Course combinations and specialisations are campus-specific and subject to change as per institutional guidelines.
MET 2026 Admission Process and Eligibility
Admissions to all participating institutes will be conducted strictly on the basis of MET 2026 scores. Candidates must meet the prescribed eligibility criteria before applying for the examination. The MET 2026 exam will be conducted in two phases, and candidates are required to attempt at least one phase to be considered for admission. If a candidate appears in both phases, the higher score is generally considered for merit preparation.
MET 2026 Counselling and Seat Allotment Process
After the declaration of MET results, a centralised counselling process will be conducted. During counselling, candidates will be required to select their preferred campus and BTech programme in order of priority. Seat allotment will be based on:
- MET 2026 merit rank
- Availability of seats
- Candidate’s choice preferences
Candidates who receive seat allotment must complete document verification and admission formalities within the specified timeline to confirm their admission.
Important Advisory for Candidates
Candidates are advised to carefully analyse campus-wise course offerings before submitting their choices during counselling. Since Manipal institutions operate under a centralised admission framework, strategic preference filling plays a crucial role in seat allotment. Further updates related to MET 2026 counselling dates, cut-offs, and admission schedules will be announced separately through official notifications.
