Manipal Entrance Test • Conducted by Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE)
General Guidance on Staying Informed Through the MET Admission Cycle
This section provides general guidance on the categories of updates MET candidates should track, rather than specific real-time news items, since exam dates, fee structures, and procedural details are revised by MAHE from cycle to cycle.
• Official notification release: Watch for MAHE's formal MET information bulletin, usually released alongside the opening of online applications in October-November, which confirms the current year's exact eligibility, fee, and pattern details.
• Exam date confirmations: Phase 1 and Phase 2 exact dates are typically confirmed a few weeks ahead via the candidate portal and official notifications — do not rely on unofficial estimates once official confirmation is available.
• New specialization launches: MAHE has periodically introduced new B.Tech specializations (in areas like AI, Data Science, Financial Technology) — candidates interested in cutting-edge tracks should check the current year's full programme list rather than assuming it matches previous years.
• Counselling schedule extensions: Since MAHE has, in past cycles, extended counselling beyond the initially announced number of rounds, candidates should monitor official announcements through July even after an initial allotment.
• Fee structure revisions: Application, test, and tuition fees are subject to periodic revision; always confirm current figures on manipal.edu rather than relying on previous-year numbers.
• The official MAHE admissions portal (manipal.edu) remains the single authoritative source for all MET notifications, dates, and procedural changes.
• MAHE's official social media handles and registered candidate email/SMS alerts, which typically carry time-sensitive reminders for slot booking, admit card release, and counselling deadlines.

• Has the total fee (application, test, or counselling) changed from the previous year?
• Has MAHE added or discontinued any B.Tech specialization at a specific campus?
• Has the number of counselling rounds or the choice-list size limit changed?
• Are there any changes to the eligibility criteria, such as minimum percentage requirements or accepted subject combinations?
The official MAHE admissions portal at manipal.edu is the authoritative source for all MET notifications, dates, and procedural updates.
MAHE has periodically added new industry-aligned B.Tech specializations in recent years, so candidates should check the current year's full programme list rather than assuming it is unchanged from previous years.
MAHE communicates round extensions through the official counselling portal and registered candidate contact details, so keeping login access active and checking regularly during the counselling window is important.
