Question by College on May 24, 2025

My daughter scored 81 in met. Can she get cse in manipal or bangalore? If not, what other options does she have in those campuses?

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!

She got 87.25% in her boards. Does that better her chances to get into manipal or bangalore?

Ans: Her board marks meet eligibility, but do not enhance her chances for preferred branches, as admissions are strictly based on MET rank. She may have a chance for lower-demand branches or at Sikkim and Jaipur campuses, where cutoffs are higher. Recommendation: Participate in MET counselling to explore all available branches and campuses, but also consider applying to other universities or state counselling processes for better options in core branches. Use her strong board marks to apply for scholarships or direct admissions at other reputed private or state colleges.
