Hello dear aspirant

Firstly, congrats on successful completion of your MET exam. The cut-off trends keeps changing every year and it depends on the number of students attempting the exam, difficulty level, number of available seats, etc. With 157/250, its really hard to get CSE or IT branch in their main campus, i.e. Manipal as there is a huge competition for these seats. Whereas, you can try for CSE and IT branches their Jaipur and Sikkim campuses.
