Dear Candidate ,
With a MET 2025 score of 184 out of 400 and  an All India Rank of 221 , you  have a very good chance of getting a seat in the  Bachelor of Occupational Therapy ( BOT ) course at Manipal College  of Health Professions . In previous  years , the closing rank for BOT has gone up to around 797 , so your current rank is well within the expected cutoff range. You should stay updated on the counseling schedule through the official Manipal Portal and be ready with your documents for the admission process .

With a MET rank of 7,299, securing admission to Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at the Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), Manipal campus is unlikely based on previous years' cutoffs.

Previous Year ECE Cutoffs at MIT Manipal

In the 2024 admission cycle, the closing ranks for ECE at MIT Manipal were:

Round 1: 5,909

Round 2: 6,349

Your rank of 7,299 exceeds these cutoffs, indicating that admission to ECE at the Manipal campus may not be feasible

With an 8.9k MET rank, there's a good chance you can get into the B.Tech IT program at Manipal University Bangalore, but it depends on the specific cutoff for that program and your category (if applicable).

The expected cutoff for MIT Manipal can be between 5k to 35k.

With a score of 130 in KCET 2025, getting a CSE seat in top government or top-tier private colleges in Bangalore may be challenging, especially under the General category. However, you still have a chance in some good private colleges depending on your category (like SC, ST, OBC, 3A, etc.) and whether you belong to a rural or Kannada medium quota. Colleges like Atria Institute of Technology, AMC Engineering College, or New Horizon College of Engineering may be within reach for CSE or similar branches like ISE or AI&DS.

Keep checking the official KEA counseling portal for cutoff ranks from the previous years, as they give a clearer idea of what to expect. Also, try keeping backup options like Information Science, Artificial Intelligence, or ECE in slightly lower-tier colleges, as they sometimes offer similar opportunities. If you’re aiming for CSE specifically, you can also consider applying for management quota or explore spot round counseling if available.

Hi Johan,

You can only amend your second PUC board marks to your KCET (or MET) after your third improvement exams. You will have to upload your new marks on the KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) portal after the results come out in the first week of July in the allowed window of time for correction or updating the grades.

If the marks increased in the PCME subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English), it could affect your KCET ranking, since 50% of your CET rank is based on the board exam marks in PCME subjects. Make sure you are monitoring the official site for ongoing information about time required to enter marks as well as document verification.

CSE is the most sought-after branch, even at the Bangalore campus.

With a MET score of 121, your chances for direct admission into CSE are moderate to low, based on previous year trends (cutoff for CSE usually ranges between 105–125 for MIT Bangalore depending on competition).

However, your 86% board marks are good, which can strengthen your profile slightly in case there's a tie or marginal cutoff.

With 121 marks in MET 2025, your estimated rank is 18,000–25,000.

Likely Options:

Manipal Jaipur/Sikkim – IT, ECE, other branches

Manipal Main Campus – Unlikely for CSE or IT

Your 86% CBSE has minimal impact on MET rank.

With an MET score of 129/240 and a Karnataka PU board PCME score of 339/400, your expected MET rank is likely in the range of 2001 – 4500. This is based on the information provided in the search results, which suggests that a score of 130-149 in MET translates to this rank range.

MET Score:

Your MET score of 129 falls within the 130-149 range, which corresponds to a rank range of 2001-4500.

Karnataka PU Board Score:

While your board score is good (339/400), it doesn't directly influence the MET rank, but it can be considered for composite ranking in certain cases,

Factors Affecting Rank:

Total Number of Candidates:

The actual rank can vary depending on the number of candidates participating in the exam.

Exam Difficulty:

A more difficult exam may result in a lower overall average score, potentially leading to a higher rank for the same score.

Category:

Reserved categories may have different cutoff ranks.

Tie-Breaking Rules:

in case of ties, Mathematics marks, then Physics marks, then Chemistry marks, and finally age are considered for determining the rank.
