MET B.Tech Cutoffs at Manipal University Jaipur (2025)

Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) admits B.Tech students primarily through the Manipal Entrance Test (MET), conducted by Manipal Academy of Higher Education, with JEE Main, SAT and JEE Advanced scores also accepted. Because MET-based seat allotment works on All India Rank (AIR), a lower closing rank reflects a more competitive branch. For the 2025 admission cycle, the General category MET closing ranks at MUJ spanned roughly 30100 to 50589 across all engineering specialisations, with Computer Science and Engineering remaining the most sought-after branch. The figures below are MUJ's verified 2025 closing ranks and should be read as the boundary rank up to which seats were allotted in the General (All India) quota.

MET 2025 General Category Closing Ranks by Branch (Round 1)

The spread above shows how MUJ's branch hierarchy plays out in rank terms: CSE closed near rank 30100, computing-adjacent and electronics branches clustered between 31756 and 36175, the civil and mechanical core branches sat in the mid-30,000s, and the least-subscribed core specialisation extended past rank 51449. A candidate aiming for a guaranteed CSE seat in the first round therefore needed an AIR comfortably inside roughly 30000, while broadly any branch was reachable up to about rank 51000.

MET 2025 Final Round Closing Ranks (General Category)

As counselling progresses through later rounds, closing ranks move higher (numerically larger) because more candidates are accommodated and seats released by upgrades are reallotted. The final-round closing ranks for 2025 confirm this pattern.

Reading the two tables together is instructive. CSE moved from a Round 1 closing rank of 30100 to a final-round closing rank of 33571, a swing of roughly 3,400 ranks. Electronics and Communication Engineering shifted from 31756 in Round 1 to 35163 by the final round. This means students holding ranks in the low-to-mid 30,000s who were initially waitlisted for top branches still had a realistic chance in later rounds, and it underlines why MUJ aspirants should participate in every counselling round rather than withdrawing after Round 1.

Category-Wise Cutoff Pattern (General, OBC, SC, ST)

MET seat allotment publishes its primary closing ranks for the General (All India) quota, and the verified MUJ figures above are General-category ranks. For reserved categories, the broad and consistent pattern across Manipal counselling is that closing ranks relax progressively: OBC closing ranks typically fall a little behind General, while SC and ST closing ranks extend to substantially higher rank numbers for the same branch, reflecting category-specific seat reservations. Because MUJ and MAHE release verified category-wise (OBC/SC/ST/EWS) tables only when the official counselling PDFs are published, the responsible approach for reserved-category candidates is to anchor expectations to the verified General closing ranks below and treat reserved-category cutoffs as more lenient than these.

The key takeaway for OBC, SC and ST aspirants is directional certainty rather than a single fabricated number: if a General-category student secured CSE at MUJ around rank 30100 to 33571 in 2025, reserved-category candidates with somewhat higher (numerically larger) ranks had a comparable shot at the same branch. Candidates should always cross-check the official MAHE/MUJ allotment document for their specific category before finalising choices.

Year-Wise MET Cutoff Trends at MUJ

The most revealing trend at MUJ concerns its flagship CSE branch. The General-category last-round closing rank for B.Tech CSE has risen over three consecutive cycles, which means admission has become numerically more accessible (a higher closing rank accommodates more candidates).

From 2023 to 2025, the CSE closing rank moved from 17794 to 33571, almost doubling. Two factors typically drive this: an expansion in sanctioned CSE and allied-computing seats (including new specialisations such as Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, which closed at 35002 in 2025), and a wider applicant pool that spreads allotments across more rounds. For a 2026 aspirant, this trend suggests that a MET AIR in the low 30,000s gives a fair chance at CSE if the pattern holds, though students should always target a buffer below the previous year's closing rank rather than matching it exactly.

What MET Score Translates to These Ranks

MET is scored out of 240 marks. Based on widely reported MUJ admission patterns, a score in the band of roughly 120 to 140 out of 240 is generally considered safe for securing a B.Tech seat in a mainstream branch, with higher scores needed for CSE and computing specialisations that close near rank 30000 to 33571. Candidates relying on JEE Main instead of MET should note that MUJ converts and considers JEE Main percentile/rank within its own merit list, so a strong JEE Main score is an equally valid route to the same branches.

How MUJ Cutoffs Compare With Peer Private Universities

For students weighing options, it helps to see MUJ alongside other leading private engineering universities that run their own entrance tests. The comparison below is qualitative on admission route and indicative on selectivity, since each university uses a different ranking and scoring system.

The practical distinction is that MUJ accepts both MET and JEE Main, widening the entry routes, and conducts MET in two phases per cycle, letting candidates use their better attempt. VIT and SRM run dedicated multi-slot tests (VITEEE and SRMJEEE), where the best score across phases counts. Against these peers, MUJ's CSE closing rank in the 30000s reflects strong but not extreme selectivity, positioning it as a well-regarded private option for students who narrowly miss admission at top government institutes through JEE.

Fees Context for Admitted Students

Cutoffs determine eligibility, but fees shape the final decision. At MUJ, total B.Tech tuition for the 2025-2026 intake ranges from approximately Rs. 12.61 Lakhs to Rs. 18.29 Lakhs across branches, with Computer Science and Engineering tuition reported at around Rs. 4,87,000 per year (about Rs. 19,48,000 for the four-year programme), exclusive of hostel and other charges. Students clearing the CSE closing rank of 30100 to 33571 should budget for these figures alongside their rank planning.

Key Takeaways for 2026 Aspirants

To summarise the verified 2025 picture at Manipal University Jaipur: CSE closed at rank 30100 in Round 1 and 33571 in the final round; Electronics and Communication Engineering closed at 31756 (Round 1) and 35163 (final round); Mechanical Engineering closed at 34555 and Civil Engineering at 36863 in Round 1; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence closed at 35002; and the least competitive core branch extended out to ranks of 51449 (Round 1) and 50589 (final round). With CSE closing ranks having risen from 17794 in 2023 to 33571 in 2025, the branch has become progressively more accessible, but it remains MUJ's benchmark for competitiveness. Reserved-category candidates can expect more relaxed closing ranks than these General figures and should confirm exact numbers from the official MAHE/MUJ counselling documents for their category before locking in branch preferences.
