areas typically cover more than 50% of the Physics questions in MET. Clear your NCERT theory, then solve numericals. Give extra attention to Magnetism and Modern Physics from Class 12.
- Chemistry: Organic Chemistry is very important for MET. Reactions and named reactions from NCERT Class 12 are tested frequently. Also revise Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, and Electrochemistry thoroughly. Physical Chemistry problems require regular numerical practice.
- Mathematics: Calculus (Differentiation and Integration) and Coordinate Geometry are the highest-weight topics. Practise at least 20 problems per chapter for these areas. Vectors and 3D Geometry are comparatively easier and should not be skipped.
- English: Five questions, 20 marks — spend about 1–2 hours a week on English. Focus on grammar rules and reading comprehension practice. This is easy marks if you prepare even a little.
Best Books for MET 2027 Preparation
| Subject | Recommended Books |
|---|---|
| Physics | NCERT Class 11 and 12; HC Verma – Concepts of Physics (Vol 1 & 2); DC Pandey for problems |
| Chemistry | NCERT Class 11 and 12 (essential for Organic Chemistry); P. Bahadur for Physical Chemistry numericals |
| Mathematics | NCERT Class 11 and 12; RD Sharma for practice; Arihant topic-wise question bank |
| English | Wren and Martin Grammar Guide; previous year MET English sections |
Mock Tests and Practice Papers
MAHE releases a demo test on its official website before the exam — use it to get familiar with the CBT interface. Also practise at least 8–10 full-length mock tests in the 2 months before the exam date. Time yourself strictly during practice. The more you practise under timed conditions, the better your accuracy and speed will be on exam day.
Do Not Neglect Your Class 12 Board Exam
Since 40% of your final MET rank comes from your Class 12 PCM aggregate, do not focus only on MET preparation at the cost of your board performance. Scoring 90%+ in boards gives you a significant rank advantage even if your MET score is average. Balance your time between both.
Last 4 Weeks Strategy
- Revise NCERT thoroughly — do not start new topics in the last 3 weeks before the exam
- Solve 2 full mock tests per week and analyse your mistakes
- Revise important formulas, reactions, and concepts daily for 30 minutes
- Check your slot booking details and plan your travel to the exam centre in advance
- Sleep well and avoid last-minute cramming on the night before the exam
