MIT Manipal Reserves 20% of BTech Seats Through JEE Main 2026

The Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), Manipal has introduced a major change in its BTech admission policy for the 2026-27 academic year, reserving 20% of seats for candidates applying through JEE Main 2026 scores. As per the update, eligible candidates can now secure direct admission without appearing for the Manipal Entrance Test (MET).

Interestingly, this update was first noticed by applicants through an official email sent to aspiring candidates, where MIT Manipal informed about the new JEE-based admission route. Additionally, according to a screenshot shared on Reddit, the institute has clearly outlined this revised admission policy.

Candidates who have appeared for JEE Main 2026 and achieved a score above the specified percentile threshold are eligible to apply for admission through this new JEE Main quota. The remaining 80% of seats will continue to be filled through the traditional Manipal Entrance Test (MET) and merit-based selection process. This dual admission pathway provides flexibility for candidates and recognizes the credibility of JEE Main as a national engineering entrance examination.
