I applied for PES and VIT besides manipal and was able to secure a seat in both of them but chose MIT over these colleges because it is more credible and from research provides better packages, courses and options. I also applied for BITS but was rejected due to my insufficient BITSAT scores. Admission process in MIT is relatively simple and depends on your MET rank. After your MET 3 to 4 rounds of counselling are conducted where you will be allowed to choose a branch of your choice depending on your rank and payment must be done upfront
