With 165 met marks and 87 in boards can I get into manipal sir?
Also sir does manipal normalise different shifts as I have seen some contradictory ranks online?
Ans: Rithvik, With 165 MET marks (68.75%) and 87% board average, your final rank depends on the 50-50 weightage of MET and board percentiles. For 2024 trends, 87% in boards (Physics/Chemistry/Math/English) typically converts to ~84–86 percentile, while 165 MET marks (~69%) may yield ~85–90 percentile, averaging to ~84–88 final percentile. This could secure ECE/EEE at MIT Manipal (2024 cutoff: ~85–90 percentile) or CSE at MU Jaipur (cutoff: ~80–85 percentile). MET normalizes board marks by calculating percentiles within your board (e.g., CBSE, state boards) but does not normalize MET shifts—scores remain raw. Confirm branch-specific cutoffs during counseling and prioritize Jaipur/Bengaluru campuses if core CSE is preferred. Explore upgradation in later rounds if initial allotment is unsatisfactory. ll the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
