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.

Hello,

With the information given, your precise MET rank cannot be ascertained. Your ranking is determined by how well each test taker performed overall and how your score stacks up against theirs. There is no clear correlation between a MET rank and a percentile of 76 on your boards.

Hello Sameer,

With a MET score of 72 out of 240 and a Class 12 board percentage of 89%, your chances of securing a seat in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program at Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) Bengaluru are challenging.

MET Score Analysis:

• A score of 72/240 corresponds to approximately 30% .

• Based on previous years' data, a score of 120–150 is generally considered competitive for CSE admissions at MIT Bengaluru .

Closing Ranks for CSE (2024):

• Round 1: 5141

• Round 2: 5676

• Round 3: 5687

Given your MET score, your predicted rank may exceed these closing ranks, making it unlikely to secure a seat in CSE at MIT Bengaluru.

Alternative Options:

• Other Campuses: Consider applying to other Manipal campuses such as Jaipur or Sikkim, where the cutoff ranks for CSE may be higher, increasing your chances of admission.

• Other Branches: Explore related branches like Information Technology, Data Science, or Electronics and Communication Engineering, where the cutoff ranks might be more favorable.

Next Steps:

• Participate in Counseling: Engage in all rounds of MET counseling to maximize your chances.

• Consider Management Quota: Some campuses offer management quota seats, which may have different eligibility criteria and higher fees.

For more detailed information on cutoff trends and counseling procedures, you can refer to official resources or consult with the admissions office of MIT Bengaluru.

Hello Madhav,

No, you cannot apply for the July 2025 improvement exam again if you have already appeared as a private candidate and passed the subjects but did not meet the 75% requirement.

CBSE allows only one chance for improvement for regular students and limited chances for private candidates. Since you have taken the private exam for those subjects in 2025, you are not eligible to appear for the same improvement exam again in the same year.

You may consider preparing to improve your overall percentage in the next board exam cycle if applicable or explore other options depending on your educational goals.

Hello Vishal,

With a score of 121 in MET 2025 and 86% in PCM board exams , here's a general analysis:

Predicted Rank:

• A MET score of 121 typically falls in the 15,000 to 18,000 rank range , though this can slightly vary each year based on exam difficulty and student performance.

• Since MET does not officially release detailed rank-score data, this estimate is based on past trends and analysis.
  
  Chances for CSE at MUJ (Manipal University Jaipur):

• CSE at MUJ is one of the most in-demand branches, and usually the closing rank lies around 8,000 to 10,000 .

• With a predicted rank around 15,000 to 18,000 , getting CSE at MUJ is quite unlikely in the initial rounds .

• However, you may have a chance in the later rounds or spot rounds if seats remain vacant or cutoff drops.
  
  Recommendations:

• Consider applying for branches like ECE, IT, or Data Science , which have slightly higher closing ranks.

• Keep checking counselling rounds regularly for any updates or vacant seats.

• You can also look at internal sliding options after first year, based on academic performance.

3. Composite Score (Out of 100):

   Composite Score=74.25+23.125=97.375Composite Score=74.25+23.125=97.375

• Expected Rank Range: 100-500 (Top Tier)

• A composite score of 97+ is very high and will likely place you in the top 100-300 ranks in MET 2024 (depending on competition).

• Last year, a similar score (~97+) would have secured a rank under 500 for B.Tech programs in Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) .
