It's a Question of your Career!

Based on your MET score of 99 and PCBME score of 370/400 in CBSE Boards 2024 , your composite score for Manipal Entrance Test (MET) rank calculation will be determined as follows:

MET Rank Calculation Formula:

1. MET Score (75% weightage):

   MET Normalized Score=Your MET ScoreMaximum MET Score×75=99100×75=74.25MET Normalized Score=Maximum MET ScoreYour MET Score×75=10099×75=74.25

2. Class 12 PCBME Score (25% weightage):

   Board Normalized Score=Your PCBME ScoreMaximum PCBME Score×25=370400×25=23.125Board Normalized Score=Maximum PCBME ScoreYour PCBME Score×25=400370×25=23.125

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) .

Hello tthere,

Yes, with 49.67% in 12th Science stream, you may be eligible for admission into the second year of diploma (lateral entry) in some polytechnic colleges.

Eligibility depends on:

• Passing 10+2 with Science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics).

• Minimum marks required (usually 45%–50% in many states).

• Some states conduct entrance exams like DECE (LE) in Bihar.

If your marks meet the minimum criteria and the state or college allows 12th Science candidates through lateral entry, you can apply.

Steps:

1. Check eligibility of the specific college or board.

2. Apply for the entrance test or direct admission as required.

3. Attend counselling if needed.

Private colleges may offer admission with your score even without an entrance exam. Contact the respective college directly for confirmation.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello,

To understand the cutoff, go through the previous year trends of your desired college. The previous year cutoffs can give you an idea. So, go through the college website carefully and you may consider asking any existing student who can tell you about the previous year cutoffs. And to calculate your own marks, go through the eligibility criteria section of your desired institution.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Diploma in EEE is eligible for lateral entry (direct 2nd year) in some colleges.

• Some colleges accepting lateral entry:

  • Hindustan University, Chennai

  • MIT-WPU, Pune

  • LPU

  • Amrita University

  • Manipal University

• Aerospace Engineering Colleges in India – Careers360

• Apply with Diploma Marks or Entrance Rank.

• Attend Counseling / Admission Rounds.

• Join in 2nd Year of B.Tech Aerospace.

Finishing a diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, you can opt for a course in Aerospace Engineering.

You can consider lateral entry: Many engineering colleges give students who have a diploma the option to enter the 2nd year straight in a similar B.Tech program. Learn whether the college takes in students for Aerospace Engineering using lateral entry.

If you wish to join Aerospace Engineering but it isn’t offered as a lateral entry, try joining either Mechanical or Electrical Engineering and move to Aerospace Engineering later.

You can be required to attend an entrance exam such as the state’s lateral entry test or a counseling session based on the marks you receive in your diploma.

You might look into private universities: They often let diploma holders be more flexible about starting in courses connected to aerospace.

If you cannot start with aerospace engineering lateral entry, you can apply after your bachelor’s degree in a related field.

Hello Niveditha,

With a MET score of 79 and 89% in CBSE board exams, your predicted MET rank is likely to be above 40,000 .

For admission to Electronics and Communication (EC) at the Manipal Main Campus , previous trends suggest that the closing rank is usually within 10,000 to 20,000 .

So, with your current score, getting EC at the main campus is unlikely through the general counseling rounds. However, you may:

• Wait for spot rounds where cutoffs sometimes drop.

• Consider MIT Bengaluru or other campuses under Manipal group that have relatively lower cutoffs.

• Reappear for the next MET attempt if eligible, as a better score can improve your chances.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello Amresh,

A MET score of 110 out of 240 with 76% in CBSE Class 12 generally suggests a moderate rank, roughly around the mid to lower range depending on the competition that year.

Regarding admission to Computer Science in Manipal, Bangalore, or Jaipur campuses:

• Manipal Institute of Technology (Manipal campus) usually requires a higher MET rank for Computer Science due to high demand. A score of 110 may not guarantee a seat in Computer Science at Manipal’s main campus.

• Manipal Bangalore and Jaipur campuses may have slightly lower cutoffs, so you might have a chance depending on seat availability and category.

• Admission depends on overall MET rank and category cutoff for that year, which varies.

You should check the latest seat allotment lists or counseling results from Manipal University for exact chances, but with a score of 110, getting Computer Science in Manipal’s main campus may be difficult, while chances at Bangalore or Jaipur campuses are comparatively better but not guaranteed.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello,

Yes you are eligible for admission if you are from science stream. You are eligible for direct admission into 1st year in most private and government diploma colleges. Also, you can get lateral entry into 2nd year in some states (if you have studied Maths and Physics in 12th) – subject to state norms.

Hope this helps. All the best!
