FAQs
Ques. How does the MET College Predictor 2026 work?
Ans. It takes your MET rank and compares it against previous year branch-wise closing ranks across all MAHE campuses to show likely admission options.
Ques. When should I use the MET College Predictor?
Ans. Use it after Phase 2 results in May 2026, since both scores and board marks determine the final rank used for counselling and seat prediction.
Ques. Is a score of 120 out of 240 in MET enough for CSE at MIT Manipal?
Ans. It is borderline. The 2025 CSE closing rank at MIT Manipal was 5,129, and 120 marks typically correspond to rank 5,000 to 10,000, making MIT Bengaluru or MU Jaipur CSE the safer targets at that score.
