Eligibility to appear
The qualifying subjects and marks specified for the selected MAHE undergraduate program. MET is program-specific and also covers some graduate-entry programs. Verify the current MAHE admissions prospectus.
Eligibility to appear is not the same as eligibility to be admitted. Individual institutions add their own criteria on top of the exam's rules.
Overview
What this exam is
The entrance test for programmes at the Manipal Academy of Higher Education institutions, spanning engineering, pharmacy, management and other courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Subjects
What the paper tests
The pattern depends on the programme. Engineering covers physics, chemistry and mathematics with English and aptitude; other courses have their own structures. The engineering paper follows the Class 11 and 12 syllabus with an emphasis on quick application.
PreparationPlan
How to prepare
Identify your exact programme's paper pattern before starting, since the test name covers several quite different examinations. For engineering, existing national-test preparation is sufficient and the marginal effort is low. Multiple attempts within the cycle are usually permitted, so an early sitting is a cheap way to calibrate.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is there one MET paper or several?
Several. The test name covers different examinations for different programmes across undergraduate and postgraduate levels, so identify your programme's specific pattern before you begin preparing.
How much preparation does the engineering paper need?
Little beyond existing national-entrance study. It follows the Class 11 and 12 syllabus with an emphasis on quick application rather than depth.
Can I attempt it more than once?
Multiple attempts within the admission cycle are usually permitted, which makes an early sitting a cheap way to calibrate. Confirm the current rule for your programme.
Does MET cover the medical programmes?
Medical admission follows the national medical entrance rather than an institutional test. MET covers engineering, pharmacy, management and other programmes, so check which route your course uses.
