MET 61 Shakes My Hope: CSE for Daughter in Blr/Jpr?

Ans: With an MET score of 81, your daughter is unlikely to secure CSE (core or specializations) at either MIT Manipal or MIT Bengaluru, as these branches close at much lower ranks. However, she stands a good chance for branches like ECE, EEE, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Biotechnology, and Mechatronics at these campuses, all of which offer solid placement opportunities and industry exposure. If CSE is a firm priority, consider Manipal University Jaipur or Sikkim Manipal, where the cutoffs are more relaxed and CSE/IT may be available. Alternatively, she can opt for allied branches at Manipal/Bangalore and attempt an internal branch change after the first year, though this is highly competitive. Recommendation: Apply for ECE, EEE, or other core branches at Manipal/Bangalore, and keep CSE options open at Jaipur/Sikkim campuses for the best balance of academic quality and career prospects. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Ans: Ravindran Sir, With 92 marks in MET and 86% in board exams, your daughter meets eligibility criteria for BTech admissions but is unlikely to secure Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at MIT Manipal or MIT Bangalore. The CSE cutoff at MIT Manipal is typically within the top 1,200 ranks, and at MIT Bangalore, it is generally below 10,000. A score of 92 in MET usually corresponds to a rank above 25,000, which is much higher than the closing ranks for CSE at both campuses. She may have options for non-core branches or specializations at other Manipal campuses such as Sikkim or Jaipur, where cutoffs are more relaxed. Board marks do not influence branch allotment beyond meeting eligibility. It is advisable to participate in counselling for all available options and consider allied branches or other reputable private universities for CSE if that remains the preferred choice. All the best for your daughter's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Hello Aseem.
Given the stated score, securing a seat in CSE at Manipal would be difficult. It is advisable to choose MIT Bangalore instead of Jaipur.
Best of luck.
