Manipal Entrance Test • Conducted by Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE)
Step-by-Step Guide to Filling the MET Online Application on manipal.edu
The MET application process is entirely online through the official portal manipal.edu. Candidates must create a fresh login using a valid email address and mobile number before filling in personal, academic, and program-preference details. The process is relatively quick compared to multi-stage government exam applications, typically taking under 30 minutes for a first-time applicant with documents ready.
• Step 1 — Basic Registration: Visit manipal.edu, navigate to the MET admissions section, and register using name, email ID, and mobile number to generate login credentials.
• Step 2 — Fill Personal & Academic Details: Enter date of birth, gender, category, nationality, permanent address, Class 10 and Class 12 (or equivalent) school details, board, and subject combination.
• Step 3 — Programme & Campus Preference: Select the preferred campus(es) — MIT Manipal, MIT Bengaluru, MUJ, or SMIT — and indicate initial programme interest (this is indicative and does not restrict later choice filling during counselling).
• Step 4 — Upload Documents: Upload a recent passport-size photograph and signature in the specified format and size; some categories may require additional certificate uploads.
• Step 5 — Fee Payment: Pay the application/test fee via net banking, debit/credit card, or UPI through the secure payment gateway.
• Step 6 — Slot Booking: Once the application is submitted, candidates must separately complete slot booking closer to the exam date, choosing a preferred test city, date, and shift from the available options.
| Fee Component | Approximate Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Application + Entrance Test Fee | ₹2,000 (approx.) | Covers Phase 1 attempt; historically quoted as ₹600 application + ₹1,400 test fee in some cycles |
| Phase 2 Re-Attempt Fee | ₹1,200 (approx.) | For candidates opting into a second attempt after registering for Phase 1 |
| Late Fee | ₹500 (approx.) | Applicable if applying after the standard deadline but before final extended closing |
| Counselling Fee | ₹10,000 (approx.) | Payable at the time of counselling registration, adjustable against tuition fee on confirmation in many cycles |
• Recent passport-size photograph (as per specified dimensions and file size).
• Scanned signature.
• Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets / admit cards (Class 12 marks may be provisional if results are awaited at the time of application).
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) where applicable, though MAHE being a private deemed university applies reservation policy differently from government institutions — candidates should check current-year specifics.
• Valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or school ID) for exam-day verification.
MAHE typically opens a brief correction window after the initial application closes, allowing candidates to amend certain fields such as address, category, or uploaded documents. Core identity details (name, date of birth) may require additional verification or supporting documentation to amend. Candidates should carefully proofread all entries before final submission, since correction windows are time-limited and not guaranteed to cover every field.
• Entering Class 12 marks incorrectly or leaving them as a rough estimate when exact provisional marks are already available — this can misalign the eventual merit computation.
• Uploading a photograph or signature that does not meet the specified size/format, leading to application rejection or delay in processing.
• Selecting the wrong home/communication address format, which can delay any physical correspondence if required at a later admission stage.
• Missing the slot-booking window after submitting the main application — remember that application submission and slot booking are two separate steps, and completing only the first does not guarantee an exam slot.
Applications are submitted exclusively online through the official MAHE admissions portal at manipal.edu.
The combined application and entrance test fee is approximately ₹2,000, with an additional re-attempt fee of around ₹1,200 if opting into Phase 2.
MAHE typically opens a short correction window for select fields after the main application period; candidates should check the portal for the current-year correction schedule.
It is only required if the candidate wishes to claim category-based fee concessions or seat considerations where applicable; general-category applicants do not need one.
