MET rank = 50% exam score + 50% board band score. Enter your MET exam score (out of 240) and your 10+2 board marks out of 400 — Physics + Mathematics + English + your optional subject (Chemistry, Computer Science, Biology, or Biotechnology). Your board percentage is converted to a band score (5% increments, e.g. 85–89% → Band 8 → 80%) to normalize across boards. Note: the MET exam paper has a fixed Chemistry section regardless of your board subject choice.

How MET Ranking Works
MET rank is determined by a composite merit score: 50% weightage to MET exam performance and 50% weightage to a band-normalized board score. Board percentages are bucketed into 5% bands (Band 1–10) to normalize across different state boards — so 87% board maps to Band 8 (80%), not 87% directly. This is the methodology most widely attributed to MAHE. MAHE itself does not publish exact weights.
MET Exam = Physics + Chemistry + Mathematics + English (max 240, fixed sections)
Board Marks = Physics + Mathematics + English + Optional Subject (max 400)
Optional Subject = Chemistry or Computer Science or Biology or Biotechnology
Board % = (Board marks / 400) × 100
Board Band = 5% increment band — 50–54% → Band 1, 55–59% → Band 2, … 95–100% → Band 10
Board Band Score = Band × 10 (e.g. 87% board → Band 8 → 80%)
MET % = (MET score / 240) × 100
Combined Merit = (MET % + Board Band Score) ÷ 2
Rank = Candidates sorted in descending order of Combined Merit
Board Marks = Physics + Mathematics + English + Optional Subject (max 400)

Board % → Band → Score used in formula
| Board % | Band | Score used |
|---|---|---|
| 95–100% | Band 10 | 100% |
| 90–94.99% | Band 9 | 90% |
| 85–89.99% | Band 8 | 80% |
| 80–84.99% | Band 7 | 70% |
| 75–79.99% | Band 6 | 60% |
| 70–74.99% | Band 5 | 50% |
| 50–54.99% | Band 1 | 10% |
| Below 50% | — | Not qualified |
Rank prediction uses polynomial regression fitted on ~190 actual MET 2025 student results, calibrated against early MET 2026 actual ranks (limited data — preliminary). Predicted ranks carry a ±20% margin — use the range shown, not just the point estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
MET rank is widely understood to be a composite of two components: 50% weightage to your MET exam score (normalised as a percentage of 240) and 50% weightage to a band-normalized board score. Board percentages are bucketed into 5-percentage-point bands (50–54% → Band 1, 55–59% → Band 2, … 95–100% → Band 10), and the band score (band × 10) is used instead of the raw percentage — this normalizes for grade inflation across different state boards. For example, 87% board maps to Band 8 → 80% band score. All candidates are sorted in descending order of combined merit to determine rank. MAHE does not publish the exact formula; band normalization is the methodology most widely attributed to them. The MET exam paper itself always has a mandatory Chemistry section regardless of your board subject.
For CSE at MIT Manipal (main campus), the MET 2026 closing rank was 3,441 in Round 1, easing to 4,838 by Round 4. Achieving this requires roughly MET 165–180/240 with an 85%+ board aggregate (Band 8), or about MET 143–152 with a 90%+ aggregate (Band 9). CSE – Financial Technology closed at 3,629 (R1) to 4,930 (R4). Math & Computing closed at 2,821 to 3,670, and ECE at 3,695 to 5,121. These are official MAHE Common Counseling closing ranks; Round 1 cutoffs run roughly 850–1,400 ranks tighter than Round 4.
With a MET rank around 10,000, MIT Manipal (main campus) is still open for Mechatronics (closed at 11,011), Aeronautical (11,381) and Mechanical (13,176) — but CSE, CS & Financial Technology and ECE all closed inside 5,200. At MIT Bengaluru the single-degree branches closed between 12,313 and 14,758, so CSE there is within reach. Manipal University Jaipur closed CSE at 37,946 and is comfortably open. Above rank 17,000, MUJ Jaipur, MAHE Dubai and SMIT Sikkim are the realistic options. These are MET 2026 MAHE Common Counseling Round 4 closing ranks.
This predictor uses a degree-3 polynomial regression model fitted on ~190 actual MET 2025 student results, now calibrated against early MET 2026 actual ranks (limited data so far — treat the 2026 calibration as preliminary). It predicts log(rank) as a function of combined merit score, and is most accurate in the 30%–91% combined score range. The predicted rank carries a ±20% margin of uncertainty — actual ranks depend on cohort size, exam difficulty, and score distribution each year. Use it for planning; verify your official rank at manipal.edu.
Yes, MET MCQs carry −1 for wrong answers (+4 for correct). However, Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions have no negative marking. The exam is conducted online (CBT) for 2 hours. There are four fixed sections: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and English. Chemistry is mandatory in the exam paper — even students who studied Computer Science or Biology in Class 12 must attempt the Chemistry section in MET.
Disclaimer: This tool provides estimated ranks for planning purposes only. Predictions are based on MET 2025 marks-vs-rank analyses — not official MAHE data. Total candidate count (~1.5 lakh) is an estimate. Actual ranks vary year to year based on applicant count, score distribution, and exam difficulty. Always verify your rank and admission eligibility from the official Manipal admissions portal.
